This is very low quality equipment. Why dont you sell it all and get 2 quality 12" drivers and put some real power on them. And also save all of that room.

That's the million dollar question. Theres so many types of subs out now, you literally have to learn about them all before you make the decision, or else you may be buying woofer after woofer or building box after box, etc.

Do you like really loud music? Or just some bass to fill in the low frequency gap?

really really loud music

 

[funkyab 10+ year member]

think this was a very good choice.

Lets start with budget. How much are you wanting to spend??

 

[juschill 10+ year member]

for speakers $500 to $1000 and for amps $1500 to $2500

for that amount look for

2 DD 9515's

2 DD 9512's

Fi BTL's

Treo SSX

those are just a few

as for amps for that kind of money you can look at some great equipment

hell for your budget ill sell you my stuff that im not going to be able to use for a while

if you don't know how to wire 12 12's.. why are you putting together such a complicated system

 

[nauc 10+ year member]

for speakers $500 to $1000 and for amps $1500 to $2500

what subs/setups have you heard that you liked

and youre willing to spend $3500 for subs and amps and you were going to buy that Legacy crap

o my. at least you came to the right place

well didnt put this together bought it for the low with 3 year warranty on all speakers dont mind buying better speakers, amps what ever just want to know best way to hook it all up you know 1 ohm, 4 ohm , 1 amp or 3 etc they played the speakers 2 12's in a sealed box in the store and it was pretty loud on hifonics amp

been busy working but now i'm back and still at it got the hook up on 12 american bass xo's speakers still no amps any advice also I need help on where to order battery alternator what gauge wire to use I would really like to put this together with my son I have hooked up plenty of sound systems before but never on this scale

Ohio Generators is a pretty good place for alts. I would run powermaster or kinetik bats, and run 0 gauge wiring for the bats and highest you could use with the amps. Is there any reason other then you have the box already for why you want 12 subs? I mean 12 low quality subs could sound like 4 or even 2 great ones IMO.

 

[juschill 10+ year member]

thanks for reply guys well its because I have the box and my son wants to get into it so american bass twelves are no good either?
