I have two Infinity 1230W (300Wrms each) and so far they've been in a sealed box I got for a good price(meaning prefab). Now I'm looking to get a better box. Are these subs better for a sealed or ported box? I'm looking for sql.
the Qts of my RE12's is .38. Will that work good with a sealed box? I heard a lot of people putting in a ported tuned to 32Hz but I think I am gonna do a 1.5 cubic foot per chamber sealed box. Should that do pretty good for them?
And what should it be tuned to? It plays everything but country, my amp is underpowering them, it's a Rockford P3001, but I'm not pushing it to the limit as it is. The amp has no subsonic filter just settings for the LPF
Ok but for future, can you recommend some amps that are about 600-700Wrms at 2 ohms mono that has a subsonic filter? Budget would be pretty low, about 150-200 shipped off ebay, also what kind of range should the box be tuned to?
tune the box to about 34Hz. as for the amp you'll have to do the shopping. ebay pricing fluctuates so much it's not even worth trying to guess waht something will sell for. I don't trust ebay for most audio products. too many losers on ebay unloading blown or fried gear on unsuspecting people looking for deals too good to be true.
OK, I see how those filters work. I see they have 20 and 30Hz high pass. Which would you recommend and would you have the box tuned down to 30Hz with the 30Hz filter? and hopefully last question do ported boxes boost output at all frequencies above tuned or just a narrow range?
yeah use the 30Hz filter. and a ported box peaks in output near the tuned frequency.. the response starts at the LPF point, say 80Hz or so.. and gently climbs a little, then near the tuned freq, it spikes a bit, then rolls off sharply below that point. if I had a graph of one with cabin gain factored in I'd upload it here but I don't at the moment
Glasswolf, I found the ebay store for harrison labs (the manufacturer of the FMOD's you recommended) my questoin is they have a subsonic filter listed that is rated at 37Hz, 18dB/octave slope for 22.50. Sound like a good thing for me? and would I get box tuned for 37 then? sorry for all the questions but it's the only way to learn.

I need some blueprint for my 10"kicker comp sub to fit behind my Chevy S10, i only have 7-8" behind rear seat though :S, so could u possibly give me some websites to places where u can get dimensions drawn up!
