Hunter Horton Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 Questions in second paragraph.. Ok so I have 2 sundown zv3 12s. Will be running at 2 or 4 ohm on a Banda 5k 1ohm. I am building a wall/box sealed from trunk and firing with subs and port forward directly into cabin. It will be sealed so no air gets into rear deck or the sides. I have 17" high, 36 wide, and 24 deep to work with leaving room for batteries and amps for highs.. I know that would be a little over what sundown calls for, going to run a 8" aero. Will this be alright?Will it hit good and not have to worry about unloading them. What are your ideas as well? I have though about doing a removable false wall for when I am at comp..think it would work? Will have my daily/demo port and a comp port to switch too..
Triticum Agricolam Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 A single 8" port is probably going to be good up to around 1,000 watts. If you are going to be running much more than that you should probably have more port area. Are your subs D2 or D4 coils? You can't wire the same two subs to 2 ohms or 4 ohms.

You should reconsider.

Joe X Posted August 11, 2015 Report Posted August 11, 2015 Considering you are looking to compete I'd say that is just not a good plan.

You should reconsider. I don't believe I asked for opinions on the subs or amp.. never had a single problem with either.. everybody talks trash about Brazilian boards but if you don't try to wire below rated and give them the power they want you are golden and they do work.

Fuck, chill haha... I run zv3s and a banda 7k.

Wanting to get started building and possibly finished by Thursday for the most part beauty work can be next week. Have Wednesday and Thursday to get shiat done lol. A single 8" aero is just fine for 2 12s ive seen alot of build just run 1 8" on 2 12s. Aero ports require less port area then a slot port. Slot port is my last resort.

Slot port is my last resort. A single 8" aero is just fine for two 12" like you said, up to about a 1,000 watts. If you wire your amp at 4 ohms you will probably be fine, but I doubt you stay on that amount of power for long. Its true that you can get away with higher port velocities with an aero port than a slot port but only to a certain extent. The size of the box and the particular subs being used also factor into the equation. Once you go much over a 1,000 watts your port velocities are going to get above 30ish m/sec and your performance is going to suffer. Ask those people who are using a single 8" port what power they are running and port velocity they are getting, when they don't have an answer for you maybe you should think about that why that is. You asked for input, and I'm giving you some. Its your system though, so do what you think is best. You didn't say which coils your Zv3s have.

I understand that but it's more input about design or what to do as trying to get 2 different things from 1 box. Coils are D2
