The sa-12 is a better built sub. As well they can probably handle 750w better than the mtx.

I'm ordering sub and battery tuesday/wednesday. I'll start building the box when the sub gets here. Still debating the two. probably go RE. Soon as I start I'll post pics up. I just dont know if itd be better ported or sealed with it in the open.

So I'm competing in MECA this year (been going to the comps the last year but never had my subs in when i went) and I'm building my daughter a power wheels for MECA Kids. shes in the 5 and under class so I can only run a single 8 and no bigger than a 20a fuse to the amp. So I picked up a cheap h/u and a pair of 4x6 were given to me. I'm getting a memphis 50.2 to run the sub, just because I know the punishment my friends and I have put these amps through. So my 2 questions are this. 1, What battery would you use with limited space to keep it playing. I found Kinetik HC600 for 60 bucks new online and figured it was a pretty good candidate since it fit in the limited room I have. 2, What is a good CHEAP 8? I only have 4.5in mounting depth and don't really wanna spend over 50 bucks on a sub. I found a Lanzar Max8 new for 27 bucks. They look pretty beefy for a cheap little sub. Any input would be great!

And another question. Sealed or ported? I have optimal room for the lanzar and re for ported, but it just seems the sub would unload to easy with it outside...

Weight and space saving.

Its just a burp at full tilt. It'll play for a few minutes here and there. Also like I said ill have a trickle charger on it until it burps.

Its practically placed 6in infront of the sub. Next to the steering wheel. I saw the re 8. It was a toss up between that and the lanzar. Lanzar is cheaper but the re is probably a better sub. It only has to play for about 20minthe but ill have a trickle charger on it between playing it.

Any suggestions?

I was checking out the parameters for the icon and the aa havoc. They're pretty close spec wise. So would using the the pre made box plans work for the havoc? From my calculations its 30-32hz tuning.

I drive an Olds Bravada (basically a blazer) and I drive it daily, but its a weekend warrior for spl. I have an AA Havoc 15, I'm building the box to the SSA Icon enclosure specs, and running it off a MB Quart Discus 1500. Which would sound better/get louder, facing the sub and port up, or sub and port back? If I face the sub up I can actually use some of my cargo area.. but that isn't a big necessity. It is a four door if that matters.

No doubt in my mind its possible. but its a hard goal to achieve.

the kicker would be a lot easier on your electrical than anything you need to power a zcon.

1.9 cubes per sub???? kinda small...

alright. thank you again sir.

Alright thanks! That makes my life a lot easier on this build. You don't happen to know exact tuning on it by chance?

Anyone know pricing on a d2 aa havoc 15 recone?

As of right now I have 2 dd1508s on a MB quart discus 1.5k. I'm looking to get rid of my 8s and upgrade to a single 15. Power output of my amp I'd 4ohm=375 2ohm=750 and 1ohm=1500. I have plenty of space to work with (olds bravada(blazer)). 2 agm deep cycles, and a 200a alt. Depending whether I sell them or trade them I was seeing what people would recommend on my power supply that is reasonable. Like I said I might not buy new if I can get a decent trade for them. Any ideas? (I know daily or spl will be asked and it needs to be all around. This is a daily driver but I do meca on weekends.)

Trying to stay under 300. That's why I was also looking trades or good used stuff.

As to why, I'm trying to keep this more budget friendly than past builds because I'm engaged now and we just got our first place together. As for powering the btl, I didn't feel it was getting all the power it needed. I heard a btl in a friends blazer on an aq2200, almost identicle boxes, and he had way more output. So now I'm trying to find a sub that I will hit almost perfect power range on with my amp, or slightly over power on a reasonable budget. As for ab and DC I get pretty good deals because Im buddy's with a rep for both companies.

I forgot xfl or tnt through ab!

I've had Memphis, incriminator, DC, DD, and a FI BTL 18. THE BTL got hooked up once. Didn't have enough power and didn't wanna go bigger so I could stay in a lower class for meca. So I'm really trying to find something that is a little lower end that I can over power like an icon or new lvl3 DC.

OK, if I planned around 3-3.5 cubes, and I wanted the lows for my daily, but to peak good for spl what should I tune the box too? Or would it be easier to have a removable port?

I've seen quite a few cars run higher voltage when charging and sit around 12.4 when on battery alone. As ling as its not hitting any higher you might lose a little battery life but it won't do any real damage. Now if it spikes you can fry your ecu. So just keep a close eye on it, and if it doesn't start to drop have the regulator tested.

I have 2 dd1508s... I like your sa-15...

will do. i built a box. its a bit bigger than recomended but once i got it all together it turned out about half a cube to big so after port and displacement its about 4.2 cubes. but i think itll be fine.
