2 Sundown Z15+RD 2200.1 Build

[zerosktr111 1]

Guess what I got yesterday!!!!!!!!!!

Should be going in a 1997 Cadillac Seville

These seem to be great and heavy subs, The smaller sub is my old pioneer that is also "1000 watts RMS" .I used it to show how big the Z15 is. Can't wait till my 2200.1 comes in!!!!

Also, how does 6 cubes @ 32 hz sound? Anyone know how much port area I need for this?

Jacob recommends 3-3.25 ft3, tuned between 32 and 35hz. I would say the standard 12-16 sq in of port area to every cuft. So if you are doing 6 ft3, then about 72-96 sq in of port area total.

I have one of these in 3.25ft3 enclosure, tuned to 35hz. It sounds great with only about 400rms!

Yeah I should have lol. People on this forum have given me sooooo much shit about buying that amp. I can't really afford the expensive car audio stuff considering I am only a junior in high school and I only work a few hours a week. If im not really happy with that amp il just sell it and get a sundown 2000/3000d. This is more of a budget build anyways. After everything is said and done I should be looking at about only a grand spent on a real 2kw system. 50 cents a watt for a system is not bad at all imo.

I know, was just giving you a little grief. At least you are close to Sundown and can pop in to check out equipment.

Were gonna need the max dimensions of the area you want to use for your subwoofer enclosure (height x width x depth).

I know I was kind of waiting untill someone offered to help but the max dimensions are 30(L) x 40 (W) x 18 (H) And 18 in would seal the box off from top to bottom.

I like lows but I also like output so I guess like 35hz tuning would be best for me.

[jcarter1885 995]

18"H x 37"W x 25.25"D (Outside dimensions)

16.5"H x 5.5"W x 13.85"L (Port Dimensions)

Port Area = 90.75in^2 / Port Area Range = 80-107 in^2

6.66ft^3 @ 35Hz.

Here is a little something till you get what you want if it doesnt work out for you.

Why thank you Jaycee I appreciate it very much. Now when my amp arrives I can start on my box.

Also, should the subs/port face forward because it seals off the trunk from top to bottom?

Yeah if you want to seal off the trunk then face them forward, you are also going to have to cover up the sides so the whole trunk is sealed off from the cabin area.

No problem man and good luck with everything, I get my Z15 on Friday .

If it helps there is an enclosure calculator on RE's website that is easy to use.
