monkeyleg Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Hey SMD, My dumb Ford Focus can't fit a 8 cubic feet box with room for more batteries and amps. I had a 15" and it took up alot of room. So I thought if I build it inside the trunk I could fit two 15" sealed off from the trunk. It's not going to work out. My question.... Should I go with two 12"s or three 10"? Yes I want loud or I would have stayed with one 15" Either Sundown Z or Fi Q Sealed off from the trunk subs and port into cabin. Using a DC 9K or 7.5k running at 4 ohm. No rush, just want some input from all you knowledgeables so I can start planning Thanksies Quote Google it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blownengine Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Three tens would have more cone area and motor force. And why would you only run at 4 ohms?

OrionStang Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Three tens with d1.4 voice coils could wire to .97ohms. Just saying. You want to be loud, why wire to 4 ohms? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melky Lebron Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Thats true. He should definitely go with 3 10" and wire it to .97 ohms.

monkeyleg Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Can't run at 1 ohm people, not enough power from the alternator. So run like 3k RMS at 4 ohm I can't do a wall because I built panels for the back doors and my middle seat is a console with two 10"s and an amp, way too much work and money to just scrap Wall in my next car for sure. so three 10"s?

OrionStang Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Well the money you waste trying to find 3k at 4ohms could go towards a new alt. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on. Someone correct me if im wrong but power is power. If you are making 2000 watts at 4 ohms or 2000 watts at 1 ohm wont you pull just about the same amount of power?

monkeyleg Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Cleaner power...less heat. Basically, more efficient, look at any amp's birthsheet...the efficiency is amazing at 4 ohms. I have a Mechman 200, can't fit a bigger one, and three Kinetik 1400's. Want to add 2 more. I don't mind paying for a 7.5k, should never have the need to upgrade an amp Edited August 27, 2011 by monkeyleg Quote Google it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
