    I don't believe the sa12s or skars are up to par with ssa icons as far as SQ goes.

    This. Although I don't know about the SA's but the Skars sounded like butt to me, no where near what my ICON sounds like.

    the skars where probably in a bad box. i have 2 skars and they sound pretty good to me and everyone else that heres them. there not a sq sub but they sound good in a good box.

    Some songs what songs? Think your port is rattling or something internaly in the box is having problems!!

    box was built pretty strong with bracing and i used alot of glue and screws, i could punch that thing as hard as i could and it would not move or rattle. port is not rattling and the subs barley move because of the power they are seeing so even if the port was weak theres not much air is blowing out of it to make it move

    Might be driving the amp into clipping, considering the drivers are rated for 600watts and your using 150, perhaps you kept turning the gain up to get some more excursion and output, and it's clipping like crazy.

    I would pull the drivers out of the enclosure, and play each driver by it's self in free air and looking for anything loose / any noise. (Remember their power handling will drop tons when there in free air, so don't have the volume turned up a ton.

    Sealed box? Ported? Do any of the enclosure panels flex a lot, any gaps in between panels, air leaks?

    ported box, no air leaks and no panel flex. gain is about half way up on the amp and on head unit i have bass boost off and EQ at 0. i posted this on another forum and alot of people where saying it might be my ground

    i have 2 skar 12's and a alpine m500 wired to 4ohms(changing amp soon) and it sounds like theres a sound coming from the sub that is not supposed to. it sounds like a high pitched rattle noise and im almost sure its not my car rattling because it will make that sound when the music is not very loud and the subs are only getting 150 watts each. i will make a vid tomorrow but does anyone think they know what this sound is? if you need any more info let me know

    well i thought i would start a build log since im about to start my first set up that should get kinda loud. i have a 1997 honda accord v6 that already has a kenwood kdc-mp242 and some alpine sps-600 speakers in the front doors running off the HU power. i will be running my subs off my alpine mrp-m500 for right now til i sell it and buy a new amp in late february.

    equipment going in my car:

    2 skar vvx-12

    1 aq1200

    1 set of 6.5's (undecided) and putting the alpines in the back

    1 2 channel amp (undecided)

    heres some pics of the subs if you have not seen them yet
