Audiohz Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 So currently running two sundown sa15’s sealed at spec per sundown on a sae 3000 tuned with a smd dd1 for subs rms. Sounds good does pretty good lows but at the same time thinking about two 12 inch sa’s ported same amp so same wattage ran at 1ohm . Would I actually gain any overall output going ported? Thinking if ported just getting the dual box down for sound pro pre fab they have now. Car is a Scion tC so not lots of room to work with and not looking to build myself regardless.

CstrokerV Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Why not one 15 ported that will handle the amp? Or 2 12”s ported that will handle that amp my build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/142505-small-build-log-4-dc-lvl3-10s-tl-update-link-to-rebuild/ http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/154258-rebuild-6-lvl3-12s-update-small-video-nothing-spectacular/ new build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/188181-03-trailblazer-slow-build-8-dc-lvl3-12-m1-motor-m2-parts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett RDT Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 It all depends on how you tune your box. I made a 8 hit harder than two 12s but only at 23.33 Hz ware the box peeked. If you go with a 4th or 8th order box the sky is the limit. Hope that helps. Garrett RDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishchris1 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Just MPO, I'd definitely go with two 12"s ported. I've never heard a sealed box that moved as much air and sounded / felt as good as a tuned ported one. I even tried a sealed box again about 2 years ago, and it sucked Went right back to tuned and ported. Honestly can't see myself ever running my subs sealed again.

Just not sure if I would get a noticeable gain in output and don’t wanna kicker my self in the ass for spending that much for a 1db gain my luck lol.

What are you metering right now? the new sa v2 15s metered 150db right out the box at 900watts. Of course it’s ported.
