Posted September 15, 200519 yr i'm gonna be feeding each of my 12" rl-p's about 1200 watts rms a pice and want to build a sealed box. i'm thinking 1 cube each will work well. what do you guys think?
September 15, 200519 yr iceteebone! First off, allow me to thank you for the name-dropping you do around the various forums when people are looking to work a driver into an application that the RL-p will excel in, I really do appreciate it and am very happy that you are happy with your RL-pizzies! That said, I think you're on the right track and that the 1 cu ft net volume (1.18 cu ft gross internal) would be a good place to start given the ungodly amount of power you are throwing at that poor little RL-p You might even consider movin' up to 1.2 net if you want a little more extension down low, along with a little more output up high - but it's all up to you, with that amount of power the 1.0 net should do ya well.
September 16, 200519 yr 1.25 sealed will rock your world with 1200 watts, dude. Carefull with the gains though, with that much power on tap, clipping can kill your sub quick.
September 18, 200519 yr Author what if i made it 1 cube per sub and added polyfill? i would really like to gain as much room as possible in my trunk.
September 18, 200519 yr It could work, but you will give up some low-frequency extension along with overall output. I would strive for at least 1.2 cu ft gross internal volume w/ 1 to 2 lbs polyfill.
