Facekicker Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 so this is my first time building my own system..i would usually have friends do it but not this time and i just picked up a hcca 12.2 for my ranger.. gonna build the box myself but not to sure of how to go about the port (are aeroports a easier way to go) and or any type of bracing inside the box. any advice would be much appreciated. plan on running either a Crescendo bc3500, hifonics brx2400.1d, or maybe a sundown. 98 ford ranger You've got another thing coming if you think that sub will actually withstand 3KW. Mine take 3k each and have for almost 2 years. If he sets his crossover, gains, and subsonic correctly 3k gives good headroom and the subs will be quite happy. What makes you think they won't take it? Have you ran HCCA before? 2002 Monte Carlo Started a build log Fi, DC, Mechman, XS Power
ghostlyrich Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 i love my hcca 10 XD the box is way to tiny for it but it sounds sooo nice looks so tiny in the box but next to a jl w3 its scary XD My youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/ghostlyrich Mazda 3 2006 Build (R.I.P) http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/172728-mazda-3-2006-stealth-build/ Volkswagen GTI 2011 Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192979-vw-gti-2011-build/ Jeep 2015 Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/201493-my-new-jeep-2015/
Aj11 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 what is the actual rms of them? 3 years ago i thought they were the coolest subs in the world! not that there not good now. i just use to be infatuated with them. to this day it's the loudest single 12 set up I've personally heard. s10 Ext cab 4000w thing got low! jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)
Soccerballzs Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 really 3 feet is to big for that sub? not disagreeing just asking. i thought those subs liked huge boxes. I have single 10 right now in 1.25 box hits nice and low. Sometimes bigger is not better. Orion specs even smaller sq ft for single 12. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/garage/vehicle/2438-jeep-commander/I Pioneer P99RSAmpere 38002-Ampere 125/44-6.5 inch Hertz HSK XL Mids4-8 inch JL Audio ZR Midwoofer 2-5.25 Satori Mids2-Morel Tweeters, 2 Hertz Milles 3 inch on A pillars2-Hertz Silk tweeters DC Audio Level 5/12 Skyhigh Wire Mechman 320 XS Power D3100MO Funniest Thread of the Year 2013: http://www.stevemead...dy-being-a-pos/

marzano1 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Posted May 6, 2014 Forget the port. Do you have the electrical to run 3500 watts? do you mean my battery or alternator?

I have single 10 right now in 1.25 box hits nice and low. Sometimes bigger is not better. Orion specs even smaller sq ft for single 12. i dunno man, I had a 15" rockford sub and it told be 6 cubic feet ported and it sounded like ass. I put it in a 10 cubic foot box and it blew me away. i never trust manufacture box recommendations unless its made by aa, Fi, sundown or soundqubed. quality companys like that. 1997 subaru legacy outback Four 15's in a almost wall Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on tweets Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on highs Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midrange Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midbass Optima Yellow top batteries 270A Singer alt (working on a bracket for a second) Lots of Second Skin
Facekicker Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 A 12 should go in 2.65cf box after port, 1.5 before port tuned to 33hz if using the amount of power OP's talking about 2002 Monte Carlo Started a build log Fi, DC, Mechman, XS Power
Jacob Strahan Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 Forget the port. Do you have the electrical to run 3500 watts? do you mean my battery or alternator? he means a h/o alternator, probably 270 amps, and 2 batteries... maybe 3. agm style of course like XS vehicle: 1998 2door tahoe HU: kenwood single din subs: DC level 4 18" amp: hifonics 2500.1D and 1200.4 door speakers: 2 PWX 8"s and 2 random 6.5"s
Facekicker Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 3 batteries would be overkill for a single 12 on 3k. I would suggest the alternator and a solid battery under the hood, after that I would consider adding a second battery, but he shouldn't need 3 unless he doubles up on amps. Does a Ranger have a location under the hood for a 2nd battery? 2002 Monte Carlo Started a build log Fi, DC, Mechman, XS Power
