Help Please??? (New Build In The Works)


Recommended Posts

So for starters, its a 99' Honda Civic DX Hatchback that currently has an Alpine head unit, and stock speakers that have been replaced by Kenwoods (all in the current holes nothing else has been added). Currently, the build idea is put a single Alpine Type R 15 subwoofer with an amplifier to fit it, and then sound deadening the whole car, also planning on using the Big 3 as well after everything is settled.

(Dimensions of the trunk coming later)

(Not trying to win any SPL drags, just have a nice sounding car that bumps.)

[The Budget currently is under $1000]

Now, onto the interesting part/questions.

  • For the maximum amount of SPL a single 15, or two 12's?
  • Which direction of the port and sub(s)?
  • What brand of Sub/Amp would you recommend or personal favorite?
  • Would you use a capacitor or go with a second battery if any?
  • What type of box would you build?
  • And other then using MDF then fiberglassing it, would you do anything other then that?

[feel free to post responses of what you would do personally, no opinions will be shot down, and all will be carefully looked over and thought about.,]

So on the fact of sounding like a total noob about everything, some help would be great. Please and thank you, and much love and help as well.

Would you use a capacitor or go with a second battery if any?

There have been a few big threads on this I'll try to find a few for you to read through.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

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.

If you would do that for me, that would be great, I was trying to find some myself and could not for the life of me find any.

single 15, something with good motorforce and xmax. check craigslist and for sale threads on this forum for a good deal. 1-2krms amp. a single 15 on 1k rms can do over 140bd easily in the right box over 2k rms and you should be able to break 145db with the right box. a small budget with hopes of being loud means lots of box testing.

singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.
