Can someone that knows alot about bass help

[NAVY IC]

all good shops should be able to fabricate a custom box for you, consider 'em suspect if they can't

[BikerPaintballdude]

Alright. So is there anything I need to know to find the demensions of the box? (I know speakers have a amount of space they need to work and sound good but I cant find that information on CM3's)

Thats helpfull information, thanks for everything.

O.K. if I were to coat the box with some kind of truck bed liner (because I want to keep it protected from whatever I put in the bed of the truck because its replacing the mid-gate) would it interfere with sound quality or over heating problems?

[PaulD]

coating the outside would just make the box stiffer which is a good thing

[BikerPaintballdude]

ok well im probly going to be looking in to getting a custom box and coating it thanx for the input.

So should I get the dual 4 OHM or the dual 2 OHM?? and what is the difference between the two?

[PaulD]

depends on what the final load you want it to be ...... which depends on the amp you buy

[BikerPaintballdude]

Would the Hifonics Brutus Bxi 2006D (at about 2000 watts) work with the dual 2 OHM?

[PlayStation3]

duel 4 would be better for that amp so you can get a 1 ohm

[BikerPaintballdude]

O.K. but I probably sound dumb asking this question but I still dont get what the difference is between the 2.

If you want to go with the dual 2ohm subs, just use the 1606D

ohms is how we measure resistance to current. a 2 ohm load is less resistive than a 4 ohm load so given the same amount of current, you can get
more power (watts) out of an amp connected to a sub with 2ohms of resistance than you can get from an amp connected to a sub with 4ohms of resistance.

with (3) dual 2ohm subs your total resistance (impedence) depending on how you wire your subs will be either 12 ohms or 1.33 ohms (1606D is a close match)
if you double the resistance of your subs with the dual 4ohm versions, then your total impedance will also double to either a 24 or 2.66 ohm load (2006D can work with this)

[BikerPaintballdude]

ok I get it. So why would you want to get a dual 2 OHM over a dual 4 OHM? Is there like any advantages to either?
