Question bout airspace

[KnOkIn It 420 10+ year member]

Ok I have the room but i would like to say under 13 cubes or so,Now I am goin with kiker cvr's,should I go with 4 15's and I build a 12 cubic feet box from kicker's spec on the "compact" box specs(smallest box to use ported). Or use 4 12" cvr's in the spl/deepbass specs givin by kicker(the largest box for ported the 12's)?That equals 9 cubic feet.What do ya'll think?

In all honestly I would go with either or, depending on what power you have. You could possibly run a higher end sub (a pair) if you wanted. save room and have the same output. I never really saw the the deal with running more low/midline subs instead of less high quality subs. Not bashing your choice as i've heard som great setups with these subs, but I don't know what the box was exactly. Maybe you could go with 2 SX 15's from the group buy. You could possibly get away cheaper like that.

I was considering 2 15 sx but they said compared to 4 15 cvr it would tak a lot of planing for a box to get the sx to equal the 15's because of the cone advantage..

naw, with the right power (SX handle more of course) and correct box size the SX would more than likely walk on those CVR's. OR if you want to stick with 4 cubes, possibly 4 SE 12's sealed or ported would (from what ive heard, my opinion will be fact in january) walk all over those CVR's. Hit me up if you need a box plan for them, i've got a few references but i've done plenty of work to show you it (sig shows a couple). Let me know if you need some help bro. Take care.

Alright kewl,I have an Orion 2500d so wired to 2 sx would create a .5 ohm load right?Would the sx's handle that power in like a 9 cuft box?What do ya'll think will 2 15sx out do 4 15 or 12 kicker cvr's?

I don't mean to be offensive at all when I say this, but do you know what your getting yourself into? From my reading the Orion 2500D is a very "fragile" amp. Meaning if the wrong person gets their hands on it and has a try at tuning, and its not correct.....its done for. BUT to answer your question, 9 cubes is prolly a good option for 2 SX 18's AFTER displacement. Also, just because you have your amp at .5 doesnt mean you need to use it at full tilt. I would also look into a new alternator (around 200 amp) and a battery (odyssey is what i was told to go with) and get the biggest one you can, if you are looking to compete with this car AT ALL you may want to look at what batteries are allowed.

I suppose I can get them to put dual 4 ohm vc,I think it is only like a 25 dollar fee per sub

He never mentioned four SX's, only two 18's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
