SnowDrifter Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Me and my buddy would like to get around to building a box for his 2 Kicker Comp c12s this weekend. So far he has one of them in a 1 cube or so prefab box, and another one waiting to be installed (I just got it for him for his birthday). They are both 4 ohm subs and will be wired in paralell to a bridged rockford fosgate t3002. We were thinking of a 4th order bandpass box with 1.5 cu.ft in 1 chamber tuned to 55hz with a 4 inch aeroport and the other chamber at 1.75 cubes. Does anyone think this is a good/bad box or think I should make some changes? My friend listens to mostly everything except for country. ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 D.Payne, thanks, but I already looked at Kicker's boxes and looked at the frequency response on winISD. I tried to design him something that would get as loud as possible given the space he has and the music he listens to. I was wondering if there were any changes or issues I need to be aware of with the box I designed. Or if it is so dismal that I need to rethink it all together. We would also be running above rms power to the subs and are trying to shoot for around 400w per sub. Anyone else? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammitch0 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I ran two Kicker 15" Comps @ 500RMS (RMS level) and they barely liked it, I wouldnt recommend 400 each for the 12's thats just asking for trouble also do ATLEAST 2cft per chamber.

Good to know about the about the power. As for chambers: There is only enough space to have 3.5 cubes between the two chambers. It is a 1986 bmw 318i and the limitation is that his parents want there to be some trunk space. Can I get away with keeping it on the small side? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDrifter Posted May 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Would a single 4 inch aeroport by precision port be enough or should I get 2 4" ports / one 6" port? ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
