Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 123 Registered: Aug-04 | Depends on how many voice coils and whether they are 2,4,6, ohms Also depends how many subs you'll have. Give examples of the subs, then the question can be answered. Also, check out this link http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/S-Szr6cWT7FJK/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wi ring.html?subs=1&impedance=SVC4 Will tell you what resistance your amps needs to be at to power what type and how many subs.

erik123456 Unregistered guest | for example VMX-10DVC 10" Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer 600 watts max / 200 watts RMS, 4 Ohm, sensitivity 92 dB, frequency response 20-500 Hz. so that means 4 ohm and run 200 watts to it |
|
erik123456 Unregistered guest | scratch that i just got a jbl 600.1 amp and i also want to run 2 12"s would that work with 12" VMax DVC's in a ported box |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 126 Registered: Aug-04 | Yes, That will work, so will the SVCs, it doesn't matter. Either way it will send 300w to each sub. Plenty of power for ported. |
|
erik123456 Unregistered guest | is there an advantage to having dvc ? they are a bit more expensive |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 127 Registered: Aug-04 | It just allows for differen't configurations from what I've been told. But since the Vmax comes in single 4ohm and dual 2ohm, with 2 12s they will both wire down to 2ohms with that amp. |

erik123456 Unregistered guest | what did you end up putting into your car FNG come up to dallas if you ever want to hear my 15 titanium once i get it all set up |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 128 Registered: Aug-04 | 2 Vmax 12s and an MTX 801d I almost went with Eclipse Aluminums because they are clearing them out at Tweeter for $199 each but it was a little out of my budget right now. |
|
erik123456 Unregistered guest | have you put it in yet. what kinda box did you end up using? im thinking about the same set up for my gf but with the jbl amp instead, for the money it seems like an awesome deal, are you happy with it? |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 130 Registered: Aug-04 | Just a sealed box, nothing special. I'll let you know when I get it all in. Won't be until this weekend. But I've heard the same setup and I thought it was awesome, even in the sealed box. |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 131 Registered: Aug-04 | Well I got my MTX Amp new locally for $235. 200w more for less than I could find the JBL, otherwise I was gonna go for the JBL. |
|
erik123456 Unregistered guest | should i go SVC like you did? -- Let me know how all your stuff is turning out, ill likely buy from the same site as you if it works out well thanks bro E |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 132 Registered: Aug-04 | It really doesn't matter. With that amp you'll can run either type. So far it's great. The birth sheet on my amp actually reads 876Wrms instead of the rated 800, so that's good. I'll let you know |
|
erik123456 Unregistered guest | sweet just ordered the SVC 2 12's now im in search of the best ported box for them -- is custom the best way to go? and what are you guessing this gets spl wise |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 134 Registered: Aug-04 | Check these out www.proboxrocks.com They make some nice boxes. I'm emailing Cerwin Vega now for the ported box specs, then you can see if the SuperBass model for 2 12s will work. Check out the link. These things look sweet!!! http://www.proboxrocks.com/superbass/2-12-SPB.shtml Don't know about SPL, i'm not looking to compete or be noticed coming down the street, so wasn't a major concern for me. I was told in the right car with the right setup, low 140s. |
|
erik123456 Unregistered guest | those look cool but so do these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5710830744&category=14945 its subzones new z series enclosure the link you had had more airspace and ive heard they sound best in a ported enclosure with over 2 ft per sub |
|
Silver Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 135 Registered: Aug-04 | erik, why don't you register so I can PM you to send the spec sheet I got from Cerwin Vega. The Spec sheet says 2.6 cu ft per sub from Cerwin Vega. I hope that's a maximum. I emailed the guy back to find out if there's a range, otherwise it gonna have to be a custom box. FNG |
