    With that power requirement and budget, it is going to be very difficult to find anything of quality brand new.  Can you expand your budget a little?

    no, already wayyy over budget, and then this happened.  I don't have to go with an 18", maybe a good 15", or 2x 12's.  I saw the 3200W Skar is $400 new... or I have to recone my 18, not sure who does it though... Treo wanted $500 for a recone which is ridiculous.

    Need new sub, blew my 18" treo ssx.  Anyone do recones for a decent price?

     

    Anyone selling an 18 that does 2500-3k? Budget is $300-400

    Im open to other options as well.  Im workin with about 4cu ft net ported, 5 sealed.  Figured the 18 is the best way to go, but if 2x 15's sealed would fit, cool.

    Hello everyone, I am designing my own box and was hoping someone could review it.  Goal was no smaller than 4 cu ft.  Its an 18" Treo SSX rebuilt by PSI.  Treo recommended 50cu in. of port, BUT i told them I was using aero ports and they still recommended the same..? I was always under the impression they didnt need as much port?  This design is 1x 8" port = 50 cu in.   I can't figure out another configuration to hit 40 cu in, if 50 is to much.  Tuned to about 35hz.  (see attached)

     

    Any help is appreciated

    Need a little help with box design. I tried out about 6-7 of them now and they all give me different numbers. I want to do a 6" Aero port (unless recommended otherwise). Any sites you guys know of where it takes displacement for the sub and port into consideration while calculating? I tried BCAE1.com,
     
    Internal dimensions are 12.5x28.5x21.9 = 7801/1728= 4.5cu. ft. Their site is saying Gross volume = 4.2, which is already wrong, then -.32 for sub displacement and also need to subtract port displacement....?? RE's site doesnt allow aero port calculations.

     I’m running the SSA icons.  I’m an SSA snob so I would go for the Gcon’s although there are probably a little over your price budget.  Otherwise the demons are pretty sweet  if you’re not dead set on 2k.Just ordered a pair myself yesterday!  Otherwise go check out the subs in as a SSA store as there are a few that meet your criteria.

     As far as battery I just run an AGM from O’Reillys auto parts. I ran XS  and Optima  batteries in the past.  Nothing really special about a high dollar one if you can get away with the one at the part store. ;)

    Those Icons are rated for around 1500rms each arent they?

    I’m running 2k to a pair of 15”s on a stock 130 amp alternator with 2 AGM battery’s. Plus two other amps for mids and highs. Stock alternator handles it fine and did well with just one battery. You should be golden with 2k as long as you get a stout battery.

    If you like to listen at full tilt for long periods you may need to upgrade or add a second battery. But I would suggest just starting with a good AGM under the hood and going from there.

    What kind of 15's are you running? I've never dealt with the 750-1000rms range for subs, not sure what I can get for around $150 each that is decent.    

     

    I'll only have 1 battery, last I heard the Dekka Intimidators were the way to go.  I wont run an interior amp, my sound stage is pretty solid with the stock, which leads me to the next question, i'll have to run off the stock head unit which means i'll need a converter to get the sub amp a signal, should that be "ok"?

    Hey guys,

    I was originally going to run my Treo Engineering SSX 18", but decided I don't want to go through upgrading the alternator.

    Where is the most you recommend running off the stock ALT with an upgraded battery? Can I get away with 2KW?

    I'm looking to run 2x15's now, something around 750RMS. I'm not to familiar with this power range, what do you guys recommend? Something around $150 each preferably

    Needs to fit in a 2010 Maxima

    Audi Legion, Banda, Orion, Synergy, VFL, Wolfram... Only one of these i've heard of is Orion, and at the end of my last CA run, Orion was starting to get cheaper and more mainstream.  Any brand I should stay away from?  There wasn't much in the shop..

     

    and OMG I can't believe Brahma is back.. .They exited shortly after I started a decade ago

    Welcome. 

    Best thing I can suggest would be to browse the SSA store.

    What are people running these days? Are the same brands I mentioned still the most common?

     

    I will browse the store, but I just don't want to waste time looking at crap.

    Hello everyone,

    Its been several years since I was in the car audio scene.  I am interested in getting my sub up an running again in a cost effective way.

     

    Last I was involved, team PSI was doing a lot of customizing subs, many many people were running Sundowns, and Audioque, DD, and FI.  

    I had an 18" Treo Engineering SSX which was rebuilt be PSI as a dual flatwound alum VC.  I was running an Autotek MM3000.1 at .5 ohms tuned to 33Hz.  Daily I was doing about 148+ db.  I saved this sub for the last 5-6 years because I loved it so much and swore to myself I would use it again some day.  Team DOA was killin it in the Chicagoland competitions, especially Mike and his Barney van!

     

    What are the common subs/ brands that people are running today? Any amp I can look for- for around $500 to power this thing (used of course).

    Thanks

    nice vid! Sounds prety clean from what I can tell. honestly to me it seems as if the bracing behind the rear seats and or the rear deck is blocking alot of energy from coming into the cabin. I dont remember, but do you have a battery next to your amp? when I installed a batt next to mine, it seemed to give me some extra output.

    see you have 112^2" of port... i dont think i have even close to that much... again, 3 4" aero's 14" long... and you have the same sized box....

    what kinda of car do you have? do you have vids? what amp?
