So I've got a question for the gallery.
First my goals for these subs are NOT HT. I do however listen to some bass heavy stuff like dubstep and the like so I like bass, but I dont needo 120db bass down to 1hz
.
I was given 2 Infinity Kappa 120.3 Perfect subs. Now I know that I've seen a LOT of Infinity 1262 dual opposed builds lately.
The Kappas only need 350 wpc and are a DVC 4 ohm load. That means by itself I can either get a 8 or 2 ohm load. If I wire them together I can get a 4 or 1 ohm load.
Here is what I am wondering about. I REALLY like the concept of going with multiple subs placed around the room for a smooth response over the entire room. I also like sealed since the boxes are smaller and easier to put together. I'm wanting to try and pull off 4 total. Since I only have 2 Kappa 12" I was thinking about either buying 2 more (of the current Kappa 12" subs), so I match brand and T/S specs OR going with 2 1262's since I'm gonna guess they are a bit cheaper.
Now here is my question. If I build 4 sealed boxes how big a difference is it going to make for EQ purposes if I wire them into 2 pairs so I get a 4 ohm load total? Its MUCH easier to find a 600 wpc x 2 @ 4 ohm amp v a 350 wpc x 2 @ 8 ohms x 2 amps.
Will that work decent?
