bobobass Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 I think you should get a box custom made or build one yourself. Those prefab boxes tend to be tuned very high and almost never match the specs of any subwoofer you use with it. 2000 Subaru outback 2.5l Head Unit: Pioneer deh 4300ub front stage: tbd subwoofer: Stock Fi Q 18" amp: Audio que 1200d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strig1 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 do you think i could buy a box that would be good for it? or the only way to go is building one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKidwell Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 don't be a lazy ass and actually build it..that's the only way you'll get it to sound how you want it to. 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...

strig1 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Alright thanks, another question tho. If i were to get a kicker solo classic and build my own box for it would i need a different amp or would the DX 500 work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisiana Bass Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 The amp would work still mate, but idk the RMS of the Solo Classic. N8. No homo...unless you want there to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBryson Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) I personally would use a zx instead of the dx. More $ but a way better amp if you were wanting to stay with kicker.

ISO Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Alright thanks, another question tho. If i were to get a kicker solo classic and build my own box for it would i need a different amp or would the DX 500 work? Solo-CLassic: That amp should be fine on the Solo-Classic and that is the sub that I would buy in Kickers prefab box because it only has one box recommendation unless you want it smaller than what the manufacture recommends. CompVR; I you want the CompVR and can't build your own ported box then get Kickers prefab ported box because it will give you the best sound out of any of the prefab boxes out there. DX500.1 would be good on either sub. EDIT: I say use the ZX or IX amps too. Edited June 20, 2011 by ISO Isobaric - Refers to the practice of coupling two drivers together to make them act as one.
