memphisbasshead Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 ported ftmfw. do you really think that the ported 12 will hit harder than the sealed 15??

memphisbasshead Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 i say the 12 ported. make the box a little on the small side because 1000rms is alot for the sub well i wouldn't be putting a full 1000 rms to the sub thats why you have voltage input adjustment on the amp so you can control the power.

Freshman6969 Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 12 ported>15 sealed, then again i dont like sealed boxes :/ but thats just my opinion, i think it would hit harder aswell, but if your gunna run 1000rms to it do a lvl 4 not a 3, dont think just cuz its a DC you can rape it with power, correct me if im wrong but i think loads of power is more ment for XL's and up? also just a question of my own to add here, 1500ish on a lvl 4 with 5coil and spiders, would that be too much or fine? sorry to thread jack op Quote Legal TL scores145.6 on the dash sealed up in the low 40hz area with the port out145.5 on the dash sealed up @30hz with the port inless then 1k clamped on a 3.5k! Why would you EVER WANT flex?huh?...flex is what can make the lows lower and more air being pushed correct?

JPagan Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 well i wouldn't be putting a full 1000 rms to the sub thats why you have voltage input adjustment on the amp so you can control the power. It's actually meant to match the voltage output of your head unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
