Sealed box?

That's a REALLY expensive box for being so basic.

Your amp didn't blow because the sub was too much for it to handle. It doesn't work that way. You either had your sub wired down below the minimum impedance, or let your voltage drop so bad that the amp fried.

Your subs likely blew because you had the gain on the amp cranked all the way up, and you were clipping the subs to all hell.

[starting my first build]

You didn't learn from your mistake though!! You have no idea how to properly use that equipment, which just sets you up for failure in the future! You have yet to prove that you know enough about how a car stereo works to prevent future equipment failure. On top of that, you haven't even considered getting decent equipment. I'm not sure how you can even say those hifonics square subs are "sticking with what you know" when it sounds like you have zero experience with them.

I don't mean to come off as a douche, but you have some serious learning to do before I would consider any of your systems anything more than a fire hazard.

[starting my first build]

If you've already blown 5 subs and 2 amps, you need to stop buying and start learning something. Forget everything your "buddies" told you, in fact, forget everything you've been taught so far, because it hasn't gotten you far. Read around here for another month or two and then start putting your system together based on the knowledge you've acquired.

I can almost guarantee what you have planned right now is going to sound like complete garbage.

[2010 cvx 12s? new, cheap. NY]

But if you're set on the CVX, PM me. I've got a 2010 dual 4 model practically brand new.

[2010 cvx 12s? new, cheap. NY]

I used to work at best buy and i got my 12" CVX's at cost pretty much. 105 plus shipping. He's asking too much.

Obsidian 12's would be cheaper brand new @ MSRP. and i would much prefer one of those to a CVX. Mainly due to the fact that you can get recones for the obsidians.

[Daily Deal Thursday 8/2 - AERIAL7 TANK Soldier Headphones w/ Free Shipping!]

I got the product and did a little review. I can't say my review is very valuable though. I only tested them with some music on my phone and a buddies phone. I still have yet to try them with on my laptop.

I talked with IbleedMusick to see what he thought of his. we both had a pretty similar experience with them, but he actually had an amplifier for his. He told me they came alive when amplified.

[How much could I sell my system for?]

i'm sure you could rip off some idiot for more lol. just type KICKER!!!!! OMG KICKER!!! LOUD BROken WINDSHIELD LOLOL LOUD KICKER!!!!!!

But dassss mean Yu Yu..

^moral fag

[How much could I sell my system for?]

tree fiddy.

[SPL and SQ box.. Together?]

No clipping in here, when i want listen to jazz or r&b I go green light and I don't have to much over powering bass for that type of music and when I want deep hard hit bass I go red with no clipping or distortion and it works for me.

Lol you've essentially got a bass knob with limited control.

[Sundown SA-8 x8]

only two 3100's? good luck...

[square port]

I think it's gonna be hard to tune that low with proper port area if you're porting through the deck. but yeah 33-35 should be good

[about to order 2 obsidian audio 12s...any objections?]

great sub choice. getting ready to order 6 obsidian 18's myself

only 6? lol weaksauce

[IS my music clipping?]

fyi, red isnt clipping in audacity, it just means the wave is either 0db or over. even when you do "show clipping" it really only shows where the wave spikes to over 0db. you can make a clean generated 50hz wave in audacity, and put the amplitude to 1 (amplitude of 1 = 0db in audacity) and it will be solid red.

better yet, generate a saw tooth or square wave with the generator and the show clipping on.

edit: one way to do it is zoom in REALLY close in audacity until you can see the actually wave forms crests and troughs. do this in the heavy bass lines and check to see if everything is rounded or jagged/squarish.

I had no idea.. hmm. i'll keep this in mind

[about to order 2 obsidian audio 12s...any objections?]

try it both ways and see which you like better

[My T-line and halfa$$ explination for those who were asking about it.]

like 50% of rated maybe. it's like freeairing them

[about to order 2 obsidian audio 12s...any objections?]

A bit tight.. best of luck.

not really. 1.75 per sub is fine.

and OP, excellent sub choice. they'll probably beg for more power though

[Sub Box Design Help Fi Q12]

Your port should be 14.5 high

you might want to add a little bracing in there as well

[Sub Box Design Help Fi Q12]

welcome to this hurr forumm

I like your first design port area wise, depending on what kind of power you're using i'd do port area around 13-14 per cube

i'd probably tune to the upper end of their suggestion 32-33 hz

with trucks it's probably better to have sub and port firing up or sub up, port to the side.

[What should i have in my Nissan Primera P11 - 144?]

I don't like the L3 line personally, i'm not sure why kicker made it or why everyone is in love with it.

[My T-line and halfa$$ explination for those who were asking about it.]

I swear i've seen that program before.. i could just never figure out how the hell to use it. can you lead me in the right direction?

[Head unit works only on battery]

The only thing that should really change (that i can think of) is the voltage going from resting to charging. maybe it has something to do with that.

[Too small for her hole?]

Lol really dude? it's like 1200 watts. I've been running basically unfused for a year no problems. a lot of people do it. hell, yuyang jin ran 14k unfused. 4 awg can handle 1200 watts just fine, especially with such a short run.
