    Hi. New here! To the point now. Have 99 honda accord 4 door. Going to order sub box off of ebay that is custom made to fit into trunk against back seat. Look it up. Ebay-honda accord sub box. It says 1.75 cubic air. I have a kicker 700.5 amp. Wanting to run one 12, 2-10's or mabey 4-8's. With that amp. It is 2ohm stable. What suggestions do you guys have. Currently running slot box with 2 -10's. Audiobahn. Hate the sound. Want bass that hits you hard. Rock metal and contry mostly I listen to. Thanks in advance. P.s. that box looking at points back and is sealed.

    ya man, go with that guys boxes... and sealed as well, ive bought a box from him in the past for my old corolla, he builds them good and sturdy.... i currently have that box in my friends corolla with 2 cvr 12s running at 2ohm and he gets a really wide range of sound... as far as the speaker sizes id go with 1 or 2 10s... since 12s are not fast enough for quick bass vs deep and drawn out. since you have those 10s looks like you're good to go already

    4 8" subs in sealed box

    Was thinking about ordering that box and running 4 8" subs. Would that hit!?

    ya you could do the 8s except i think the trunk space of an accord is too big for something like that, you'll lose too much base BEFORE it ever hit the inside of the car... i would only put 8s into some type of hatchback.... not an accord... stick with the 10s

    just a thought.

    Im not into compitition or nothing but was reading and got few ideas. Sealed with 1.75 with two 10" dcons. Or 1.75 with one fosgate HX2 12". Or will my current audiobahn AW-100T be good sealed.

    also a sealed box is always gonna be less efficient then ported.. so it is gonna take more power to get more sound out of them.. if u need a smaller amp to push the subs let me know man.. or if u want different subs and an amp i got that too...

    it has to be the box design/ trunk. if you want it louder in the car you can port thru the rear deck.

    since you don't have a ton of power your bass needs all the help it can get to get to your ears. the back seat isn't helping.

    either bigger subs and more power to compensate...

    or... help the bass pass thru the rear deck. trunked vehicles are a little harder to get loud.

    i know guys with trucked car that dive with the rear seats down just to be a little louder. seats up and they loose like 10DBs.

    i had a 5 ch and it powered my 4 8's just fine... its not that he needs a mono block amp.. he just needs more power to get the sound past the rear seat cushion.

    mono amps come in many power levels.. from 100 watts to 14,000 watts.

    saying he needs a mono block to get loud is like saying i need a v8 to go fast.... without saying how much power the v8 needs to have.. 150 hp or 400hp.

    Im not sure sundown 8" subs are good for sealed box though. Any thoughts? 1.75 air space to work win.
