ya, im confused on this too. some say smaller box, some say bigger. but it just goes to show you, the info im looking for is info other people need as well.

ah yes, detailed questions. i love it. they are 2ohm coils, series/parallel, one + and one - from each sub is running to the amps. so every terminal on the amp is being used. i did not try unstrapping them. i only tested them 5 min b4 posting this thread and didnt have time to do any more testing yet. ah ha. i can just keep my pretty box and replace my solder joints with wire nuts! its so simple!! lol . if only i were lucky enough for it to be that simple. although i do have a lot of solder joints... i was running out of 8awg so i connected a few smaller pieces together. any more info i can give to help?

i put it in the first post guys lol

there is nothing wrong with your memphis. keep it. the jl wont help your system in any way. put the $200 into something that will make a difference or resell the jl and make some money off it. like my dad always says "you cant fix what aint broke" so dont try.

wait wait wait... this isnt about whats better, its about if you should replace your memphis with a jl? why spend $200 for an amp that does the same thing your amp does?

bump for more tips. i had hoped jacob would have more to say on this.

this is my daily system so music is always played on it. 5 cubes. two 6" flared PSP ports. ya man, any help you can give, im all ears. exactly my thought. since it'll be playing music, i think i have to look at the box for this answer. i didnt get a chance to test other frequencies today. ill try to get it done tomorrow and post the results.

well if the theory behind flared ports being more efficient if true, i should have a lot of port area. maybe i need to go back to a slot port and go bigger?

that would mean running them at .25ohm each. not really comfortable with that. not with only 2 batteries at least.

i understand that but my peak is at 45hz so i only really cared about testing at that frequency. if there a way to lower the imp rise at 45hz? i mean, you only got less than 1ohm rise in your testing. there must be some way i can get results close to that. ill go do more testing at some more frequencies

how in gods name is jacob only get 1ohm rise in his testing? im not calling him out, i want to know the secret. i just got a clamp meter and my impedance was 12.5! i have 2 saz-1500's strapped at 2.5ohm. tested at 45hz. gain set with an o-scope. my box is 5^ft, two 6" flared ports tuned to 39hz. 115.8volts/9.2amps = 12.5 115.8 x 115.8 = 13409.64/12.5 = 1072.77 obviously im very disapointed that my two 1500w amps are only doing a little over 500w each. so what can i do to lower my imp rise? im sure a new box would be in order but maybe there are some little things i can do to mine to help? im ready to improve my knowledge guys. teach me all you can.

here is that same sundown 2000 for a lot cheaper. this is a refurb but it'll be damn solid. http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?...ath=65_67_69_98 and dont worry man, on this forum we dont give a rats ass what any box says. we test the amps and if they dont put out rated power or better, we dont give a shit about them. just forget everything you think you already know. study up on the forums and youll be good to go. welcome to car audio.

i just did a test the day i asked this question. i had some 6" pvc laying around so i took my speaker baffel and use some caulking to arratch it to the pvc. the on the other end i made a plug out of mdf. the plug was tight but i could knock it forward and backward to change the size of the enclosure. i kept going bigger till it sounded good. found out it had to be much too big for me to make an enclosure in the door. my doors are very well deadened and the big holes are sealed up. im still disapointed about its midbass.

it says 2" from the corner of the "L" on in the port to the point of the 45*. that means that itll be closer than 2" at the middle of that 45*. that's where your going to get port noise from. make that corner into a 45 so itll be the same distance from that middle 45. you know what i mean?

yep, pretty simple. then run wires off the back battery to your amps.

ya. thats plenty fine.

happy birthday.

really? my sister's was pretty damn fast. nice little v6. there is a new texas team on the forums. find them and see if someone is close to you.

no idea where that is but i wish i could help. i want to put 18"s in a cougar SO bad. lol almost bought my sister's when she sold it.

tore the spiders? find a used one on ebay.

huh... cant make car payments but you can buy a little system? lol sorry but thats funny.

go search how to set your gains. then go pray your coil doesnt fall apart from the damage you did to it.

thats the coil on the sub burning. probably because you didnt set the gains correctly and your clipping. if you EVER smell smoke. turn it down 1st and see if it goes away. dont just assume its something outside.

huh... still cant get a responce.

forget the fiberglass and use bracing. much faster and cheaper.
