Now... I want more bass. If i can get one at a decent price, im thinking about getting a JL e1400 or 250/1 to power my JL 13w1v2. Basically i need an amp that'll do 200-250w RMS at 4 ohms. I think im going to try and build vented box for my sub first, then i'll try for the amp.

If all else fails, im going to sell it all and start over... this is where the point of this thread comes in. what are some good bang-for-the-buck subs i can get, preferably fairly low power, but still have good output. i want somethign that'll get louder than what i have now. never mind all the RE bandwagon shit, im thinking maybe a signle SE 12". i'vie never heard the sub, but there are some videos on realmofexcursion that impress me. any suggestions? i can't fit 15"s in my car... so 10"s or 12"s are my best bet.

elevation audio comp 10 or 12 re se 12 premier 3004 or 3002 (vc config 2 or 4 ohm) um comp vr.

Alpine Type R?

Also, if you keep your current box, look in to the Kicker KX250 for an amp. You can pick them up pretty cheap and they put out 250x1 rms at 4 ohms.

ok, so i really need help desiging this box.

i want to go with an overall dimension of 27.5" x 15" x16" or so, that'll be a net ~2.625 cuft. whats giving me trouble is making the cutlist and port dimensions. I want to make the port 2.5" wide, 13.5" high, and 32.5" long. (16" with a 16" extension.) if i did everything right, that'll be a tuning of 26Hz (i have no idea how to calculate that.)

now, net is before displacement right?if so, i would endup making my bottom and top cuts 30.25" wide, with the front peice being 27.5" long and 13.5" high?

god this shit is stressing me. pelase help . will bassbox pro help me with this stuff?

PM Justin. I believe he draws up blue prints.

um comp vr.

Bill, you suggested a kicker sub, lol. X2 on everything they have said. If you do want the SE you will have to have some more power to throw at it. You could fit a 15" in there, Just have it firing upwards. Say the sub is 7 1/2 in depth, the height of the box will only need to be about 10in. then add a few inches to the rest of the measurements. What kinda car you have?

its a saturn. tiny trunk.

The RE series...

For the money toss in two 12's and toss 300 WRMS at it...

yea well for the price you might as well include it right? im not apposed to the cvr i just hate with a passion the l5 and l7

i think right now i want to focus on a better box and amp for my JL sub.
