can a sundown e12 d2 v1 handle my amp?

[primalwhite]

The amp in question is a cozmik audio monoblock qca2000d, it claims 2000 watts at 1 ohm and 1000 watts x2 at 2 ohms though it is non cea compliant so i'm sure it puts out significantly less. my question is, if i turn the input way down with no bass boost do you think an e12 wired to 1 ohm could hande the amp?

Wire the E12 to 4 ohms.

Plus I doubt that sub does rated. Barely has fusing.

[primalwhite]

the amp runs at 2 ohms, it will work with the woofer wired to 4?

Quantum audio that is, they are not RMS rated either, I'd say it will do around 650 RMS @ 1 ohm. You will still have to be careful since the sub a V1. Always use subsonic filter with ported boxes at least.

oops yeah my mistake quantum audio cozmik series, and thanks for the input. I've been looking into building a box, it'll be my first, i'm trying to keep as much of my prius trunk space as possible, i know most people aim for ported around 2 cubes but i would like to try to build a ported box around 1.5 cubes tuned around 32-35 hz, any idea if that would be feasible? or any help with a sketch up for a smaller sized enclosure?

So here is a suggestion see if the size is suitable, if not let me know, if I remember right last time you had a honda fit, this will be firing everything back, power: 500W RMS, amp subsonic filter to 28Hz, minimum port clearance 2 1/4", figure is just an assembly guide:

You are correct i had a fit, however i traded it in and got a used 2013 prius 2, i put infinity kappa693.9i's in the front run off of an alpine mrx-f35 and the rear channels i can either upgrade my rear doors (though i've been told its not very noticeable with the prius's sound stage) or run a sub off the bridged 170rms at 4 ohms, i just picked up the e12 and i'm worried the 170 on it won't satisfy me and i have the old quantum laying around so i'd like to use it ideally, i've heard of people giving sundown tons of power though i don't want to push my sub too hard. The box is pretty much perfect, it should still allow me to access the area where i have my amps still. Thank you so much for the sketch up.

You're welcome, you can use the amp at 2 ohm, you just have to make sure you set your gains correctly and use the subsonic filter, also check your electrical is in good shape, I would probably do a big 3 as it's very inexpensive. SA-12s could take 1K easily but the earlier V1 E series, I would be careful with it.
