703autosport Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 IV had six rockford p2 8's sitting brand new in my room for 6 months so Iv decided to build something for a sound comp that me and my shops owner are going to enter this weekend. the box Im going to build today(time permitting at work) has three separate chambers at 1.54 cu ft each with a pair of 8's per chamber ported. The enclosure is going where my backseat was in my 95 mustang Gt powered by my Xtant 1001DX with the subs firing up and the three 4x13" ports firing forward tuned to about 40-45hz. Do you think this will get decently loud even though its hard to do in a stang? One other question I have is iv anyone can help me with the wiring on my subs to get them as close to 1 ohm as possible, their all dual 4 ohm subs but I cant figure out hoe to wire them up... thanks for any help Jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuning is right on 40-45hz is good for 8's. If you have a 1 channel/mono amp...and 6 dual 4ohm subs...you can get it down to 1.33ohms. towards the bottom of this page... http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=161 Edited April 23, 2008 by LSN2meBoom916 Quote COOGLE SAID:"bro thats how we got where we are... buy making messes ...... i still learn all the time you just gota be willing to ruck up some shit" "In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd." ~ Miguel de Unamuno"One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men, but no machine can do the work of one extraordinary man" -Elbert Hubbard"A proud man can learn humility...but he will be proud of that too" ~I forget who.I'm far from perfect and I know it better than anyone, but I hope to be good at what I do, when I do it...Installs I've done:My Integra: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=3161The Lexus : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=1535Law's Maxima: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...ic=5568&hl=Jeff's 2500HD: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...ic=5382&hl=Acura RSX-S: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=3142Z-32 300zx: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=34602004 Civic 4dr: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=8190Trunk/Corner Box: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...c=16036&hl=1969 Chevy C-10: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...c=20319&hl=Seat-Back AMP-RACK How-to: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...ic=9428&hl=Bunch of subs still for salehttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...l=lsn2meboom916"It's game night...we're playin......sex."~Quagmire"When disneyland started it was powered completely by orphan children running on treadmills to generate e-lectrissty…and today, them children are New York Yankees". ~Dale Gribble"Fill it with ice...then pour it up to the top of the ice...& Shut da Fu** up!" ~Urs truly.

sully Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I would try it but the port going up or if you pull the back seat, a down fire box raised about 4 inches off the ground may be louder. A bandpass would be louder for SPL purposes, maybe a dual tuned bandpass.

703autosport Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I finished the system a felast week and Im hoping to meter it later today but I have a question about the ohm load... I wired it up as I was told and it was sitting at 2.11 ohms instead of 1.33 like it should, a buddy of mine said that it would drop after 20-30 hours of playing time since the subs are new. Well it still hasnt dropped at all and my xtant only puts out 500 watts at 2 ohms, It needs closer to 1ohm to put out the 1000... any advice?

FieroGrande Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ohms dont just drop after you play the subs. The only thing that will drop is your voltage. Sounds like you need to wire them differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
