raytard Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 i've had good luck with sub back port back sub up port back is kinda for when you cant fit all your cone area facing back Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raytard Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 sounds good kicker does like higher tuning, 37 should be great. if you didnt buy the wire yet shop around, jl is one of the most expensive, but not necessarily the best. as long as you're finding the same diameter of copper and it's flexible enough to work with, wire half the price will be just as good. as far as positioning, none of us will know what works best. some vehicles like sub back port side, or sub up port up, sub back port up, etc. my vote is sub back port back, usually the best in my experience, closely followed by sub up port back build it, test it, spin it around and face it in every direction and see what is loudest and go from there., use a reference song that is the same volume and note, and same volume on the h/u obviously, something like "ay bay bay" or " a milli" then again, remember that acoustics are funky, and what is loudest at say 40hz, could be the worse at 32hz and set a subsonic filter if you can, with your tuning and loading in the rear it should still play like 30hz with ease, go much below that at high volume and you're going to find out what unloading a subwoofer does.

Im aiming more towards being loud and having sq. would this setup be nice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graph1cz Posted February 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) can i suggest stay away from sony amps, i got one and it blew smoke after 5 hours of play not even turned up all the way, get a hifonics amp much better then sony and a great bang for the buck i've had this sony for almost 2 years now and it has never overheated or anything on me. heres another question should i get a lvl 3 15" DC or a 15" cvr? dc is more expensive but i think it'd be worth it. of course i'd need a new amp Edited February 26, 2009 by Graph1cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
