April 14, 201213 yr Author Also trying to figure out if It would be possible to run 3 12's in the trunk somehow.
April 14, 201213 yr Quick update, bought a DC 5.0K yesterday, hope it gets here before next Friday before I fly out to San Fran for a friends wedding.the day i changed my mind you had bought this. lol

I seen you getting close to that 160 mark and loving your amps. I hope this is my ticket to jumping that 150 this time. Edited April 14, 201213 yr by Optimus_Prime
April 14, 201213 yr Author My goal when this is all said and done is to be anywhere from 152-55 that's about all i think i could handle in a daily.
April 14, 201213 yr ya your gonna need another batt or 2 to run 5k....Ya for sure, for now ill just go easy on the gain until i can get a couple xp 3000's and a mechman alt.sounds like a good plan Also trying to figure out if It would be possible to run 3 12's in the trunk somehow.well with 3 dual 2 ohm subs you can get 1.34 ohms at the amp...with 3 dual 1 ohm subs you can get either .67 ohms or 1.5 ohms at the amp...

April 14, 201213 yr Exactly what i was thinking, .67 on one amp and if i get the other strap em at 1.5.should work perfect. i know steve is running his dc5k's at .5 ohms so you should be good with .67
April 14, 201213 yr Author I just wish we had some shows, and more car audio enthusiasts around here. Nearest events happen 200+ miles from me.Guess it Should not be hard to get some recognition in my state, if I can pull off some good numbers from a trunk. Edited April 14, 201213 yr by Optimus_Prime
April 24, 201213 yr Author If you sell it let me know. Looking for two but are on back orderI will let you know, but it may be some time before I make the decision to sell if i even end up selling.

April 24, 201213 yr Author nice amp sir!Thanks man, Now i need a new box built, Im pretty sure i have hit the limit of its designed purpose.

April 25, 201213 yr Author Need some opinions and input about my current enclosure, seems as if this design has been maxed out as far as using 5krms+ and specs recommended from DC for the M2's any and all help would be greatly appreciated, From what I can gather seems to be a bit over sized for the power i am using.
April 25, 201213 yr Maybe I missed it, but what score did you reach with your different setups ?Been metered yet ?
April 25, 201213 yr Author Never actually metered any of them, never built any of my setups for numbers, but my best guess is that they ranged from 45-48.
April 30, 201213 yr Author Messed around with the new setup a bit today, took some video, but my new phone camera sucks, and does not pick up flex at all really. But from what I saw, felt and heard it is deff louder than the previous setup which was expected. What I can tell you so far is that the subs sound really smooth and dig down low with authority and ease, I did get them a lil stinky but no harm done. Hopefully soon i will have more wire runs and batts, as well as a 300 amp alt. For now I am happy with it and it will deff come alive when I beef up the electrical. Oh ya and was really surprised after messing with it for a while the amp was cool to the touch.
April 30, 201213 yr Author Been thinking lately, especially since the new subs and amp are being used in the old enclosure, a new enclosure is in need. Although in my situation the new subs require smaller airspace, and would be a good thing, will using less port area from what i have now affect output, both audibly and the so called quest to a hairtrick, can floater etc. My goal is to get to be a low note monster for daily.

So yes you will lose output and "move less air". How much of a difference would really just depend on how much of a change you are talking about. On the flip side having them in too big of a box will reduce power handling and will cause you to reach the drivers limits more quickly.
