2009 Malibu Build (2 B2 Audio CC 12")

[Optimus_Prime 30]

Also trying to figure out if It would be possible to run 3 12's in the trunk somehow.

Quick update, bought a DC 5.0K yesterday, hope it gets here before next Friday before I fly out to San Fran for a friends wedding.

the day i changed my mind you had bought this. lol

LOL Yup, had cash in hand ready to go finally. I seen you getting close to that 160 mark and loving your amps. I hope this is my ticket to jumping that 150 this time.

My goal when this is all said and done is to be anywhere from 152-55 that's about all i think i could handle in a daily.

[16K 159]

ya your gonna need another batt or 2 to run 5k....

Ya for sure, for now ill just go easy on the gain until i can get a couple xp 3000's and a mechman alt.

sounds like a good plan

Also trying to figure out if It would be possible to run 3 12's in the trunk somehow.

well with 3 dual 2 ohm subs you can get 1.34 ohms at the amp...

with 3 dual 1 ohm subs you can get either .67 ohms or 1.5 ohms at the amp...

Exactly what i was thinking, .67 on one amp and if i get the other strap em at 1.5.

should work perfect. i know steve is running his dc5k's at .5 ohms so you should be good with .67

[Optimus_Prime 30]

I just wish we had some shows, and more car audio enthusiasts around here. Nearest events happen 200+ miles from me.

Guess it Should not be hard to get some recognition in my state, if I can pull off some good numbers from a trunk.

Just jumped of my plane and here is what was waiting for me at home.

[Optimus_Prime 30]

I will try and have it installed by this weekend.

I will let you know, but it may be some time before I make the decision to sell if i even end up selling.

LOL, whats you looking at the 7.5's or 9.0's

[KyleBrown 121]

nice amp sir!

[Optimus_Prime 30]

nice amp sir!

Thanks man, Now i need a new box built, Im pretty sure i have hit the limit of its designed purpose.

Mmm. Something like that

[Optimus_Prime 30]

Need some opinions and input about my current enclosure, seems as if this design has been maxed out as far as using 5krms+ and specs recommended from DC for the M2's any and all help would be greatly appreciated, From what I can gather seems to be a bit over sized for the power i am using.

[Notorious97200 339]

Maybe I missed it, but what score did you reach with your different setups ?

Been metered yet ?

[Optimus_Prime 30]

Never actually metered any of them, never built any of my setups for numbers, but my best guess is that they ranged from 45-48.

[Optimus_Prime 30]

Messed around with the new setup a bit today, took some video, but my new phone camera sucks, and does not pick up flex at all really. But from what I saw, felt and heard it is deff louder than the previous setup which was expected. What I can tell you so far is that the subs sound really smooth and dig down low with authority and ease, I did get them a lil stinky but no harm done. Hopefully soon i will have more wire runs and batts, as well as a 300 amp alt. For now I am happy with it and it will deff come alive when I beef up the electrical. Oh ya and was really surprised after messing with it for a while the amp was cool to the touch.

[Optimus_Prime 30]

Been thinking lately, especially since the new subs and amp are being used in the old enclosure, a new enclosure is in need. Although in my situation the new subs require smaller airspace, and would be a good thing, will using less port area from what i have now affect output, both audibly and the so called quest to a hairtrick, can floater etc. My goal is to get to be a low note monster for daily.

More port area and more box volume = more efficient. So yes you will lose output and "move less air". How much of a difference would really just depend on how much of a change you are talking about. On the flip side having them in too big of a box will reduce power handling and will cause you to reach the drivers limits more quickly.

I was thinking of downsizing the chamber a little bit, and keeping the port big as possible.
