someone said problems with my mid speakers..trust me those rcf speakers are extremely loud. car audio speaker wouldnt sound as loud

in my country we use alot of pro audio for our mids such as rcf.. bnc.. bemya.. faital pro..etc because we can play music extremely loud anywhere

Separate boxes arent good, put them in a shared airspace box with enough port area, which is more then 30sq inches per subwoofer.

The mids are useless for midbass unless you have them in a ported enclosure in your doors.

Because the midrange is so overpowering youll need a lot of midbass to balance it out, which isn't possible without porting the pro audio speakers. They are designed to work in ported enclosures.

You havent specified any equipment you have and didnt list your goals, nor posted pictures of what you have. It's harding understanding what you need.

You have the speakers mounted outside the car? Does that mean you want the same with the bass? So loud outside the vehicle, it's not for your own incar sound experience?

Also answering questions that have been asked will help you out too.

the mids is perfect u know

its in compact reflect boxes and the midbass from those rcf are amazing

bass would be in trunk however i would like a box that would play the sundown louddd rather than jus low

processing done in 3 way network mode on my pioneer 80prs deck

current wise have a 140amp alt with 2 powersafe 92AH batteries and a stock battery upfront with the big 3 done

anyone willing to design a box to play very loud but yet get lows from it ?

ok guys got 2 12" sundown sa12 and honestly very dissapointed

had it on a orion 1200D and honestly my 2 12" t3 audio t600 subs played alot louder

im not a big big fan of lows however looking for a sub that would excel from 35hz + playing note in the 40hz extremely well

so hence i want to able to get lows however i want it to be loudd

my mids is not car audio mids. i use pro audio mids consisting of 2 10" RCF midbass with 2 1" compression drivers which are in external boxes to play outside the car

so what is the best sub sundown have to offer me that would be able to play high notes very well and yet i can get lows ?
