I have a 1.22 cu ft ported box. Will this box work for this sub? Also, I'm curios how to run this at 4 ohms if that's possible.

Keith I just put this in a box in a Cadillac cts. I needed a deep box not a normal sized box. Also needed wire splitter for dual voice coil. not sure on ohms mine hooked up fine. Good luck this sub pumps

This sub can only be wired for 2 or 8 ohms since there are two 4 ohm coils. If they are series it will be 8 ohms and if they are paralleled it will be 2 ohms. The directions for this sub recommends a 1.75ft^3 for a ported enclosure ( with a 3" port 4.76" long) or a .75ft^3 sealed enclosure. I would have to know your boxes port size to comment on the enclosure you have.

The manual that came with the subs say to use 1.0 cubic foot per sub or .5 cubic for enclosures with a port. I have 2 in a rather small box, about 1.0 for each sub and it sounds like they aren't getting enough air so I would suggest around 1.5 each in a ported box.

For a sealed enclosure like for 1.25cu.ft and 1.5cu.ft for ported. I personally have mine in this box,

Wire the sub at 2 ohms if it's possible. Makes the amp put out max power and sub slap. If your sub is not a dual voice coil 4 ohm, get one.

The port is on the bottom, and the pre-out SUB is where you would want to connect it. The feet on the sub hold it up plenty high for the bottom port to be functional.. In a small room, this is all the sub you need. our room is 16 x 18 with 2 open doors, still plenty of bass. it isnt the most refined sub, but properly adjusted it is not boomy either.

You'll be under powering the sub almost 1000 watts. Cause the amp puts out 1800 watts @4ohms and 2500@ 2 ohms. So if u don't already have a sub, try a 2 ohm one it should work better.

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub

All the specs on the sub and the box show that this will work, run 300-500 watts RMS and use a small amount of fiber fill in it and you should be good, I have one of these that I put a Skar Audio sub in and ran 700 watts RMS to it and it sounds pretty tight, The box is great for the price.

Are the subs wired correctly for 4ohms or 2 ohms. If so your gains need to be adjusted properly and any boosts from your deck turned off

Yes, I believe. The sub has dual coils and are each 4 ohm I believe. But if I remember my audio correctly, which I think I'm wrong, is when the coils are wired up, it adds to a 2 ohm speaker. Idk. But I am pretty sure that the coils are both 4 ohm. Hope this helps

The amp pushes 1000watts RMS @ 1OHM. I would recommend two 10in subwoofers each rated at about 500watts RMS with a single 2ohm voice coil so they can be wired in a parrallel circuit to obtain a 1OHM load from the amp. This box should also be ported.

I had it hooked up to a pa speaker with 2 15s and 4 tweeters raited at 250watts and it sounded great and got pretty loud. For your sub I do believe it would work. I did, however, end up sending it back. There were issues with the phono input where the signal wouldn't come through and the mic input dial seemed to have difficulty when increasing the volume. It did not increase gradually but rather reached a point where it seemed to just jump to 100%. Also, on the package I received it said defective, which maybe should have been a warning. So if you do get one check out all of the functions before the return date is up.

Yes it is. I had mine hooked up to 2 cheap sony svc I had It souned pretty good. Aslo if you want good sount with this amp a lot of that would have to do with what style of BOX you have. I built a box for one 15inch sub and let me tell you my living room is 22x15. My whole house shakes. My wife is not a big fan of it due to the fact that Everything shakes and rattles when Im using it. I love I have it on for hours at a time.

Melissaaa, this sub is downward firing with a port on one side. So you don't want to cram it (or any other sub) into a tight space. (The wave length of 80 hz - right in the middle of this sub's specs - is 14 feet long.) Also, you might want to consider that you'll have an RCA cord from your amp that will have to be plugged in in the rear of the unit. A good - say Blue Jeans Cable rca plug and gauge of wire - is going to project at least three to four inches. So your depth would actually be something on the order of 14 to 15 inches.

really unimportant with a sub. I dont have this sub, but the principal is universal for powered subs. I would use a std rca sub cable and the key is to be able to place it where you maximize its impact. yes should be useable w/ almost all modern recievers

There are many variables to consider when building boxes that affect sub performance, but without those to consider there are a few things you can plan with. Your subs can be wired together (assuming they are single voice coil) at either 2 ohms or 8 ohms, with 2 ohms being the better choice for this amp. At this resistance the amp will work very well, providing up to 500 watts RMS (much under the rating of your subs)

How many voice coils do you have that amp works well at 2ohm or 4ohm. If your sub is dual voice coils it can be wired down to a lower ohm so you can pull the max RMS/watts from the amp
