85128 Would lvl 2 10's be better then the 12's I have? Or would 1 12 with higher power be better.... That is my question really...

I need some help with what sub or subs to buy for my next install... I will have around 3 cubes to work with. 1200 watts I currently have 2 12" JL W3's and they are ok in a 3.5 box but I feel the DC will outperform them. I wanted to get some space back in my trunk....and 3.5 is just a bit to large for my liking. Figure max of 3 cubes would give me just a little back. Lastly I listen to lower bass music such as Dj Magic Mike / Young Jeezy / Bass Mekanik etc etc So here is the question... 2 10's 1 12 I was thinking with 1200 watts (Rockford Power series) that I can do a 12" DC lvl 4. But then I thought maybe 2 10's? Also, they are going into a 2008 Civic SI coupe. This will be a daily driver. I currently have the big 3 done with KnuKonceptz 1/0 full copper wiring. 1/0 also going to a distro, then 4gauge to the amps. Optima Yellow top in stock location. Alpine CDA9997 in dash. What do you guys recommend? I really want a good balance of feeling the music and it getting loud. I would at least like to beat out the subs I have now.... I have done some google searches, youtube, and even emailed DC. They even recommened maybe a 15, but I do not think I have the clearance for that. Really looking for ideas here.....and even maybe someone with a car similar and what they did. And keep the videos coming DC!! The Thorhammer videos are killer!

If you did a backup, you could always restore the PM's in the database New forum looks good though!

congrats man! cant wait to see the build

tyty!

I have no issues waiting if that is the procedure. I didnt know is all. I have an email and PM in, I can wait on those.

Ohh..... didnt know that. Just got turned on to Dc Audio. My apologies.

Hey guys, just looking for a rough estimate how much the 15" Level 3's are.... I emailed the sales and PM'd Rusty with no response. Im sure they are just busy, but I want to start building a box and need to know if these are the speakers im going to end up purchasing. Anyone help me out?

Yea Im doing 2 15's. I tried the calculator above and it was pretty nice. Although I have never done a ported box before so will probably be on here asking questions making sure I get it right.

OMG...I am sorry! I noticed the subject. This will be for 2 15"

Rockford T1000-1BD 1260@ 1ohm I added in the .15 for the speaker, but bracing and all that I dont know how much to add. First box/design... Ive been running the calculator for awhile, and cannot seem to match up the box volume and port area and Hz, lol

Been running some numbers....how does this look. Height - 18 Width - 38 Depth - 20 Port Dimensions Height - 16.5 Width - 3 Length - 7.5 Given the speaker displacement is .15? and 3/4 MDF I got 6.07 ft3 net airspace 31.92 Hz How does this sound? Any recommendations? The only restraint I have is width....which is 40" max. Other then that I would like to stay at 18" height just to stay under the back seats.... Should I have more air space? Should I change the tuning? Any advice will help! I am searching through the forums for answers also, but no hits yet.....

Thank you!

Want to get a ported box designed and I dont know the speaker displacement. Anyone? Thanks in advance!

Really? I cant try that link since im at work...ill try it at home. I thought the RE calculator was decent, lol. Any other options you guys use?
