Well, looks as if the old Zeus are going to be put out to pasture from me anyway - not sure what the new guy will do to them

But also looks like I will be getting 2 L7's to replace em. Not sure whether to get the Dual 2 or Dual 4 atm but am looking for someone to design me a nice box

Don't want it to take up the whole boot like the current one does, but want nice low and loud if possible.

Anyone have any suggestions ? Cmon Critter - get to work

Laterz,

dude, you're in SQ forum here.

what power do you get off the D2 with 2ohm and 1ohm? i guess it'd be nice to have at least 400WRMS on tap per sub.

the box design will depend on the year model, with the 2001 models suiting either ported or sealed better than the current/2002 model that prefers sealed only. i guess going port would be provide the option of adjustable ports should you wish to change between SQ and SPL.

It's orright, SQL is allowed here

Anthony, lemme know what drivers you plan to use and I'm on the case, for ported twin S12L7s you aren't gonna leave much boot space tho'....

Dual 2s and Dual 4s are different drivers too, regardless of the model year.
Of course you could always buy mine "as is" if it fits ....

Well I can say from mine 27hz tuning is a lil laggy but growls down low like an earthquake! but on the other hand 38hz tuning is tight/punchy as all hell but drops off hard with low bass.... So I imagine you would want to tune somewhere inbetween that 10hz range pushing one way or the other depending on your personal preference

Doesn't look like your going SPL anymore so I would go the dual 4's so you can 1ohm daily and be loud as hell. But if you wanna play safe with 2ohm daily and then 0.5ohm for burps

From testing in my car off 1 battery i've got about 1150wrms @ 2ohm nominal, and about 2.7kwrms@0.5ohm.... i've tested with both amps running off 1 poor battery hehe with gains half way 1657wrms@1ohm... but I imagine it would be up around 2000+ at full tilt.

Hmm, it sounds a bit like the same setup as Damo95 has down here. He's got 2 L7's facing forward in a sealed box in his VS Commodore.

See this thread for details on his system:

It's a relatively small box which is good for not taking up most of the boot - and it's definately plenty loud.

[Ignite]

Ok, well I would suggest that Im going with dual 2's because I don't wanna blow the **** out of my D2 (and Im not letting it go anywhere near Bodyjar )

All I meant was that I dont want the box to be quite as huge as this one, just a bit more practical thats all.

And dont really care much either for changing ports this time around, just want a loud daily driver.

And Shiny - you are a

[shiny_car]

now why don't you just build a sweet SQ system and be done with it.

[Ignite]

Well at this stage it looks as if I'll be going with Dual 2 ohm Squares so I can run them at 2ohm for daily and MAYBE 0.5ohm for burps hehe

So if anyone else wants to throw their hat in the ring and design me a box, please feel free

Laterz,

how about seperate chamber 2 cubes each slot ports in the middle against the divider wall tuned to 30hz. sounds good to me

[Sonic Nirvana]

The box is designed, Ignite, but it is sealed.

IMO the 2002 models are not suited to SQ and porting at the same time, would be loud and low and slow/boomy.....

I thought it was an SQL box? the L bit just went right out the window didn't it

[Sonic Nirvana]

hehe
I spose it depends on how loud is loud enough

Geez.. I get banned from the net for 2 weeks at work, come back and see a referral to my system..
Thanx John..

Yep, my dual 4ohm S12L7's are in a TINY, 0.88cf sealed box, per sub.. The box, at the base, is only bout 350mm deep, and the sub magnet has bout 15mm clearance to the bottom/back of the box.. its that small..
Yet, at the CAAdB event at Epping last weekend, i pulled a 132.5 on the new meter.. Did 136.6 on the old one.. And thats running off the lone ZR600, which according to the birth certificate, puts out 809wrms @ 4ohm..

Not too shabby really, but its nice and tight.. Good back massages are frequent too..
