RgvSound Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I have 2 12inch DB drive wdx 2k subs that I want to make a box for now the specs say per sub 2.0 cu ft for sealed and 2.7 cu ft for ported. Now if I build it ported does that mean each sub needs 2.7 cu ft or can the whole box be 2.7 cu ft???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeeler11 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Each sub after you take out the displacement for the port, subs, and bracing. So you are looking at a box around 6 cubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
image91 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 That would be around 6 cubes net volume. 5.4 ft^3 net for the least if you are going separate chambers. With subwoofer displacement, port & bracing if any, it will be significantly larger. Especially if you use the optimal port area required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shredder2 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 DB Drive WDX2K-12?... in my experience often the manufacturer recommendations leave a lot to be desired so modeling the things on your planned power and in the space you've got available might be something you'd want to do. I just don't see those things handling 2K rms each, possibly 1K each at best. If you got any real power... past 2K I'd be careful with tuning and airspace if it was me... of course I'm just a noob IDK if them coils will hang but for a true 2K amp at 1 ohm I'd do something like this... or close. If you wanted max output I'd try to use an Aero as well. Idk if building something close to that ^^^ is gonna meet your goals but it ought to not limit output and would give those subs a fighting chance at handling a decent 2K amp at 1 ohm IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k58.cross Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 2kW max, it's a Walmart sub. Hope you did not pay the $290 retail price listed on their website my friend. If you want a sub for under $300 that can actually do close to 2kW RMS: https://www.down4soundshop.com/27-series-up-to-1700-rms/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
