Marlo Stanfield Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 yeah i have 2 level 4 12s dual 2 ohm...but only one is workin due too ripped tinsel leads.... the one that is workin is hookd up to merlin md3d if i get a recone what other options would u suggest i get..including the lv5 coils? If you're only planning on running 1k to each sub then i wouldn't even suggest LVL5 coils. LVL4s should be able to handle like 2k daily at least without any issues with regular lvl4 coils.

Pioneer AVIC-N2 (12) 12" RE SXs old model.... (3) AB VFL 500.1 @ 1ohm each Dual 300amp Ohio Gen alts.... (10) Northstar NSB-125s 26ft3 @ 33hz w/ a ton of port area 156.5 @ 40hz @ dash, Db Drag style / 153.2 Bassrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlo Stanfield Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 okae well what are some options that he offers when he does the recones? I have no idea, I'm guessing for a fee he could add sum extra spiders, different coil, different dust cap, etc... I don't see much else that he could do. If i were you I'd just get a regular recone for them since you're planning on getting them D1s... What coils are they currently and what ohm are they wire to?? Quote 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer...

rysc86 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 since you guys have seen his trunk and mines basically the same (i have a crown vic) what would you think would be louder? porting through the rear deck or just cutting a big hole in the rear deck. the rear deck has a hole about the 8" in the center of it so a 6" aeroport could go there but some elbows would be needed to get to the box since the gas tank is right behind the rear seats on these cars (I hope the OP didn't screw the amps down on that "hump" back there) I have used some Dayton Audio port elbows and aeroports before in a ported fiberglass box before but my Avalanche kept breaking the elbows so i don't want to use those again. maybe some regular pvc water pipe elbows but i don't know if they would disrupt flow/fuck with tuning.

What do u have them wired to right now?? .5ohm or 2ohms If u want them reconed to a different coil config, then contact Rusty and see if you guys can set up when he can do them... Or contact Dave(Team PSI) and he should be able to help u out also. Quote 1998 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer... New setup, old ride... QX56 is staying stock til I get loud...
