help with some dc audio lvl 5's


Recommended Posts

so i looking for a little help here. i got two 12'in dc audio level 5's last year. i am running two alpine v-power 2k one on each sub. i have them in a box that was made for 2 12 in alpine type x, think its tuned around 42hz not sure the size of it. well here's the deal sometimes on some song i be bumping them and it sounds just fine then there some song songs like its cutting out or something. i know the box is not the right size and not the right tune. i been told it could be to low of a alternator or it could be box, i not sure. but i ran into some health crap(if anyone wants to know i willing to tell them) i am low on cash so maybe any idea or cheap good site. i am not asking for for handouts just looking for idea for new box for my car. not sure how the box should be. been told do box with port on the side been told to do subs facing up port facing to the back. any idea? if u want to know anything person or what health problems i have ask in an email or mess. thanks hope i get some help. was told everyone here is price nice and will help out.

2006 vw gti 2.0 turbo

alternator (stock 90amps)

You play bigpimpin and decaf? If it sounds like its bottoming out it probably is. Their songs are mostly on the high 20s low 30hz range, way to low most of the time for a box tuned in the 40s
