Need advice on audio built....

[speeed]

Already ordered a fox box for dual 12's, would like to install a pair of BMmkIV but not sure if will works, anybody knows about it?
People from fox acoustics said Alpine type R are the best match, just wondering if anybody can review them....
For the rest of the build, my budget is around 1500 +/-
I hope Audio experts can chime in and give me a good advice

About the HU im planning to use a Pioneer that I had from my previous car...

 

[DavidRam]

Unfortunately, the Fox Boxes are way too much air volume for the BMs. The BMs need between .5 to .6 cuft, they are showing the enclosures at double that, 1.2. Someone please correct me if I am mistaken...

Read this from the owner of Stereo Integrity:
"Can I put the BMmkIV in a smaller enclosure or a larger enclosure?

Yes you can. However, power handling and/or low frequency extension will be affected. The BMmkIV has been engineered to provide optimum performance in 0.5 ft^3 sealed. Making the enclosure volume significantly smaller than recommended will cause a reduction in low frequency extension. On the other side, making the enclosure volume larger will significantly reduce the power handling of the driver. If you make the enclosure smaller than recommended (0.5 ft^3 sealed), we suggest using an aperiodic membrane such as a ScanSpeak Variovent. Making the enclosure larger will diminish power handling as follows: In 0.75 ft^3 power handling is reduced to 375 watts. In 1 ft^3 the power handling is reduced to 300 watts."

You can ad material to the inside of the box to reduce the volume.

Skar ivx will fit and sound damn good

 

[DavidRam]

Skar ivx will fit and sound damn good

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention Skar... Those would be great, too!

 

[speeed]

Already ordered the Skar's.
Now what about speakers, how's the speakers set up?
One on each door and one in front? What about sizes, or what you guys would recommend?

 

[scotts2012ram]

Do you want to do a 2way or 3way?

 

[speeed]

Do you want to do a 2way or 3way?

Would like 3 way

 

[DavidRam]

Would like 3 way

Nice, I like 3ways! What's the budget for them?

 

[speeed]

Around 1000 / 1200

I wouldn't ever think about running Skars. How are they? Sundown Audio makes great amps and subs. That looks like a nice customer enclosure. I might have to go that route w/ the two 12's. I'll trade out my W7 for a couple W6's.

For a 1000 Focals can be had off of ebay. Also check out 12velectronics.com. They have all the Hybrid audio gear. Which is by far the best.

 

[Etroze86]

Sundown actually designed skar's original ivx and vvx sub's and amps are pretty damn good.

For 1k I would look towards dynaudio or hybrid audio as they are both great and can be had with passive xovers.
