Orion HCCA 12.2 on 3kwrms box recommendations!!

[BumpinKota 10+ year member]

Iv got an orion hcca 12.2 being powered by a sundown 3k. Iv got a 6" aeroport layin around was thinking about using that. Just wondering what a good box size would be for these subs iv been hearing too much of a variety of sizes to use. Was thinking around 3 cubes @ 32hz w the aero. Its in a dodge dakota extended cab being downfired. Let me know what you guys think, Thanks.

3 is a little too much.

A lil more specific would be fantastic

3kw is not at all too much power if you know what you are doing. Seen 12.2's on 8+kw each in the past.

He wasnt saying its too much power he said too much airspace...

Given they have specs listed, Id be happy to do the design for a fee.

I have no problem designing them im just looking for someone who has played with these to tell me what airspace is the most successful

The box designs in their manuals are very accurate. I would go off that.

You are going to need more than 28 square inches of port on 3000 watts RMS. If you are going for 3 cubic feet, then your port needs to be a bit larger to stay linear at high power levels.

I would shoot for 40-48 square inches of port for that sub, which precludes the Aero port, but you can make your own loud, round port with a little ingenuity.
