Hy, my name is Jose, I'm from El Salvador, Central America, I own a Honda Accord 1994 LX and I was searching over the net for some information on subwoofer boxes. I currently own two 12 inch subwoofers (model: XS-L122P5) and one amplifier (XM-D6000GTX) all from the same brand, Sony Xplod.
I'm a car audio competitor which currently is partly sponsored by Omnisport/Sony here in El Salvador, they are one of the local dealers of Sony, and we get discount on their products. We have 3 car shows every year, one in october, the second one in november and finally in may.
Currently I have a sealed enclousure for both my subwoofers which is 1 inch thick, and is sealed in the middle of both woofers ( I used to own only 1 subwoofer from the design before the one I have at the moment and had a tube enclousure along with a 760W amp, also sony, but since I bought 2 new ones I changed for a box enclousure which a friend of mine lend it to me, since he had built another one).
However in my recent carshows I've been attending my spl measurement has been 134.4dB, so I'm quite worried since I was expecting a better dB measurement, from my new equipment, this is also because a friend of mine has 2 of the old subwoofer series, same 12 inch, but 1200W, where as mine are 1300W, and he scored 137.7db with a 1100W class D amplifier of the same brand, Xplod.
And I've come to the conclusion that my box and of course my cd player are someone of a problem since it is 45Wx4 and I need to get at least a 52Wx4 cd player. I wanted to know if anyone has any experience perhaps with this brand and would happen to know what is best for this, a sealed box or a ported box, thanks for any help or advice you might know.
I'm currently searching and testing boxes, perhaps on another ocation I might be able to post some pictures of my box for you to analize, since I'm getting prepared for the next carshow which is the 2nd of Oct. :thumb
