PUNKYOU007 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 12" kicker L7 with a max of 2 cubic feet BEFORE any displacement. Amp is a Memphis MCD1000. Main question is should I just stick with a sealed box for this one or a small ported box? If I go ported how much area? I was thinking like 16sqin per cube and tune mid 30s...34-36hz. I been messing with Torres calc and maybe im retarded but I cant seem to get the right amount of port and get the tuning I want. Any help? Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C. Arson d(-__-)b beer sucks...but i can bring some jose cuervo. Only problem is that it makes me horny and gives me the rams. So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranny Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) tell your friend if he even wants to think about getting decently loud, then he has to utilize a little more than 1/20th of his cargo space.

wmrcs Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 tell your friend if he even wants to think about getting decently loud, then he has to utilize a little more than 1/20th of his cargo space. and that he will eventually want more.

Kingcuong5o4 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 L7 in sealed box can handle more than in a ported box but in a ported box it takes a lot less power to sound louder. My kicker manual says for a 12 inch in sealed 750rms and for ported it 500rms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUNKYOU007 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 He travels a lot and really does not want to sacrifice much of his cargo space. Hes not looking to meter the thing or do big things he just wants more than the stock Bose sub put outs. I guess I will try a sealed box. Did anyone try the numbers in Torres calc? I cant get my tuning down low enough. Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C. Arson d(-__-)b beer sucks...but i can bring some jose cuervo.
