Do you think 2 12" SE's in a ported box tuned to I dont know what would sound good in a home environment off a PE 1000Watt amp? Gonna be used for music movies and games.

1000w would be more than enough in a home setup. If done right, they would make a great sub-stage.

Don't see why not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Home audio boxes are generally tuned low...20 to 25Hz would be a good range.

What do you guys think of as far as how big the box should be I have no clue. And I have never heard 1000Watts in a home setting whats it like?

If you want the best audiophile setup, one box per side would be cool, but amping them becomes weird.

I would think Sealed would be a good way to go. Maybe like 1.6 cubes per sub?

So sealed would be better than ported in home use?

Not necessarily, it would just be easier and with 2 12"s, you'd have lots of output.

I want the most output out of these puppies so how would I port these that low and how big of a box oh and thanks for the help so far.

Well to port low you need a long port. As for dimensions of a box, just ask moelester or someone who does designs, it'll only cost you a few $.

Sweet so I need like a 4.0cuft box ported to like 22Hz something like that?

 

[DoubleR 10+ year member]

Or bigger box?

 

[Beat_Dominator 5,000+ posts]

That could work.

I like the idea of one sub on each side

In a quant little 2.5^ ft per sub, I think itd be well, it'd be quite CRAZY for home audio but hey, if it floats yer boat man

*Note* - Could anyone link me to a place where I can buy home audio amps? I'm wanting to build a little bit of a home audio system myself lol, I know minimal about it though
