Nick_sq Unregistered guest | Series each sub so you get 12 ohms on each sub, then when you connect them all together you should end up with 3 ohms. LOL, dont series them indefinatley, you will get 36 ohms! |

Silver Member Username: FishyTamarac, FL USA Post Number: 608 Registered: Sep-04 | Just a thought, but its usually not a good idea SQ-wise to run different size, model, or impedance subs together at the same frequency. It may "muddy" up your bass a bit. It'll be loud as heck regardless. I'm sure Jonathan or someone could comment further. -Fishy |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1510 Registered: Aug-04 | Yeah, I thought about that, but I figured I'd just answer his question. After all they're just audiobahn's. |

Silver Member Username: FishyTamarac, FL USA Post Number: 609 Registered: Sep-04 | lol, I didn't wanna be the one to say that, but now that the cat's out of the bag I guess sound quality really isn't such a big issue. I'm not sure I'd spend a whole helluva lot on that custom enclosure however unless its a two/three piece jobby where you can remove that 12 if necessary. Otherwise I guess an unused 12 inch enclosure would make a nice planter. You could be the first one on your block to have a kickorz ficus tree growin in the back of your ride. No, don't mind me. It'll probably just sound fine. -Fishy :P |
