Hi guys.... right now i got a Punch 1000a2 (rated 1602 watt @ 2ohm), and i got (2) Eclipse Aluminum Series DVC 12" subs on the way.... i need some tips on how to wire the subs (parallel or series??? or other options?) and i need some tips on how to build my custom box... i got 3RF amps, and i want em all standing straight up w/ the stripes goin vertically since i have such bad ventilation in my trunk (if you know 2000 model RF amps, you'll know what im talkin about)... Anyways... is it a good idea to set up my box so that the Eclipse subs face straight up on the higher end of the box, and i display the subs in frontside of the box? If anyone has ever put a box in their 3rd gen can u post some pics? if not, anyone got some tips for me?
thanks guys

 

oh yea btw...

the Eclipse subs are 4ohm DVC's

 

You could wire those subs up in Series/Parallel to get a 4 Ohm final load on your RF amplifier. RF amps are not supposed to be run at less than 4 Ohms bridged. Or you can wire them up in parallel to each stereo channel for a 2 Ohm stereo load. The output from the amplifier will be the same total power in both cases.

 

workin on a dual 12" 1.0cF box now,
seeing if i cant modify the trunk so
i can have the subs sit up in the rear deck...
ideas?
BTW, here's my current setup, no updates yet:

sorry I forgot how to make the link in html

 

Take a look at this website it should give you some ideas about how to rebuild the rear deck for mounting your subs up there.

this pic is of my 2 12" W6 JL subs. there is a PPI amp on the back of the box. its not the best setup because i was in a rush to hear some real bass when i got them!

 

it helped alot...

 

Hey man, I'd like to know how you mounted your amp in the trunk floor like that? Do you have a apic of the underside of it so i have an idea on how to build my amp board. I just dont know how to make it flush with the floor that way. Thanks
