you only have space for two 10s or two 8s or a single 12. No wonder you arent hitting hard. Your current subs need 2x to 2.25x that airspace to get any kind of real output. I'd get a DC audio XL 12 and put it in a proper ported box and it should destroy your current setup with your current amp.Yes the trunk is very small I actually have 212s in it now plus a 5 gallon air tank with compressor for the train horn so it is pretty small. That being said I can get about 1.25 ft.³ per sub. I’m also not trying to enter any competitions I was just seeing if there was a better sub out there for my application. I know there’s a lot of negative things about kicker online but I’ve had two subs in an amp for over eight years now in my daily drivers and never had a problem that’s why I got that amp i’m going to a place this week to see if they could make a box for that to sundown 12 inch Nsv4 and I’ll just get another one of the amps I just bought. I’m only .25 cubic foot off of what they recommend for a ported box
Do you read the post? I don’t have l7 and I am going with sundown subs. But I came here because I thought there were people that would know more about this. Did not know I was going to have to jump throw hoops to get my ? Answered I thought I gave you everything you needed to know what car, my budget, what amp I wanted to use. And that I would have a custom box built for the sub. But it worked because I found the sundown subs on here. Glad I could aggravate you thoughYou're just gonna do whatever you want anyway so why bother coming to an audio forum asking us for our help/suggestions?
Of course there's better subs out there that will blow those Kickers to ****. You still fail to understand it takes space to make more bass, which your trunk limits you.
I swear if he says he's running 2 l7 12's in his next reply again imma go off....we already know what the fk your running.....
only when its in a proper box. This fool barely even has enough space for a 10" L7Slo_Ride said:L7's don't ****. I've seen many many many L7 setups that are a lot louder than probably most here.
They only need One cubic foot for a sealed enclosureonly when its in a proper box. This fool barely even has enough space for a 10" L7
you will get absolutely nowhere with a sealed enclosure if loud is the goal.They only need One cubic foot for a sealed enclosure
You’re right I guess I should’ve put a number on what I wanted. I know my 2 l5 at 1200 rms did over 130 but that’s as high as the meter that I had went . when I put the system in the car I knew the limitations of the car there’s no way I could fit a ported box and still have room for everything else I want. I didn’t think I would get 150 DB in that car unless I purpose built it for that, but it’s a daily driver I just want something louder than I have now. I know my system now makes the rearview mirror of the car shake next to me. I have an appointment with the car audio shop to look at the car to see if they could build a ported box for the sundown subs. For just the woodbox I’m getting quotes from 250 to 500 is that about average?you will get absolutely nowhere with a sealed enclosure if loud is the goal.
single 10 in a properly built ported box will destroy a pair of 12s in a sealed. Not sure what your definition of loud is but ours is breaking windshields, making hair fly and crushing internal organs which is all above 150 db. Sealed will not get you any of that, you'll be lucky to break 138 db with sealed in an altima.
a bit high, should be 200-300 fully painted etc.. You actually want to go down to a single beefy 12 ported over sealed setups if you want some real loudness.You’re right I guess I should’ve put a number on what I wanted.
