    Looking for some help designing a new box for my sub. I listen to a lot of rock/metal, but I do like rap and would like to be pretty loud. Any help with sub placement, volume, what to tune it to would be great. also it is in a blazer. As of now its in a sealed box around 2.6 cube with a Hifonics 1208d and i know it has so much more potential. Thanks and if any other info is need please let me know

    Sooo, I am now in the process of designing my box for a single 10" sub down firing in a ported enclosure. I got the rough idea for the design from those AudioFire boxes for trucks. The sub will be down firing right behind the center console, the main box will go up to right above the rear seat from the ground, the port would then go from the box to the back of the seat and do a 90 degree and back towards the front seat. So, the port is going to be pretty much external from the main portion of the box....my question is, how do I go about figuring out the tuning frequency of this port? It is going to be a fairly thin port but pretty long and I am just not to sure. At th…

    Soon im doing a blowthrough in my 97' single cab s10. I need an opinion on an amp to go with the 18" Fi car audio btl. I was thinking of the rockford fosgate t20001bd. I have no idea what amp and how to wire it right to get the right power to the sub. With that amp i would wire it at 1 ohm. is that the best way to go. I know if i wire it up at 4ohm i need alot bigger amp... any suggustions.

    I guess my original post got lost, but was looking for some help with my choice of amps. I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima, and I have one BL 15 now and I want to get another one. So for 2 BLs I know I will have to upgrade my amp. I dont have a HO Alt, so the SAZ 3000 would be out of the picture (right now anyway) how would a SAZ1500D push 2 BL 15s? what other amps do you recommend? All name brands are welcome. Also how much do HO Alts usually run? Thanks

    Just a quick question, I planning on buying a 12" Q w/BP and I need to build an enclosure, going sealed. With dimensions of 19w 13h 11d, do I need to add int bracing? I was thinking just a strip of 2x2 along the top, back, and bottom. If it doesn't need bracing I can just make the box a little smaller to give the same volume Thanks, Chris

    ok so heres the deal. I currently have a 12" btl in a 2.25 @ 32 enclosure being run off a crunch gp3000pro. It is loud don't get me wrong, but of course I am always looking for a little more. So I am thinking of building a new enclosure for it and I am just looking for ideas. Thought about tuning to around 35, but not sure if it would be worth it or not. This is the first single sub set up I have had so maybe I am just setting my expectations to high, i dunno. I figure I might as well try a new enclosure before I jump into a whole new set up, so any suggestions are welcome!
