9 or 10 12s


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all,

I have 10 12's and making an enclosure to fit 10 seems to be a major pain in my side.

my question is, if all factors stay the same, (box tuning, power per sub, et cetera) what loss in spl could i expect in dropping 1 sub out, and only using 9?

the vehicle is my ground pounding daily driver. the enclosure is a ported wall in an 05 suburban.

I don't necessarily need exact numbers, but would I notice the difference?

ps. i like hair tricks:)

I don't think it possible to answer that question,and actually be accurate. theres to many factors...

If you hear a difference then I'd be very surprised . I think if you heard anything different it would be mind tricks .

I get that its not a straight forward question to answer.... or maybe at all.

I was thinking along the lines that it would just be mind tricks... (and what i was hoping for :yahoo: )

I say do 9 if it's so much simpler. Or post max dimensions and someone can help you with a box design

9 in a proper box for the subs and the vehicle should be​ better than 10 in the wrong box. Depending on your goals. And a bunch of other things.

Is the mounting surface or the air space the issue in fitting one more?

Its going in an 05 burban, no second row of seats, so in order to fit the box it has to shrink in the back.

Max dimensions are:

61 w, 44t, and i would like to keep the depth to the 12-18" area

and the rear where it shrinks are as follows:

51w, 37t, and how ever deep the rear is. somewhere in the 50-60" area.

edit, and i need 29-30 cubes net @ 30hz

What's the plan so far that you can't fit? Flat wall? Clamshell? Lots of ways to get more mounting area. Many of which will take up air space, unfortunately.

Why 10? To match up with your amp power or do you already own 10?

So many questions but to suggest possible solutions we need details.
