Subthum dual 10" box
Hello. I am interested in the Subthump dual 10" box for my C5. I currently have some Fosgate punch HX2's sitting around but I am not too sure about only .49 for each sub in that box.... Do you think with that little amount of air space it will sound good, or should I just do the single box? Also if I had to I could sell the subs I have now for something that would work better in the dual box. Thanks!

Hey. Nice setup! I saw that on the subthump website. I think I am going the single route. I realized that it will be on the bose system so I can't have it too loud, also for weight. Thanks for the help everyone. I will post pictures as soon as I finish. Also do you ever put the cover over the sub? Does the sound change at all? Thanks.

The subthump box was ideal for this sub.

Thanks for the compliments:-) The hx2s are made to work in pretty small spaces. Therefore, they will sound just fine with that amount of air space. If you do plan to use box, then be ready, because this thing will pound your brains out. I'm not joking, it will hit hard..

I personally like the older RF's over some of their newer models.

subs and amp help
I currently have a JL250/1 feeding a 10w3v2-d4.
I bought a JL500/1 and a dual sub box to plunk in some 10w6v2-d4's.
After reading this thread, I think I should just stick with one 10w6v2-d4 with the upgraded amp.
Any input on this move? Should I go with the duals and the new amp?
Or stick with one sub and the new amp?
These are going in mike76002's boxes that he made. Either way, I will have a spare box for sale in Chicago(black carpet)

Did the install yesterday! I love it!! Subthump box is better then i could have ever imagined. Everything fit perfectly and it sounds amazing! And it is on the stock HU and stock speakers. I am very happy with the outcome and I will try to take some pictures and post them in a few days.
My twin 10's hit soooo hard, I'm afraid I might break the rear window!!! Sounds awesome....
