Help building box for 2 12" sundown x's

WOW, two 1250W subs on an amp that puts out 5500W. That's double the RMS. If you give that box the factory spec airspace, I don't foresee them lasting long. Triple joints, coils, and soft parts may not like you very much.

I also agree with the aero port suggestion. A single 8" is likely what I'd want. That would be 50" of port.

This

Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do that
I can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows

came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream.

oh lawd.

Yeap doble the power.....well i tryied one of the subs on a hifonics collossus or however its spelled and its sopossbli rated at 3200 rms at 2ohm and the sub took it full volume without a box just free air

Well on the hifonics you didn't get the full power they claim. They are overrated, not as much as some, but don't do rated power. The crescendo? well lets just say that you shouldn't judge the capabilities of this sub by how it performed on a hifonics at 2 ohms.

Good luck. It's not safe to give you a box design for those subs. I sure as shit wouldn't want to be blamed for a failure of the subs because you decided twice the RMS a good idea. Wire at 2 ohms or get some subs that will handle the power, like AA Mayhems.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

I guess ill be getting a smaller amp now....how does a 3500 crescendo sound its still more than what there rated at but its less power

Running a true 2500-3500 RMS amp on good electrical to those subs is a good decision. Any more and you might have issues. Either that or your gonna have to get good at rebuilding subs.
