Sub Question

[James FreemanJr]

My friend is gonna be giving me a 10" Earthquake sub for free cause he just upgraded and I was wondering if it would fit in a sport trac underseat enclouser.



It has a 5 1/4" mounting depth and that is all I know about it right now. Never heard of Earthquake before but it sounds REALLY good for a 10".



Edit Found This.

The CWells enclosure that I have underneath my rear seat has up to 6" of air space.

Too deep for behind the seat unless you go fiberglass, underseat works. Earthquake subs are good, lucky guy getting one for free.

 

[James FreemanJr]

Thanks guys. Is there anyway to add a port to the underseat box? Or is there not anuff room for one? His enclouser was ported and I love the way it sounds.

 

[Jacob Dryer]

Not enough room unless you are going to make a box to take up the whole underseat area.

 

[James FreemanJr]

Damn oh well. Should still be anuff bass for me sealed if not I will get another box and think about removing the 40% split seat maybe. Another question about an amp. The specs for the sub



MODEL: DBXR-10D

800-W

10" cast subwoofer

Single voice coil 2 x 4-ohm

2" voice coil, aluminum bobin

MAX Power 800 Watts

120 Oz double stacked magnet



Would this amp be good for this sub (amp is also an Earthquake)



Earthquake PH800W.2 Amp

Number of channels:2

Max power output:800 Watts

Power 2-ohm mono:1 x 500

RMS power 4-ohm mono:1 x 300

RMS power 4-ohm stereo:2 x 120

Damping factor:>800

Cross over slopes:24dB/OCT

THD:>0.016

SNR:104dB

Class:A/B

Speaker connection:12-Gauge



Recommended

power connection:8-Gauge

Input type:Independent Low Level RCA

Dimension:2 1/2" x 10 3/8" x 6 1/2"



Looking at the specs for both it seems more than capable.



Thanks again for all the help guys.

Not bad, the sub is going to get 300 watts, and 600max instead of the 400/800 that it can take though.

 

[James FreemanJr]

Any amp suggestions? I was looking at this amp cause its the same brand as the sub and also was $100.

 

[Jacob Dryer]

Not for $100

 

[James FreemanJr]

How about a Directed Audio 750D? 400wRMS and 1200wPEAK at 2Ohm Load or is that gonna be too much? I heard Directed Audio is made by the same company as Orion and its the same amp as a Orion 600D but about $150 cheaper at only $109.



750 dynamic spec power

275x1 @ 4

400x1 @ 2

600x1 @ 1

Full 18db variable low pass crossover



Thanks don't know much about car audio.

 

[Jacob Dryer]

That sub is 4 ohm. So you're only getting the 275.

 

[James FreemanJr]

I thought it was dual 4ohm? Single voice coil 2 x 4-ohm.

 

[Jacob Dryer]

It's written kind of misleading. I think they were redundant in that it's a 2" 4ohm voicecoil. It wouldn't be a single voice coil if there are 2.





edit: website says single voicecoil.. so it's 4 ohm no wiring any different.

Thanks again.
