is there such a thing as overdoing? probably not... but anyways...

ive begun work on my fiberglass trunk enclosure for my acura 1.6 el... and what i plan on putting in there is probably not as "hardcore" as some of the systems on here...

but nontheless:

2 15" Clarion XW1500 1200W max (DVC) 600 const.
4 8" Clarion SRW2041 300W max (SVC) 150 const.

1 Clarion DPX1001.2 2/1 channel 1000w bridged 2OHM
1 Clarion APX401.2 2/1 channel 200w per channel

i plan on wiring the 2 15's in with the amp in a briged, parallel wiring scheme. while i split up the 4 subs.. 2 per channel (parallel) to the 400 watt amp...

so far i have one 15 coming in, 2 8's and the 400 watt amp coming in thursday... ill use those to build the enclosure to specs, and hook them up after the fiberglass job is done...

any comments, complaints, mocking... although im not sure why [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] , is welcome as long as its constructive...

just wondering, what are the 4 8's for.

Thomas 08-12-2003 09:25 PM

ornaments? hell they only cost 65 bux

8's make great midbass and blend in well with 5 1/4 inch comps

high pass your comps @ 80hz
bandpass the 8's from 45-80hz
tune the 15's real low (like 28hz) and lowpass em @ 45hz

usually sounds real nice [img]smile.gif[/img]

he is on another forum I'm on too.. here was my suggestion..

1 15 in the back tuned low
2 8's in each door handling the midbass..
that would just be sick to have that much midbass up front..

Yup Yup. That's what I'll be doing. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
Give the 8's a lot of POWER too.

im going to attempt to make kicker panels for two of them...

making them is no problem, but fitting them so it doesnt affect my driving is another thing
