Rudemaxxx Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Get a proper box I had no problems getting the pair of my buddies old SA-12s doing being rather loud from the trunk of my Cadillac in a 4th order bandpass ported thru the rear deck. Of coarse I was raping them with a Sundown SAZ-4500..... But they get loud regardless if you know what your doing with them. Stock alt, 2 batteries voltage drop to only 12.2ish at idle with a 5,000 watt amp.. and doing it with CCA wire! Damn dude. Wanna do my car? xP Quote Welcome to my sig My build on my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4: 2 Sundown SA 12's Sundown SAZ 1500d v3 Alpine CDE-HD148BT Hertz 165 Speakers Atrend Carbon Enclosure Stinger SPP925 Battery Sky High 2/0 & 1/0 Power Wire & Big 3 Legal 145.2 dB.

Stock alt, 2 batteries voltage drop to only 12.2ish at idle with a 5,000 watt amp.. and doing it with CCA wire! .youtube. Offcourse you have so little voltage drop, if you actually look at how much power the amp will actually make after taking the impedance curve (+ 50% duty cycle on music) into consideration and the amount of resistance the CCA wire gives you. Without measuring you don't know how much current the amp is using. As you probably already know, he can't have a frequency bandwidth starting at 35Hz reaching all the way up to 100-120Hz(just guessing haven't modeled those drivers yet ) and be loud at the same time without a lot of power behind them. The OP should make ported enclosures for those PA woofers, that'll get him where he wants to be. Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

bigbodylexus Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 If the SA-12's aren't enough, then go with the Zv3's. How loud are you trying to be?

P4killer_ Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Two sep boxes??? Is it a chambered box? If its literally two sep boxes and each like in its own lil area.. f that silliness. Build a 2 12 standard shares air box with like a 6 inch aero and be done with it. Sa's are honestly some well designed nasty little mofos... before they got to be $200 fing bux they were one of the best bang for buck subs out there. They gey plenty loud. Either you are giving em like 400w each or the design isnt ideal.

Miguels Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 the only way you are going to get loud is getting more power. the pro audio get really loud and go over the bass making it sound like the bass is not loud.

kirill007 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 someone said problems with my mid speakers..trust me those rcf speakers are extremely loud. car audio speaker wouldnt sound as loud in my country we use alot of pro audio for our mids such as rcf.. bnc.. bemya.. faital pro..etc because we can play music extremely loud anywhere Separate boxes arent good, put them in a shared airspace box with enough port area, which is more then 30sq inches per subwoofer. The mids are useless for midbass unless you have them in a ported enclosure in your doors. Because the midrange is so overpowering youll need a lot of midbass to balance it out, which isn't possible without porting the pro audio speakers. They are designed to work in ported enclosures. You havent specified any equipment you have and didnt list your goals, nor posted pictures of what you have. It's harding understanding what you need. You have the speakers mounted outside the car? Does that mean you want the same with the bass? So loud outside the vehicle, it's not for your own incar sound experience? Also answering questions that have been asked will help you out too.
