EricM9104 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Okay, so as it stands I have 4 MTX Jackhammer 12's.125-250RMS 500MAX They are in seperate ported boxes b/c that is all that i had at the moment, and they are being run off 2 insignia 1000/2's, a speaker per channel, so they are getting maybe 250RMS a piece. What I need is some suggestions, on how I can get them louder, they sound good as of now and all, but i want it louder, so would I need 1 single ported box, or 1 single sealed, or bigger amp/amps, monoblock, 4 channel, i'm open for all suggestions, and some critcism if its not to harsh lol All this is in a '97 Toyota 4 Runner im still waiting on an explanation as to why you want his 12s in 4 cubes each When is 8/4=4? Lol.

audiofanaticz Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 8 cubes tuned to 35hz.80 sq in of port area. just shut up already.pull your head out your ass before giving advice to anyone again That would be the specs that mtx gives you if you where to do the 2 cubed per sub http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/subwo...-Subwoofers.cfm but for some reason 8 cubes for 4 cheaper subs does sound a bit big.

Wow, guess I hit the nail on the head for box specs... didn't even look at MTX's site, lol. Meh, a forum member here had four Pioneer TS-W306C's in a 9.4^3 cube box, tuned to 26hz with 2 6" PVC ports... did 146-148 in a Nissan truck.
