I just discovered this today. Wow....I am hooked. This stuff plays some good bass notes. Anyone on here listen to it? If so can you suggest some stuff for me to listen to. This is an example of what I have found today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUFbOh3Vzjo I dont know what it is but I love it.

I am thinking about doing an IB setup next. Was wondering what would be better for me to try to do. 2 15'' or 2 12'' or trying to squeeze 2 18'' subs into my car. Right now I have the big 3 done stock batt and I am driving a 2007 Honda Accord Coupe. Mind you this IB setup will be going in my trunk and the seats will be folded down during use. Oh and I am using a SAX-1200D so I have got plenty of power. My other question is the power rating on these or 550 rms at 20hz. Does that mean I would tune my amp to put out rms power at 20hz? New to the idea of IB so any help is appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy

So from what I understood from your other post. Would I almost be better off doing 1 18 rather than 2? Seems like it would have more air space. I guess I will talk to the guys from Fi and see what they have to say.

So how would car use be different than any other. I'm really new to this IB idea. Do you have any tips on what to do. I have followed your build log and you are the reason I wanted to try this out.

It really bugs me to see someone messing around with a sub like this. If you are going to be retarded about it just send it to me before you fuck it up. I wish I had the money to spend on this sub and the amp to power it. There is people here that would love to have something like this and treat it great and this kid is going to end up pucking it up. What a retard. I can honestly say I have never had anyone piss me off on the internet as much as this kid does.

Well I actually already have someone lined up to buy my current setup besides my amp. Would running only two of the sa-8s be fine then. They are rated at 500 rms so that's only 1000 watts. Or would I be better saying screw it and move up to a sa-10 or sa-12. I just want to try something different and what says different than 8 inch woofers that can slam.

Hey guys havent been on in awhile but since then have decided to change my set up. Right now I am running a Lethal Injection 12 at 600wrms. I was thinking about using my amp to it's full potential and getting 3 sa-8. I have a SAX-1200D. Ok now on to my actual question. My wiring options are either 1.33333.... ohms or .5 ohms. Which ohm load would be better for my amp? I feel with the 1.3 ohm load the subs wont be seeing full power and I feel with the .5 ohm load I might ruin my amp. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Any help?

Kind of wanted to wow people with having 8 inch subs. I mean I guess I could just run two. Just seemed like a cool idea that's all.

That extra you pay for the sundown is definately worth it. You get what you pay for. The customer service alone is worth the extra money. That's my .02. You need to do what fits your budget.

Yea I think Youtube is your best bet you could also try uploading it to photobucket or something like that. Glad to hear you went with the 12. Bigger is better!!!! lol. I always look forward to watching your builds....etc. Keep up the good work!

We all know you are a picture whore but what about a video? I would love to see a 12'' pounding in the door of a Honda. Cant wait to see some more!!!!!

What a great guy Jacob is. I am/was in a pinch with my amp and he has been such a help. He is by far the best salesman/business owner I have ever dealt with. If you are considering buying anything from Jacob DO IT!!!!!!! You will thank yourself later. Thanks again Jacob for all the help. Jeremy

So I havent been on in awhile due to work and my amp being muffed up(my fault I think). I will be sending my amp into Sundown this week and while I am waiting to hear back about it I wanted to look into some component sets and I have found myself asking a couple of questions. Right now I have 2 pair of coaxial speakers, both being 6.5. I want to step it up into the big boy world and get a 2 way set to try out. My questions are will I be able to power them with just the head unit or should I look into getting a 2 channel amp? My head unit is the Alpine CDA-9883. Also I didnt know if I would be even better off keeping one set of coaxial speakers and just get two 6.5 mid bass drivers. Was looking at the Tang Band driver. Oh and my car is a 2007 Honda Accord Coupe. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Has anyone had any experience with the Hifonics Zeus ZXI6.5C 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component System? Like I said any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh and one last thing. God I cant remember anything......My budget is right around 100 dollars. That doesnt include if I need to get a 2 channel amp. Thanks again in advance. Jeremy

Is Woofersetc.com a good site to buy from. Has anyone bought anything off of it before?

Do you have any pictures of what your kicker panels look like. They did a good job matching the color too?

I have heard things about how they are too flimsy to work well. But on the plus side, I have also heard that with a little FG reinforcement inside they become really great units. I have seen them before, and even had my hands on them after they have been reinforced (never before hand, so I can't say how they feel from the factory), so I can say they fit really well and they are really nice looking. I had heard the same thing but I had heard instead of FG using dynamat or second skin. Kills two birds with one stone.

I was honestly thinking about picking up the Q-Forms Kick Panel. Seems pretty nice. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_044C6008D6/Q-Forms-Kick-Panel-Enclosures-Ivory.html?tp=404&tab=review. Going to look more into it though.

Guess I will have to start putting money aside to get this rolling. I am going to keep looking around and see what I can find. Thanks for the help.

Welcome as Denim said. You have definately come to the right place. I thought I knew quite a bit about car audio until I came here and since then I have learned so much. Everyone here is very helpful. On a side note I kind of wish my fiance showed as much interest in Car Audio as you do. She has a sub and all the speakers and head unit replaced in her car but that is only because I bought and installed it all. It's good to see a husband wife duo that can enjoy something together. Ok enough rambling. WELCOME!!! Jeremy

Let me get home from work. I believe I have it wrote down somewhere.

He takes a bit to get back to you. You might be better off to call if you need it right now. What is wrong with your amp? I have an issue with mine right now and am just waiting on the extra cash to send it back. Good luck man. Jacob is a great guy. I have e-mailed back in forth with him a bunch and he is very much into what he does. It's good to see an owner of a company taking charge like he does. Jeremy

Damn bro. Did you fab that yourself? Looks slick. God I wish I could hear it.

Guys he isnt asking about MDF prices. He is wondering if the sub and enclosure is worth 220. I personally have no experience with AA subs. I heard they are good. But hear say is just that hear say. Ask to hear it I guess. I mean it seems way underpowered so it wont perform that well anyway. Do what you want. The ultimate choice is yours and yours alone.
