Who can answer this for me??? (SUBS)

[DigitalSpuder]

OK...here is my question...

Why does my single JL 12w6v2 sound a lot better in my bandpass box by itself at 2 ohms being run by a JL 500/1 amp, compared to the two subs hooked up in series/parallel at 4 ohms witht the same amp.
I can get the subs to1 ohm, but that was making them bottom out.
WHAT DO I DO???
It seems akward to have just one sub pounding when I have two available. I don't want to get a new amp that can support 1 ohm stability because I love the silver savage (JL 500/1).
HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Well if you want to build your own box it all depends on how much wood you will need. and it also depends on how much money you want to spend on the plywood or particle board which ever you want.
But i ust built a box and spent about 60 on a sheet of particle board. but it runs from 30 to 100 dollars a sheet.

ok i have a question.
I have 2 audiobahn 12's 1100 watt rms and i have a 400 watt walmart brand amp hooked up until i can find another one. well i found another one and the walmart brand hits harder than the kicker amp I got.
Help....

yeah...moron...

DO NOT use particle board OR plywood for subwoofer enclosures!

Use AT LEAST 3/4" MDF. Also, that will NEVER be over $25 a sheet WITH tax...unless...it's an ass raping store...

well if Marine grade plywood isnt avalable or is out of your price range and MDF isnt avalable then Particle board is the next on the list. then regular ply wood. but 60 for particle board? ive payed 40 for HDF... HDF=1000% better than particel board.

[bumpinstang77]

I would NEVER use plywood for a box.

Marine Grade doesnt warp. period. and it wont swell like MDF. and it is slightly more dence than MDF which gives it a lower FS. so it is technically better. but because MDF is good enough little difference is found.

If you get real HDF, it won't swell or warp at all. I left an old box outside the shop and it rained hard. Actually filled up the box alot until I figured out where it was. Dumped out the water and everythings fine. Marine grade plywood is OK but it is subject to absorbing freqencies in extreme conditions which is not good. For those lower powered subs you guys talk about though it would probably work.
