I took the box out of my old truck, it had 2- 10" HX2 Fosgates, wired to 2ohm and run with a sigle channel amp. (Fosgate 1001Bd) the box had 1 connection for the speakers.

I get my new box from Supercrew Sound and pull the subs out of the old one and find out the new box is divided and not a single chamber.

Question is can I still put the subs in and wire them the same way they were, except the wires will be exposed instead of run inside the box, and still run the single channel amp with the dual chamber box?

I am going to try to give them a call on friday to see if they make a sigle chamber box like the one I got off of them for my 99.

 

Yes, you will just have more wires outside your box. What coil configuration are those subs (SVC 4 ohm, Dual 2,??)

If you really want a common chamber box, you could cut out the divider. I dont see the point in it though. My multi-sub boxes always have dividers, then act nicely for internal bracing too. You could even just drill a small hole in the divider and run the wire through it, from one chamber to the other, if you only want to use one terminal on the box.

 

They are DVC 2ohm, from what I can tell from the wiring Diagram in the manual. I didn't pull out my multimeter to check them.

Will I have a problem with both running off the same signal and being in basically seperate boxes?

I was ready to ship it back, but if I can use it with a few minor mods, that iswhat I will do.

 

You're going to want to keep the enclosures divided anyway. If you share space with two subs and one is louder than the other, the quieter one will just cancel out the added volume from the other one.

It's pretty easy to hide the wires behind the box anyway...

 

Ok, I would just wire each sub in series, then run a wire from one sub to the other inside the box, and from one of the subs to its terminal cup, and that cup to the amp. Just drill a small hole to feed the wire through on the inside of the box, and put a little silicone around it to seal it up.

Are the wires really that noticable when you just wire each sub up to its own terminal cup?

There are no problems running two or more subs on the same amp, in a divided box, or even two totally separate boxes, as long as each subs airspace is the same. And with that box I see no reason why they shouldnt be, and if they weren't, Id take that box back and shove it up their rear end and tell them to learn how to measure..........ok, so maybe not lol.

 

Here are a couple of the box installed. It is even with the front of the seat when they are down.





Sound is good, no doubt better once I get my new fronts in.

 

Lookin good
