I wouldn't recommend having your alt. re wound due to the fact you will end up spending more money in the long run. Plus your amperage at idle will be worthless. Check into DC power, they will help ya out dcpowerinc.com

You said "6db out of 18db", which means you must be talking about the EQ network built into the amplifier. 6db of boost requires that the amplifier output 4x the power. So if you have the gain set to where the amplifier is outputting 1250w and then apply the additional 6db of boost, the amplifier will try to output 5000w of power at and near the center frequency of the EQ. What's going to happen when that 1250w amplifier tries to output 5kw? Clipping. Negative kicker sx amplifiers have no dials its all digtial through a controller on the dash the amp has built in DSP, Kompressor, and EQ as well as LPF, Band pass, and HPF. The Eq focus is set to flat at 60hz with a Q value of 1.0 which is nothing. As far as gain goes it has three option 1v-2v-4v. It then has an adjustment of gain in db with a high of 18db per channel and a low of 0, 0 is no gain. According to the manual: Gain Menu; Now use the UP and DOWN keys to increase or decrease the gain of the amplifier in .5 dB increments from 0 dB to +12 dB. (.0 to 12.0) EQ Menu; BOOST/CUT is how much you want to boost or cut the equalizer and has a range of -18 dB to + 18 dB in .5 dB steps In which case, if you are using the adjustment that goes up to 18db that would be the equalizer and not the gain as the gain only goes to 12db.

just a little taste of what it does on some powa. 25hz door open, mic on dash.

On the second part of your question. A drop in comparison to me can be fair if the box is within the specs suggested for both drivers. But you are also correct that some people do not consider it fair since they may not be in the same alignment. You also have to look at the frequency they peak at. The true comparison would not be in a car where the cabin gain of the car may factor into the spl readings due to the two different drivers peaking at different frequencies. In one persons car on the same power in the same box, the BL might be louder than the BTL. In a different box or a different car, the opposite maybe true. A lower peak frequency may make one seem louder while really the other is louder on a meter. There are a lot of factors when making comparisons. Another subject I hate. The assumption that the driver with rated power handling closest to the amount of power you have is the beat choice drives me insane!! Brian

Go to www.the12volt.com and click on the subwoofer wiring diagram if you want to play with ohm loads of different voice coil Yes you can:

Yeah the SSD's will work in that enclosure: SSD Enclosure Recommendations - SSA Car Audio Forum Im in the Arlington area by the stadiums.

um no i think you build the box then pick the sub... lol no shit.

all in all, brandon daily go with his idea and sue his ass for the cost of the wood you wasted. lol use winisd and see.

no, its not just a port thread. maybe to you. its about helping an SSA member when he needs it.

Doesnt sound legit to me at all

i think that is a insult to ia ^^^^^^
