Oh that is a decent size, so your box should work fine. How much power you plan on running to it? if you put the 500rms that a kicker cvr takes it probably wont be a lot louder but Fi q are great sounding subs. If you got the 1500rms power it would be much louder. so depending on how much you wanna spend you could buy a new amp, if its not up to those standards. Either way the quality of bass will be worth the money.

Fi q will definitely be louder then a kicker cvr. But the box doesn't sound ideal, do you have at least a guess to the cubic space of this box? Im guessing its sealed.

Actually, no you don't. Best thing you can do is to NOT fill that space with more speakers. Adding them would be a net negative.Well then what do you propose?

wellll, Id be willing to do better front speakers if needed. but the problem is I have to fill that space either way with new speakers. Originally there wasn't a spot for 6x9s, I cut holes into the panels for them. Which if anyone who restored old broncos heard I cut holes in the nearly perfect unbuyable original panels they would have a heart attack. So haha umm, yeah I'd prefer upgrading them.

I know for me the cold weather -15 to 25 degrees greatly effects how much my truck rattles on the inside, stiffens the surrounds which in turn makes the subs produce less sound and voltage is worse + goes down faster. When its above 25 or so its fairly clear and loud but anything under that it sounds pretty bad. Plus if its under 0 degrees you for sure have to slowly turn up the bass in order to not crack your cones or even surrounds. So in conclusion bass in Alaska doesn't work so well in the winter :/

I like them! probably get one when I order stickers.

Hmm well I was pointing out popular brands and products to look at cause that's what he asked for but okkkk... Ill just leave haha, im sure you can help more then me anyway. But ill watch cause I'm interested what you guys recommend, because before I upgrade woofers agian I want to to my mids and highs cause mine sound good for what they are but clearly not the best.

For midbass some popular ones are the: Crescendo 6.5s,8s,10s Sundown 6.5s,8s,10s Eminence audio Eminators 6.5s,8s,10s Popular Super Tweeters for A pillars: Crescendo ft1s Selenium ST200,ST350,ST400 Regular tweets I would just go for some pioneer tweets if you like soft, or kenwood has a ceramic tweeter which sounds a bit brighter but super clear and fairly loud. Also there are components from crescendo and Sundown that are very nice if you want simplicity but still get the full range. Just my recommendations, from what I've heard and seen. Others probably have good or better advice.

That's ridiculous haha. cop was a douche for sure.

Ive seen lots of videos with the Fi SP4s 18s and they always have the craziest flex and air movement. Im really torn between trying something big this summer and getting a SSA Evil 18 or getting the Fi SP4 18. The SP4s are fairly cheap for what they are so that might be the deciding factor, but at the same time I really like everything about SSA as a whole.

Ive heard a lot of good things about the Fi Q, probably underrated a little bit, and its geared towards SQ. Icon seems well balanced from what Ive heard and seen, plus its sexy as hell. Good reason for the Xcon is that you could upgrade the amp later if you wanted. Guess it depends on what you want.

Thanks for not getting all pissed off at everyone like some people do :)/> Well I got respect for a lot of you, your systems and experience is amazing to me.

I agree with a lot of you guys with neighborhoods, not going to argue about that. This situation does open my eyes about a few things, Thanks for the replies!

Love it, that's one sexy woofer Thinking of getting one this summer to mess around with, Cant wait!

I was just reading an article about Florida noise ordinances, and this article is a little older but actually in DEC 2012 he won in the florida supreme court. So the ordinances are changing and the police departments are starting to not give tickets for such things according to the few things Ive looked at. http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/florida-noise-law-falls-victim-to-lawyers-crusade/1169129 EDIT: found the update http://www.ceoutlook.com/2012/12/14/car-audio-wins-in-florida-supreme-court/ Just what Ive read, idk if you are aware of this or not. But yeah if it is true, You guys are getting pretty lucky. :)/> oh and 500$ is wayyy excessive for something like this, sucks for texas. Also I agree that bass can be quite annoying if its constant but If I'm driving on a main road, you are going to hear it for what 30-40 seconds max? Thats my issue with it, I dont want to piss people off I just want to listen to some bass once in awhile.

I actually do turn it down whenever I come into my neighborhood, but I had literally just turned onto my street from the main road. I didnt get a chance. Also My neighbor complains if he hears ANY music, if you were to play a song on your phone speaker outside he would probably call the cops. Anyways there no where in my area where you can go to play your stereo by those recommendations, I would literally have to drive out of town onto the highway. well that's what the noise ordinance says, that's why I posted it above.

I bought a Kinetik HC1200 because my Diehard gold battery is getting a little old and only charges to about 3/4s original capacity. It got here last night and I figured Id test how it compared simply by dropping it in place of the Diehard. (I do realize Kinetik reccomends at least a HC1800 for replacing main starting battery) Didnt charge it till it was all connected, let it sit in there over night. At that time the lights when the door was opened were quite a bit brighter, good sign I thought. Although the starter seemed to turn over a little faster the dash lights and my seatbelt indicator buzzor almost went completely out. I played some bass on my way to work, and noticed the dash lights started dimming, and by 6-7 mins It was having a real hard time. At lunch I checked the voltage at the battery and it was 12.5, kinda frustrated me because thats a little lower then I thought it would sit. On my way back I brought a small voltage meter that you plug into the dash 12v plug, when the truck is started at first it likes to sit around 13.4-13.6 I waited drove around for a little bit till it got to 14.4, put on a song at a little lower volume than I normally would (40 instead of 45) within 20 seconds of the bass hitting the voltage flew down to 13.2 then 12.1 then I turned it off and it rose back up 14.4 fairly quick (within 30 sec) (note: I have my doubts that this little voltage meter is real accurate so consider them guesstimates ) The diehard even when at max volume doesnt drop even close to as fast as that when in place. From what I messed around with this battery its either really really sensitive to the cold and being a lone battery, or its just not a very good choice for the 150-200 dollar range. I could have bought 2 new diehard golds for that price. Anyways since I do have this battery Im still probably going to do what I planned and buy a battery isolater so I can run both the diehard and Kinetik. Also before you say its my electrical and alternator and such, I do know I need to do the big three and get a better alternator. But I figured Id buy the extra battery first since I had the extra cash on hand. Id like your guys opinion and advice on this. Thanks

I built a ported box for one of the DCONS and wow, almost as loud on most songs as sealed. Cant wait to build the other one! A couple bad things though is the bass sounds a little off, sounds a little weird sometimes but it might be my box. Also rattles have really become pronounced, definately need to get some sound deadener.

Well my initial build at the moment is relatively complete, but of course I have future plans. Therefore Ill just post some pictures and you can comment and ask questions about the build if you wish. Ill add more pictures when I get back home, next week. Im thinking of doing fiberglass doors with an 8" mid, 6.5" mid, and a supertweet. Then add two more dcons, maybe ported maybe sealed, not sure.. If that doesnt do it for me, Im thinking SSA Icon 18s.

Yes louder but right now Im going for more SQ and wider frequency range than SPL. Although the low end isnt exactly good. I might try building a ported box to see how it sounds, but I think I might just go big and do 4 Dcons ported. SSA has definately made me a fan so far.

Thanks! yes I built two boxes so I would have more options with placement and moving the subs around. Its great, im very happy with them, 45-50hz in there is there sweet spot and can be uncomfortable in my truck. Suprising for 300w subs. But as it goes I have a hunger for more haha.

sorry for the double post :/ internet is a bit slow today

Very high quality box, loving the setup.
