Ok...My max dimensions with the rear seat in is 49" wide...26" high...& 20 deep.. I can remove my rear seat if I need to but I think this is enough room for atleast 11 cubes.. This is in a 99 Caravan btw..I went on Kickers site and found NO box recommendation sizes..So I have no clue what size to shoot for or at what hz range..help please..

what are you looking to tune to?

 

[BrianChia 10+ year member]

10 cf @ 35hz for daily.

10 cf @ 56hz for competition.

That's what says in the manual. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Why?

what are you trying to get from this?

What do you mean? From the sub or from this post? From this post im trying to get info like these guys are giving me.. A good idea of how big my box should be and what it should be tuned to because I couldn't find info on it anywhere. Once I get straightened out how many cubes it needs to be and at what hz range then I will have my guy whip out a box design and cut sheet for me...btw my guy is "iDesignBoxes"..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif If you mean what am I trying to get from this sub the answer is BASS...For a weekend warrior kind of deal..entering into a few little home town competitions, scaring the wife and kids and small animals..you know that kinda thing...

i would do 7-8 cubes tuned to 35. how much power you got?

 

[Bipolar 10+ year member]

Well....I have not actually got "the power" yet..I was looking at a DD z1 or 2 kicker ZX2500's.. I for sure will run no less then 4000 rms but I want as close to 5000 as I can get.. maybe even a bd40001 Fosgate...or something...open to suggestions..

Well people find my opinion to be bias but in all truth the ZX is the choice i would make. I have tested many amps and the ZX came out on top for me.

id do 7.5 cubes at 36hz

 

[Bipolar 10+ year member]

OK thanks guys, I assume you guys would go with sub up, port back, correct.

 

[massiveaudiocw 10+ year member]

I can design you a box if you want, hit me up on aim (SundownAudioNY)

It all depends on how much power you are gonna run and what your looking for in results. That will determine the box specs.

cool, another Indianaian and I see you're from Washington. I played basketball with Luke Zeller //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Anywho, I don't think a huge 10 cubic foot enclosure would be necessary, especially if you are going to give that sub a lot of power.
