got it in a trade...its brand new...not sure if im going to keep it...but i def want to try it out...do my own JL vs. the world test...

where do they shine, sealed or ported? wattage? i can either give it 1400, 1800 or 3100 roughly...i thought the 3100 was too much...

how many cubes roughly?

 

[Atimm693 10+ year member]

Id do something like 2.5-3 cubes.

I really dont know though, that sub has some serious movement, maybe sealed to reach its full xmax.

im browsing all the forums now trying to get an ideal set of #'s to look at...i will probably run the kx1200 to it, which puts out just under 1500 at 1...i thought the sub would take more like 2k or so...i kind of want to hear this world ending SQ and earth shattering SPL all in one setup, might have to build 2 boxes...

IMO, the w7's should be ported and tuned to no higher than 30hz. But, that won't be good for SPL guys. Can't say about power. I have 1000w rms available for my 12w7 but only use about 600 if I had to guess. My basshead days are nearing an end...

3 cubes tuned to 33hz is a good start..if u want more output tune to 36hz....s far as port atleast 50 square inches cuz as stated earlier they move air

80
