So, some have larger surrounds, etc making the effective cone area less. You need to go by the effective cone area for that woofer x its xmax, to get linear displacement. "cubic liters of air" Displacement is what we are looking for in bass. The more displacement there is = the more air being moved. Since bass is all about moving air, that means you will be louder. If everything is done correctly. The very first thing I look at in a woofer is displacement, then bl, the qts,qes, then power. Hope i didnt confuse anyone. Im done for now. so let me ask this should i be looking for something with 4 12s which would give me an area of 452.39( also never had 4 twelves before either) because in the right enclosure i could make this louder than say anything else i could fit in my alloted area."in theory"

yea basically.. and just ideas for the enclosure or anything that i need to make this successful. b/c once its done its gonna be done for a while and as far as budget goes lets say 1500 dollars cuz like i said at the most i can support about 5500 watts and thats prob with big voltage dips So is 1500 for the subs and amps??? If so I would do a pair of 15" AQ HDC3's on an AQ3500, which would be a total of about 1350 shipped...... That would work best with the space and budget you have Edit: The box I came up with using the specs you listed is Height- 21.5 Width- 40 Depth- 27 Port is 3" tall, 38.5"Wide(the entire bottom of box minus wood thickness) and 23" Long Gives you a port area of 13.7" of port per cube, tuned to 34Hz This gives you a space of 8.39 cubes after sub and bracing displacement(.25 for bracing) The port height to width ratio is 1:8. The OP would need a 5" high port if he wanted the port as wide as the box, but that'd completely throw tuning off. say what??

Ok First off ive been on here a while learned alot but im always willing to learn more and this is my opportunity.Im redoing my sub stage in my truck its a 2001 ford escape. Now i know about the " its take power to make power" quote so i have already taken care of that issue with mechman currently i have a 270 amp alt being built and will have 3 kinetik batterys 1400 up front and 2 1800s in the rear with a dual power and ground set up for wiring.(Shok industries) i have not decided as to what sub amp or subs i would like to run this is were everybody plays a part. i need help in designing a proper sub stage. currently today i the largest system that ive had to date is 2500 watts. and it was decent but i wanna make the just to around 4500 watts just in the subs stage.(still small power i know but im tryin) the biggest box that i can support without giving up my back set is 27 deep 21.5 high( because i wanna stay below the window line) and 40 wide.Most importantly i dont care about NUMBERS due to the fact i dont compete but i would like this build do displace alot of air. i know there are alot more in-outs to doing this than prob what i have described but it a question arises i will do my best to get an answer to you so you guys can give an answer to me. currently i dont really know what to expect cost wise but i know im not gonna drop 5k on it right now cuz im only 23 and still with working 2 jobs and going to college cash is hard to come by. so with in reason please come with ideas of what i need to do for this idea to successful. Thanks in advance

interesting? maybe so

great work guys keep it going.. ill keep enjoying the show.

sorry i havent seen your reply my internet has been really crappy lately. check my name in the refs section i just sold a stetsom amp and the buyer had nothing but good to say. i have a few other sales there too, some were before the site got it's new look so i hope they are still there. i also have a gold star seller/buyer rating on ebay.what you lookin to trade? might be interested. why are the fuses different is that a 20? and some 30?s

the 12volt.com has great wiring diagrams with pictures included..check there all u gotta do is select number subs and their impedance and bam..!!!! and the check with a ddm to make sure ur gettin the correct load

no such thing as to much power grasshopper...only not enough experience- car audio proverb

So the bigger the magnet the more in tense the movement?

I'm gettin lost now this may sound stupid but well Wat roll does the magnet play?

I'll be Damn.... well can u do level 5 soft parts on it....

Are the motors 100 a piece or for all 3

So can u buy a level 3 sub with upgraded soft parts?

congrats man im lookin in to a few xls my self

NICEEE!!! what u running..

Contact thorhammer or wcarusty for prices nobody is going to post them on here

I concur

Y Nt 1 3500? Audioque or rather than 2 2200s I suggest a sundown 4500
