Like i said I dont want the car to shake like none other. So ill keep ported in mind, but what are some of your thoughts on bandpass and sealed?

Bandpass, FTL

Sealed, FTW

Care to explain why?

(You dont have too, I appreciate the help thus far //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif )

Its all good, Bandpasses sound like crap, especially prefabs. You are going to get basically the same sound outta ported as bandpass.

Well im making it myself.

But bandpass is like the same as ported?

Well then sealed it is, thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Bandpass is like for SPL, I dont like bandpass for Sh*t. I would go sealed outta the 2.

 

[ArrizX 10+ year member]

So then what it ported for? Just loudness? Bandpass is SPL and thats loudness and quality? Then sealed is for really only quality?

So with two 12''s in a sealed, (because they are so loud, sealed would be perfect.

Any disadvantages to a sealed? Like does it need a bigger box? Eaiser to blow them? Anything/

Ported is for SPL

Sealed is for Sound Quality

Oh, well that isnt even a question, SEALED!

Between those 2 again, go sealed

sealed requires alot less space than ported but wont have the output as ported would,

u'll also want to feed subs more power in a sealed app.

 

[ArrizX 10+ year member]

Erm...

How much more power. BEcause I was thinking of getting a 1200RMS @ 1ohm. That wouldnt cut it for this?

This setup WILL pound , is DECENT QUALITY , and sound good too . This is one online dealer , there are MANY others , I just threw them out as an example . You could go the Ebay route and maybe save a little cash but warrantee might be spotty , Ikes has a decent rep. and has always been good to me .

You could look for a prefab sealed box , most of them are made of 3/4 MDF and are 1.25 to 1.5 cu ft per sub which would work well with the Type R and save you the trouble of building your own enclosure .

Enough people have recommended the equipment . Time to shit or get off the pot dude !//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I have 70 sq feet of deadner in my trunk and still get rattle and flex. Bass will cause flex. period. No matter what. Just think about it really hard. Thin metal vs subs pushing tons of air. Subs win. Now if you realy want to get into it you could build a false lid with 3/4 mdf, that might stop it. 2 10's will probably sound better and get louder than 1 12. Surface area. And this is based upon you having the right box and the right power. Good luck.

Well, I think that im going to get the two 12'' and put them in a sealed. Im not even going to worry about the flex. No big deal, its inevitable (sp). But whoevers, eh?
