Anyone Do 4 12's In A TA?
I was just wondering if anyone has done 4 12 inch subs in the rear of a trans am where the back seat is taking the beat seat out and the space of the back seats up.

it depends on airspace requirements but you can easily get 4 12" behind the seat and have the box going down into your t-top well. we built a box/wall that i think had 8 12" mmats subs (spl competition) but it was seriously underpowered with only one mmats amp so it wasn't nowhere near as loud as it looked lol.

I am rolling with a single DD9515 and hitting mid/high 140's, the box barely comes up past the shelf in the back... So unless your going all out spl 4 12's is waste of time/space...
I do need to find someone around OKC that can help me redo the port in mine, I built this one for an old sub I had and not the DD... I need more port area...

Im in the process of a budget 4 12" build..
all sealed. two in the rear well. and another 2 slanting down from the backseat to the rear well box. and it should end up looking like a big " V " so to speak.. all getting covered in vinyl and the amp mounted in the spare tire area.

Ill try to photoshop a pic of what im talking about..
I already bought a custom box for 2 of the 12's and I want to use it because it fits perfect. im just going to add this second box.
and since their sealed its not going to matter if their in 2 different boxes, as long as my cubes are roughly similar.

heres my idea..
i havent seen this done before. but the should look pretty damn clean
and loud too.
I'v had those kenwood subs for 3 years now.. rated at 400rms each and they are $60 a piece, and I have been putting 600rms each for the last 2 years DAILY. cant beat the price and wattage.
I plan on buying 4 new model ones.. i know i could get something better like Fi ssd's DC level 3's Audioque SD2.5's etc.. but this is a BUDGET build. and the subs never let me down.
my amps a Hifonics Brutus 2008d. 2000rms @ 1 ohm. and I have 0 gauge wire throughout the car. voltage stays right around 13 full tilt on 1200rms. so I should be fine with stock electrical on 2krms. but i need to fix my BCM the subs seem to have taken their toll on it the past year. cuts out a lot.

Should be interesting to see how this works out. I would suggest the Big 3 and maybe a second battery if you're going to use 2k daily. I did 1200w daily and saw some voltage drop when I turned the lights on full tilt. Try craigslist for something a little better then kenwoods and see if you can find anything.
And I thought you were doing ported which is why I was confused on the setup. Post results.
