Sub suggestions....

[mebcop 1]

Hey guys, I'm finally biting the bullett and putting some bass in my 2012 Mustang 5.0... It has the shaker 500 system, but I def need more thump.

My available dimensions are 38"W x 15"H x 11"D

Those are the Max dimensions for the space I want to take up.

It calculates out to 2.7ft^3 using the max dimensions.

I am trying to pick between 3 10's in a sealed box, or 2 12's sealed, or one 12 ported....

I initially wanted a single 15 sealed but I just don't have the height as my MAX height is 15" for the box.

I will be powering it with a Hifonix bxi1610d (1600wrms@1ohm).

I have been looking at 3 10w3v3's, or type-r's, as those can both be had fairly cheap online. Any other suggestions????

Id say get some Fi Q's.

[mebcop 1]

What? 3 tens sealed? 2 twelves sealed?

[Luke.H 33]

What's your budget? Goals? Do you have an amp already? That information is necessary to provide help.

[mebcop 1]

My goals are loud but sound good. I will sacrifice spl for sq, but I need it to be fairly loud. I'll be using my hifonics bxi1610d I listed above. Budget will be between $300-400...

It's Lava Red...

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Sweet! Any performance plans?

[mebcop 1]

It has a JLT intake, Borla Touring exhaust, and the 93octane street tune from Jon Lund

Gonna supercharge it either this winter or next spring...

Oh ya, and FRPP K-springs 1.5" drop

Nice ride!

[mebcop 1]

Thanx Steve

Any suggestions on what sub setup I should run? The more I think about it the more I'm leaning to a good single ported 12....

[Tirefryr 1,742]

Buy a Kenne Bell or a Whipple and listen to the whine instead. . . Or a couple twins spooling.

[mebcop 1]

Fit and finish of the turbo kits isn't quite what I require for my car... Yet.

The roush s/c is putting out some REAL nice numbers!!! Prob run about 9psi and be in the 600whp ballpark.

[Luke.H 33]

A single 12" in a well designed vented enclosure should suit your needs. Personally I'd go that route over sealed. There are a lot of options you could go with sub-wise. You might want to look into an xcon.

[Duran 387]

A 12" Q sounds incredible, both ported and sealed, it would likely be enough output for you considering you want SQ over SPL.

[Ohjay 116]

Nice ride, I think a Q or Xcon would be a great choice.

[mebcop 1]

Thanx guys. Do u think a single Q would be enough? I don't need "rattle the teeth out of your head" loud, but I am fighting a moderately loud exhaust.

[Notorious97200 339]

Get a SSA Xcon 12" ported ! An Icon if your budget is too tight.

Or a Fi BL or BTL for the loud side !

Your amp will be powerful enough for all those subs.

BTW you have a really nice car. Must be fast too ! Congrats !

[Duran 387]

A single Q could rattle your teeth if you designed it to do so. It's all in the enclosure you put it in

[mebcop 1]

Oh, and I should have mentioned this at the beginning. The sub will be firing into the car, sealing the cabin of the car from the trunk. There's about 6-8" between the rear seats and the sub when the seats are up...

IA will be having their black and blue sale real soon

[mebcop 1]

whats the "black and blue" sale?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

It is a sale on IA products that happens once every 3 years. I will be updating the SSA store pricing this weekend for the start of the sale.

[Ryan916 2]

My vote goes to an xcon. Your amp is perfect for it and too much for a q. Or wait for the ia sale. I'm pretty curious about that.
