i know that but he says hes got 3.5 cubes im asking if he got that per sub or total since he says hes got 2. ive got 2 but i know how to use mine

3.5 cubes per sub right?

7 ****ing cubes for 2 12"'s ??? lol... no... 1.75 each... Thats the recommended size...

Anyways I couldn't go any bigger...

BTW... I'm not saying.. Either send 2 subs 750w clipped signals... It's just SQ decreases the higher the gain is set... It's not like I'm ruining my shit... Or send 1 sub a good signal... They are both "good" signals, I'm just wondering if 1 @1000w would get very loud compared to two?...

i have mine in almost that big of an enclosure sealed. if you can't go any bigger, than seal them at around 1.25 per sub. that's too small ported.

o wow now we know your problem . Type r aint gonna sound good in a sealed box to start with. run 1 in a ported box if its a 12 then do 2.7 cubes and around 1kw rms and it will be loud if you dont have room for both in a ported box. so you need a ported box 2.7 cubes i would say around 34hz tuning and 1kw and you will be set. umm wtf are you ported or sealed???????? ported thats waay too small.

3.5 ported is way to small? Then why would that have been recommended to me?

Mine is 3.5 cubes with a 33hz port.

Mine is 3.5 cubes with a 33hz port.

For 2 12's I would do 4 cubes total after displacement. 50-60 square inches of port area total.

ok do you have both subs in a 3.5 cube box? ported?

type r's are fine sealed. not optimal, but it's not bad. i'd bet that 2 sealed get just as loud or louder than 1 ported. it's a crock that R's can't be sealed.

Could I just reverse mount them then? That would solve the issue of it being to small.

yeah. that is too small ported for those.

Yes TWO PORTED 3.5 cubes

See above Q about reverse mounting

 

[liftedcj7on44s 10+ year member]

personally if it were me i would try 4.5 cubes at the desired tuning. just so you can get a little more bottom end. you can reverse mount them but you may end up with some undesirable motor noises
