NateTC Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi. I'm just starting out with car subs and amps and etc. I drive a '90 Jeep Cherokee and I got a cheap 400w amp and a cheap 12" 500w sub from Walmart, the brand is "Dual". My dad was telling me that he knows a guy selling two 12" Volfenhag subs and a 2050w Volfenhag amp for $300 and I'm thinking about doing it. It'd definitely be an upgrade but am I better off to buy new or take him up on the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 that amp outputs not even 300rms. heres a better system, for $350. http://www.audioque.com/AQ750-Amplifier_p_46.html http://www.audioque.com/Street-Duty-SDC25-15-Subwoofer_p_12.html or save $20 and get the 12 http://www.audioque.com/Street-Duty-SDC25-12-Subwoofer_p_11.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateTC Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Cool, thanks. How difficult would it be to make a box for that? And any suggestions as to where to mount the amp? Right now it's just kind of sliding around in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 haha there you go, problem solved. you can mount the amp to the box no problem. just make sure you brace the box a little bit so the mdf wood doesnt flex/vibrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateTC Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Alright. When I got all the stuff for it I just bought a premade 12" Scosche box also. But they don't sell 15's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they don't sell 15's. do not put any woofer in a box that you can buy at best buy or one that is premade. they are terribly designed (the ported ones specifically are tuned very high and dont have much port area and are often times small) and the sealed ones are very often too small as well to accommodate 99% of the woofers on the market. custom built and designed boxes are the only way to go.

It's fully enclosed with 2.25 or 2.5 cubic feet. I forget the exact number. What would be ideal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be ideal? audioque subwoofers are not meant to be put in a sealed box. do not skimp out on a box because it will determine how loud and how the sub will play and sound.
