assman Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 If it was me,not just because i love cone area but id go with 8-15's sealed.A sealed encloser you can tune low and basically play anything you want.A ported encloser you are limited to certain notes.

jcm1689 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 i dont think you can tune a sealed box yes you can, it has to do with the amount of airspace in the box and something else i think. cant remember but they taught me about it at mobile dynamics Quote R.I.P.

jcm1689 Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 8 15s ported 8 15" havocs sealed!!! Put them in the right sealed box with atleast 1000w rms and they would murder those 4 18s ported!!!Pipo is only running like 750w rms to his and you see what his truck can do!! :hairtrick: ya just got pricing for AA. def be going with those no matter which route. i have 2 questions. i might be able to do the 15's ported but i only have about 2-2.2 cubes a sub after displacment to work with.....thats probably to small for the aa's huh? and secondly if i go with the 15's would it be better to go with the havocs and slightly under power them (about 900rms a piece) or go with the arsenal's and overpower them?

EricR Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 8 15's Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

~digital~bass~ Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) I would say 4 18's. sealed is more for quality you can move more air with 18's especially when they're ported. Just have to say look what Steve's running... 4 18's haha. Just thought I'd throw in my opinion. -------------------- 1995 Acura Integra 2dr 2 10" Kenwood KFC-3005 1 Kicker ZX750.1 1 5 farad Power Acoustik Capacitor JVC KD-G220 Im going to go based on your current system that you have no idea on what your talking about. plenty of people are doing alot crazier things when it comes to moving air or whatever you want to call it with sealed applications. Not dissing on Steve just saying. Edited August 13, 2008 by ~digital~bass~ Quote Car Audio + Bodyboarding/Longboarding = LIFE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskii Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'd say go the 18's ported. I got bout 3db more than sealed with RF T1, coz effectively, ya ports are adding to the air displacement.

jcm1689 Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 i would have to say go with 8 15s. thats my next setup. 4 18s ported PWNS too dont get me wrong. but the little more care area might suprise u. what kind of sealed enclosure are u doing??? and how much space do u have to work with? how much power do u have? lots will determine what u should or shouldnt do. got about 24 cubes after displacement if the box was a big cube. to fit 8 15's im obviously gonna have to do a diamond, clamshell or somehting similar to the hoopty and thats gonna cut down on my airspace. i have about 8000rms to work with Quote R.I.P.
