Mariothadon Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 My money is on A 600w max sub taking 150w rms in a really good box... 1 reason is because that 600w max sub probably isn't over 200 rated watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karkov Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Never look at "max watts", always look at RMS or continuous power. Your enclosure will make or break how it sounds, enclosure is everything. That being said there are too many variables, like is this a burp box or for music? Will the box be same orientation inside vehicle? What sub? What amp(s)? etc... 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

JL Audio 12W0v3-4 and comes with a subwoofer box designed specifically for no speaker but the 12W0v3-4, so should be optimal. It's for music , unintentional piss of neighbours shake my room sort of thing. It's gonna be on the floor next to my desk , amp is a home cinema plate amp supplying 150w so I'm gonna need to juice it alot which is fine I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 The box that sub comes with is probably designed for car audio use, not home audio, and just because it came from the manufacture doesn't mean it is an "optimal' design. Most prefab boxes, whether they are from the sub manufacturer or not, are designed to be small and fit well first, and sound good second. That sub will probably work but you will be much better served by a purpose designed box.

Someone told me unless you get a song custom made, most songs don't even brush near 20hz usually lowest being mid thirties , guess that's true tho like unless you play bass I love you I think I should be alrignt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Whether you watch movies or not, the home audio environment is very different than mobile audio. You get significantly more low end boost from the cabin gain in a vehicle than what you will get for room gain in most homes. The construction of your home also plays a big part. A basement media room with concrete walls is going to sound very different than a first floor room with stick built walls. The box that sub comes in is meant to be small and rely on cabin gain to boost the low end. It doesn't matter if you only want to play down to 30 Hz, what I said before is still relevant, you will get much better performance out of a purpose built box for that sub.
