Power HX2 Ported Box

[Souldrop]

Hey all,

I will be powering a power hx2 12 off a T1000-BDCP. I was wondering if there were any suggestions as far as box size. Fosgate recommends 2.5 ft at 40Hz. The tuning seems a bit high to me...I was wondering if anyone had experience or better suggestions as what to do with these drivers. Thanks in advance.

You can port them down at 32-35 for good results as well. Those subs sound great and it's crazy because my Fosgate Power 15 requires the same space. Airspace from 2.0-2.5 cubes with whatever tune you desire will work very well.

Alright man sounds good! I was hoping you would chime in. Lol, the manual suggests anywhere from 1.75-4 ft cubed. I'll probaby try and keep it around 2.5 so I don't lose too much seat space

Loose seat space?

What vehicle are you putting it in?

A box on a seat muffles the sound.

Oh and I could have sworn I read some where that the 12 is suggested to be in a 2cuft box if ported but that it can work well in bigger or smaller? thought suggested tuning was around 33hz to.

Then again i'm just going by what i've read online. For that speaker and we all know the internet isnt 100%

I'm picking up a power hx2 12" Friday so I'll be watching this thread for your results.

It's going in an extended cab F-250 for the foreseeable future. My back seat is a bench seat that's able to be flipped up, so I was trying to figure out whether or not I was going to sacrifice the larger or the smaller section of the seat. Yeah as far as the driver, it seems I've read varying opinions as far as what size to build the enclosure. I actually have two of these, but am only going to run one until I can upgrade electrical some and afford a T2500 or equivalent. I have a feeling I will end up trying several different box setups over the next few months and seeing what's best for my truck, but I will definitely start with sierra's suggestion. It's a good mid-sized option from which to start building.

edit- It will probably be a little while until I get this done. I still have to recone the HX2's from sagging spiders...(wish me luck as I'm venturing to do it on my own)....I may start as early as next week if everything goes well.
