Level 3 12" and 1.2k


Recommended Posts

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.

Thanks guys!

Gotta wait untill January, before the cash is there. Gonna be a long wait :P

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 :P)

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)

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.

@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 :)
