    Hey everyone. I am a new member but have been reading a lot of threads here for a while. I recently purchased a 12'' SSD with the copper coil option for my 03 S-10 ext cab. I plan on throwing the recommended RMS or more at it. I am now struggling to figure out what type of enclosure to build for it. I have read good things about sealed and ported for this subwoofer. My goal is to have a good sounding setup that has the potential to be loud if I felt the need. I want to build a ported enclosure but am afraid of port noise seeing the enclosure is in the cab with me. I can build a sealed enclosure also pending peoples thoughts on this. If anyone with knowledge on desig…

  7. I was told I can wire this in series to achieve 2ohms. But when I looked up a diagram for the wiring, it didn't make any sense. can someonen post a link of a good diagram? The amp is rated at 1200 watts @2ohms. rms. I figured this would be a perfect match for the Q. Thanks for the help.

    I'm pretty sure this isn't possible but, I was wondering if the Q series was universal. I have a Q10 D1 coils paired with a Sundown sae-1000D wired at 2ohms. I know that some of the subs you can change with a recone. Otherwise anyone know some magical way to get a 1ohm load on my amp haha.

    Ok, I give up. I need some more direction in building a ported enclosure for my Q10. Right now, it has about .5ft^3 in a sealed enclosure and I really love the way it sounds, I would just like it a little louder (or alot haha.) But anyway, this is in an extended cab S10. I have to admit, its alittle underpowered with my Sundown sae-1000d because it wired at 2ohms. So it gets about 600rms. Any ideas? I would like to use tube for my ports if possible, not really a fan of slot ports, but i'm open to anything. Thanks, Mike B.

I had a DD 9515G, but everytime i talk to them via e-mail or on the phone their customer service is severely lacking lately. So i sold it. I would like to run one of the BTL's in the DD's place daily in a T-line Enclosure, and then in a standard slot ported, or possibly kerf ported enclosure for when i wanna meter it. What kind of options are gonna be available, and what the specifics of them.

  23. Started by QuestionMan,

    What's the smallest you think i could go with a BL 18. I'd probably wire down to 2 ohms and get about 1100 out of my amp if i went sealed. I've got some extra wood from the real box, and i thought that i could make a box to take up only one seat for when i want to take an extra person, but still have some sound. I don't see a ported working because i couldnt make the port big enough i dont think, maybe i'm wrong. Anybody ever sealed a BL 18? I doubt too many have, but what would it sound like? (also, when i say small, max dimensions that id like to use are: 23H*17-18D*22W, which is 4.4 cu ft after wood displacement.) PS: regular box is 6 cu ft tuned to 34 hz, so please d…

    hey all. i want as big of a sub as possible but the only problem is that i will have only 16.5" of height in my trunk. thats means if i get a bl 15 my sub will be very close to touching the wood (height wise) in my subwoofer encloser. is it bad if the sub doesnt have a lot of clearance height wise in its encloser or does that only apply sideways in corelation to the port. just wondering if i should be ok soundwise with a tight box or will i sacrifise sound quality by doing this and just stick to getting a bl12. thx -phil

  25. i don't really want to take up the whole back window up i did some measurements and i can do a box that's 52.5W x 24.5H x 16.5 deep. externally that's 12.28 Cuft 10.18 cuft internal. After displacements of the 2 18's and 3 6 inch aeroports that are 12 inches long each it gives it an internal volume of 9.083. will this be enough for 2 18's for bass racing the 140-149.9 class? i am ordering 4 Sundown 1500's when jacob gets the new ones in. i plan on strapping at 1.4 so each amp will see .7. i also will have 6 optima group 31 yellow top batteries.
