soundstream15 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 im running 3k to a pair so you should be fine. but your not me and im not you. do you have gains set correctly?
Pierce Barrett Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 6 cubes for 2 12's? why?! thats gigantic! literally needs to be half that size. and thats not a maybe. the woofers wont see 2k. probably like 1500rms, if that even. voltage drop + box rise = never getting rated power out of the amp. Sundown calls for 2.5 spec for a SA 12 so the box designer at my work is taking a gamble to see how it sounds and if it sounds like shit we're going to build a 5 cube box uhh where did you see that? just took this off the site 5 seconds ago. Yeah I know I got my numbers mixed up I was thinking of the 15's and not the 12's noob mistake 2006 Ford F150 4.6 3v (2) Digital Deisgns 3515's D4 Digital Designs M3B w/ Toolmaker Dual Inputs Mike Singer Built 340 Amp Alternator Arc Audio KS 300.4 *mids and highs to come soon* Alpine 148BT And tons of 0 AWG
Pierce Barrett Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Posted July 8, 2013 The goal is SPL for sure but I do want it to sound good at the same time BUT I have a horrible car to try and get loud.. an 06 F150 2006 Ford F150 4.6 3v (2) Digital Deisgns 3515's D4 Digital Designs M3B w/ Toolmaker Dual Inputs Mike Singer Built 340 Amp Alternator Arc Audio KS 300.4 *mids and highs to come soon* Alpine 148BT And tons of 0 AWG
soundstream15 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 5 cubes should be the most for those woofers. just build a new one if possible
purplesyrup Posted July 8, 2013 Report Posted July 8, 2013 As long as the port velocity is proper you are just fine running a larger box with too much power. The absolute best single 12 inch box I have used was 3.25 for 1 12.

I trust the guy lol I work with him at a car audio shop I'm just the shop boy/radio installer at this point but he can defiantly build a badass box that slams I trust him but I don't want to have to wait for another box 2006 Ford F150 4.6 3v (2) Digital Deisgns 3515's D4 Digital Designs M3B w/ Toolmaker Dual Inputs Mike Singer Built 340 Amp Alternator Arc Audio KS 300.4 *mids and highs to come soon* Alpine 148BT And tons of 0 AWG
