my buddy steve has a pair of audiobahn aw120q (12") what would be the optimal airspace and port tunning for them

thanks chop

if these are 12s, i'd recommend 2-2.5 cubes per sub tuned to 34hz.

they are going to sound like ass regardless. tell them to throw them out and get something else.

thanks buddy im going to check the box right now

thanks chop

okay check my math out here...........

outside dimensions for the enclosure are ; 19"d X 17.5" W X 14" H (the mdf is 3/4")........so that is 2.02 cubic feet.

the port measures 12.5" H X 10.875" D X .875"W so if i subtract this and the inner port wall displacement from the enclosures, it puts me at a volume of 1.89 f^3 .........

if i did the math right the port is tunned at 32hz.

i am not sure of the displacement of the sub, but it looks like this box might be choking these subs some if i have done the math right...

thanks for the help.

That box is 1.82 ft^3 @ 28.58Hz before sub displacement (10.94in^2 of port area, the port area range is 22-29in^2).

AW120Q? or AW1200Q? ive never heard of the 120's before, and Ive owned the 1200's before. I had one 12 in a box that was around 3.5 tuned to 35 off around 400+ watts and it was pretty damn loud. and Ive never heard a Xcon, or a Q, or anything like that, but I had no complaints with the sound of it, because I was more interested in loud, which it was.

both the other series of bahns Ive had were both in pretty big boxes also. never gave any of them their actual RMS rating, but I always had them in a pretty big box. and they all lived through it.

I think I remember now they had the "excursion" "high excursion" and "ultra excursion" 120/1200/1205.

yeah it is the 120.....AW120Q.............. it is the excursion series, it does not hold it's own at all when being put up to a xcon, really no comparison on how much of a differance there is, those xcon's can sing!

the Q is a well built sub, I have only heard one in a less the perfect set-up and would like to think it had more potential.

your right, the Audiobauhns in a trunk with that 1500 on them is loud for a cheap install...... some folks are very quick to have a opportunity to talk crap about a certain product, i personally do not like thier brand, but i have seen some pretty dam slick installs from them.

the box he has is too small and the port is tuned way, way too low....

he is part of IAK so we want to get him a little bit better of a install, probably have mdizzle hit him up with a new box for now, and we have our eyes on a 18" FI BL , needs to be reconed but would be a sweet upgrade for the cash.

thanks for the input,

I am not gonna lie, I had 2 audiobahn aw1206 on a hifonics bxi2006d. For the money I spent I couldnt have been happier. This was my first install and didnt really care as much about the way it sounded but how loud it could get. Back then the louder it was the better it sounded. I traded them for a set of cvr 15s and to be honest with you the audiobahns actually hit more precisely than the cvrs did. The cvrs got a little sloppy.

there it is, we all been there in some way, happy with the basics, having fun! <audiobauhn user lol

it is my hopes to increase each of our members installs by late spring, that gives us 6 months.....steve has plenty of time to take a few steps and really gain a appreciation for better made equipment and properly installed componets.

i bet if he builds this new box for a while and then steps up to the FI, all withinthese next few months, he will definetly be a walking testimony to what SSA's forums have to offer.

I liked my BXI2006D's very much......... pushed a pair of SPLW15"s with them.....really wish i would of held on to that a little longer.

tune those fart mongers higher

lol, yeah we are planning on it, i think he will have the cash for the mdf next week, i am sure mdizzle will jump right in there on a box design.

ya i sold my bxi to my friend. I get a little jealous each time I see it. He has his blending with the blue neons in his car and it looks delish. It actually does rated power too despite what most people have say. Great amp for the money.
