Chris Hammer Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 AQ2200 is too much for that....and be careful on your AQ1200...if you are wiring it to get full 1200watts you need to make sure you watch it or its gonna get stinky pretty fast. 3 cubes seems big to me... Right now I'm at 1.66 tuned 33hz and it sounds pretty damn good and even from 30 to 60. By ear it peaks about 40hz if I do a sweep 30-50. I'm building a new box that I'm planning on giving to whoever buys my SA-12. Going to be 2ft cubed tuned at 30 or 32....but it should give a little more of a peak low end wise than the 1.6cubed box. 3 seems really big to me though. 1 Quote MY BUILD *****http://tinyurl.com/gmcbuild***** Vehicles 2005 GMC Canyon CB1000r - Currently where any future funds are going.

It's 3 cubes for a pair. 1100 watts each isn't too much, and the won't get stinky if he sets his gains right. They have no problem taking that much (clean) power Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundstream15 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 and why would my subs get stinky on my aq1200? only if im clipping the fuck out of them and im not, they have yet to get warm on me. only time they get warm is from it being hot out and the sun beating on my trunk but that is normal with any system. and no 3 cubes is not small at all, the box im getting is 3.73 cu feet tuned at 34 with 6inc areoport and the guy from sundown said that is a perfect box..

Crandis16 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 sundown recommends 1.5-2ft^3 net volume. I mean this might work for a 15 (I think 2-3ft^3 net volume) but this is unnecessary for a single 12. Just mess around on torres calculator until you can get the net volume in the right range, as well as the frequency that you want.

It's for a PAIR of sa-12s lol I clearly missed that, In that case it seems like just enough net volume the title threw me off, SA-12 was singular and not plural but I should have clicked on that link Quote My Red zx2 Build Log My Black zx2 Build Log My Red zx2 UBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJohnson Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Vvx 12's are in 4.4 net tuned 27hz sounds good I love the lows I'm dropping sa-12's into it as soon as they arrive in the mail. I shoot for 2 cubes per sub or a tiny bit more Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
