that just........................doesnt sound right. I dont want to do that.

why not? it will get the best output b/c w/ 9 cubes your cutting it very close.... b/c thats w/o driver and port displacement for 4 woofers...

is 1.75 w/out displacement enough? isnt that reccommended. Because that I think I could fit. its a 98 toyota avalon. Its just more work to calulate out and build 2 seperate boxes. and If I do 3, and could have fit 4 id be pissed.

wow your choking off the trunk alot putting 4 12's into an avalon, 1.75 isnt great but it works....

you think ill get better output and SQ out of the TI's at full power? Or do you think I should give it a shot.

3 dvc woofs and 2 amps.. of course u can do that.

3 coils per amp, just match em with a DMM and your good.

Going to be building a system for a buddy and I think i'll tell him to go with the 12" type-r's, what would you guys recommend for tuning/box size/wattage for sq-sql. Keep in mind that he doesnt know a whole lot about car audio so ridiculously large amounts of power may not be a good idea, just something good for daily driving that he won't **** up.

Anyone?

buuuuuut, can I make 4 work with 9, mayyybe 10 cubes. Would 1.75 cu. ft ported sound alright at 700 watts is the question im asking, or would I be happier with the 15" ti's at full power?

But that means one of the subs is going to get power from both amps, and the other 2 will be seperate right.....i dont want one amp putting more power to the sub on one VC, and the other not being the EXACT same.

2 amps, 3 woofs... works fine, dont worry about screwin stuff up... just take ure time and do it right.

How do I set the amps so they are at the exact same gain?

 

[snb778 5,000+ posts]

sry! and how big should I make the enclosures then, as close to 9 ft total as possible still? How should I make a box with 3 subs. 2 in 1 box and another in a seperate? or all three in one chamber?

fiberglass the wheel well, I can do it + 3 amps, trust me. Ill get it done.

 

[snb778 5,000+ posts]

I could slide a 6 to 6 1/2 ft. box in and out of my trunk. no wheel well useage, and it could have been wider.

Hey I was actually going to get your car because it had a big trunk in it. I would have thought your was bigger.
