naughtyca Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Play with build the sealed box like you want but I would hang on to the ported one something tells me after a day or 2 you will reinstall the ported box Yes im planning to hold on to it until a couple of months of playing in sealed, just need to find a sealed box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naughtyca Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 how much power do you have? Im doing 45 on 2 vvx 12s in a trunk im doing 1700 @1ohm for 2 vvx15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kr15 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 ^ Was your score sealed on dash? You should be louder then that, Im wondering how well of a box design you have. I think you could pretty easily do 143 on 1 15 ported. Depending on the box, 1 ported might be as small or slightly smaller then the 2 sealed. That way you save room and it puts less stress on your electrical to run 2ohm opposed to 1ohm. I was doing 142 on music in my trunk on 1 vvx 12, so its certainly viable to do 143 on 1 15 in a suv Team Flex Issues Low tuning > God 2011 CALI AS1 STATE CHAMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPINE408 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 You can tune a prefab and build it to spec for the subs prefabs suck even sealed ones one size does not fit all for subs Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
