robby512 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Im building a center console sub box for an f150 for a sundown e12. I will also have 3 e 12's in the back in a sealed box not enough room to port them. So my questions here is should I do the center console sub ported? and have the back 3 sealed I would have enough room to port the 1 center console sub. And would it sound bad to have one ported the rest sealed? They will all be running off one hifonics Brutus 1200 at 1 ohm so getting 300 watts each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEALTH808 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 seal them all. or just do your center ported. TEAM SUNDOWN HAWAIIHAWAIICARAUDIO.NET 150Db Club 160Db club in the future I see krakin as a threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby512 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 And the center console box will be seperate so you say it won't sound all kinds of weird if I port one and seal the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurfboy Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I don't know about you but I personal wouldn't run sealed & ported at the same time. I think it's odd to see something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrys95civic Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 would kill the ported sub since it would need less wattage to push it, only way you could do it is if you ran it on a separate amp Team Superior SPL Former Installer at Driven Sound & Security http://www.drivenss.com All kinds of forsale threads http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164247-amps-subs-and-misc/#entry2383262 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164430-polk-audio-sda6000-sound-bar/#entry2386634 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164279-3-michael-kors-watches/#entry2383983 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164549-more-items-from-storage/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/166967-dd-9518s-amps-kenwood-custom-explorer-dash/ If someone is feeling generous I'd love an original sig LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby512 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 even though the sundown e 12 is 300 watts rms and thats all i would be giving to all four subs 300 each rms? still a bad idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrys95civic Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Please don't be one of those ask the question, get the answer but since it's not what you want to hear so I'll do it anyways people. It's a bad idea and it doesn't matter what speaker so even if you name off 100 other speakers it's still a bad idea to run all of them off the same amp bro. You can do it but you will be pushing the ported sub harder than the other 3.

larrys95civic Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 switch it up to 8's and then you can port em all.
