Robert8252 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 In the end I'll have 2 15" dc XLs each running on there own AQ2200. I don't have the funds to do the complete build this year but can get one sub, amp, and the electrical to handle one so that's what I'm doing. My question is though since I'll be running the 1 15 on 2200+rms in a daily what volume would be a safe starting point for the sub. It's only rated at 1500 but we all know it can handle more but I didn't know if with that power I need to stay closer to 3^ft after displacement or would I actually want to go smaller closer to 2.7-9 to handle the extra power without bottoming the sub out?

hdorre Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'm no expert, but I would say no bigger than 4 cubes.

tristan560 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I'm no expert, but I would say no bigger than 4 cubes. ??? Then stop answering these threads! Id stick with 3 cubes...as long as gains are set right, the sub should be fine. Quote <u>99 Jimmy SLT 4WD</u> Systemless. <u>99 Grand Prix GTP</u> DC XL 12 on 1.5k tuned lowwwwww.

Robert8252 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 I know recommended and ideal volume for regular use but wanted to know if I was going to be over enough with power box space would critical or if I could still go 4^ft and be just fine. I'll ask rusty when I order what he says just wondering if anyone has actually been close with this setup and their opinion on box space for power Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corona_jeff Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) I know recommended and ideal volume for regular use but wanted to know if I was going to be over enough with power box space would critical or if I could still go 4^ft and be just fine. I'll ask rusty when I order what he says just wondering if anyone has actually been close with this setup and their opinion on box space for power Rusty will tell you 3-3.5cu per. Thats not enough power to do any damage unless you just clip the hell out of it. Im personal using 3.25cu ea and have more power and I am having no problems Edited July 29, 2010 by corona_jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert8252 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 That's what I needed to hear. I'm aiming for 4^ with the one for now but will have to cut back when I get the second one. Hopefully get this stuff rolling early next month Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy. 2200 is really nothin the XL can't handle, 3 cuft each should be fine. Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

Robert8252 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 DC(I think rusty) told me not to exceed 5k on two XLs and that any thing more go the LVl 5s but never really specified or talked about box space. I didn't know if what he meant by that was that each sub with 2500 would still be safely usable within the advertised specs or not. So if it is and can safely handle the 2200 with out an issue I'd like to go as big as possible for the one sub to get the most out of it.
