Hey, before you read this Imma just say I know Im asking a lot with this.
I just picked up 2 Kicker Cvrs 12s from a guy. They are the 124 model (DVC) and they are 4 ohms, so I will wire them down to 1 ohm to match my 1 ohm stable amp, (Kenwood KAC 9104d). I know this isnt the best amp for this, but its the same one from my last setup.
Now, how do i wire 2 DVC, 4OHM subs down to 1 OHM? Please explain thoroughly.
Also, what box do you reccomend? My friend has a bandpass he is willing to sell to me for cheap. I hear good and bad about them, so I'm not sure. I have no clue what order it is, if you could describe them Im sure Id be able to figure it out.
Also, my dad is a handyman. He has powersaws, circular saws, the works. Would it better to go to LOWES, pick up some 5/8" MDF, and make it ourselves. I have no idea of the reccomened specs for a ported box for two kicker cvrs. And yes I want it PORTED. Last setup was sealed, (2 CVR 10s) so I want to try something a little different.
If you are partial to the Do it yourself, could you please tell me everything I need?
and could you please design or help me design a ported setup. It's going to a pontiac g6, so lots of trunk room. I just went outside and measured it, and with a little space for manuevering, I figured the depth should be 25" or less, (and thats with room to slide it in through the trunk opening or from the back seats), the height should be 15" or less, and the width should be 32" or less.
I dont know what materials I need, or where to find them. Also, I would like the box tuned to 34hz or somewhere in the general area, for loud boomy rap. I like to turn heads with my bass, and sometimes it can bit to be a little obnoxious, so boominess is ok because I will be able to turn the subs on or off with my headunit.
Whoever responds, thanks alot, and could you please leave your email so I can ask you further questions if i get confused and can show you the finished product! Thanks.
