im thinkin about these: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...w&rvm=ShowAllt

or one of these in a ported box: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...ures_and_specs

im 16 and on a budget so... let me know what yall think, and give me more suggestions! plz and thank you!

 

wow... blew the dub 0s eh?

im thinking a SE 10 in a giant ported box

 

bump... could i use this box http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=3523 and just widen up the holes to fit 12"s? the volume is right... and thats the box i already have for my blown 10"s

 

you can but dont do it. And the answer to your PM is no. Dont even think about it because thats not going to get you louder or anything close to it. Your subs were being over powered in the first place and your settings might have been wrong. Check the settings first other wise more blown speakers are in ur future

 

y not widen them out? also what should my settings be at?

 

why widen them in the first place? while 2 12s might be louder your going to want bigger 12s power wise and most of the time they will ask for a bigger box as well

 

alpine type e....sounds great with that amp

 

the volume is the same and i was just thinkin since i have the box already i could. i know your an audio guy and im not doubting u, i would just like to know y this is bad.

 

im not saying its "bad" im saying you need to figure out what your going to do first before going at your box with a jigsaw and a crazy eye

Look at the whole picture and what is going to be the best overall setup and how much your spending. If you are buying 2 cheap small subs theres a good chance they will blow again. If you buy 2 bigger subs it might be more expensive then a single big sub and a badass ported box. Think of all the variables first

 

i think i might go with those kenwoods. i dont have a whole lot of money but i think with an RMS of 800 watts and me pushing 400 to them, it might be a better idea. and what should my settings be at when tuning the subs??

 

80hz low pass
no bass boost
gain dependent on head unit

 

my HU is the pioneer FH-800BT and i dont have bass boost on my amp... thats in my HU. i have GAIN, BASS EQ, and LP FILTER on the AMP.

 

bass eq same ****

 

so turn the GAIN up and the BASS EQ down? and how do i know how to adjust the GAIN?

 

depends on what the gain is no wbut yes bass eq all the way down.

 

one of those kenwoods in a ported box or both in a sealed box?

 

a single kenwood 12 in a ported box would probably be louder then 2 in a sealed

 

would in a ported box be better than my 2 10"s that just blew?? i would only be pushing like half the wattage that the subs RMS is.

 

those kenwoods arent 800w rms and even if they were you only have 500w rms anyway

 

i had a 2000 watt us amp and 2 mojo 15's an a alpine pdx 4 channel amp

 

^^^ what?
