8 Inch Vince 6 #1 Posted September 24, 2018 I just bought a brutal sounds 5k and I'm looking for two 10s or two 12s that can handle the power. Either dual 1 ohm or dual 2ohm. I can get 6k at .5 ohm. My trunk dimensions are -HEIGHT: 15 -LENGTH: 37 -DEPTH: 24 I can do two beefy 10s but I think 12s are an option too. What do you guys think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8 Inch Vince 6 #2 Posted September 25, 2018 Here's what I have found... Orion HCCA 10 D American Bass HD 10 Sundown SA X 10 DC Audio Level 4 XL 10 Deaf Bonce SA31 10 I'm going to wire to .5 ohm to combat box rise. Brutal Sounds claims their 5k only pulls 240 amps at 1 ohm which is insane if true. Realistically I could get like 6 or 7k from this thing. I'm so stoked but I need subs that can keep up. I'm not sure if these can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8 Inch Vince 6 #3 Posted September 25, 2018 I'm tuning low like 32hz so I want something musical and can play low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mestapho 2 #4 Posted September 25, 2018 I just built a box for 2 SA12s that is 38x14x21. With your dimensions 2 12s will work fine and be better able to handle that kind of power. I’d suggest mocking up a box of those dimensions in cardboard to make sure it’ll fit through the trunk opening before committing to a design. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ckeeler11 13 #5 Posted September 25, 2018 You are at 5.9 cubes before port or subs that is using 1" mdf which on that power there is no way I go any smaller and still double up the baffle. You will want around 22" of port area per cube. the best I could do was a port 13x5.5 @ 44" long which only leaves you with 3.1 cubic feet for volume. The DC's and the SA's would do okay not sure of the others have not modeled them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shredder2 326 #6 Posted September 26, 2018 I looked at the problem and made some compromises trying to go with 12's... this turned out pretty good IMHO... I'd go with the XL-12's if it was going in my ride... 6K on this ought to do fine IMO... If I was trying to get the maximum on 6K with your space... ^^^^ that wouldn't be a bad way to go IMHO Not a bad result for a collection of compromises... lol JVC KD-X350BTS, RE Sx-18d4 9ft3 36.86hz, Synergy 3K@ 2 ohm, RF 500s, Polk DB comps, Cache Preamp/EQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THATpurpleKUSH 1,698 #7 Posted September 26, 2018 Switch the design to an aeroport and you could gain more volume. You can easily do 4cf with a low tuned aeroport with those dimensions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8 Inch Vince 6 #8 Posted September 26, 2018 Anybody got a design? I haven't ordered the subs yet but the 12s would give me much more options. I want it to play low. 1 shredder2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shredder2 326 #9 Posted September 26, 2018 Sure... I looked at an aero but the supposed power and port length made it a doozy. So I went with a slot and as much port area as I could without a 50"+ port. That'd be something I'd trunkwall above if it was mine and should do great, port compression is there but its gonna take a whole buncha power to get there, and it ought to get loud ... thats for sure.. I like those difficult ones... lol JVC KD-X350BTS, RE Sx-18d4 9ft3 36.86hz, Synergy 3K@ 2 ohm, RF 500s, Polk DB comps, Cache Preamp/EQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8 Inch Vince 6 #10 Posted September 26, 2018 I don't think I can do the two 12s. The height is only 13 inches with the subs facing up or 14.25 with subs on the side. I can def do two tens but don't know if I can find anything that will handle 5 or 6k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8 Inch Vince 6 #15 Posted September 26, 2018 Okay guys here is what I've come up with. American Bass HD 10 D2 - $254 each Sundown X 10 D2 - $489 each DC Level 4xl 10 D1.4 - $450 each Orion HCCA 10 D2 - $450 each Out of these which will be the best daily sub and play the lows best? I decided to go with 10s mainly due to size restraints. With my diminishions of 37 W 13 H and 24 D that leaves me a little over 5.5 cubes to play with.
