2 15 mayhem box design help accepting all suggestions


Recommended Posts

I have a 1992 Mazda 323 that I have been piecing together for the last few months. I have been through a few prefab enclosures but I cannot determine what kind of final design I want. I am taking all advice and opinions.

I have 2 15" Mayhem's and 2 Sundown SAZ 3000D. I plan on running 1 amp to 1 sub at .5 ohms unless I will benefit from strapping (never done it before)

don't mind the pics too much. I just wanted to give everybody an idea of what I'm working with.

Other key points in the build are:

2 alternators totaling 250 amps

2 kinetik 2400's

2 runs of 0 gauge.

and of course a line driver.

I am wanting to go more for the spl side. with all paneling and trim put in, my car peaked at 55hz doing a 144.8 off of both subs and 1 amp.

My current ideas are:

1. keep subs in hatch and retain normal use of car (very hard to do. leaves approx 6 cubes total volume for box.)

2. Build a wall

3. custom fit a box from b pillar to back hatch staying at the window line. (leaning towards this)

I also am trying to get specs or possibly find someone to build the enclosure.

I was going to do a wall if I bought 18in baskets and recones. (still looking for them, Ascendant audio isn't so good on returning emails and answering their phone...not bashing)

Would their really be a significant difference between walling and running a full spec box not walled?

Strapping is simply doubling the power at twice the impedance. So you'd see 6k @ 1 ohm. The bad, you risk blowing both amps instead of just one if you get gain-happy..
