shallow mount subs

ramhunter9 · Jul 14, 2010

what is the big deal ?? do they sound better ??

reason i ask is im thinking i need a better 12" sub . I have a kicker now and its only 200 rms .

I have a shallow mount sub (actually sitting in my garage!)

I ran it for a while, it did a good job, but I ended up replacing it - I think the issue I really had was with the box (**** box at the time).

I have a RF P3 Shallow 12" - I'll let you have it for $75.

From what I've heard, they don't sound better...they are just designed to sound good in places that won't fit a regular sub

well i have a shallow box as i need the room in the back of the MC this will be better for me . i posted my kicker comp 12 for sale in the for sale section . it is just to big depth wise for my box .

JJ pm returned .... mark it as sold bro

thats why i got them, i wanted 12's and the reg size were too tall!! mine sound great but cant really compare never had any others in the truck lol

i can vouche for the p3 shallows, i have two tens under the back seat and they sound waaaaaayyyy better than the cvr 12s i had back there before. i think they are 300 rms

0212353 · Jul 14, 2010

The P3 I have is a 400 watter.

Whats bad, I have only heard it in a ****** box. I never took the time to pop it in my box (and now I run a 10). Oh well, Dave will get it in a few days.

I like my CVR........but I am thinking about moving to a CVX........we'll see.

2 ohm load or 8 ohm load what is the difference ??

i see it can be hooked up 2 ways ? on the p3

0212353 · Jul 14, 2010

This one is a 4ohm DVC (which can be wired to produce 2 ohms).

the lower the ohm, the more power. (i know thats not the "right" way to say that, but its the easiest)

ramhunter9 · Jul 14, 2010

so wire that bad boy at 2 ohms then ?

0212353 · Jul 14, 2010

hells yeah

DisturbedGator · Jul 14, 2010

you have to make sure what ohm your amp is stable at. i have two p3 shallow 10s and they are both dual voice coil, i wired them up to present a 4ohm load to my amp. what you do is wire the dual voice coils on each sub together. i can bring up a diagram if youd like. but ^is right, less ohm more power, high end amps that are stable at 1ohm are expensive but produce big power

RH You said you amp is rated at 350w rms 1 channel bridged, 550 max, but what impedance is that stable at? That will tell you how you want to wire your speaker.

shallow 12's arent even as good as regular 10's. the only time shallows are ever good is in a regular cab where space is extremely limited. the only thing a shallow sub is better than is regular speakers.

RH do not get shallow subs. you have the room to get regular ones...do it right. shallows dont put out near the range or volume regular subs do.
