Sub Boxes

[deereconstruction]

im trying to make a new system for my Ext cab ranger. right now i have 2 Kicker CVR's in a dual ported box. i was gonna pair it with a hifonics hfi1000.1d i know the box i have now will fit but i was looking at other boxes. i found a couple on ebay ive never seen them before.

they also have singles. has anyone here had or have one. if so how do u like it?

Kicker subs always sound best in sealed boxes. Otherwise, it's hard to match the parameters of the subs to the port tuning and size of the box.

i just dont know how it would hold u to the sub though. looking at specs its only 5/8 MDF board. would it be cheaper to just make my own like this one?

Use 3/4" MDF for any sub enclosure. If you have never made a ported sub enclosure before and know nothing about port tuning, do not attempt it. making a sealed enclosure is alot easier, just needs to be the proper interior volume.

What type music do you listen to most ?

The 12" CVR's will handle more power in a 1 cu.ft. sealed box, but will sound best in a 4.6 cu. ft. sealed box. Sooo... a sealed enclosure built to fit where you want it in your truck that is at least 1 cu.ft. interior volume but not more than 4.6 cu.ft. in volume (THAT'S HUGE !!!) The box you linked to above would be OK, if it was stouter. You have a pretty strong amp.

Recommended Sealed Box Volume:

• Compact (minimum enclosure volume): 1.0 cu/ft; the woofer can handle up to 400 watts RMS (200 watts per voice coil)
• SQ (maximum enclosure volume): 4.6 cu/ft; the woofer can handle up to 300 watts RMS (150 watts per voice coil)

Are your CVR's DVC 2 ohm or DVC 4 ohm ?

[deereconstruction]

For the amp i was gonna use a Hifonics HFI1000.1D. the subs if i remeber right are 2 ohm. long story short i had the subs bout a year ago and i sold em to a buddy and he sold them back to me. we had them wired in parallel so its 1 ohm. if i build the box it will be sealed most likely unless someone help me design it then i know to make it. i listen to mostly hip hop rock and rap.

Yes, 500 watts RMS per DVC 4 ohm sub wired to a final of 1 ohm in a sealed box with 1 cu.ft. internal volume chamber each, sounds about right. You might have to be judicious setting the gain with a DMM so that each sub doesn't get much more than 400 watts each, but I doubt that amp makes rated power, anyway.
