carshateme Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Okay, I'm going to be purchasing 2 level 4 12" DC subwoofers to replace my 4 10" ALUM10N Audiobahns. What I would like to know is if a 2000 RMS Hifonic amplifier would the trick for both these subs and if the box (Shown below) is a good fit for the DC subs. ( I will be putting "pillow stuffing" in the box to increase the bass ) The box is tuned at 32hz, has a cubic volume of 3.018. Dimensions of the box will be 30 x 15 x 19. Port dimensions will be 3 x 13.5 x 21. I don't know if I tuned it correctly, for I just recently learned that I've been doing all my ports on the boxes wrong...and I now have to contact everyone I made boxes for to redo them... So if anyone could tell me if this box is alright for these subs and what I plan to do with the box is okay, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much. =D Quote New build coming soon.

CJ18 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Everything looks good to me. Just make sure that when you turn the port into each chamber, you need to cut the port in half and it will become 1.5" off the back wall. Also make sure you put some sort of splitter in the middle of the port to direct the air from each chamber into the main port. Quote

TRTC360 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 if you're gonna run hifonics go with the Brutus, i'd prefer the BRZ2400 just because I always like to have a little wiggle room with power.

FroznBeavrBALLs Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) is that 3 cubic feet before or after displacement? if its after then that will work. and i think the port is tuned wrong. i just tuned a box that is the same layout as the one u did to the same frequency 32hz. and my port is 3 x 15 x 34. also for the amp... what type of hifonics is it? some do rated and some dont. all of yall are ninjas. haha. I would do the DC 2K... but thats just me... i like my equipment to match. ha Edited December 2, 2011 by FroznBeavrBALLs Quote 2 DC 12" lvl 4s 1 DC 1.2k XS Power S3400 big 3 Alll KNU wire Pioneer HU cheapo Legacy coaxes (just for now) http://www.stevemead...n-sentra-build/
TRTC360 Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 what series is the hifonics Hifonics HIF2000D that amp won't do rated power, it'll probably do 1500rms at most, get the BRZ2400.1 Quote '93 Firebird Formula V8 H/U- Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X395 Mids/Highs Amp- Hifonics ZXI80.4 Wiring-KNU RCA's, Speaker Wire, And Two Runs Of Trystar 1/0 G34 Red Top and a 180amp Ford Alternator www.youtube.com/TRTC360
bass_stalker Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 i dont think the hifi series does rated power, might wanna look into another amp Quote JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

Can you be more specific, lol, sorry I'm a bit of a blonde. What I'm percieving is that you are saying that the port is going to be 1.5" away from the back wall? Which will increase the center ports?

The 3 Cubic is measured after displacement of the sub and the port. And I'd prefer an under powered sub over an over powered sub...I tend to abuse my subwoofers. I would buy the level 5 or XL but I'm on a budget =( The level 4s are costing me $624. Edited December 2, 2011 by carshateme Quote New build coming soon.
