so i've been guided towards some SA 12's for my next build.
but i had some questions about them before i get them.
anyone know when the v.2 SA-12's will be coming out?
and also what size box(in cubic feet) would 2 SA-12's get loudest in? (ill be using an 8" aeroport if that helps)
-
what would you guys consider a good size box in cubic feet for 2 Sundown SA-12?
-
I still say 12's.
Does your back seat fold down? If so, what are the dimensions of the opening?
13"H x 28" W.
tiny opening
-

yeah they love, lol brb.
ill go measure
-
Did you account for port displacement. By your dim's, it looks like a trunk, so do 12's.
yeah i did, aeroport, so its much less displacement than a slot port.
-
You could probably get the 15s to fit in the proper airspace if you are careful with your box design, but it would be easier to just do the 12s.
What vehicle is this going in?
trunk of a 2002 camry. i mean i could just take up the entire trunk space and get a 10^3 foot box but i still want a little room for groceries in college lol

Put a sundown Z 18 and call it a day
clearly irrelevant ._."

alright so i'm just doing some more pre-planning and was still deciding on my route to take
im goign to be running a Crescendo bc2000d with proper electrical(no worries about that)
but my max dimensions are 42w x 17h x 21d (all in inches of course)
so i calculated and thats roughly 7feet^3.
i kind of have my heart set on some Sundown SA's so i didnt some figuring and if i put some 15's in there, thats about 6.7feet^3.
do you think that's enough air for some 15's to breath or should i just stick with some 12's and make the box a tad bit smaller to accommodate them?

Why kinetik batteries Tim?
IMO i think they are priced fairer, they are very powerful batteries and have great simple designs
-
-
well i currently have two 12" type R's. i had a 4.5feet^3 box (after all the displacements)
with a 6" pvc pipe in the middle btween the subs and off an alpine MRP-M1000.
had all my doors flexing and rear view mirror fall off numerous times.
-
i like Kinetik batteries, just saying.
well you could use 8awg for the power and ground on that RF amp
-
12awg speaker wire is fine for that application.
-
wanting to trade my 2 type R's. looking to explore more into the world of subs.
looking for maybe Sundown SA's or DC Level 2's?
offers please:)
-
those Kicker L series love GIANT ports.
i would even dare to say go with a 6" aeroport or a 4"wide slot port.
-
they'll sound great. i know kicker does make decent subs and RF makes great amps.
those L5's will love the extra CLEAN power. just don't clip and you can run those all day long.

trade for 2 Alpine Type R 12's?

Crescendo comes in Wednesday

yeah, i do have some knowledge of electrical myself.
and tbh i knew that since the 4awg run was so short it wouldnt have mattered.
because legnth of wire has to my calculated in with the power your pushing to determine the size.
so with that said i just wanted to make sure.
thus from this thread i'm pretty much going to use a run of 4awg, fused after the distribution block
ESPECIALLY since i have found out the bc2k has NO built in fuses, which is a kinda dumbfuck decision IMO.
but it doesnt matter since fusing doesn't hurt. (unless its between your alternator and battery and you have no other runs of power between them, then ur dead on the side of the road LOL)
and since its a 0awg into a 350watts max pioneer 2 channel and a 1.1k rms bc2k, i know the 0awg would be fine. because it's not like im distributing a single 0awg into 4 different 0awg runs. it's kind of what a distribution block is for.
but after all this, ill just run the 4awg, and fuse it.
future plans, run 2 0awg from the front to back battery(fused on both ends) power wire from back battery to amps(fused in between) and it'll all be gucci.
thanks for all the input guys.
-
probably a 200 amp fuse.
so when i have my rear battery put in, ill have a 200amp fuse on both battery, & a 200amp fuse by the bc2k.
that sound right?
-
I have no idea about the size of the caps. No internal fuses that I'm aware of though.
awe i was hoping i could find out. maybe i'll just call tech support or something if im curious enough.
ahh oh well ill just slip a 100amp fuse right before the amp.
what size fuse would u suggest when i run it at full ~2100rms?
-
i mean ill be completely honest, i still have about 3feet of 0awg left that i could just use for the bc2k, fuse it and be done.
but i wanted to salvage that last piece so i could just replaced my distribution block with a fuse holder and than use that extra 0awg to connect to the back battery.
but than i would have to buy more 0awg from the battery to the amp anyways... so i think it was just me trying to be a cheap ass with this and just find a way to save wire.
but it'll have a chance of biting me in the ass anyways so i think ill just use my current 0awg and save up for some more later. as the upgrade continues on.
just fuse and use the 0 gauge ....and for the love of GOD why do kids like you insist on having shirtless pics as your avatar this isn't fuckin myspace its a car audio forum with 99.9% dudes
yeah i plan to do that.
well 1st off im logged in with facebook and its actually an entire pic of me on the beach because, you know, its summer and all.
so i couldnt really get to pic which part of the pic SMD chose as my avatar, believe me i hate those guys too. i would chose a neck up pic but SMD doesnt give me the liberty to crop/pic which part of the pic as my avatar.
my apologies lol.
-
btw, does anyone know if this has built in fuses and capacitor?
i think i read somewhere it has a built in cap but anyone know what size?
12s vs 15s in my case, suggestions?
in Subwoofers / Enclosures

so pretty much to spec than. do you know how they would perform ~2.5feet^3.
what would happen if i slapped them in 5feet^3 each?
