You are going to want to build a Ported Enclosure. Specs are going to depend on how much space your willing to use in your vehicle. As far as 0/1 Gauge wire goes, I never use anything else other than Kicker. |

Bronze Member Username: John253aPost Number: 31 Registered: May-11 | This sub is only rated for 750wrms in a ported box, Your amp will do 2500wrms @2ohms or 1250wrms @4ohms So as your amp wont do 1ohm stable i take it you'll be wiring it @4ohm If you are going to use the hole back do you mean rear of cabin or pickup bed? If i were you and you only plane on 1 of theis sub idd downgrade amp to a zx1500.1 if going ported or zx2000.1 if sealed Bang for buck = ported both of they above amp will allow for a second sub to added latter if you want if this sub is a new 11 mdl specs are (including sub displacement) Sealed Compact 2cuft or 57ltrs =1000wrms max Sealed SQ 6cuft or 170ltrs =1000wrms Vented Compact 3cuft or 85ltrs =750wrms port 2.5"x16.25" x19.5"long Vented SQ 6cuft or 170ltrs =750wrms port 3.5"x16.25" x13.75"long Bandpass (specs given Jerimy Brown Technical Services) 3.1 cubic feet gross internal on the sealed side (subwoofer displacement included) 4.3 cubic feet gross internal on the ported side (port displacement included) 50 square inch port opening 7.5" of total port length This bandpass box plays extremely low. The sub can handle 1000 watts RMS in this enclosure. |

Bronze Member Username: John253aPost Number: 32 Registered: May-11 | My personal opinion would be to get 2, 3 or 4 (depending on budget) of thies sub if putting in rear/ extra cab section 2 in individual 3-6cuft ported(biggest possible) boxes running off zx1500.1 (series on sub 4ohm then parrell to amp 2ohm=750wrms ea) if in pickup bed 3 or 4 in 3-6cuft individual ported boxes running either zx2500.1 or 2x zx1500.1 (if 3 then zx2500.1 parrell on subs 1ohm then series on amp 3ohm=625wrms ea) (if 4 the 2x zx1500.1 series on sub 4ohm then parrell to amp 2ohm=750wrms ea) Just my 2cents |

Bronze Member Username: John253aPost Number: 37 Registered: May-11 | That amp is only able to run 2 ohm stable Youll need to wire it a 4 ohm so ill have 1250wrms then when yoy get another 1 wire it at 4 ohm and wire both in parrell to give 2ohm at amp Giving both subs 1250wrms each If you wire up at 1 ohm and connect youll be pushing around 5000wrms into that sub and the amp and sub wont last 5 minutes The people who sold you the set up was smart to sell you zx2500.1 as they knew youll be back buying subs all the time when you fry them If your dead set on that amp idd be using a sealed box but in my opinoin youll be disipointed with that sub in a sealed box as people with half the power will be loader then you in a ported If i were you idd run 3 in a ported box off that amp as youll find the test sheet supplied with that amp will show around 2900wrms anyway If you only want to run 2 sell/return amp and get the zx1500.1 put them in a 12cuft ported box (6cuft ea) and youll be around flat 150db mark If you dont mind replacing them ever year or less use the zx2500.1 yes they be loader in ported but youll fry them |
