need a pair of 12" subs recommendations help me please

Only 3.13 before any displacements. Not likely to fit 2 subs in there ported after displacement. Would be good for a single 12" ported though.

So 400 for a single 12 or dual 10s?

Your depth seems very shallow...Are you using height as the bottom of the floor up and depth as front to back?

3.95ft3 before displacements still to small for 2 12s ported in most cases.

You could do areo ports and save some space though....hhmmm I think that may work. Increases the cost of an enclosure though.

yes this is correct, sorry not much room in a chevy hhr

If you do one good 12 in the enclosure, I think you would be very happy and impressed with the output of just one sub in a properly built enclosure.

Or 2 10s....always an option as well as multiple 8s.

ok how deep would i need to go to get what i need remember i have 1500 mono amp

1500 would be fine a single subwoofer in the $400 range. Let me see what we can do.. right now I would say if you go with a slot port you would have 2.5ft3 give or take a bit..maybe even 2.75 depending on sub displacements. For the skars(again I have not looked) people have said 1.75 per, this means you need 3.5 total after displacements. If you do areo ports I think you will be right at it already.

If you did subs up and port back with a 6" areo port around 15-15.5 long that would be idea, but you would be far to close to the back wall. You could also do subs up or back and 2 4" at 14.5 but again your getting close to the back wall. Another option is a 6" or dual 4" port to the side.

You would still need to go a tad(not a lot) larger on your enclosure though. You would need 3.75 plus sub displacements and plus port displacements.

AE Speakers Online Store

two 15s for $300, wont need anymore than 1000 watts, will have some of the best SQ u ever heard while getting solidly loud with 2 15s

i talked with FI and he said

"FI Q is just a straight gap long coil woofer.."

doesnt sound very good as far as being great SQ. not saying it *****, but sounds like i rather have an xbl2 motor, or AE motor
