What ohm load do you have the it wired up at? Chances are you have it at a high ohm load, and you're not getting all the power you should be getting. Tuning your amp etc will help also.

just to mention, i have an alpine type-x 10" in a .65 cf. net sealed box and just for shits i hooked it up to my kicker zx1000.1 to see how it would do in its recommended sealed enclosure and power, it really wasnt that loud at all, but the sq was outstanding.

box is sealed and too small.
go to a 2cu ft ported box, tuned to 34Hz
that should fix it

If you port it, the bass will come... Listen to kiki, he knows how to make a man happy.

I want to stay with a sealed box so I was thinking about getting another type-r and build a sealed box for 2 12's. The amp is a Hifonics bx1000d and is rated at 1000 watts @ 1 ohm. Also the amp has 2 positives and 2 negatives for speaker outputs. The subs are dual 4 ohm. Can I wire both subs for a 1 ohm load to the amp? If so, How would I do this??

Yes, you can hook them up at 1 ohm.

Look at option 1

uh? are you lamenting?

thats your decision, but why do you want to stay sealed? id build a box atleast 4cf, in seperate chambers.. if you wanted, you could just build two seperate boxes, each 2cf each.. otherwise if you use one box, you really need to have a seperater in the middle.

With that being said, having separate chambers isnt going to do any magic, the ONLY thing its going to do is keep one sub from seeing double the air space if something happens to the other subs... Having separate chambers isnt going to improve or decrease the sound quality or output of the subs.

If you want I can personally have a look at your system.

I thought Huron sounded familiar. Im about an hour from you, west.

I would advise a new box also, and ported. I can design and build a box for you, for a very low price. Then we can tune your stuff all right here when you come to get the box!

Addign a second sub to your sealed enclosure will only make it as loud as one of them subs ported...

Want it even louder? Add the other sub and port both of them... hehe...

If your interested in a box let me know. The special deals are only going to last for a month.
