That is the recommended box by the manufacturer who happens to be an active member of the shack. There are also build designs on the AVS site. Just look around.Sorry i used the words car audio, that opened up a can of worms i didnt mean to open.
I really want to build a sealed box, so im looking into subs that will perform well in one that is about 4 cu ft max. the Malestrom was suggested to me and now im confused. Any help for a sub that fits those requirements is appreciated thanks.
Why are you intent on a sealed box? I hope you realize, when you use a Behringer DCX2496 or comparable DSP controller (as is the plan here for any serious DIY sub set up), this device can make a high quality ported cabinet sound EXACTLY like a sealed subwoofer, except the ported unit will have far higher output and lower distortion in the lowest octave.Sorry i used the words car audio, that opened up a can of worms i didnt mean to open.

I'm still unable to get the port air velocity low enough. At maximum power.What size box did you model the axis with? Slot or tube ports?

Talk to Warpdrv. He owns both!I dont really need the smallest box, i think i have her talked into a box around 4cu ft at most. Ive heard 8w7's in the car audio world and i just like the sound of the 12's more.
Is there anyone that has heard both the W7 and the Maelstrom and can compare the sound of the 2 drivers?
My amp came in yesterday, but i have nothing to hook it up to yet![]()
Can he really go wrong here. It doesn't matter what you build as long as you do it well it will blow away anything you could have bought commercially.Talk to Warpdrv. He owns both!![]()
Looks like you'll have to build another sub then have a pairHey guys, I am new to this forum (1st post). I've been trolling quite a bit and would be interested in your comments on the following situation.
I have a 12W7 (sealed cabinet) which I built for my car. I am now planning a home theater and considering using this driver/cabinet. Here's my problem -- I can't seem to find any amp which is stable at 2 ohm (bridged) in order to drive the 3 ohm 12W7 with reasonable power (as I will have to compensate with a substantial eq, etc.). I really like the ep2500 but have seen where some have even had issues runnin bridged mode @ 4ohms. I am planning to use a BFD DSP1124 for the eq.
Does anyone know if I can actually use a single channel on ep2500 (not bridged). I see the rating is 2x1200 watts @ 2ohm. Would this hurt the amp with one channel not being used? I really like the ep2500 for the price but not sure if this amp would work for me.
Your best bet is by far the EP2500 and I doubt you will need all of it's power to drive this sub to your desired SPL unless you are just a deaf man. It will have no issues driving your sub. the amp is very stable and has been used for the 13w7 as well.Hey guys, I am new to this forum (1st post).

Sweet.. quick fix. I'll just have to "pass the hat" for funds for another W7Looks like you'll have to build another sub then have a pair![]()
Thanks lsiberian. So it sounds like running an ep2500 in bridged mode (w/3ohm load) should be okay as long as I don't go crazy with the levels.Your best bet is by far the EP2500 and I doubt you will need all of it's power to drive this sub to your desired SPL unless you are just a deaf man. It will have no issues driving your sub. the amp is very stable and has been used for the 13w7 as well.
However be careful eqing low frequencies. We don't want you to blow these beautiful subs. I suggest you model your sub in WinISD Pro.
The load is really more like a 3 ohm load in my modeling and the EP2500 could easily handle that bridged IMO.Sweet.. quick fix. I'll just have to "pass the hat" for funds for another W7
I see you have the ep2500. Bridged or 2-channel?
I also see you have an XPA-5 - nice! I am running an XPA-2 on my mains (lascalas) - that's why I need lots of power for my sub. Current sub is a polk dswpro600.
I'd really like to find someone running a 2-3ohm load from an ep2500.
I have two kappas so I run 2-channel, and as most here know its unrealSweet.. quick fix. I'll just have to "pass the hat" for funds for another W7

In the right box the JL Audios are about twice as loud as the Kappa's in capability, but sawz can tell you that will end up being head room in most cases.I have two kappas so I run 2-channel, and as most here know its unreal![]()
