Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 448 Registered: Apr-05 | 1cu/ft sealed man. Build it with 3/4" MDF and double up the front. Joint the sides together, use liquid nails, screw, etc. Do a d@mn good job, that sub will tear most sealed boxes apart at full throttle! And that's 1cu/ft AFTER the sub gets put in. And I think the sub takes .9 cu/ft. Dunno, I'd have to find my spec sheet... |

|
Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 453 Registered: Apr-05 | That's what Eclipse told me. They sound great ported. If you go ported, tune them for 32Hz, and give 'em so cu/ft! |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1678 Registered: Feb-05 | How many cu ft for the TI 12 and 15 whould you say ? |

Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 457 Registered: Apr-05 | As many as you have room for. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1680 Registered: Feb-05 | I have a crossfire vr1000d which i will power one of these with. It whould be going into a sedan trunk and im not sure what is recommended for this sub ported as far as cu ft. I emailed eclipse but im waiting for a answer. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1681 Registered: Feb-05 | By the way how does the Eclipse TI sound. What subs can you compare it to ? How is the spl and sq of it ported? Trying to get an idea before i buy one. |

Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 464 Registered: Apr-05 | MO: I have tried almost every sub out there, or heard every sub out there. I've seen/heard TONS of different types of setups. And honestly, the Eclipse is the only sub I'll probably ever use anymore. It can be an SQ OR SPL sub. Or a mixture of both. I have two 12" Ti's in a 4cu/ft boxes tuned to 32Hz, and it hits hard enough that you have a hard time breathing... You can't see straight, etc. And I can still listen to rock and roll on it :D. Sealed, you will loose some db, but honestly, it's d@mn loud with enough power. And it has GREAT extension. Also, they can handle 1,500 WRMS if it's clean power. They're beasts, and highly underrated. To compare it... They're better than anything Fosgate ever made. The RE XX is a bit louder. For the "regular" non-comptetion market, it's up in the top. But they're well-built, titanium, and the newer ones can have the voice coil and magnet changed so if you blow it, you can just "rebuild" it. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1683 Registered: Feb-05 | Thanks for the info jake, that is appreciated coming from your experience with subs. What do you think about 1 15 ti ported ? THink i can fit it in a accord or camry and still sound good or should i stay with a 12 ti ported ? |
|
Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 466 Registered: Apr-05 | No problem! A 15" will have more SPL than SQ. You can get a 12" to sound good, yet be loud a lot easier. But if you want SPL, a 15" is the way to go. If you're going with one sub, then you can fit either a 12 or a 15 a small car. It's when you get into multiple subs you have troubles... |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1684 Registered: Feb-05 | What do you suggest considering its going into a camry or accord trunk ? TI 12 OR TI 15 and whould you happen to know how many cu ft to go with and what freq tune ? I listen to mostly rap and some rock. |
|
Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 475 Registered: Apr-05 | I'd go 32Hz ported. Probably 4 cu/ft. This is just me... It'll hit, but retain some SQ. You'll probably have to turn the bass down for rock and roll. And I dunno about 12 or 15. That's personal opinion. The 15 will take more power, and is more SPL than SQ. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1686 Registered: Feb-05 | Jake they both are 750 rms. The 15 still takes more power ? I do have a Avalanche 15 so whould it be good to stick with a 15 TI ? http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2004 |
|
Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 486 Registered: Apr-05 | They say 750 rms, but it's more. Just call Eclipse and ask to talk to a tech. They'll tell you amazing things about when they were testing these subs. And I'm not sure what you're talking about with the Avalanche? Also: http://www.electronicgiant.net/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1128 Cheaper :D |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 1687 Registered: Feb-05 | Yeah i saw it at electronicgiant also but wasnt sure if they were a good place to buy from. What amplifier whould be a good match for the Eclipse 15 ti ? What i was saying about the Avalanche 15 was that i also own that and a crossfire vr1000d and running it at 1 ohm and i was wondering how it whould compare to the 15 ti in terms of sq and spl... |

Bronze Member Username: UsnavyEVERETT, WA US Post Number: 30 Registered: Jul-05 | Ok well I think that I messed up on the box. it is 12x18x10.5 sealed. I wood glued it and used fiberglass on the inside to stengthen and seal it. I think that it is to small though. Almost done with the install of the Utopia 165w speaks. I have pics of the unfinished box and the equipment going in if you guys want to see them |

Silver Member Username: Kd7nfrMontpelier, ID United States Post Number: 489 Registered: Apr-05 | Sure, lets see pictures. A good match for that sub is the DA7122. Their amps are designed for their subs. The DA7232 is designed to run two of their subs. http://www.eclipse-web.com/amp/da7122.html That amp should be alright for now, but I'd get something better in the long run. |
