Infinity Kappa Perfect?

Arthur New member Username: Fearthisskyy Carrollton, Texas United states Post Number: 6 Registered: Apr-07	Posted on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 - 19:48 GMT I was wondering what the difference is between the 12dvq and 12vq. (400RMS each) Is the dual 4ohm load better than just the single 4ohm? and I also have a Kicker zx300.1 from my old system and plan on using that if I buy a pair of perfects. The Kicker puts out 350RMS @ 2ohm and 150RMS @ 4ohm. Should I sell that and buy a mono amp that puts out 800RMS for both subs or just get another Kicker zx300.1 for the other sub? (I don't know much about the way speaker impedance and stuff works)

As far as the subs, buy single voice coil if you want to wire it to 2ohm and buy dual voice coil if you want to wire it to 1ohm.

Do you think putting the Perfects in an SEALED enclosure (1.0 cubic feet per sub) would sound best? I'm trying to go for more SQ.

Sealed would be best for SQ, but they still sound incredible in ported applications. You gain more output and hardly lose any SQ in ported.

The Perfects hit harder when they are in a little bit bigger box than specified. Arguably the best mainstream sq woofer ever made.

Arthur Bronze Member Username: Fearthisskyy Carrollton, Texas United states Post Number: 15 Registered: Apr-07	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 00:15 GMT Is there a particular type of enclosure that works best in SUVs? (Ford Explorer) And for hip-hip/trance music would the subs sound better (hit harder & deeper) in a sealed or ported box?
Brad Warren Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamic San Diego Post Number: 822 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 00:16 GMT The ZX1000.1 would give each sub around 550 watts each which would be ideal. Get two dual 4's and wire them like this:
Arthur Bronze Member Username: Fearthisskyy Carrollton, Texas United states Post Number: 16 Registered: Apr-07	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 00:20 GMT I don't know if this is right, but will the ZX1000.1 put out a 1ohm load? It only said 500x1wrms @ 4ohm and 1000x1wrms @ 2ohms...
BeN Silver Member Username: Mgbcs Lincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 868 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 00:24 GMT No it won't work at 1 ohm.
Brad Warren Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamic San Diego Post Number: 823 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 00:25 GMT Yeah that's right, that Kicker isn't 1 ohm stable I always forget that. In that case just get two of the single vc model and wire them to 2 ohms.

Arthur Bronze Member Username: Fearthisskyy Carrollton, Texas United states Post Number: 18 Registered: Apr-07	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 00:34 GMT Thanks everybody. I am now just wondering for rap/hiphop music do subs sound best in a sealed or ported enclosure? and does a sealed or ported enclosure sound better in the back of a SUV?
trey goettling Silver Member Username: Trey4sports Post Number: 944 Registered: Sep-06	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 00:45 GMT go ported much better overall
Brad Warren Silver Member Username: The_image_dynamic San Diego Post Number: 828 Registered: Dec-06	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 00:47 GMT ^^^ Agreed, ports back, woofer up. And I am not really sure if the Perfect is your best choice now that we discover you are into rap...
Arthur Bronze Member Username: Fearthisskyy Carrollton, Texas United states Post Number: 19 Registered: Apr-07	Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 01:12 GMT Really? that sucks... what are some good subs for rap music?
