Mag D2 for in home use.

MrWhite · 06-25-2008, 11:13 PM

I have a 12 inch Mag (the last commercially available Mag) and wanted to know what the enclosure recommendations are for in home use, both sealed and ported if applicable.

Will be using it for HT and music.

Thanks.

I was planning on getting myself a new Mustang GT, and having the old mag in the old Mustang, and new Mag in the new Mustang. But with the gas prices the way they are, I don't think I can afford a car with a V8, so I'll stick with my old V6 Mustang for now. But doing that, it means replacing the old Mag if I want the new Mag. I could either leave the old Mag and not buy a new Mag, or put the old Mag in the home system so I have room for the new Mag. So, yeah, I was waiting on what you had to say about an old 12" Mag in a home system.

Here was the PM reply:

1.3 cubes can work in home audio with a decent amount of EQ on the bottom end. That size and type of an enclosure for the v3's is good for car audio but the v3 really needs to be ported for home audio. You can try it out though. Who knows, you might like it. Just don't be surprised if it doesn't perform really well in a sealed box for home audio.

In addition to that, the older Mag 12's do very well for HT when ported. Sealed, not so much. The Mag 15's do well sealed or ported for HT.

I'm guessing a HT setup should be tuned lower then the car recomended enclosure of 2 cubic ft tuned to 32? How low should I tune? Oh yeah, how much power and what kind of home amp should I use?
