    What subs for first 4th order box?

    Well surprisingly the 8's take a darn huge ass box. My last one was 2.6 net I believe the Alpines and the Skars would take the same size box, of the 2 which do you think would be better output? The Skars are smaller but have a further excursion than the Alpines.

    What subs for first 4th order box?

    Biggest reason for me is I need to get all the sound in the cabin and none in the trunk. I have 2 compressors in my trunk (air ride) and my current setup they are loud as fuk in the car. My goals are to build a 4th, port into the cabin through the factory cutout int he deck, seal that off...

    What subs for first 4th order box?

    Well very interesting. I put the Skar's in the calculator just for the heck of it and they come out with a EPB of 33 Now I know on this board (and every other board) you all hate Skars. However I have been running them since they came out in 2010 or so and have had nothing but good results...

    What subs for first 4th order box?

    Thank you for teaching me that. Plugging in both the Jl and Alpine specs gives me EBP of over 60 on both of them So now I am at a loss. This is also weird as JL seems to really recommend this driver in a sealer box, I currently and running them in a seal box and am rather unhappy with the...

    What subs for first 4th order box?

    Sorry man but that is beyond my understanding. Could you explain it to me or perhaps tell me if the Alpines would work good as I think they are the best match for what I am looking for.

    What subs for first 4th order box?

    I want to build a 4th for my Lexus GS300 and port through the 9" hole in the rear deck that the factory sub used to be mounted in. I have a max of 5 cubes gross to work with. It would be nice to use some subs I currently own. I also have read that you want the subs as far from the port as...

    Best cheap low power sub?

    the low power is due to this being in a shop not a car, sadly 120 volt power is still very expensive.

    Help me with a pair of Skar ZVX 8's

    so 8's facing forward firing into the front seat, how much room between the subs and seat? Port firing towards door, how far away should port be from door? 2-8's on around 1,200 watts, is that enough? They can handle 2k but I don't have the correct ohm load.
