samslowp1s Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 OK, kind of a weird one but here goes. I currently am running 2 12 inch Rockford P1's in a ported prefab box. The box sucks, so I plan on building a new one this week. The box I am building will be an exact fit for my trunk and will give each sub about 2.5 cubes of space. Tuned at 35-36Hz. My question is will those Level 4's like this box and tuning? It will be a couple months before I get to order my DC gear so i will be using this time to "find the sweet spot" for my car with my not-so-powerful P1's.

kirill007 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Sounds a little too big.....you want bout 1.5 per sub Why would you think that?(1.5 is quite low..) He hasn't gave any specifications except airspace. How much port area are you gonna use? How much power are you going to use? Quote Thinking is the root of all problems...

I am probably going to be using a DC 2K to power them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samslowp1s Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 For a 12 2.5 cubes is kinda big but yea your right need more info Sorry, I just used the box recommendation on rockfords site for the P1's, and for their "Power Box" they said give each one 2.1 cubes. I just went a little bigger on size because I plan to brace the Hellout of it. Is the 2.1 still big for the DCs? In torres calc, it says I will have 16.71 per foot. Is that OK, too much, too little?

I am probably going to be using a DC 2K to power them. 1.8 cubes(each and it has to be net volume) with about 32sq inches of port each. So 3.6cubes(NET not gross volume) and 60-64sq inches total. But could you state your goals so i can make it more accurate for your goals. What kind of music do you listen to? How do you want it to sound like? Quote Thinking is the root of all problems...

Well, of course I listen to rap(Jeezy, Ying Yang, anyone with a nice low beat to it). Some rock and some old R and B. I am looking for something that will sound nice and plays pretty low. I would love to in the 140-145 range with the DC's(I know I am not going to get that with my current setup. If I chose to fire forward and seal off, would I need more port for them?
