I just picked up some 02' phoenix gold XMax 12" woofers. I tried looking them up but couldn't find anything. Im basically looking for rms power info, air space needed... Etc. Thanks in advance.

They appear to be single 4ohm voice coils.

What amp are you running?

Here is a diagram of possible wiring configurations.

I wasn't able to pull anything on enclosure volume. Do you know if you want sealed or ported? Without proper specs its easier to get a ported enclosure completely wrong.

Id start with a simple .5 Cu ft enclosure for each and add poly fill along the way for tuning.

BTW are these the carbon fiber versions? I would not be surprised if its grown brittle over time and a few hard pounds and these things pop. Phoenix gold was never known for producing quality subs.

I have them on a small crunch amp that was sitting in my closet. They are the carbon fiber versions. I have been playing them for the past week and they are shaking the hell out of my car. They are currently in a q-logic box but barely any air space. It looks like a truck box.

Make sure you hook it up correctly to your alpine pullout and your zap board too.
