CONKLE73 Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 So I have 2 Sundown SA 12 subs in a ported enclosure tuned to about 33hz in the cargo area of my Tahoe. I also have / had 2 old school Boston acoustics 10.4lf subs in a 1 cubic foot sealed enclosure under my 2nd row seats firing down. The Sundouns handle the lower end very well and the Bostons filled in the upper end of the spectrum perfectly.. Problem is I had the bostons crossed over with an active band pass filter from 80hz to 45hz... that is until I mistakenly rest the crossover and only had the low pass filter on and was sending those subs everything below 80hz and wound up smoking one of them... Long story longer... I need to replace them and I'm looking for 10" subs that will have good response in the 80hz-45hz range in a 1cf sealed enclosure with about 450 watts rms going to each sub. I really miss the clean, tight, punchy bass that those 10s produced... I have the low-lows all day with the SA 12s I just need subs that will fill that gap I now have in the upper bass spectrum. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfkncar Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Image dynamics Q sounds like a nice match, or since its a tahoe a nice front stage upgrade would probably help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Yes those IDQs will work perfectly on sealed, aimed for sound quality and have higher power handling. Having said that you probably have the SA-12s in a peaky alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiBo Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 I had my SA-12's playing up to around 70+ hz with pretty decent authority. I think they sound best tuned to around 35hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CONKLE73 Posted October 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Anyone have experience with the NVX VSW102V2 subs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Lightning Posted October 27, 2018 Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 Personally, I’d concentrate on a whole new setup verses mix mached drivers. In your vehicle, you can tune something like 4 12s and work better and then concentrate on amplifier power for better dynamics and driver control. i have a single 15 accomplishing your entended goal. Factors were driver specs, enclosure design and amplifier specifications. Just saying best of luck with your setup sir. Post pics !!!
