Amp and box measures for 2 HDS2 12

[GarrettHarvey 0]

Getting two hds212s and wanna know what amp to get(sq brand) , and if i should get dual 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm. And if youve done this build, what are the box measures

Considering they're rated for 600wrms the Q1-1200D would be the amp I would look at in your situation.  In order to get a 1 ohm load for the 1200wrms output from the amp you'll need to order Dual 4 ohm subs and wire them like the diagram below.  

 

It's about impossible for us to give you the box measurements.  Unless someone who's on the forum reading this has used the exact same subs and amp in the exact same vehicle there's just no way.  The odds of that happening are pretty slim.  The SoundQubed website shows from 2.5cuft to 5cuft of NET enclosure space as being usable for their 12" subs.  What we need from you is the maximum dimensions you're willing to give up to the subwoofer enclosure in your vehicle.  Then we can help you figure out how much space you have available and can help you get an enclosure figured out.

 

 

 

 

This is how the subs should be wired when you're ready to hook things up.

2.2 net cubes per sub (HDS212) works very good in most applications. Our Q1200 amp works great on a pair wired to 1 ohm.

Thanks guys i was just making sure im getting the right amp with them i was going to go with that one. When i build the box ill post how much room i have

DJ is absolutely correct! Two HDS212's in 4.4^ft NET on a Q1-1200 will sound very good, not to mention slam!

What do you have to play them?

 

Or did you mean after you have all you stuff?

Really no such thing as breaking in a sub, yes the subwoofers soft parts loosen up over time. On some subs it takes longer then others. Play the sub within it's limits and enjoy my friend.

Ive just heard that you could like hook it up to a receiver and let them play to break them in. Or should i just wait till everything is hooked up and go low volume for a while

Low volume will take longer for the soft parts to loosen up, like I stated earlier there is no such thing as breaking in a subwoofer.

I hooked this hds210 to my amp and then adjusted the gain and ssf correctly.

 

I then played it as loud as I could with no distortion.

 

That's how I break subs in. 

 

Never had to baby it. Never burned one up yet and I have done a lot.

 

Not all songs are recorded the same, so you will have to use the volume knob on some tunes.

I break mine in slow and don't wire them to 1ohm tell around the 4 to 6 month range. Never had a problem and don't forget to hookup the bass nob for the clipping light.
