Help with my newest purchase...

Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 1470 Registered: Dec-06 | I just purchased two RL-i 8" DVC 4-ohm subs. I am thinking about getting a Rockford t5001bd amp to power it unless someone has a better idea. Also, what would you guys recommend for a box? I can follow what's on the site, but I would be interested to know any other opinions as far as size and tuning. I was a good SQL ported box. Thanks guys |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 2570 Registered: Dec-06 | WTF my post went away. Well what I basically said is put them in a divided sealed box with .6 cubes for each. Also that RF amp only will put out 250 per which is not enough. Get this amp and wire the subs for a 1 ohm total load. http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=373 |

Gold Member Username: The_image_dynamicSan Diego Post Number: 2571 Registered: Dec-06 | Yes go .6 sealed, those 8's will blow your mind. Buy Mike's Sundown, it would be perfect. |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 1474 Registered: Dec-06 | Mike...I don't know what to tell you at the moment. I don't know if I want to spend $280 for an amp on this setup. I am trying to go a little cheaper, and that is why I picked out the Rockford. I will deffinitely keep that in mind. I know it's a great amp and great deal, I just don't know yet. Thanks man. Anyone else have an opinion? Especially on the box? (Thanks Brad, BTW) |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindVENGEFUL SPIRIT Post Number: 14622 Registered: Oct-05 | 0.5 cu ft net volume sealed 0.3 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 35 Hz straight from their site. its weird how the ported box is smaller than the sealed. but thats what mike at soundsplinter wants so i would do it like that. |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 1476 Registered: Dec-06 | OK. Well I will go by the site then. Should I go sealed or ported then? I want SQL and brad suggested sealed, which suppised me. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindVENGEFUL SPIRIT Post Number: 14623 Registered: Oct-05 | go sealed man. the output will surprise you. the cool thing about it is if you don't like it sealed, you can make a hole and put a single aeroport in there. since the sealed box and the ported box are similiar. the port will take up some space in the box so your displacement will drop. |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 1477 Registered: Dec-06 | Good deal. With these subs then, output is pretty similar sealed and ported? Impressive. |

Thinkin on runnin 2 FI Q's 12", off 2 Memphis 1000w amps, but might require alt upgrade, since I will be runnin the rest of the setup off a memphis a/b amp. 3 amps total!!! Is there a more efficient setup to get sick sql? |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 1478 Registered: Dec-06 | Bump for final opinions... |
|
Gold Member Username: Adam_sPost Number: 1774 Registered: Aug-04 | I say port them. |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsMaple Grove, Minnesota Post Number: 1479 Registered: Dec-06 | I am kinda leaning towards that only because I want to make sure they are loud enough. |
