just wondering if anyone would the size of xs batt that will fit in my 2002 pt 2.4L ?
-
hey everyone im sure this question was ask before but i dont feel like going threw a old topics to find it.... i saw on the web site that the level 5 12" only needs a 1.5 cuft box .. is this right ? thats seems like a lot of watts in a small box ... could i build a bigger one and still have it sound good and/or hit hard ? plus what would be a good amp to push that sub ?
-
This question gets asked alot and you usually get the same answer. Its all about what your wanting to do! If you just gonna street beat then any of the above would be a good choice. Just keep in mind bro your gonna have to have the electrical to support the amp that your gonna need to push this kind of equipment. Your gonna give up alot of space for a proper enclosure. Like TeamHT said 12's are going to be your better fit it sounds like. It be better to have 12's in a properly sized and tuned enclosure than say some 15's choked down. Thats just my opinion homie.
hey you know that does make cents. i do love a good 15 but im sure there are hard hitting 12s i may like. as for the electrical im upgrading it all. i found a 250 amp alt. on line, will do the big 3 in 1/0. and 2 batteries. im staying with 3 amps. 1 4 ch and 2 sub amps. this is my daily driver after all lol .. the big system will go in my s-10 project.
-
12s easily. Should be a very nice setup.
yeah.. so what 12's are good ? dc audio lvl 5 . re audio . there are so many and i want some that will really pound. i like the way my 15 sounds now i just wish i made a bigger box for it .
-
It is very good. But I like lots of air, lots of port, and lots of power so I sold the hcca after a month, lol.
An AQ on each hcca wired to 1 ohm in a single box, separate chamber. It was a very nice setup but...yeah...if you're getting a good deal do it. If not...I'd spend the money elsewhere
yeah i got very limited space. 15's are pushing it. the biggest box i can build is 6.5 cuft.. so what would you recommend on 15's or 12's that would get me hittin hard
-
Of course ported, lol. And 2.5 cubes after displacement tuned to 35hz
lol i figured . so that set up hits real hard ? and you said you used 2 amps ? did each woofer gets is own or were they strapped and then wired to the sub?
-
If its the newer hcca amps its crap. Rated at max. Old school hcca amps are legit. I love the hcca subs but they didn't like anything over rms. I installed two 12.2s on two AQ2200 and they were beautiful!
what size box did you use ? was it ported ?
-
I took it on a trade, still brand new never powered. I am curious to see what it could do.
All the new HCCA stuff that I have heard has been in half-ass installs, so I really can't tell the full potential.
not a bad trade. the store i went to said they would do 2 12's for $700 and the 15's at 700 each. not cheep for sure.
-
I have A HCCA 12.2 on my workbench - man, it is a monster. I have no beef with orion, or the product they built. Seems very solid.
well that sounds good to hear. so that 12.2 you have, how did it sound and what amp were you running to it ? i have the room to do 2 15's but it will be very tight was thinking of running the 12's
-
how is the orion hcca line of subs and amps? the other day went to a local audio shop and saw the 15" orion hcca .. wow what a woofer . just want to know if it is worth investing in .
-
they are pretty straight man... just get one.. what you trying to bump?
i dont know yet . 2 15's for sure . either dc audio or re audio or i might just get another mtx 8500 15" to go with the one i already have. but they r over 500 dallors
-
From what ive HEARD the HFi Series does not come close to rated. But Brutus does. I had the same question, i bought an audioque instead that pumps the hell out of my 12s
how long has audioque been around for ? are they new ? i just herd of them a few weeks ago
-
they are worth buying if you're on a budget like me. they need 14.4V to put out rated power and lose about 18% of that for every volt lost. There are certainly better amplifiers available, but for the price, Hifonics is near the top.
sounds good to me . i found some on at a really good price. not to high and not to low. i know they have been around for a while so i figured they are somewhat good
-
are hifonics amp worth buying ? do they make a amp ?
-
wheres the third set going?
they are going in to kick panels
-
rear fill isnt NEEDED... it is good for some ambiance but they are usually on very low volume.
what are you doing with the tweeters?
If you really want to dial in an EQ, an RTA mic will help. but maybe you dont like a flat response... maybe 2000hz hurts your ears and you like extra midbass. your ears can tell you that just fine. dont get me wrong buddy, its a good thing to do. but ive never been on an RTA and i like to think i got my system to sound pretty good. although the ms-8 did most of it for me lol.
i dont know what im doing just yet . im still in the planing stage. i do know i want to run 3 sets of 6.5 comps and 2 8" subs as my midbass. one set of 6.5 will be in kick panels. the other 2 sets in the doors with 8s. for bass 2 12" dc audio level 5 or xl. and a round 4 amps
-
I can appreciate your longing for better sound but honestly, just run it passive esp if this is your "cheaper" setup.
You're asking what all you'll need and whether active is better when it takes a lot more than just plugging the right cables in and turning the to set the cut off.
If you already have rears in try turning it up with the new speakers in and see what you think.
If you have a shop near you that has access to a mic that will be your best bet. Just make sure you take your time. What 8's are you using for midbass?
i am thinking of going with 2 rockford 8" subs. they will be molded into the doors with 2 other sets of 6.5 comps.
-
the only problem with the 3sixty is that the low output is mono(no left and right). its really only made for tweeters, mids and subs. but maybe you can set it up to crossover where you want to with the high and mid outputs. im not sure, never played with one.
what about a rear fill ? do i need one ? i was thinking before to put some 6.5 comps in the rear doors. was even thinking of add 2 8" as well . but i want to keep cost low.
-
depends on what you want to do. you could do this with a 4 channel, the left 6.5"s get one channel right gets another. same thing for the 8"s. obviously if you want more power you get more amps to split up the 6.5"s.
otherwise you just need a crossover. you dont need a mic like finkster said. the crossover needs a bandpass channel for the mids and a lowpass for the midbass. you can just set the highpass on the amp for a bandpass effect on the midbass.
yes, it is much better. you could go with the crossover or get a processor. depends on how much you want to spend and what kind of results you want.
dont want to send a lot was thinking of using 2 4ch amps. but idk if ohms would match up right . if i did i would use the rf 3sixy.2 for my processor. i want something more simple that would give me the best sound.
-
unless you have access to a mic and a LOT of time on your hands, I would say stick to a CORRECTLY set up passive front stage.
But to answer you would need twice the number of channels and some sort of processor.
Try setting up like this first and see if you're happy.

well thanks for the help. i think ill go the simplest way. just want the best sound i can get. dont want to go all out for this car. the next car i will lol
-
i would like to run my mids and highs active . what would it take to run 3 6.5 comps sets and 2 8" midbass active ? is active better ?
-
Nothing wrong with those amps at all if you already have one. I'd just add another. So one amp per woofer. If you have not gotten the amp yet maybe look into American Bass Sundown, Stetsom, Cactus Sounds, SounDigital, other RF amps, etc.
Maybe research a little more before committing to an amp(s). I definitely would jump on the subs though. Great product and a real good price.
If you have the money and electrical I'd try to go around 2500-3000 wRMS per woofer.
Also, its not that the woofers won't be loud with the RF amp, it's just that those subs can take a lot of power. Maybe if the money isn't there, get an amp around 2500-3000 wRMS and see it how it sounds to you. If your satisfied, run with it, if not and you want more power, get another amp. Or sale and upgrade to a monster amp. haha. b/c the subs like power.
awesome sounds good . i have not gotten any of it yet still in the homework stage. but thanks for the help .
-
1 amp will be fine for now, if you plan on upgrading to 2 amps, shrink your enclosure slightly to compensate for the added power...
Should sound great on 1 or 2 amps...
or what about the re audio xxx 12" are they any good ? i think i seen them for 549 each.
-
That's a good price. They are a good brand of subwoofers.
The 2500 will not be enough in the sense that they can take a good bit more. Might be enough for you though. Maybe get the 2500 for now and add another later if you feel the need to.
should 1 do one amp per woofer? or go with a diff. amp ?
what will hit harder ?
