brett24b Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 i have two 12 in dc audio level 5 subs.I am looking to get a new box. the box that i am using now is made for some type x, and i think its tuned to 42hz maybe. well i need a little help with box idea. been getting told since i have a hatch back i should do subs facing roof and port out the back. but i want to keep me car out of the wall class so no wall. and i need to keep my back seats. so i have to stay below the back window. so that only leaves me a little big of room. i am not the best with box idea or this kinda of info so i got the size of my trunk and room i have to work with. any kinda info would be great. i took it to a bass show and i did 143.2 db. would building a new box be the way to go? was told i could have a 150 db set up if i get it done right. thanks for everyone time hope to hear back fast. height =17 inches side to side 39 inches. wire hook ups will have to go in the back of box no room for side depth i can do 16 in. so do i have room for 1.5ft for each sub? my ride 2006 vw GTI stock alternator 1 yellow top optima cd=player alpine cd 9886 2 alpine v-power 2k 2 12in dc audlo level 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanKanarr Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) You should give the dimensions of your current box so that somebody can figure out if you could really improve your box design.

Bump4life Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 youd prolly be better off running only one of those amps until you get electrical. 2k is pushing it too with stock electrical. How can you not work for a few years?

brett24b Posted May 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 had a kidney transplant in 2008 and they wont let me go back for 5 years. hmm should i unhook a sub? then cuz them amps wont run at 1 ohm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump4life Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 im sorry to hear that. but pretty much your voltage drop is probably crazy. so id prolly run 1 sub 1 amp then add other 2 later.
