been sick of my doors looking like ass

using that size port you said the best you could do is 30" long which would be tuned at 40hz (to high imo) 20in port per ft (way too much) and net would be 1.35 before sub displacement

that port size isnt going to work you could do 9.5" tall 2" wide 27" length (it will have to be an L port) that would bring you down to 1.66 net volume tuned to 32hz 11.45 port per ft you also need to account for sub and bracing displacement.

you wont have much of a gain going to a 3500 from 2200 if you ran 2 2200 strapped at 1ohm .5 each you would have a much greater gain. but of course would need more electrical. and is your front battery stock? if so replacing that could make a bigger difference than another 3100

thx i might put my build log up eventually its 2 btls on 2 bc 3500s im starting my new doors planning on doing 8 6.5s and 3-4 tweeters in each door

dont run kinetik horrible batteries. are you in florida? you can get used batts for super cheap.

thanks guys heres a lil pic of my current setup

if you have distortion to the point you can hear it you are already severley clipping. saying oscopes are un neccesarry is kind of ubsurd. this might be ok practice in lower power setups but when you are running alot of power specifically when running over rms to a sub a scope will be a great tool. also how will you know what level your headunit starts sending a clipped signal at? a oscope or dd1 can help you find the source of clipping.

id set your lfp around 80 also and a ported box will give you much more output. you know you could wire down to 1ohm and keep the gain down a little bit right?

when using an eq you should use it for attentuating frequencies dont go above 0. and dont use any bass boost on the h.u or amp. when im tuning my door speaker i turn my gain up till i hear distortion in my mids/highs then back down a little and eq from there than turn gainback up if neccessary. and the clipping light on your bass knob is usually slightly premature.

thats a nice car, what would you have to do to actually hook that phone up? lol

new to ssa not car audio some of you may have seen me on other forums, youtube, or shows in fl. whats up
