Lakeshow94 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 If I am looking for a 12 that can play lows very well what would I be looking for in terms of t/s parameters etc? I currently am running a ct sounds meso 15 in a 3.25 net tuned at 29. If I wanted to replicate that system as closely as possible with a 12" sub what would I look for? I'm switching from a 98 camry to a 99 gs300 and space is definitely an issue in that trunk. Please don't start recommending actual subwoofers as I don't want this to turn into a vs thread :/ 1999 Lexus GS 300 Pioneer DEH-80PRS Singer 240 Amp (Will be installed later) Northstar Group 31 & 24 Sundown SCV-4000 Rockford T400-4 2 12" CT Sound Meso CT Sounds 6.5 Meso Components CT Sounds Tropo 6.5
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 I'd bet you can still fit a single 15 in that trunk. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
diegoclass2010 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 i would be looking at biggest xmax... i would be looking at a sundown line with the mega roll surround.
Lakeshow94 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 I'd bet you can still fit a single 15 in that trunk. It would be very custom. Width I can fit is 38" or so. Height is 16". Depth is 16" and it hits a lip that raises it 2-3". A few inches farther back the width goes down to 28". Not to mention room for batteries/amps. 1999 Lexus GS 300 Pioneer DEH-80PRS Singer 240 Amp (Will be installed later) Northstar Group 31 & 24 Sundown SCV-4000 Rockford T400-4 2 12" CT Sound Meso CT Sounds 6.5 Meso Components CT Sounds Tropo 6.5
Lakeshow94 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 I wouldn't want to make a small 15 box. I'm at 3.25 net right now and I'd prefer somewhere around 3.75-4 1999 Lexus GS 300 Pioneer DEH-80PRS Singer 240 Amp (Will be installed later) Northstar Group 31 & 24 Sundown SCV-4000 Rockford T400-4 2 12" CT Sound Meso CT Sounds 6.5 Meso Components CT Sounds Tropo 6.5
bkolfo4 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Large Xmax and big surrounds don't always equal lower frequency response. Model the complete set of t/s parameters and compare response for optimum enclosures. Something as simple as the spreadsheet on DIYSubwoofers.org works great.

Lakeshow94 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Posted October 28, 2015 I love the look of those. I guess do to the fact that I have to wait a few months before I get into woofer shopping the fact that they're not out shouldn't be a problem. Do you know if fi has released any specs on them yet? 1999 Lexus GS 300 Pioneer DEH-80PRS Singer 240 Amp (Will be installed later) Northstar Group 31 & 24 Sundown SCV-4000 Rockford T400-4 2 12" CT Sound Meso CT Sounds 6.5 Meso Components CT Sounds Tropo 6.5
