99fullsizechevy Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 My brother just turned 16 and got his license this week, he has a 1998 firebird ram air car (rare factory v6 ram air I might add) that is getting painted right now. He always wanted a system ever since I got my first one so for his bday I bought him a jl j2 500.1 which does 500rms at 2ohm and a alpine deck. Now as you all know a firebird/Camaro has limited space in the hatch so the next thing I'm doing for his bday is building a simple box to slide down in the hatch just until he decides to upgrade and then we will go all out (after he is a little better behind the wheel) So after the back story here is my delima, I have around 2.5-3 cubes to play with should I go 2 10s ported or 2 12s sealed? I've been leaning towards the 10s where as I havnt done any work with small woofer and I think ported would sound better in the hatch.. Opinions? Subs will b skar vvx so we can add power a little later Quote Laying frame soon.. System has to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 If your looking for something cheap for a meantime type deal just to get some bass, before going bigger and fully custom they do make a box to fit the cars They are not all too bad for being prefab boxes. It would be something to get him by on the cheap. This box is for 10s http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM2613202402P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1 This box is for 12s http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM2613202502P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM2613202502 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroupe79 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I would go 10s myself..so they have optimum space instead of 12s that might be iffy on space...plus I like the vvx10s...they look better than the 12s to me at least Quote http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99fullsizechevy Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Okay little clarification, the box will be a simple rectangle box as would any prefab would be, not buying a fancy fit one or anything I will build one to spec that will not be an issue whee as I already know what I'm building.. The one thing I can't decide on is 2 10s ported or 2 12s sealed Quote Laying frame soon.. System has to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
