Krakin Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 If you have a lot of room go ported, if you don't have much try sealed. If you have a manual with the subs they should have recommendations on what boxes you should make.

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

_94fleet Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 the reason i ask is when i did try to do some research everybody says what mtx says suck. like 1.7 ported. but they never said what works. just that they are picky subs with the enclosure.

sbg Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I have ran a set of the 9500 15s for a few years. But only ran them in pre fab box. I got to say for the $$ I spent on them they kinda sucked. I ran a 2k rms cerwin vega stroker on them. I had that setup in a blazer and 05 gmc sierra and in both it was just ok. They may have been a lot louder in a custom box, but I just never got around to tryin a new box out. I had some friends that ran system's that IMO should have never even been on my systems level, but was as loud or louder then my 9500s, one guy had 2 w3s 12s on a T.M.A 500 rms amp in his blazer and was just as loud! So in saying that if I was u I would go with a port box in the low hz 30s and take a look at mtx specs if u can find them, u may have better luck with them then me. 01 focus se 110 amp alt Big 3 sky high and stinger hpm ofc 1/0 Super start platinum AGM (starting) 2 runs of 1/0 Execution audio front to back Kenwood double DIN DDx271 A pillars- orion 4" super tweeter and 2-1" alpines.

Krakin Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I would wait for some more people to chime in tomorrow. 1.75 cubes seems to be what is recommended for your subs, 3.5 together. Edit: I would also say low 30's like 32-35hz Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

knowledge Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 mtx 9500 15's, 4.5 cubes ported with a kicker 2500 at .5 ohms stock electrical. they will get loud in a correct box. i say use what u have and do the best with it and go from there. REFF'SMy linkEBAYhttp://feedback.ebay...ck&myworld=trueI love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Moore Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 9500 do not suck at all long as you can power them right and custom box. A friend of mine had them in his charger they were the loudest deepest 12s I had ever heard! Shook my door and windows whenever he rode by He had 2 12s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
