blakgtp Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have a maximum of 3.7-4.0 cubes net to use. Will be firing forward sealed off from trunk (because I hate trunk rattle but also the box will be too big to allow much air to pass by if I fire back/side). My goal is to be as loud as possible at the 26-35hz region. So pretty low, I play a lot of decaf and love the lows. Power is 3-3.5k watts. So the question is which woofer is best suited for my specific needs? I know the sundown x-10's are designed to dominate the lows but there is considerably less cone area than 2 12's. I would do two x-12's but I don't have anywhere close to enough room for that. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john253a Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 What amp Why not 3 x-10 You say net for you volume But how did you come up with that My option is mock up each box on Torres and see what will fit better And that would be my choise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakgtp Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 The amp is a digital designs m3b. The net volume I came up with was based off of some experimenting with torres. My max dimensions are 30"w 28"d 14"h. Also far as what fits better.. they both fit except with the 10's I could use an aero but with the 12's I wouldn't have enough room for an aero. I don't mind doing a slot port though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakgtp Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 2 x10s, 4th order I'm not doing a 4th order...yet. Just want to do ported for now. Also, Does anyone know the recommend port area for 2 x-10's? One local box builder told me to use a 6" aero, then I was reading a thread where someone stated minimum 70 sq in of port for these subs? I know there is no magic number but figured there should be a general guideline. (typical is 12-16sq in per foot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john253a Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 75sq" at 30hz or 85@35hz For 2 x-10 Or 105@30hz or 120@35hz For 2 x-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowfkncar Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 The zv.3's will be much louder with the power you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john253a Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 that's a lot of port. lol seems almost ridiculous Wait for a few more to chime in as well But you need to remember you You have 30mm Xmas one way at 70%bl (Mech clearance is 50mm) And your over powering them as well Compared to 12mm in the E range There is a lot more that goes into port area then the rule of thumb 12-16 sq" per ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
