dbmonster Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 If I were you I would invest in a new "spair" for that baby, the 1st gen (light grey) cones have a bad problem of seperating and cracking. The new cones are stronger And I agree about going ported. although the x's do perform well in sealed, to me it's a waste of a beastly woofer. It will be sooooooo much louder ported I built a wall in my friends ext cab tundra with 2 soloX 12's on 2 zx1500's and it was a a beast, nobody believed him when he said he only had 2 12's. Metered in the high 140's, till one of the cones seperated...

Torres Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 sealing up an SPL woofer is a total contradiction. like a groundpounder trying to be an SQ car. just not made to do so. sealing that sub wouldnt even cross my mind. i ported the two i had. sounded pretty decent at least. then i started having problems with them and got rid of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zfrerichs Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yea I have been torn between the two and figured with the way I am building the box, it leaves me the option to port. 38x23x23 estimate. Thats roughly 8.9 cubes, then figure in bracing, sub and possible port...should be close to 7.5 to 8 ported. Whats funny, is Kicker actually recommends the sub in a sealed box for everyday use and ported for SPL. I dont know. I haven't got the wood yet, just a woody. im guessing these are outside measurements(sp)? Roseville, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamenNoodles Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Such a waste if you are sealing it up. Might as well just sell it and get a 12L7. Will probably be just as loud. Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeumtires Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 they arent that great sealed...ported is what they like and they arent underrating that 3200watts at all, its an spl sub, its meant for a burp. 5-10k it will hold on a burp no problem. play it for half an hour with 4k and it'll blow 2000-2500 is all it reliably takes daily, atleast in my experience (after the 5th spair on the same car and my kicker rep wouldnt give us a hookup anymore) just think about the dc lvl 5, 2000wrms, 20k max...thats where that 10k on the solo-x comes from, its about all it can hold on a burp...putting more than like 3k on it is asking for some burnt copper Solo Xs Can handle 5k daily. On music. Heres two running off 4 2500.1s Older models but they played music just fine..... Min givin Me a demo... BUT its ported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sayhuh? Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm reconsidering the sealed. I just need to figure out a new box design. And yes those our outer measurements. I can use the box and port it, but my measurements may have to change some...Monday, I get the wood. I'm considering the Hellfire 2500.1, but the wife isn't considering it! haha. With the SPAIR...it is a new sub. If it seperates, then I'll switch it out. Thanks for the persuasive responses!! Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
