97SSBlazer Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Im going to run 5 12's in my 2001 Impala. I'm sticking with alpines design due to the fact that I will be slightly over powering them and im out of room I would proablly be better using 4 but I have already done (4) 12's in 2 differnet Impalas this year. How do you think it will sound? the (4) in my buddy's impala get it pretty good and he is only giving them ~440 RMS each. I have ~660 to give them each Quote lower tuning is just hard. I was surprised how loud 145 sounds at 35hz, and how quiet 145 sounds at 50hz. -= 2005 Tahoe LT =-Head unit: Pioneer AVH-X5500BHSSource: iPad Mini in dash Subs: 2 T1 12's Sub Amp: T1500-1bdCPWire: Rockford Fosgate 1/0 awgSignal Cable: MonsterFronts:Stock Bose for now:)Rears: Stock Bose for now:)MIds/High amp: Stock Bose for now:) 2005 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172529-2005-tahoe-my-17th-vehicle/ 2001 Monte Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/160030-2001-monte-carlo-my-16th-car-lol/page-2#entry25309381997 Tahoe Build Log: http://www.stevemead...oe-6-15-rf-15s/2001 Impala Build Log: http://www.stevemead...katzkin-inside/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubs_fan0718 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Sounds interesting i just want to know how you fit everything back there. I will barely fit 2 12's the box, amps, and batteries in my Impala trunk. Unless the ones made b4 06 had a bigger trunk?

Quote c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 do you think you'll have to build it inside the trunk? I don't know how you'll get a box with enough surface for 5 12s through the opening... But I'm all in. btw what's the outer dimensions of the box with the Fi 18? I wanna know how how big I *can* squeeze through the opening for my'03 build. I was gonna mock up a fake box out of cardboard but I don't have cardboard that big. Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild.
