had a friend na nagset ng pick up nya, he uses a focal V2 powered by a 4 way genesis amp a single 10 inch DLS sub sa small sealed box! swabe for SQ

[dosbydos]

sir toolightz
thank you po sa reply. saan po nilagay ng friend ninyo yung box para sa subwoofer. dont want the box to be visible. .

[xer]

Yung sinasabi mo ba 1 enclosure para sa 2 different types of sub??? isang square na s12l5 and isang RFP3?

Mura na nga kung sa mura tignan mo maigi baka may diperencya yung amp or yung sub!

think magkaiba ng specs nung 2 subs mo! and akala ko ba kailangan mo ng space tapos magdadalawa ka ng sub???
kung bitin ka sa bass ng P3 mo palitan mo yung box na mas malaki and go ported!
Try mo yung crunch ikabit sa P3 pagmahina pa rin palit ka ng box

ano ba dimension ng box ng P3 mo? baka di lang napopower ng husto ng RF450.4? malakas yang P3!!!
PM mo sakin kung bebenta mo yung P3 baka matulungan kita

thak you sir toolihtz for the reply, iyung dimension ng box ko sir is nasa h=16, w=34, d=8 lang po yata ported with 4inches pvc 12" long port. siguropo talagang medyo maliit enclosure kaya siguro medyo bitin sa bass. ano po kaya ma irecommend ninyo na size ng box. iyung po palan p3 sub ko is iyung shallow series na 4ohm dvc. salamat po ulit.

[odell]

what do you want to achieve?

[PajHERoY]

what vehicle are you referring to?

[OTEP]

ssaloon,

Suggestion for newbies ba yan? Eh hindi presyong newbie yan, ha. hehehehe.

Ano na lang ang system ko kumpara diyan sa mega-buck 'newbie' system nila? hehehehehe.

I'm a beginner:

*I used my stock head unit (Pioneer). Added a 12 disc CD changer I salvaged from my old Benz.
*Targa TX-series 2 way seps + Targa 10" SVC Subwoofer.
*Had GlennSter build me a box out of MDF.
*Bought KCboy's Alpine Amp for a really great price.
*Used wiring salvaged from our old Galant SS.

Ayos na ayos. Sa bagay, hindi naman ako masyadong finicky with these kinds of stuff.
