  1. I have one but I don't really know how to use it. The reason why I say that, is the last time I tried it on two brand new DVC 4 ohm icon subs and it kept telling me they were .5 ohm if I remember correctly. Also, I don't like used either, but the sub looks cosmetically 10/10 and he said it was never hooked up, just sat in storage for a year and that's why he is selling it.
  2. Yeah, I looked around online and found them brand new for around $220, so I will barter with the guy and see if I can get him to $130. How would I be able to tell if the sub is good or not though without it being in an enclosure?
  3. I have always wanted to try out a kicker L7 and I found a 12" Kicker S12L72 for $180 without an enclosure. Since I do not know how stiff the suspension is supposed to be on the sub since I've never owned one. How am I supposed to know if it's blown or even working correctly?
  4. I finally received the T/S Parameters. Sealed: 2.5 cu ft Ported: 3.8 cu ft with 12.5" x 2.5" port 19" long Impedance: 4 + 4 Resonant Frequency: 35 Vas: 1.91 Moving Mass: 121.38 Xmax: 0.352 Xmech: 0.53 Mechanical Q: 5.85 Electrical Q: 1.2 Total Q: 1.1 Sensitivity: 88 Voice Coil Diameter: 2 Motor Strength: 9.07 Magnet Weight: 53 Min.

  5. Awesome, thank you!!
  6. The enclosure dimensions are 32-1/8" wide, 15-1/16" tall, 15" deep. The port is 12-11/16" wide, 12-5/16" long (from front to back) and around 12-1/2" long from side to side. On the inside the port distance from the wall in the center of the box (since each sub has its own chamber) is 3-1/8" From port inside wall to the wall in the center of the box is 12-1/2"
  7. I just got an e-mail back from Memphis Audio and they wanted me to send them pics of my subs. That way they can send me the exact parameters of the subs. I decided I would give you all the information that I could, about my current enclosure, which might help in the new build. I made a sketch of the measurements in PowerPoint, but it says "You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file". If you know of another way that I can upload the Powerpoint drawing, please let me know and I will upload it, or I can just send the measurements to your e-mail. Here is a pic of the enclosure, first is the left side of the box. 2nd pic is the right side of the box.
  8. I just e-mailed them asking for optimal box spec and t/s parameters. I'll let you know when I hear back from them. . Hopefully they have quick customer service.
  9. I will do try and do all three. Thank you so much for saying "dont remove any factory wires just add them" I would have removed them haha. After I do the Big Three. It sounds like everyone is recommending me to keep the 2-12" Memphis Audio PR's. If I keep them, what type of enclosure should I build? I have access to a C&C machine so things should go pretty slick for building an enclosure.
  10. I like my current setup, but I just wanted to try doing more of a SPL setup to see if I like it better. When I say loud, I mean that I want it to move air inside the cabin and shake up my car lol. I don't have the big 3, everything is stock. If this is cheap to do, then I wouldn't mind trying to do it (since I've never done it). cheap = under $20
  11. I Currently have 2 12" Memphis Audio PR's in a dual ported box powered by a Cadence ZRS-8 with stock electrical. The system is in a 2011 Mazda 3 Sedan. I have been wanting to play around with new subs and I got a crazy good deal on a single 12" Kicker CVR CompVR Series sub with a sealed box that fits two 12" subs with their own chamber. When I ask this question, keep in mind that I want to keep my stock electrical. I am trying to find either a single or two subs that will get pretty loud off stock electrical. I want something that will get loud and I'm leaning more towards SPL. Should I build a custom box for the single 12" or should I sell the sub and the box and use that money to get another sub and build an enclosure for it? I don't know the measurements of my trunk at the moment, but the box in there now, is roughly 15" tall, 33" wide, and 23" deep and I would like to stay around those same dimensions, but I would consider going slightly larger. The height is pretty much as big as I can go and the width is maybe 4" from hitting both sides of my trunk.
  12. I will check that when if I end up going to look at them. I guess I should clarify my $275 for it. I told him I would trade my 2-12" Memphis Audio PR's (500 RMS Total) in a dual ported box plus $130 cash. That would be a fair trade, don't you think? Why not just use one of your Icons? Because, in order for it to hit hard it would dim my lights and I didn't want to kill my alternator and the W7 is less RMS, but if it also dims my lights as well then I know I can sell it for the same price if not more. I don't want to spend money on upgrading my alternator and battery since I plan on selling my car this year.

  14. I already have 2-12" SSA Icons but I am waiting to use those in the next vehicle I get since I don't have the trunk space for them right now. I'm not scared to buy a used sub since every sub that I've owned, except my Icons, have been used when I bought them.
