    Hello everyone, I have a question regarding ported enclosures. I currenly have 2 Dcon 12s in a ported enclosure, 1.75 cubes per sub tuned to 33hz. The box was made by a local shop and fits my trunk like a glove. The guy at the shop measured my trunk and that's what fit. The dcons pound for a pair of 12s being powered by only 500 watts. I'd really like to upgrade my output by getting an Icon or Xcon 15, but height size it wouldn't fit which poses my question, how would an up firing subwoofer enclosure sound in a trunk compared to the sub facing the rear? I'm pretty confident an up firing box wound fit my trunk. How would an Xcon sound in 3.75 cubes ported to about 33hz?

    Well I am currently laid off work so I told my wife I would add some bump to her ride. Seemed easy enough at the time. Then I started shopping around, and now I am losing my mind. I have looked at so many subs I think my brain is going to explode. I'm just wondering where to start. I would like to run 2 12's ported if possible, if not Ill drop down to 10's. Rough dimensions are 32Wx15Hx?. I can probably go wider, but just a starting point. I decided I will build a box for the first time so whatever I go with hopefully someone can help out with a good box design, or point me in the right direction. My wife will be happy with anything, she heard 2 12" cvx ported and …

    Hey guys, I have an '01 sonoma reg. cab. I'm looking for some opinions on what subs to run in it. I have roughly 1.67cf internal space to work with. I'm leaning toward a single 10 ported, but I'm open to suggestions. The sub(s) will be seeing around 1000-1200watts total. I'm more of a spl than sq guy so I'm thinking ported is the way to go. Also, I'm 6'-4" so leg room is nice to have. Anymore than one or two clicks and I'll be eating the dash. I've thought about a blow-thru, but I've had them before and really want to try and do this without cutting up my truck. Thanks in advance for your input. -Lee

    I'm getting 2x DC Audio 15" LVL4 XL's for my '91 Acura Integra.... My plan is to build a 7ft3 box tuned to 30hz and fire the subs up (closer to the front of the car..about where the back seat would normally be) and the port up (closer to the rear glass)... I'm gonna push em with 2x Hifonics BRZ2400.1D's @ 1ohm.... my question is kinda simple... more or less, an opinion from experience... has anyone ran sub up, port up...and if so, how did it sound? I always ran sub up, port back or sub back, port back... this is my first time firing both up. I'm thinking it should hit nicely off that hatch. Just wanted to get experienced opinions. Thanks guys.

    Hi Guys I live in Houston and I'm considering buying some magnums but I would love to hear them first. If there is anyone in the Houston area that would like to meet up with me to let me hear their Magnum(s) I would really appreciate. I just joined this board but I've been posting on caf, sin and the 12volt.com for a while. feel free to shoot me an email and I will be glad to give you my phone number. I would really like to hear one or two of the subs so I could make a decision on what to put in my car next.

    Right now I have an Icon 15 in 3.5 cubes tuned to 34hz being powered by a JBL GTO 1201.II amp that puts out 1100 watts at 2 ohms and it sounds good. How would a FI BL 15 sound in my current box with my current power? I know they get louder than the Icons but do they sound good? If they have decent to good SQ I might want to swap in favor of more output, that's if my amp and box would even be good for the BL.
