Hello Everyone

I have purchased 2 HFi12D4 (Hifonics) subwoofers. 12". I am wondering if it would be Ok to use a sealed box. also i was wondering if anyone could recommend me a low budget amp ?

thank you

 

What does the spec sheet say? Usually the Maxxsonics stuff has ported and sealed enclosure specs. Just build the box to the specs listed.

Maxxsonics stuff is fine for a budget build (Crunch, Autotek, Hifonics). Look up pricing on Amazon.

 

I have no clue what the spec sheet says. How much would it cost to build a box myself? I'm not really familiar with cutting, etc

 

ported...

 

a sheet of 3/4" mdf is around $30, then you need screws and good wood glue, so maybe $50-$60 to build a box yourself.

with a rms of 300 watts and a peak of 600 watts, i'd look for an amp that makes 600-800 watts at either 1 ohm or 4 ohm.

 

800 is more than double the power.

 

he has 2 subs.

 

ah, thought he had 1
