For a ported box for a power acoustik mofo 12 inch dual 4-ohm, what should the cubed ft be and tuned at how many hz? and how many ohms should my amp be and how many watts? thanks

This recommend spec are on there website but for loud deep bass I would a 3 cu ft box tune to 32 hz this sub handle way over 1500 watts but 1200 would be just enough for it

If you are going to use a single 12" it is better if you get the dual 2 ohm as this will come down to 1 ohm and most amps would be 1 ohm stable in this power braket. 1000 rms at 1 ohm is good enough to shake this beast. Doesnt need more.i have used 2.5 and 3 cube boxes. 3 is better. It is not a low frequency sub so dont tune too low. 38 hz is lowest i would go. It is loud though !!! Excellent value for your money. Just remember to break it in well before you turn it up.

The company recommends a 2.0cubed ft, also recommended to be tuned for 36hz. For the Amp it really depends. I went with the companys Amp the PA BAMF-4000 watt series (which doesn't actually putout that high of a number). But it still puts out a high watt. Literally, this system eats at power so quick, at first time I installed it I killed my alternator and battery less than 10mins and the car was running. This system has serious power if your car can provide it. I'm running at a safe 1600watts for my cars sake.

The amp is great. Never had any issues with it. It will put out 160W per channel at 8 ohms ( I believe Peavey Black Widows are 8 ohms) Depending where you are using the setup, it should be loud enough.

I have it running 2 mtx 10" subs! Very pleased with it! I believe they are 500 watt 4 ohm maybe??? Don't totally understand how all that works! I just know it pushes them very well! Hope that helps!!!

I have not hooked it up yet. On my receiver though I have separate sub woofer outputs. Put if you do hook it up in parallel it would be 4 ohms. Most systems are ok at 4 ohms.

I hooked it to system with 8 ohm impedance and works perfect!However, buy an oversized electrical wall box or an open audio box, otherwise unit fitting will give you headaches.

What would a proper rms be? I have the sub wired to 1 ohm to my amp which pushes 1000x1 at 1ohm Thanks in advance, I never knew the sub would omit a electrical type smell while being broken in. (All my wiring is spot on accurate)

If you are running an 8 ohm amp it is 200 watts RMS / 400 watts peak. if you are running a 4 ohm amp its 400 watts RMS / 800 watts peak. If you are using this with another cab and splitting the power... you can definitely crank the volume more without clipping. If this cab is used by itself.. you want to keep you volume down. Just start with you bass vol set on 10 and with the amp volume at 0 and gradually work you way up so you don't overload your speakers. Numbers are just numbers, this cab can handle a lot of volume.

It's a really nice box, hope you have plenty room it's a decent size and very deep for big magnet subs and has a labryth build for deep bass. I don't know what ohms your going to run. I think that subwoofer is 4ohm you can look up how to wire it down to 2ohm, sometimes even in the installation instructions. But I love that box and I'm only pushing 500 watts and it shakes my SUV, I'm using pure copper wires throughout my setup though.

Depends on how much power you are putting into the system. I have two of these on an AQ1200. But they could take more. If you want more volume at lower rms, use two subs. Double cone volume-> 3db, double rms-> 3db. 6db I'd twice as loud to the human ear. As far as sound quality I think these aren't the most accurate subs but they definitely could be a lot worse. If you listen to lots of rap and boomy sounding bass, go with this sub, ported at 35hz in 1.5 to 2 cubic ft of box

Your going to want a mono channel class D. Something that can push 2000 watts at least. Dont cheap out on an amp because it will over heat and burn out. Hifonics makes some decent amps. whatever wattage you want to run to it get a amp that will do at least 1000 more than that and just turn it down a bit when your tuning it. Lets say you want to run 2000watts, if you use an amp thats rated for max 2000 watts youll be stressing it constantly and it wont last you long. Also make sure you do not mount it on the sub box or in an area were there isnt enough room for it to breath.

According to Pyle it will present an 8 ohm load or better to the amplifier. I have not hooked mine up yet. It took forever to find an appropriate depth box with a mounting I could be comfortable with. The box depth is the big issue. then I had to paint the box to work with the wall. Mounting was the next issue. To say it fits in any box is total bull.I spent 3 weeks looking for a proper receptical box, with a mounting I could live with.

These woofers have been redesigned with great improvements overall. I used the older version with a 250 watt rms Monolithic amp with no problems @ 4 Ohms. I'm sure you will be pushing the limits at 5oo W rms @2 ohms, but the speaker will be agile and fast and you will not have problems if you don't crank it to max levels. The safer route If you will be cranking hard, will be to move to the next level which is the P2D4-12 rated at 800W @ 2 or 4 ohm, I will not be as responsive, but it can handle 800W!

The amp pushes 1000watts RMS @ 1OHM. I would recommend two 10in subwoofers each rated at about 500watts RMS with a single 2ohm voice coil so they can be wired in a parrallel circuit to obtain a 1OHM load from the amp. This box should also be ported.

I'd suggest a 1000 watt or 1600 watt alpine my amp I had blew cuz subs couldn't reach limit at 1600 watts rms so I figure since alpine knows alpine best use it!

I run two mofo 12's, they run great with these amps, I have two of them. I'd suggest a ported box, but then again that's me. I have a Chevy hhr, so it's a little much for my small car, but I love it. Hope this helps you. Enjoy them if you do get them, I know I do.

2 ohm, I have dual 12s both running 2 ohms with a 3000 watt amp, sounds amazing and I'm still breaking it in, but 2 ohm in my eyes is for more than one sub to divi the power more equally

Manual doesn't say. Actually the best educated advice is to no buy this amp. If they claim 8000 watts off an outlet it's a boldfaced lie. You would be lucky to get 50watts rms out of each channel. It's bridgable so yes, based on that alone it should be stable to 4 ohms. Best guess would be about 65 watts rms into a 4 ohm load. Expect to get what you pay for and realize this is no Russound or speaker craft amp.
