iceman88 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Due to some unfortunate events, i was going to upgrade my system but i couldnt. Now im back on track and think its time i got a little louder, however i have a BIG problem -> Limited Space. I already have 2 15's at 1200rms each, if im right i could possibly get another 2 15's in there, BUT there will not be any air space, i would have to go sealed but even then i think it will be too tight, the MAX diementions of my boot is 38"L - 19"H - 21"D so basically i will be pushing 4800rms with 4 15's + 4x JBL Gto1201.1 amps at 1200 each. What do you guys think? will it be enough for air? If not i have 2 other things i could try, 1) Fit 3 Subs In a sealed enclosure and 1 more new amp. 2) Sell off my subs and get 2 Kicker Solobaric L7's 15's PORTED(from what i heard they have the surface area of 18's) OR i could fit 3 in Sealed. Electrical system will need upgrading but for the moment i want to focus on the Subs/Amps. Im posting a picture of one of my old setups, just so you get a rough idea of boot space. I cant wall it up and also Box has to be a window line. (to mods: sorry if i put in wrong section but i didnt know if it should go under amps/subs/enclosure as its a mixture) Please move if inappropiate. Thanks to all in advance. 07072006_old_setup.JPG_thumb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'd go with L7's ported. Everyone I've talked to says they sound shitty in a sealed box. I've only done one install with a solobaric, and it was a s10l5. Ported it, and it sounded pretty good. Doesn't bump super hard, but enough to hear the kid comin down the street, just like he wanted. haha Quote A couple links to some box builds: Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI, Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150 My own car builds (current setup --- under construction): Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors Subwoofer Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman88 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Thanks for the input sean, But going ported with 2 L7's will there be enough room in my boot, i want to find out before i upgrade, also i wanna get loud man, if possible i wanna stick at least 3-4 15's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 You have around 8.5 usable cubic feet before displacement of subs and ports. That should be enough for 2 15's ported, but I wouldnt try and put three. Sealed, you could squeeze 3 in.

David Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 glass it and yu can get more airspace. and IMHO L7's sounded 10x better sealed than ported, but port them biatches and they GET WAY WAY loud in the right box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji0687 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 looks like ur port on those pioneers is wayyy too small. I've got two of the Pioneer Premier W5000SPL subs in about 4.5 cubes slot ported tuned LOWWW...and it slams. My old box was similar to urs and it hit the higher bass really hard but the low end was weak..

GHOPPOMAN Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 IMO...i wouldnt go with the s15l7 unless u have atleast 4.5cubes per driver ported. i personally love the sound of sealed enclosures but hated all the the l7s sealed. i think chode said go with btls...i would go with those or something else other than the kickers if u dont have the 4.5 per driver.

iceman88 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) I would love to get BTLS! But, im in UK..... lol Also picture of the pioneers was my old setup, i know the port was just random 2 years ago almost i think. Any how its easy for me to get my hand on 2 kickers here, i dont even think most the brands that are in US are here.... how ever would 3 kickers sealed be louder than 2 ported? If not then im going with the 2 kicker l7's Ported baby! :watsup: Also going to be feeding the kickers 2400rms hope they take it! i was thinking 4 subs but i realized how stupid i am, no space but i want to get subs in. not possible. EDIT- Ok if im not wrong then i need the 4Ohm Subs as i will be wiring like this to get 2 ohm load... http://www.the12volt.com/ssi/getimage.asp?...hm_dvc_2ohm.gif Edited February 17, 2007 by iceman88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman88 Posted February 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Ok from the old forum i decided that im going to go with 2 kicker 15" L7's Ported, and i wanted to tune my box up to 27hz.... from there continued! - BTW new forum is NICEEEE i Love my Lows! I'd Hate it not to bang on Young Yeez Tunes, lol Ok now here is another question im going to bore you guys with, My amps are 1200rms at 2 ohms, BUT the subs are dual 4ohm, now would i need to get dual 4ohm or 2ohm subs? im going to wire the subs coils, + to + and then - to - and each sub to each amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
