Posted June 6, 200817 yr I'm putting my first system in the backseat of my 2004 Ford F150. What I would like to do is put 2 BL12's back there and run them off of either a Kicker ZX2500.1 or 2 ZX1000.1's, but I have several questions. I want to wire them to 2ohms to get the full potential out of my amps, so will I need to get the subs with dual 1 or dual 2 ohm voice coils?As far as a box goes, I plan on getting a custom slot ported box made. I ran my measurements through a program and it came back with these specs:Net Airspace- 2.5 cu. ft. per subPort Volume- 1.586 cu. ft.Port Area- 80.39 sq. in.Tuning- 32 HzWill these specs satisfy these subs?Also as far electrical goes, I plan on doing the big three and a HO alternator when I can afford it...what else should I do? I've got stock electrical right now and my alternator is either 110 amps or 130 amps.I know I've got alot of questions, but I truely appreciate any help that I can get.
June 6, 200817 yr You need DVC 2 ohm subwoofers to end up at a final 2 ohm load.For electrical, you should also look into one, to two better batteries than what you have stock.
June 6, 200817 yr Author Just as a little update, the amp I will be using to push my system will be a Kicker KX2500.1...picked it up used for $463 including shipping.On the electrical end I have already upgraded my battery to an Everstart Maxx that's rated at 850 cranking amps and 700 cold cranking amps, but I plan on having a yellow top in the back dedicated to the amp.
