  1. DjBedtime was right LuniTunes, i do have an Optima for sale. Just put it up in the early am today. Here's the link - Optima D31T 1) "Will a Red Top up front be ok mixed with a Yellow Top in back?" Yes, you won't experience any problems. 2) "What specific models of batts from the different manufactures should I buy?" The bigger the better! You can't have too much Battery!" 3) "Which manufacture should I you choose?" The cheapest. Optima, Odyssey, Kinetik, and Powermaster = The Same chit! If you are paying more to one company and getting less for your money you need to take your head out your ass. None of these batts is worth anymore than the other. It's just hype... Real World Experience... I just bought two motorcycles from a guy that weren't in running condition. He used to race these things over 10 years ago and they have been sitting in storage doing nothing ever since. One had a lead acid type battery installed in it and had absolutely no acid left inside. It had evaporated over the past ten years it was sitting. I hooked up my meter and the battery showed it had 5 volts in it. Any battery manufacturer pretty much states that if a battery gets below 10 volts it needs to be replaced cause it has gone bad or suffered permanent damage. Anyhow, since it was no trouble for me, i filled it up with acid that i already owned here at the house and threw it on the charger. It now has a resting voltage of 12.8 which is great for this type of battery. It's now install in the bike and working perfectly. I saved myself about $50 by not buying a new one. And by not believing the hype... Good Luck, Bob!

    Looking for my Q

    Sry to hear your sub is MIA. I'm sure someone will get it straightened out for you soon. In the meantime, did you get the dual 2 ohm voice coils and the BP power option? If so check this out - Kicker Kx1200.1 Amp for sale I ran my 15" Q off of it and it was a perfect match!

    Amps for the 15" Q

    This is what i used for my 15" Q with BP power option and it worked flawlessly - Kicker Kx1200.1 Amp Anymore power would have been too much. And with any less, i wouldn't have been getting all i could out of my sub. That link is to my auction and the amp works perfectly. You can see buy my feedback that i don't sell junk. Goodluck Ana!

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Hey guys, I got myself into a spot and need cash fast. By this Sunday to be exact. Just yesterday i left a guy a deposit on 2 motorcycles with titles and enough spare parts to build a third if i wanted. The only problem is i'm about $800 shy of what i need to pay him off and the only way i'm going to be able to get it is sell off some of my car audio gear. Which brings me to the point. I'm only a member of this forum. It's the best right? But since i'm only a member of this forum i can't get the word out to others that may be interested in the equipment on the other forums and i'm hoping one of you could do that for me. Here are the links to the items i put up on eBay so far... Kicker Kx1200.1 Amp Fi Audio 15" Q with BP power option and dual 2 ohm voice coils Whatever you can do for me i'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Bob!

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Need to edit a post and for the life of me i can't figure out how. I want to change a link to my eBay auction cause eBay deleted it for use violations. I wrote "Not JL or Rockford Fosgate" in the title for my Kicker amp and they didn't care for it... Any help guys???

    97 Accord Trunk 15"Q ported ideas

    I run a 15" Q with BP off of the same amp and it takes the power fine - Box is 4.0 cu ft @28hz If you want to limit the power coming from that amp to the sub you'll do that by turning the gain down.

    Q vs. anything

    The ZX1500.1 is probably a bit too much for the Q even with the BP option. I'd say it's more of a BL amp. It's not that you can't use it on one, just make sure you don't set the gain for max power other wise you'll be adding a recone kit to your list of things to buy. I say that because i own a 15" Q with BP option right now that i'm running off of a Kicker KX1200.1 and it's happy. So happy in fact that i wouldn't put anymore power to it than i have now. I like playing it loud and long and have no doubt i'd have fried the thing if i was sending it a few hundred more watts...

    what options should i get

    You'll want to order a dual 1 ohm voice coil sub and wire it in series to get a final load of 2 ohms. Your installer can do that for you. ^-- Sub wired in series

    Best sub for small sealed enclosures

    I've never heard Planet Audio subs before so i can't comment on which of the three subs you're comparing would be the loudest. I have however owned both the JL and Kicker models you're looking at getting for a replacement and if i was in the market again for similar models i would buy the Kickers without a second thought. There simply isn't that much difference between the two to justify spending twice as much on the JL's...

    I think I'll do that John. I was just wondering if someone was familiar with a way to disable it... Thanks!

    Need Help

    A friend owns a 2006 VW Jetta. It has the factory 6 disc changer head unit that raises/lowers the volume automatically. But, it's messed up. And does it whenever it feels like. It has become real annoying. Is it possible to disable that feature and if so, how?
