pa-pa-platypus Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 sealed boxes giving "deeper" base is a myth.. and what amp do you plan to run them off of? Quote This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprkn_ranger Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Lol...can I haz sum?? What kind of car are you puting them in? You probably be happier with a ported box unless you don't have the room for the extra space. And yea what kind of amp?

MAH3 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 There going in either an old school regal or caprice so room isnt a issue. As far as the amps I don't know that many brands that run the .5 ohm and I know there r tons of 1 ohm amps. Do u guys have any suggestions on amps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that does about 3500W, like the audioque 3500. If the amp is cheaper then 350 dollar it's not going to do 3000W except if going second hand. I doubt you want to do electrical upgrades(putting in a HO alt and a big battery in the back) so go for 2 12's in a PROPER ported box and use a 1500W amp.
