    My sister is looking to add a sub and amp to her 07 charger. She came to me and I showed her a few things. Prices are too high. I'm trying to get her into a single 12" ia lethal injection or fi Q possibly icon. So we're looking at around 1000 watts rms. showed her the sundown 1000.. Too much ($289). What do you guys recommend in the $150 or so range for an amp? Is something of fair quality able to be had new for this price or is used the route I'm going to need to take? Just looking to toss around some ideas and see what others have had experience with.

    Sub choice is pretty much set. I have a friend with a single 12" fi Q and she liked how it sounded. Absolutely hates how my btl 18 sounds lol. From my testing the icon bested the fi Q and sounded damn good so I would suppose that's a good option too for a few more bucks. She's cheap and knows nothing.

    I need a little advice. I recently sold a sub on Craigslist. Icon 12 D2. It has literally sat in my garage for over a year. When I tested the coils back in May of 2014 I got a solid 1.8 on each side. I haven't played the sub once since. The new owner tested the coils at 2.4. When wired at 1ohm he's getting 1.8.

    Can anyone help US understand what's going on? Is it something to worry about? Can a sub sitting do this to the coils?

    My car is exactly the same way. I just said hell with it and put subs and port facing backwards. Shit slams.. Turn it around with out sealing it off.. Sounds like a 10 inch walmart kicker in a sealed box.

    Been over a year since I turned the box around, maybe I'm due for another try. I've posted my frustrations on this vehicle in the past. Wasn't much help. I'm convinced it's the vehicle. Had a single 12" ICON in there and it was total ass. Turn around stick same sub and box in my buddy's car and omg. Sub is amazing! Sounded louder and cleaner than his existing Fi Q 12". Back into my trunk and it's garbage. Lol. Enough complaining. Good luck with your install buddy. Hope you get better results than me

    I've had a hell of a time getting a substage I'm happy with in my 2011 Malibu. Tried about 3 different enclosures and sub combos. im convinced it has something to do with the car. I'm sure my install isn't best of the best but it just hasn't come together for me. I was able to get 4 cubes ported into the trunk openingnull.jpg

    Edit- I never sealed around my box with any wood or anything perminent but I stuffed 2 sweatshirts on each side trying to fill the gap. Still wasn't impressed

    Have you faced subs and port back?

    Yes I have. This car just is a pain in the ass for me. Tried many different boxes and setups. Taken the box I pictured with the sundowns and put them in my buddy's Grand Prix and it slammed. Back to my car it sucks. If the rear seats aren't down its embarrassing. I have more than one vehicle so I offically said fuck it on this car. So tired of trying different shit and being unhappy. I'm not going to foam it or anything else more perminent to further ruin the car and still potentially be unhappy. I've never in my life had so much trouble getting a strong sub stage in a vehicle like this one.

    I am not running active at the moment. Maybe someday when I quit being scared lol. I like the double din x5700. I have not ran it to its full potential at all yet. Hell I still haven't installed speakers yet just running the Bose stock highs. Only big difference I noticed between the 2 is no left and right seperation. I loved my 80prs in my Malibu but wanted a solid dd unit for my tahoe. For my needs and possible future needs I'm happy with it.

    Looking good. Just got my Tahoe put together the other day. Sub stage at least. Doors to come. Good work!

    where is the build log?

    hdrox88, im jelly that it was so easy to get to your alternator. Any more plans for this build?

    Didn't take pics of my work. Just a big ole 18 in a tahoe. Nothing unique or special to it. Plus I broke a few panels. Looks like ass till I replace them.
