Question
 
im thinking right now of doing a 8" sub both from doors. even if i seal up the doors,, its 3cubes big. and the 8" needs .5cubes sealed. would it still sound good?? or i should go another route?

opignions, ideas any thing that might work lol. i have good mids right now but mid bass is lacking a bit. and with no sub at the moment it basicly sux.

the mid bass will play between 40hz to around 200 i guess?? or is there a better #? also the amp im looking into right now only has HP AP and LP. im trying to get bandpass lol is there something i could use?

thanks Dan

i wont be checking after 2:30 pm till 10 tonight so any Q's will have to wait lol.

im looking at the punch 400/4 amp and the MTX 5508 sub since i can get it cheap

i will be sound deadning the whole door. 2 layers of dynamat extreme in the outer skin and 1 layer on the other skin, and some 1/4 MDF to make a baffle behind the door panel.

thats my plan so far

I'd be hard to find a amp that will do this properly. you basically need a stereo ap that has a subsonic filter that can be set as high as 50hz. and a low pass that can be set as high 200hz...since they will be covering midbass frequencies you can't really use a head units sub out as most are mono (even with seperate left and right conenctors)

well the second amp i was looking at (need 2) the 325/1 punch. LP AP HP and goes up to 400hz. and im not using my sub out since they will be only for my subs ( once i get some lol )

lets say everything is right will it sound good? it need .5cubes and i have 3cubes. lol if its fine the rest should be a breeze to do

Kicker SX amps can do bandpass easily.

im trying to keep it real cheap sooooo right now all i got is was FS gets. and so far the RF stuff is better than the rest of that stuff lol and we dont get kicker up here from locals

danyman 10-24-2008 09:37 PM

oups we do get kicker. but another thing too is that is has to have a very small footprint

so far the RF 200/2 and 325/1 i get for around 125$ each.

f you are going to do soemthing like that you should look at an amp that is designed to do something like that!

danyman 10-24-2008 10:20 PM

ill figure something out with the amp all i need to know is... is the 8" sub going to sound right in a 3 cubes sealed door????? when the sub requires .5cubes????????
