Mosley_23 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 I recently got a 12” American bass hd and I like it but I want something that’ll play lower and get louder. The box is 2.5 ft3 and tuned at 35hz. It’ll be pushed by a sound qubed 2200.
will77530 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Posted March 9, 2020 So build a different box to accomplish those goals

The box is 2.5 ft3 and tuned at 35hz. It’ll be pushed by a sound qubed 2200. My xfl ate high 20s , the hd is a better sub than the xfl. Build a box tuned lower and with proper port area and the hd will eat your car. My xfl liked closer to 3 cubes tho. Just my experience, hope it helps. 2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears. All done by me. stereo is Pioneer avh 600ex, all stinger rca, jp23 v1.5, skar rp150.4, and hertz hpd4. 2 SHCA 6.5 8ohm, 1 SHCA 3.5", and 1 DS18 tw120pro in each door. The 3.5 mid and 3.5" tweeters are powered by the skar rp150.4, the 6.5s are powered by the hertz bridged @4 ohms. Dual runs of 3/0 welding cable, 300a alternator, 2 Vmax AGMs up front. current sub is a AB XR 12 ( dual 2 ohm) with bottom spider cut out in 2.25 cubes at 32hz
AaronT Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 The he is as pretty beast sub. Build a correct box
Joshdashef Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 The Fi SP4s are known to get down low. They can be power hungry so take that into consideration. Hell thats the reason I bought mine. Just build a box big enough with plenty of port and you will get low.

AaronT Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 Well if he has a HD and days it don't "get low" switching subs isn't going to improve his situation. He will more than likely stick whatever recommendation into same box and be in same situation or worse. HD's can get low and nastay.
