    Ups Came Today

    lol, corey had a bit of a mental lapse when building the box one day. I'll let him explain, but keep in mind the guy doesn't do well w/ mdf & it's very dusty nature! lol please corey, do tell! haha
  2. Or the saz 1500D. I had my brothers L7 dual 2 running off my 1500D & it liked the power just fine. Check the Sundown B-Stock section, it'd be worth spending another $50 on that amp. If not you could go with a profile AP2000, not a crazy amp but also pushed my brother L7 well for the bit of time he had it good luck w/ your search.

    18 XXX

    Well, after some great advice from jacob, i'm going to pass on the pr's & just do the box sealed. I'll take pics of the build, should be within the next week or so. Whenever corey gives me my opti amp & fi sends the sub to me Thanks for all the help!

    18 XXX

    I've been trying to figure out what to do with my 18 XXX. I finally decided on a 4-5 cube sealed box, depending on how large an area I can fit in my trunk, but the 4-5 cubes are the definite range. I was going to go just sealed, but love low end & was wondering if I could do passive radiators w/ the xxx. Corey don't kill me for makin this post, just figured it'd help! By the way, if any of you end up not liking me one bit, blame Corey A., he's the one who told me to come here. Anyway, thanks for any help or any insight in this idea.

    18 XXX

    I feel so stupid for forgetting to post this, but the xxx 18 is an 02-03 motor w/ fi soft parts! HA! Wow, so yes, i am insanely dumb for forgetting to mention this! BTW I'll have about 3500 rms @ 4 ohms going to the sub, not sure how the pr's affect the sub in terms of power handling. Thanks again guys! -nate

    Like how clean the box looks, why not make an amp rack & flush mount the amps to finish it off, be a nice touch. Good system man.

    18 XXX

    BTW if I did get Pr's I'd get them from Fi, I was told they can make them. Does any one know how to calculate or could direct me in the direction of how to calculate how many pr's or what the pr's would need to handle. I have the vertical plane to mount the pr's, thinking a pair of 15" pr's could handle the 1 xxx 18.

    18 XXX

    I would use externals but I'm firing into the cabin & sealing off the trunk, so I don't have the room for external ports, plus I don't know if the 18 would like 4-5 cubes ported. I have 42" of width, which can be increased if I angle the baffles, so I can fit a pair of pr's i think. What would be the big advantage to this, I am just assuming low end, but after seeing JimJ say it's pointless, i just want to know why, that's all. Cuz if this is too much hassle/work for no real advantage, then I'll def. not waste my time. thanks for all the help so far guys!

    18 XXX

    I have read the passives need to double the cone area of the 18. It is also a matter of I want to do this. Sealed is fun & I'm not ignoring your advice at all, but wondering what the possibilities are with the pr's. I've never got to use them before & thought it might help w/ my box size also. Every time i measure my trunk it just seems to get smaller, lol. thanks for the quick reply jacob!

    problem with 100.2 help

    Have you tried just connecting the rca's to the 100.2 & disconnecting the other amps? Possibly could be having a signal problem w/ the rca's, since you are running 3 amps off of 1 signal.

    problem with 100.2 help

    What load did you have the amp wired to?

    bored, so here's some pics of the build in progress

    Wow, looks great, can't wait to see the trunk. How's it sound so far compared to your previous installs?

    Subs I bought are the wrong ohms..

    I agree on the big 3 & possibly a small battery in the back, if you've got that then you're fine. If you have everything stock, then spend some money & save yourself more hassle & money in the end. good luck.

    New cone design?

    I do like the inverted look myself, but don't see FI changing one line & leaving the others the same, wouldn't make sense, plus this brute look is my favorite for FI anyway.
