I got 2 of these 2002 model subs...aw1200q... and about 4 cubic ft to play with....what is the best setup for them? got a jbl 1200.1 for the amp. should i do 1 in a ported box...or 2 in a ported box with less airspace per sub?
Has anyone had these subs on a meter yet? not the aw1200x subs.....just the aw1200q's i do not care what anyone says, they are a world of difference between them.....I owned a 1200x, I beleive it is a far better sub.....

I had two in my civic each in their own virtual technologies box. They were powered off an old 600 watt orion amp and still hit 149.4. I would go with the both of them in VT boxes I think are like 2.5 cubes tuned to 30 hz or so check out their website it will tell ya.

you need at least 2^3 per sub..2.7^3 each sub would be nice....
what type of car/truck??

i put up a 55 on the audiocontroll meter and i also had 4 of them with two planet audio 2250d's on them and it really hurt my feelings to know that was all they had in them. A fellow installer is doing 55's with 2 of the zetar 15's from planet audio and it made me sell the audiobahn's and get 4 zetar's it is expected to do 65's or higher. just something to think about..

dude, did you ever try diff boxes, diff power, more power etc....?? numbers are all in the installs
hey, did you ever think of going sealed, I have heard a few that have slamed!!
i also heard a 1500Q in a jeep in a 1.7 cubed box that took my head off, bahns specs aren;t to bad I guess, so i say that you do have enuff space!!!

i have tried them at 2^ sealed,2^ ported,1^ sealed and the best box that they played loudest in was 2.7 per sub tuned to 47htz with slide in street bass ports to tune it at 28htz for everyday use and this was in an explorer

yeah something seems off about that. You had 3000 watts more than I did and only got 5 dbs out of it? Grant it 5 dbs is alot but still something seems off. I have had nothing but props for those subs. I took em out of my civic and put them in my buddies 4runner and they are slammin in it. Havent put it on a mic or anything and doubt it ever will but im impressed with them. Esp. for the money
