Would it matter?

I have a 06 mustang which means NO trunk space. I need 2.5 cubes for 2 10s but when we do a cardboard box, it doesnt fit. We have to use dimensions that dip to 2.2. I was wondering, would it matter if I built 2 boxes at 1.25 cubes each? I like the one box idea but it just wont fit through the trunk being so big. I dont see this affecting performance but what about wiring?

It would be completely fine if sealed.

If ported it would still be fine but you need to make sure both boxes were perfect.

Why not do 1 12" ?

I had one 12 and wanted something new lol. I want ported and optimal for them is 1.25 each. They are d2 subs so would i just wire each sub with a one ohm load and connect the positives and the negatives into the amp since its a mono?

I believe you could do that or you could wire them together @ .5 ohm or 2 ohm i believe. someone correct me if im wrong on that.

You could just go to a better 12" ported.

I had an Fi Bl 12 ported and sold it for 2 10s. Just trying something new as I got tired of it taking up my entire trunk. How would I wire them together for a 2 ohm load if they are in seperate boxes?

Wire each one to 1 ohm, then wire both subs to 2 ohm. Someone should be able to dray a diagram, i only deal with single sub set-ups.

Ok hopefully someone does that because I am kind of confused. Ive never had 10s and i just wanted to try them out. But i loved my single 12, especially since it sounded better than people with multiple subs.

I have a question. If your going from the 12" in 2.5, to 2 10"s in 1.25 a piece, how are you saving any room ? you said the 12" took up the whole trunk but you are looking at the same box size. I would go to a better 12".

I believe I have it. Connect 1 neg and 1 pos together for each sub then just run both sets of wire to amp and put the positives together and the negatives together. Should be a 2 ohm load.

Im sure tomorrow someone can tell you, i dont want to say something wrong now and confuse the hell out of ya.

Well the way I built it, I didnt care for trunk space so i was going to rebuild a box this summer but decided to sell it all to my friend and try a single 10. Then I wanted 2 10s because i knew i could build a box that was the same size as my 12 but make it fit in my trunk easier to where i had room. Basically i changed my mind after i sold it. I figured if i kept the 12 id be doing the same thing as 2 10s so why not.

Have you decided on the 10"s yet ?

 

[srt4100 10+ year member]

Yes I did. Diamond d9s. Im going with the 2 boxes setup because that will fit easy and be able to take out easy if i get a flat. According to PSP port calculator, a 2 inch port per box needs 6 inches, while a 3 needs 10. Will it matter the diameter of the port? I used a 4 inch aero on my 12 but at 4 inches i need 20 inches which i wont have.

I have mine in two separate boxes, jus run the wires to the box terminals then from there to the amp, it wont affect the load if wired right in the boxes.
