Smoove Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I am putting 1500 rms to them according to jbl the pair is rated for 1800 according to dc (from my understanding they can handle quite a bit more if your not clipping them and have good power supply) the boxes net is 5.86 and dc calls for 3 per woofer is the .14 cuft really going to make that much of a difference (not being rude just curious) it seems to me without building a whole new box my best bet would be to cut 22 inches off the port length giving me 7.36 net box volume 15.06 port area per foot and put my tuning around 33.74hz 7.36 net box volume 15.06 port area per foot and put my tuning around 33.74hz is way better. 2 Team Fi 15's v1 2 DD M5's 970amps of Alt 6th order blowthroughThe truck Blowthrough build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/155555-smooves-1996-chevy-ext-cab-c1500-slow-build/The 350z build : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/170694-smooves-2003-nissan-350z/ My FB page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Smooves-Car-Audio-and-performance/719746144805343 Team Fi Audio http://www.ficaraudio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 For a quick test you could reverse mount the subs to see if it improves, those are usually done 3.5 net a piece and that with more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Burbancalldsnow Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 alright ill give the reverse mount a try first and see if it helps if it doesnt i will be cutting 22 inches from my port length and be reporting back thanks for the input and help guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will77530 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 i know dc specs pretty well i think. realistically your not getting 1500 out of that amp unfortunately. there for to make up for the lack of power you will need a larger enclosure now if you want to put the rated power to the subs your box will be the proper size, imo the tuning is a bit low for daily use but that is personal preference your port is also on the large size but that wont cause the subs to unload it will just shrink your bandwidth if you have any more question please fill free to give me a call 1 855 775 3299 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe X Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 If you open the box try to place a front to back brace in between the subs, 1 1/2" or so wooden dowel rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Burbancalldsnow Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Will when you say bandwidth you are reffering to the "authority" with which the subs will reproduce tones across a given range of tones yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirhutson Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 MY suggestion would be to try and achieve a net of 6.5 or so, and make the port surface area a little smaller. instead of 111in^2 i would try about 90 - 95in^2 and tune it around 35hz or so. Just my opinion. looks good. Also have you seen my friend Brace? He claims he wants to be in your box build. boss 1200 and a ipod nano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
