The gains are set for normal listening levels. I was hopingng I could get a sub that could get louder than mine now. There signal isn't even clipping, they just bottom out

So even if I get a sub that can take more power I still won't be able to turn it up past what I can now? I have to much power for subs right now.

I can't, you have no idea about my trunk, trust me, this is the best I can do with the boxes. I'm not doing that again anyway, I'm just looking subs that can take more of a pounding than CVRs

Cant make the install any better.its been moved around to the best point, seats don't fold, and gains are set for good listning music. I'm not looking for more power from an amp, I'm keeping that, its just overpowering my subs and I can't turn it up half way without the subs bottoming out. I'm looking for subs that can handle the power I already have

im looking to spend no more than $130 per sub unless its completely worth it. Kicker CompR (Rated 600 RMS) Sundown E (Rated 400 RMS) Pioneer TS-W2502D4 (Rated 800 RMS) Alpine SWS (Rated 500 RMS) Those are my top options as of right now. If its not worth the upgrade from CVRs then I will accpet my fate, but if I can get some more output than what I have, that would be great! I am mostly looking for a sub that can take more power, because mine dont take as much as i would like. there rated for 400rms, recomendeds I give them 300 in a decent ported enclosure, and mine is a bit on the smaller side for them.

Well right now, im not a fan of kicker anymore. I can push the subs to their max with the amp, but people at my school are much louder with crappy brands and setups. My friend has a single 10 on less than half the power and its louder than mine... its insaine. I want MORE output, With my gains set now correctly, I get up to half volume on my headunit (25 of 50) and I max out my subs. (I listen to the radio at 15-20) I want subs that can handle that normal volume around 15-20 but can go past 25 without blowing up. I want more output! Dont get me wrong, they get loud, and sound good at normal listning levels, but they dont get as loud as my friends subs. I also notice many of the other people at my school have a large xmax on their subs. I can see them move a good bit, mine dont seem to move near as much.

So today is the LAST day?

lol I didnt, I calculated the length for 1 single port... and just wanted to put 2 in. I cant use 2.5, they only carry 2 inch and 3 inch pipe... which would be better? 2 inch pipe needs 6.8 inches long for the port. 3 inch pipe needs 16.4 inches long of port. I will probably end up sticking with a single port, but which size should I use?

I have made a ported box just over 1 cubic foot. This is for a 400rms, 10 inch sub. For a 2.5 inch wide pipe, I need 11 inches long for a 32 hz tune. IS IT OKAY TO USE 2 PORTS? and what type of pipe do I get? Can I just run to home depot, find a strong looking 2.5inch wide pipe, and go from there? and are 2 ports okay to use, even if there the same length?

My local best buy ask for like $160-$200 per box. No thanks! I'm getting 2 customs made for free from my friend who is a professional carpenter. I could design a box later for you when I get home. Just let me know whats the max size the box can be (space limitations) and how close to SPL or SQ you want. I can give you the dimensions

Got it now. I raised the front and back height by 1 inch. Raised the port to 1 inch tall now. And 28 inches of port so its 33hz. Much better

I will be building 2 of these boxes sometime in the next week. There are matched to fit my tiny trunk (00 Mustang Vert)Each is 0.86896 cubic feet, tuned to 32 or 33hz. Each will house a CompVR 10 inch sub, Seeing around 400rms each. The boxes are from a friend so they will be free. There replacing prefab sealed boxes about .8 cubes I would like to know if theres anything wrong with my design. The port is 12.5 inches wide, by half an inch tall. It extends all the way until it is half an inch from the back wall.

What would be better???? 12.5x1 inch port, that goes for 27.8 inches (35hz) OR 1 (maybe 2) round ports 2.5inches, and have them be 12 inches long? (33hz) Id rahter build the sloted box, and I believe it will sound allot better than my original half inch port design

I thought about raising the box so I can make a 12.5 x 1inch port, but it says I need 27.8 inches of port for 35hz tune... would this possible work better? I could do that... I think I can raise the cubic feet to about 9-9.5, and tune around 35hz with 27 inches of port? This seems more reasonable. OR, 1 (or 2?) Round ports. 2.5 inch round port, 12 inches long for a 33hz tune? Is this the better option???

I know the box is not near optimal, but il try it out and see how I like it. Worse case, I seal it up and I now have a box that fits much better into my trunk thatn the prefabs that cant slide back more than a few inches.

Im looking for more output from the small space I have. Ported is the way everyones telling me to go, and Iv always agreed after hearing other systems, its just the same problem iv always had... SPACE. This is as big as a box im going to get. Its been measured and it will be free to make. Honestly I dotn care if it gets any lower than it does now, I want MORE output. *I know the ports small, but im looking for a little more. im NOT expecting a large jump in DBs. Just a small noticible difference. And im also trying to get rid of these prefab boxes that dont really fit right in my trunk. iv finally hit the chance to get a free box made. (I could always take out the port and seal it if im not happy)

I also thought about adding another piece on top of that. 12.5 wide, and 3 inches tall. It would add to the port area by a little but im not sure it would be worth it? Would this help at all?

I know the port is going to be a problem but thats really all I can do with what I have. Will it be better than the sealed prefab box im using now at least? It goes down to like 35hz before I cant hear it anymore

I would do something around .5-.7 cubic feet for spl Tuned around 35 Hz for more spl, but 32hz would be more resonable for everyday. Either way would be a good setup and you won't be dissapointed.

Small sealed = more spl. Larger sealed = deeper. Only a little tho, I would jsut find a nice sloted box

This looks really nice, im following this hope it goes well, I would go Sundown with the subs. Il look more into this later to see about which ones. Your final setup is a SAZ3000d at 2ohms? (just to make sure)

Yessssss, very nice. Thanks!

not bad... not bad at all. Thanks!

how much? under $200? or something like that? probably way better the Sundown
