MikkerBabz Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hello! So. This is my first post here. Im looking in to upgrading my setup. I live in Denmark, and don't have that many choices as in the states. My budget is around 917usd (5000DKK) just for the sub/amp And for exactly that amount, i can get the Level 3 12" and the 1.2k. (For the same price as the level 3, i could only get the Sundown E 12 v2 or the DD1512. - I could be wrong? but looking at specs, it's not a hard choice) Would the level 3 and the 1.2k be a good match? Or would the level 4 be a better choice? The lvl 4 would mean adding another 110usd to the budget. That isnt that big of a dealbreaker. But i'd rather save them for the rest of the setup.

Agreene Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 well if you want more out of the 1.2k yes the level 4 would do better you can always turn down the gain on the 1.2k with the level 3, welcome to the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Running a single Level 3 12 on a 1.2k at 1 ohm will be perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikkerBabz Posted December 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks guys! Gotta wait untill January, before the cash is there. Gonna be a long wait The electric side is coming along. My pug 206 diesel has a stock 150a alt, 1/0 gauge front to back, and doing the big 3 soon. (AGM battery is also on the to-do list... with many other things ) Specs for the level 3 says 1.5cuft ported, that is after displacement right? - What is the woofer displacement, and how much port area is optimal? (The pug 206 has a pretty small-ish boot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The pug 206 has a pretty small-ish boot) I assume the 1.5 is after displacements, the level 3 12" displaces .16 cubes. You could go with the usual 12-16 square inches of port per cube or try to optimize a port based on xmax of the driver.

MikkerBabz Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks guys! @Shanesauce Oh, yeah... overlooked that in the specs, but thanks I've just downloaded Torres box calc, and can't really figure it out. If i put in numbers for a box thats 50 liters gross, and 4.5 woofer displacement, no matter how insane numbers i give the port, the net result never changes from 46.5? and if i change it to inches/cuft, gross can only be whole cuft, not like 1.5 or 1.65 and net only changes if i put in woofer displacement. If anyone would help me out with a box design, i would be very thankfull. H - 14.96 / 38cm L - Not more than 38ish (hopefully not THAT long) D - 12.5 / 32cm @32-33ish Slot port would be cheapest (i think?), but aero port designs are also welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
