    I had to use mat in the corners of my box, because the lumber store made my cuts to short and had to put a 3/4"x3/4"x 18.5" piece in each corner. So I matted the corners for strength, then I just poured a ton of fiberglass with hardener on the bottom of the box, spread it out then let it settle and almost dry, then tipped the box and did the same with each side on the inside. The baffle I did speratly then add more fiberglass where the baffle met the box once it was glued. I like said above, it probly wont make a difference to the ear, but on the meter is might. I just did it for strength

    I need these as well, I have a 2.5" drop in the rear. My picture shows my old accord, I have a scion XD now with 2 batterys in the back, 18" BTL and all the wood ready to be assembled into a box, plus im adding 2 more amps... for more door speakers

    Im using 4 4" aero ports. The box I will be mounting them to is 38"x20"x20" with an 18" sub on one side facing up. The 4 wont fit in a line since their flare is 7"+, so my question is, should I do sub in the middle with the ports on the side of the box facing back 4 in a row, or can I make a square with sub up port up, Will having 2 ports closer to the sub than the other affect anything? or will air movement be equal between the 4?

    I don't want some 150 watt 18" crappy PA speakers

    Exactly what I'd recommend. 150w on a true PA sub will do more than 1000w on a non-crappy boutique sub for his application. Choosing based on need is more important...

    He has gone through multiple speakers, from 100 watt to 1000 watts. From pyle to JBL. He is using JBLs now for everything but wants a 1000 watt+ sub set up because he wants the crowd to feel it. Its not my call on what he gets its his so im finding options for him. His jbls would distort when the bass drum hit so this is why he wants a separate speaker for bass. And I cant change his mind. Hes dead set on huge power

    So im building a box for 2 18" subs for a drummer of a band, it will only be used to reproduce the kick drum, and maybe the bass guitar. But what subs should I use? I don't want some 150 watt 18" crappy PA speakers, what subs can I use for this, he will probly be putting out 1000-1500 watts on the amp he will be using for the subs. Also should I tune the box higher or keep it at around 35hz. The band plays rock music, and im used to building box for cars that play rap. Thanks.

    I saw a guy with a old crx at a competition I went to a couple weeks ago, and he had 2 12" wardens powered off some big (I think it was an american bass amp or sound digital) amp. Ive never seen IA before and his 2 subs hit a 157.8 on the TL, I was impressed, he was the loudest guy there. But his entire car came on in on a trailor and was stripped; it was designed for whatever note he played so daily probably wouldnt sound good. IA seems like a good brand, thats my input. I wonder if he has a build anywhere

    Im about to buy 4 new subs, I have the DD M3a which says it puts out 2200 watts at 1 ohm. If I got 4 dcons, do you think they could handle this power? Or should I jump up to the 500-7000 watt speaker range? I heard the dcons are very efficent at 300 watts, I would be doubling their power. Im thinking I could do this if I turn my amp down so Im not giving them the full 2200 watts? Opinions?

    I take it as he heard his amp is capable of 5kw at .5 ohm, so assuming the .5 ohm output, at 1ohm would it push the same power as some of those amps he listed? Notice he didn't list 5kwrms amps, he listed 3k-3500 watt amps at 1ohm...

    He even stated in a later post that he heard the saz3500d pushed 4-5k at .5 ohm, which WOULD be a direct comparison to his original post stating the 5k he heard HIS amp put out at .5 ohm....

    so I would say he is trying to figure out how much power his amp could put out at .5 ohm with proper electrical and what other amps would it compare to?

    Either way, your still resorting to a rudimentary method for comparison.

    Pretty sure that's all he's asking for, is a basic comparison, like, what to expect? Is it worth doing? Why does it seem you are posting only to be negative and try to make yourself seem more intelligent, where you are actually doing just the opposite...still curious how you think comparing output of two amps on same load at assumingly same voltage is apples to oranges....

    I'm not trying to be negative, I just wanted to point out a flaw that unfortunately effects the very thing the OP is looking at.

    I never said comparing amplifier outputs with the same load is apples to oranges, I said comparing amplifiers with different loads.

    I did however say "either way", which would imply that even if the loads were the same, you are still using a flawed method for comparison.

    Logically one could think that you could max out each amplifier with the same load, with the same equal clipping, and measure the output. Then it would be a fair comparison?

    Perhaps this could work, I don't know.

    ----------------------------------------------

    Sorry OP for cluttering your thread with my pompous thoughts.

    Well hell, Ill just assume with a solid electrical at 1ohm, im putting out 3000 watts. Problem solved.

    , but they post in their description something like "This amp is known to put out over 3000watts".

    There simply isn't enough information from that for you to make that assumption. At what voltage is the M3a putting out over 3000 watts? I could see that on a 16v electrical system. Which would make it comparable with the SAZ-2500 again.

    So Id say its in the same range as a 3500d.

    Besides, if you knew the answer to your question then why ask it?

    I came to that decision after reading the posts people put

    Thanks mjmarovi, that helped alot, I couldnt find that video on youtube, im glad you posted it, so it looks like it puts out about 5k on .5. Ill be running 1 ohm with a solid electrical. Also I hate that apples to oranges crap, oranges are healthier for you so the orange would win. Also the site says 2200 watts, but they post in their description something like "This amp is known to put out over 3000watts". So Id say its in the same range as a 3500d.
