Jonathan91 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 I already have a set of alpine type s. My max work area is 13 tall, 30 width and 22 or 25 depth. I want to make it either a slot or aero port with the port facing to the front
ckeeler11 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Posted October 12, 2016 What size subs? What amp? what vehicle? port and subs on same plane or subs up and port forward?
Jonathan91 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Posted October 14, 2016 12" kicker cvr's i got a set of alpine type s too. But im going to stick with the kickers. Probably this one http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_76943_Crunch-PZX1800.2.html . I want the subs and port facing forward. Its for a 91 toyota cressida. Barely got the car. Im currently doing a headgasket job, but just want some pointers before i start making the box. In a few months or so
Triticum Agricolam Posted October 14, 2016 Report Posted October 14, 2016 If you have a few months, save your money and buy a better amp. "Nothing prevents people from knowing the truth more than the belief they already know it.""Making bass is easy, making music is the hard part."Builds:
Jonathan91 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Report Posted October 14, 2016 Which amp would do recommend for either the kickers or alpines?
Triticum Agricolam Posted October 15, 2016 Report Posted October 15, 2016 There are lot of good amps out to there to choose from. It would probably be easier to tell you what I didn't like about that Crunch amp. 1. Its a class A/B amp, which are larger, less efficient, and run hotter than class D amps 2. Crunch plays the "Peak Power" game, which is a moderately dishonest way to market an amp. Its a 900 watt (maybe) amp, they should label it as such. 3. Its fuses lead me to believe it won't put out anywhere near 900 watts RMS. Class A/B amps are usually around 65% efficient or less, 80 amps * 14.4 volts * 65% = 748 watts 4. Its priced below $.12 a watt. Price certainly isn't everything and paying a lot doesn't guarantee anything, but people have a lot of bad experiences with amps that cheap. 5. It doesn't have a infrasonic (subsonic) filter. If you are looking for a decent budget-price amp, HiFonics stuff usually isn't too bad. There are others as well.

Joe X Posted October 16, 2016 Report Posted October 16, 2016 OP here's a Crunch amp which is class D at the same price, it's designed specifically for driving subs unlike the one you picked : http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_100201_Crunch-1-ohm-Stable-Class-D-Monoblock-PDX-2000.1D.html Hifonics and crunch brands are currently made by the same manufacturer (Maxxonics) so I would expect them to be of pretty similar quality.

LOL at me, I should have known this. "Nothing prevents people from knowing the truth more than the belief they already know it.""Making bass is easy, making music is the hard part."Builds:
