    I've currently got a Brand X audio BA18. I believe it's from a build house in the states that makes a Moab is it. I'm from the uk by the way.

    It's currently in a 4.5cuft box tuned to 30Hz with about 60sqin of port area. Although small it does sound nice. Just wondering what you guys would do with it. I can get some T/S specs up in a bit when home.

    Thanks karl

    It's being run off a sundown 3500 @ 1ohm.

    Currently running a 3500 at 1ohm.

    Haven't clamp metered it yet but what sort of voltage should i be seeing across the speaker terminals.

    Reason i ask is sub sound awesome at 71-72v but one notch more on the vol sends it up to 75v and I loose output and the sub makes a fart noise.

    Cheers your brother from across the water.

    I'm in the uk and the best budget subs have to be jbl gt's. So many different types of install with varying amounts of power all producing great results.

    Out of the four or five you mentioned I'd go Orion hcca. Cracking subs that take a load of abuse.

    I only comment on things of heard and budget jbl gt, more money the Orion.

    As I said to phi I'm a member on two caraudio forums in the uk. One is pretty frigging big.

    If say we get 12 from the US and 13 from the UK, do we all benefit from the cheaper price.

    I know the first question I get asked will be is it as accurate as a TL.

    If so I would imagine a lot of streetbassers will go for it. Dbdrag guys not so much as obviously dbdrag uses a TL. But well wait and see.

    Struggling to get my head round this.

    I've got 1 battery up front. Then I've got/will have 6-8hawkers in the footwells. Most likely to be 2 behind drivers seat, 2 behind passenger seat and 2 in the front footwell.

    I'll only be using the hawkers when showing off or at shows.

    I've got two sundown saz-3500s & ATM 1 phd 2200.

    Cable wise I've got 25-30m of 50mm2 & a 5m run of 150mm2.

    What is going to be the best way of wiring this up?

    Also how would you fuse it? That's going to be a lot of fuses if I put one inbetween each battery.

    Anyone used these.

    I understand I will loose higher up but would like to limit it. Scorng is based on an average so I'm looking for the best average. If that means higher 30-35 and low 20-25 then so be it.

    Equipment is already bought so well get testing. Then I'll let you all know the outcomes.

    I've got an 18 can't go any bigger in my boot I'm afraid lol.

    Yeah was thinking along those lines. I'll start at 20Hz and work my way up.

    I'm only going to have a couple of weeks testing before the first comp so was seeing if there's a quicker place to start. Not to worry.

    The reason I ask is I'm looking at increasing my output at 20hz & 25hz with as little affect on 30Hz & 35hz.

    I compete in propper droppers which is tested at the above frequencies and your peak then an average taken.

    I'll be running a 6k 18" off of 2 sundown saz-3500s. I think it's called a MOAB in the states! It's branded up as a brand x audio BA series 18 in the uk.

    Any ideas? It's a 4inch coil and nice strong motor so I'll be going slightly smaller on the enclosure side of things to help with the extra power.

    Read that other thread and wow. Full of loads of info, useful info.

    If you were to tune to say 20Hz wouldn't you roll off higher up the range at say 30-35Hz, decreasing your spl in the higher range up to 60Hz?
