trulywickedcustoms Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 So you think that the 2.5 isn't to small?? And what about the distance from the top baffle to the roof? When does that get to small?? And cause IMP rise and all that?? Just wondering bc like jay said I don't wana have to rebuild a 200lbs $300+ box agn..

The A Team Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I would try to stay atleast 20" away from the roof. But that shouldnt be a problem in your build. I dont think 2.5 is to small no. On a single sub it is a bit small, but on 9 subs it will probably help greatly on mechanical power handling. Remember every time you add a sub you drop frequency, if you are worried about playing low. I know a guy who has 8 XL 15s in 1.7 each and he does pretty good.

CJ18 Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I just got my 4 XL 15s playing yesterday. I have them in 3 cubes each tuned to 35hz and it drops LOW. I think you will be happy tuning the 15s higher. With 9 subs I dont think you will have much issue with 2.5 cubes per sub, if you have enough power. Lets just say in a perfect world you get a true 15k out of the 3 DC 5000s. You will still only be giving the XLs 1667 watts each. The XLs take 1500w and laugh at it. You could easily put a 5k per pair and do 8 XL 15s. Realistically you will probably see 3500-4000w out of the 5k after box rise and voltage drop. Trust me 1500w on an XL is no where near enough, they barely move, but they still get loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trulywickedcustoms Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 that would be over 3K per sub, (theoretical wattage agn so by the time the rise and all the factors come in to play id say id be seeing 2K roughly per sub??

matt402 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 how far are u keeping the port away from the back door? i think id rather go with the 8 15s on 4 5k's, but this is ur build... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trulywickedcustoms Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 The port is right at 8" from the rear gate Quote *2013 NEW BUILD* 12- 18" Crossfire XS v2's B pillar 4th order wall 4- Crossfire 8K mono blocks 40+ pro audio mids tweeters and horns 3- Singer alternator 400a external regulated alts tons of audiotechnix wire 24- XS Power D1400's -TEAM XS POWER- -TEAM CROSSFIRE- -TDH- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazdaspl Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 hey Blake, this is another design i came up with using 8 subs instead just in case you wanted backup idea.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
