Hey there-
After reading through some of your guys' posts, and recently having a small dilemma of my own, I decided to ask your expertise on this subject matter
Now, I have a 98 cavalier with 1 dd 12" 3500 in a sealed enclosure made for 2 subs. (Idle Type X in the other side takin up space) anyways-- Im pushin the 3500 with a kenwood 1000 2ch amp-bridged. AND OH LORDY, does that mofo just slam although my amp cuts out constantly. When I first hooked this setup up, I had my amp 3/4's the way up--and watched it cut out every other bass hit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Obviously this is because it can not push the dd. I turned my amp down..like way down... like its at 1/4 if its power right now. No more cutting out, and it still SLAMS hard as FFFFFFFF with vol on 25 (of 50) woofer out on 1(of 8) and bass on +2 (of 8) My roommate's boss told us that if we swapped boxes, and got a single ported box, loudness would almost double. so were building a new box this weekend out of 3/4 MDF board. 21x22x16 external dimensions. 6" port i believe
Now for the issue..
I have a kenwood kac-9152d 1800watt mono amp on the way that I JUST purchased off of ebay like...2 days ago. The thing is, is ill have a dd 9500 inplace of the 3500 in a couple of days here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif compliments of my roommates co-worker who does SPL comps. and uses only dd9500
Is a kac9152d amp enough to push a 9500 on an everyday level? I'm an IT technician, im in my car constantly through out the day. I dont know how many watts a 12" 9500 is, but I don't want to hurt it at all. I dont want my sub yawnin cuz the amp isnt shit, and I dont want my amp yawnin cuz the sub isnt shit..which i know isnt the case lol.. So..any help you guys can give is greatly appreciated.
