Ported Box
http://www.dealercostcaraudio.com/sev12.aspx

 

i have 2 12" p2s running off of a 500rms kenwood amp at 2 ohms....

they are in a ported box, about 3 cubes for the box... its a single chamber with a single port

and they POUND lol, idk how one will sound though... should be good

 

meh looks ok other then the box. port looks way way to small

 

i thought that too, maybe it will keep more of the tight bass than

 

sorta not really small ass port like that means either its tuned way way to high and wont be very musical or play the low bass or its tuned correctly and will have alot of port noise. pic could be deceiving too... if u already bought it then just see what happens

 

Its all in the install as far as how good it will sound. I'm not a fan at all of prefab boxes especially ported or bandpass ones If you have time and place to put together a box yourself I'd highly recommend doing so. There are plenty of tutorials/how to's on the net to help you get started. The more time and effort you put it in the happier you will be with the result.

 

emperor is the tutorial id go by. lol. i can say eggs arent fryable and post it on the net, just because someone reads it on here doesnt mean its true.

this guys been giving sound equipment advice for the 3 years ive been on here and i havnt heard one person complain or question the advice he has given. id trust what he says

 

damnt, i just hope it doesnt sound like ****. and has more pound than the stock one

 

anything will sound better than the stock one, it just might not be used to its full potential know what i mean?

 

mmmm not a fan of Power Acoustik, i gave them two tries over the last few years and neither amp performed nor lasted more than a week.

As for the box, interesting but i doubt that tiny port is enough.

on those two u can definitely find better for the price.

the deck is aight, although for a little bit more you could have a dank deck(look at spec's and think for the future).

 

yeah that box will prob sound like ball sack... and goto car audio shops then buying that **** online... plus you get a warrenty

 

I'm not sure if this is directed to me to discredit my advice, but I've been giving sound equipment advice for a lot longer than 3 years and been giving advice on here for 3 years myself. My current sub setup (amp, box, and subs) are over 9 years old been in two different cars, still keeps a smile on my face, and can out do a lot of other systems I've heard for the money I spent. If you disagree with what I posted that's fine with me and you can continue to be close minded. I put a lot time into putting it together and its paid off greatly. I used to be just like venum_us_2002 in that I originally was gonna by whole bunch of random flea market items and throw it in my trunk but I decided to listen to the gurus and save up more and take my time with it.

It won't sound like s*** until you hear better, but in general its a bad idea to throw a random sub in a random ported box. It's best to build a box around T/S parameters of the sub and what your ears like to hear. I don't see any specs on that box other than vol it may work great with that sub, but I highly doubt it.

 

no it was not directed at you so unwedge your panties
