justin_garrett Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) OK so i bought 2 Dc lvl 2 12's and i want to know if the box for my old subs would be ok or if i should build a different one the one i have now is 5.38cuft with the sub displacement accounted for in torres box calc and the site says 1.25 each ported but i think i will probably be under powering since Dc subs are under rated and the amp i have is a vibe black box bass 5 rated at 1500rms at 2ohm and it is a mono block so any help would be appreciated thank you Edited April 16, 2012 by justin_garrett Quote 1998 neon R.I.P 137.5 db's Youtube videos http://www.youtube.c...tingarrett64067 2000 Eclipse Headunit = pioneer avh-p1400dvd Subwoofers = 2 DC audio lvl 2 12's Amp= Vibe bass 5 1500rms @ 2ohms Single run of 0awg power and ground wire ( Big 3 wire upgrade comeing soon ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getlocivic Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 box is a little big.. should be fine tho for awhile till you get another box made etc.. turn the amp down and stay within mechanical limits of the woofers bigger box means less power smaller box more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin_garrett Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 the ports are actually going to be 20in long for a tuning of 33hz but only 8in of the port is going to be in the box i did it like that so i could see how much cubes the subs where going to actually see here is the sketch up of it so about how many cubes do you recommend they will be ran off a 1500rms mono block amp set with a dd-1 Quote 1998 neon R.I.P 137.5 db's Youtube videos http://www.youtube.c...tingarrett64067 2000 Eclipse Headunit = pioneer avh-p1400dvd Subwoofers = 2 DC audio lvl 2 12's Amp= Vibe bass 5 1500rms @ 2ohms Single run of 0awg power and ground wire ( Big 3 wire upgrade comeing soon ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
