I remember when I only had my two 10's, i tried having them firing in all kinds of other directions for a little while, but there wasn't any real bass. There was a little bit, but there was a lot more when I finally just left them firing down.

Give it a shot and let me know how it turns out. I'm curious if this is universal.

Well, I'm not sure about your car, but I got the best results from having them firing down. Just gotta make sure the sub doesn't slap against the carpet (or whatever you have under it)

What are you trying to stop, again? the trunk from flexing?

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of people I know from around here think my box is too small because my subs won't bottom out. Sooner or later, they'll listen to me about telling them to use the subsonic filter.

I would like an amp that will let me throw 5000 watts to a pair of 18" AA Mayhems. Girl says she wants a lot of bass. She just doesn't know.

So I know this will sound completely noob-tastic, but I was wondering how you would power a sub if you wanted to make a high power home audio setup.

Lol, no. I think you pretty much got it all. I thought it was weird too. I didn't put any consideration into the rattling. I was just stating an opinion on down firing subs

Well I personally have always recommended putting feet on the sub and firing it down. I think it just has a cool sound to it

5.25" depth 8.25" overall basket OD (no gasket) 7.25" cut-out diameter 6.25" magnet diameter That's dead sexy. When is the 10" coming out?

OOH! Get pics, but if it's at all possible, try to get it red hot again!

What about the mounting depth? How deep is that?

Those low notes are put out by the excursion of the sub. A sealed box makes the pressure that the sub exerts force back onto itself, making it rebound faster and not allowing for that full excursion, unless you are using a very large sealed enclosure. ported lets the sub "breathe" so to speak and allows for more and deeper movement of the cone. (as far as my understanding goes) Not really. Not really to me or RickMorgan?

Well actually, I am going to have subs, mids, and tweets all in the same power. I just wasn't sure how you would go about powering a Fi Q in a home audio application.

How many QVC subs are there? I mean, I've only seen that one 18" Focal sub being QVC

Oh my god, if anything ever happens to my 10's, I'm getting two of these bad boys.

I've been needing to do a big three upgrade on my car (1989 Nissan Pulsar 1.6 with two RF P1's, and a 15" Sony Xplod). It's not that the headlights dim bad at all or anything. I just want to be able to look under my hood and see some BIG ASS 1/0 gauge.

Thanks, guys. This girl was asking me to build her some speaker towers, but I had no idea what I was going to power them with since I couldn't use a car audio amp.

Sounds like you should go with the BL. That amp is 1 ohm stable, right? *Edit* Also, did you wire your 12" Kicker to 1 ohm, because the dual 2 ohm L5's are rated at 750 watts. If you wired it to 1 ohm, then no wonder you killed it.

This is REALLY clean. Got any pics of it in your car?

I like the build. Been looking to do something like this with my setup, except I have my subs firing down.

Well what are you looking for? *edit* As far as sound, I mean.

If you can handle the parts with the chick singer, Rabbit Junk - The Best Revenge. Also, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg - 187um Deep Cover Remix 8 Ball and MJG - Clap On Young Buck - Who Run It Rammstein - Mann Geggen Mann Yung Joc - Might As Well (if you can still find it. I get the feeling that iTunes got rid of it.)

You mean low?

Yeah, there is still a lot of room left over. I bet it's really loud too. But why are you going to rebuild it again?
