Alright guys, so i have a dual 1 ohm q18, and i need an enclosure, the specs on the website aren't specific enough, i want to know what size sealed enclosure, would be best for sound quality? I am getting my enclosure professionally done by my local car audio place, and he needs the specs that i want it at. also how do you wire the 1 ohm subwoofer, i'm new to this-lol so please get back to me on this asap. thanks -aj

was it a q 18 tho earthman?

haha damn i gotta get better with math then, so 7 cubes is is too big? i mean i gotta van man-haha

i def have the room, so would u recommend me doing 7 cubes then?

alright, i'm thinking a 6.3 cubic ft box tuned to 30hz, cause its a lil more than the recommended, and 2 hz less than the max.

damn, the hifonics amp, is 1100 w x 2 0hm, so the dual 1 ohm def can only be wired as as a 2 ohm? is that bad? or doesn't make too much of a difference? & does it matter if its a monoblock?

ya i was gonna build my own box, but i don't have the tools for it, i live with my mom, and she has like none of the tools i need-haha, but i'll prob get the 6.3 cubic ft tuned to 28hz, how did it sound when u had it in that sized box?

thanks brandon, do u think the guy would know what i meant if i told him to get it at 4.9 cubic ft tuned to 31 hz, like your setup?

and i'm prob getting strretwires 1/0 gauge wiring kit for it.

its a hifonics bxi1610d, it's 1600w x 1 ohm, and the guy is charging me 160, and what i meant by specific enough, is that you have to choose between 4-8 cubic feet,like i said i'm new to this.

alright, so i've seen this sub on youtube, did alot of research on it, and seemed like it was the best sub for me, like my username says, i'm an sq freak, i'll take sq over bass any day,but i love both so i'm getting 2 monoblocks, first let me say this sub looks amazing! & this sub is massive! its as big as the hubcaps on my car! anyways not to get off topic or anything, so i have the new JVC Bongiovi Accoustics Headunit, the thing is amazing, and has the best sound quality i've ever experienced! i am possibly getting a JL Audio 1000w monoblock amp, and a Hifonics Brutus 1600 monoblock amp, should i use just the JL to power it?, or use both amps and get a capacitor? i was also curious about the best amount of hertz for it to be tuned to for the best sq, i'm kinda new to this, so forgive me if my sub slang isnt so great-lol, should i get a ported or seal box? its a dual 1 ohm with bp power option, and did i mention i have a 1999 Izuzu Oasis van, so room isn't a problem. Thanks for looking, i hope to get some help on this, i will gladly appreciate it, thanks.

i just got them uploaded to the gallery-lol but i need to get my amp & make my enclosure still.

ya thats what i was thinking!-lol

i appreciate the help guys, and i just took my sub to a car audio place in my town, the guy told me that ficaraudio is a Chinese company, and the q doesn't even have good sound quality, and ecspecially the 18's, and he tried charging me 160 to make the recommended box, i think he just said that cuz he had a memphis audio shirt on. & i will prob sell the hifonics, but my friend said he will already give me a wiring kit with the jl, and he has like double 0 gage, hes a mechanic and works on mad cars, and races, and yeah my van is mad ghetto, lol my friends and i refer to it as the green machine, cause its green and for another reason, i prob shouldn't mention on here, and i spray painted the hubcaps with glossy black spray paint, so yeah its gonna look nice when everything gets hooked up, and i'm creative when it comes to this shit, so expect some good pics of it sometime soon.
