[QUOTE="7ender, post: 6185078, member: 584862"] Well, I want a new sub for my boat. Currently running an oldddd audiobahn amp that's rated for 1200@1ohm (no idea what this puts out, but i'll assume somewhere aroudn 800 watts) and an alphasonik sub. Don't laugh or flame, theyv'e been in there for around 6 years before all this other good stuff came out [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG]. The boat is a wakeboard boat, and has very limited airspace for the box. I'm going to find out the exact dimensions tonight, but i'm about 99% sure I can't fit a decent sized ported box in there. Sub MUST be a 12" (If I were to start over i'd do a ported 10", but hole (in boat) is already cut for a 12"). I'm a bit worried about running that audiobahn amp at 1 ohm...it's been run at 2 for the last 6years, think it'll do okay? Electrical is very good, three optima yellowtops and a 160amp alt. Assuming it will, anyone have a recommendation on what to get? I was thinking of just going with an SSD or an LI cause they'll do okay off that 800. Goal here is more to get loud than sound good, though i'd like to retain some sq. Listening environment isn't exactly the best. I know a sealed box isn't the greatest application to achieve this, but that's what i'm stuck with. Trying to make it keep up with my speakers...but I dont' know if it's possibly off only 800. LOTS of speakers in the boat, two 10" mids (yes, mids, they're made specifically for boats) that run off a PPI 2000 watt amp, and four 6.5" Type R comps. [/QUOTE]
