The subs are 1800w rms each but I am runing them on a SPL FX1-5500D running at 2 Ohms suposed to be getting 1200 watts rms each but doubting that. Already bought almost installed

The subs are Blaupunkt VPW 460 The Subs have very little info online but this is what I found

Frequency response Hz 20 - 200 Hz
Impedance 2 x 2 Ohm
Cone material Carbon/fibreglass

Hole circle 452.0 mm

now to the max measurements

I have the box calculator but I am struggling to work out all these imperial units and things I converted them but still doesn't help never deal with inches apart from speaker size thanks all help will be appreciated and I can build things but when working out frequency and trying to picture size and look with ports and things its beyond me and again will be a huge help so please reply

These subs box specs according to the manufacturer are:

60 liters of net volume, two 10cm diameter, 80cm length aero ports that's for one sub. It will produce a tuning of about 30Hz.

Seem awfully small net volume for a 18" and your tuning is rather high compared to their specs... verify this specs before proceeding.

I've got like 7 cubic feet I didn't think at was small and I've ran these subs before and low low frequncys don't agree with them they get pretty hot
