3 12's
 
ok so i want to install 3 12 in subwoofers. i just dont know how i should set them up. any suggestions? i was thinking of having all 3 against the rear facing forward with the two outer subs angled in a little bit

Why so many? lol

chuckd05 07-06-2011 01:29 AM

what do you plan to do to your interior speakers? 3 12's is beyond overkill in the Z....

I just ordered one 6 inch bazooka bass tube to stow away in hatch area in front of you spare.... I couldnt imagine 3 12's lol...

Forgive me but I agree overkill and stupid I mean come on

Scubasteve 07-06-2011 03:48 PM

I know its over kill but I like my bass plus it would def be original I mean I have the subs and amp just done know how I wanna set it up

Two is overkill in a car the size of the z. Three may even break the trunk lid but hey whatever you want. These kinds of systems I just shake my head at.

Despite it being overkill, use the link below:

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams

This will help you select the correct configuration for the subs (ie...SVC vs DVC and OHM ratings) in addition to how they should be wired to your amp. Good luck.....

PS...... I run two 8's and it hits hard and clean. Just do a single high quality 12 inch sub. Your money would be better spent on a quality HU, amplification, components and processing. JMHO.......

Oh..I'd appreciate some rep for the link......:)

Well I have the subs and amp already and I do know know how to hook them up I don't know how I wanna position them.

RekeHavoc 07-07-2011 01:17 PM

Position 1 of them in a zenclosures box. Position the other 2 on eBay.

are you wanting to keep the spare tire?

Scubasteve 07-07-2011 01:37 PM

lol 3 12s!!!! You won't even be able to hear the words to a song...just bass. I think you might even be looking at damage to rear hatch. My buddy had 2 12s in his 2004 BMW 3-series, and he has some damage to trunk lol. I can't even imagine 3

Yep I have seen two 12's crack a rear hatch in a SUV from bass.

That gives you all sorts of possiblities then, lots of room with out the spare and foam. i would look at all 3 facing up at the very back of the car, amps further forward, more towards the brace.
However i'll be a sheep too, and say that is a LOT of bass for a Z, i would just do 2! LOL

Scubasteve 07-07-2011 03:54 PM

Lol I have no worries on damage lol but I'll make sure to post the decible levels once I get it all done
