michigancapri92 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 ok so right now i have 2 10" P1s in a sealed box and i want to add a single 12" ported P1 to get a little bit lower because the sealed 10s hit REALLY good but not the real lows ... what would be a good amp to run them and would a ported 12 hit good lows ??

Destram Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) lol. Edit: To make this a useful post: Get the 10s out of the what I'm assuming is a prefab. If you have that kind of room, build a ported box for the 10s.

michigancapri92 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) i built the box and i did not want a ported box because i had both a ported and sealed on them and i liked the sealed ... i made the box myself... i have the 10s and 6x9 all in one in the back seat does not have room to make a ported box for the 10s they recommend 1.5 CU/f ported .58 sealed ... my trunk has 2 levels that i made when i took the spare out and i would have room for a 12 in the bottom of trunk where batteries are that is why i want to put a 12 there because no room for the 2 10s in a ported box. and sealed box means not the best for lows so a 12 would compensate Note: I do not buy prefabbed shit when i can spend half that to make one thats better :-) Edited September 22, 2010 by michigancapri92 Quote Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TINY TINY TINY and i would port the 10s but i am tight on space with 2 .58 Cu/Ft chambers and RF recommends 1.5 Cu/Ft ported so i don't have the room for that. what would be a good way to get some lows ??? could i possibly run a 4channel amp the sealed of 2 channels and the one ported off 2 channels ?? so they could both have there own X-over and gain control ?

Possible i guess, I wouldnt do it, most people like to stick with the same sub size unless you have 8's or 10's just for midbass. I dont know man, its your call on what you wanna do, If it were me I would get as creative as I could to fit 3 10's ported Quote 2012 silverado ext cab ltz 24" kmc rims AudioQue 2200 Pioneer AppRadio Alpine mrx f35 4 channel Bose mids and highs Iraggi Alt + stock alt in a DC power dual alternator kit Yellowtop+stock under hood 0 gauge Knu wire Big 3 4 gauge stinger (4 chan wiring) 3 DC 10'' LVL3 with LVL4 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugee81 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 maybe im incorrect but i feel like there could be some kind of cancellation?

michigancapri92 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 guess for now im going to stick with the 2 10s maybe when i get more money i can do a full build and make the 10s for midbass and get 2 12s later on idk Quote Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
