tez4life Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Just picked up a LVL 4 18 D2 with a fresh recone from a local guy. Currently, sub is in 5.5 net tuned to 32hz. Im considering building a new box for the sub, a little bigger, but what im wondering is what you guys would suggest? I have a Crown Vic, so I have plenty of room, could go up to 8 cubic feet net if nessary. Also, how much power should I feed this beast? I could get a good deal on a Orion 1200d, which seems perfect, but seems everyone on here pushes much more power to their DC subs than recommend and they handle it well. I figure the larger box would work well with the amp I mention since power handling tends to drop a bit with larger enclosures correct? Any input is apperciated thanks.

Torres Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 just feed it the RMS power. some people can and do give them more power, but that's all the power it will need in order to perform properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tez4life Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the input guys, answered my questions. I picked up a Kicker KX 1200.1 to push the sub for the time being, and going to run my current box unless I get the urge to build something else. Ill try to get some pics of the install when its complete. Edited August 4, 2009 by tez4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
