drumstar7 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I am doing away with my 4x12 setup and going to a 2x18 setup with Fi sp4's. I plan on running one Crescendo BC 5500 on each subwoofer wired down to a single ohm on each amp.(not strapped.) I wanted to build a custom dual chambered ported box for this setup and so far I have a few ideas of my own but am very unsure if it will give me the most spl and output!!! I can go 48Wx32Hx28L maybe even 33H 39.5x31 face 48x28 top 48x28 bottom 27x31x27x31 port L 26x31x26x31 right 48x31 back 22.5x31x22.5x31 tuned to around 30hz and 32ish after sub displacement.. 8Cubes per sub. too big or? I open for Ideas, I have plenty of power for the amplifiers MM Elite 370 and three HC1800, 60 feet of 1/0 RF OFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguels Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 are you powering the subs with 11k each? i wouldnt do it my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigManAC Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Maybe a single 5500 if that per sub. They are underrated at 3000 wrms and putting almost x4 the power is not a good idea. 2001 Saturn L200-Sony MEX-BT4100PFRONT STAGE:- (4) Crescendo PWX 6- Cadence XA250.2SUB STAGE:-Fi Audio BL 15 (Sealed Off)-Crescendo BC2kELECTRICAL:- Singer 240A alt - XS Power D3400- SkyHigh OFC power/speaker wire- Big 3 with SkyHigh 0gaugeBuild Log: Click HereScores: 146.5db @ 29hz Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syphlyn Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I'm confused are you putting a 5500 on each sub or two 5500s PER sub. The way you've worded it shows you're throwing 11k rms to each sub.

drumstar7 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Look one BC 5500 per sub is not going to hurt anything, I want to run it less than half power. In the sense clean power no clipping from amps or subs. Also these amplifiers have no fans and at one ohm half power it would be less heat. I just need some enclosure ideas and I also was leaning toward 8cubes of airspace. I was told these subs do great in larger boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
