First and formost I have been stationed in japan for 3 years. So I have been out of the game for awhile. Here's what I have in my ford focus, yeah it's a focus don't laugh. My wife got the mustang! Here is what I have: headunit- Pioneer Deh-5000mp front speakers- Diamond audio D661s front amp- kicker kx 350.2 no rear speakers sub amp- mtx thunder 6500d 1x500 rms at 2ohm (certificate says 679 rms at 2ohms) sub box- prob box 1-10-spb ported Airspace: 1.50 cu. ft. L: 24" W: 16" H: 11" Now I want a good SQ 10" sub. I use to be a big MTX fan. SO I have looked at the following: MTX T9510-04 - MTX Thunder 9500 10" SVC Subwoofer MTX T8510-44 - MTX 10" 1,000 Watt Dual 4 Ohm Subwoofer Alpine SWX-1042D - Alpine 10" Type X Subwoofer Alpine SWR-1042D - Alpine 10" Type R 1500W Dual 4 Ohm Subwoofer Diamond Audio TDX10D4 - Diamond Audio 10" 1500 Watt 4 Ohm Subwoofer (very impressed with components) So I have about four hundred bucks for one sub. I have everything else. Tell me what you think? Sorry post is so long.
HOW DARE YOU MAKE SUCH A BIG POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have a 1.5 cubic foot box, ported.......what is the length and diameter of the vent? once that is known, it would be a little easier to figure out which sub would fit in that box and achieve the best SQ......
I ordered the box yesterday from the internet so I don't have the specifications for the port. But, here is the website with some information: http://www.proboxrocks.com/superbass/110SPB.shtml I went with this box because it was the closest type of box that I could find to the old Virtual technologies boxes. They were the best.
Ah....NO!!! Those boxes are crap...5/8's inch MDF and they are routered...5/8's is very cheap crappy MDF....those boxes would be ok IF they are heavily braced interally but I highly doubt that if they skimp on cost for 5/8's inch wood. Look into some TCAB enclosures...sorry if my opinion about those boxes offended you
G5 Boston Acoustics, 1/2 a cft x one 10" and 1cft 4 a 12". , you can do ported 2. http://www.bostonacoustics.com/car/car_product.aspx?category_id=17&family_id=106
there are alot of good subs out there, but you need one that fits the bill.......... I would reccomend you getting a sub of your choice, and then building (or have built) the RIGHT box, but, too late, you have a box headed your way............ wait till you get the box, then tell us what the vent dimiensions are, THEN we can reccomend a sub suited for your needs............
So I may have made a mistake on ordering the box first. Oh well I have a friend who will buy it from me. Anyway yesterday I went to some local car audio shops and heard the mtx 9500 and 8500, which sounded good. But I also heard the Kicker 12 L7 in a box built to its specs, which sound even better So I think I will go with the L7, What do you think?
Well quite frankly I forget the name of their website but I have been there...You could try asking on the realmofexcursion.com forum They are very nice boxes built to your needs and woofers
do the kicker L7.i have a L5 10 in a tiny factory kicker box and that little thing just beats the ****t out of me in the truck. i have it hooked to an old (wooden)phoenix gold M50 rated at 245 watts mono. i am not disapointed.
