nope made it myself, got the design from a friend who builds them a lot its better on mids to lows, but not 'high' bass notes well the box is probably tuned lower if its not picking up the highs. that could be your problem.

whats it tuned to? x2 and what is the measurement of the port? Is you sub a dual 2ohm wired like this: . oh and it is wired like that the port is a strange design and looks small (hard to explain) but sounds amazing with the right music so you dont know what its tuned to? does it play better on the lows or highs?

hahaha my bad. i need to take a ride to advance auto lol.

damn im gona have to take a ride to autozone

i heard it saturday at the bowling ally. its a beast.

alright so today we were drivin and all the sudden something under the passenger side started clicking. you could feel it on your feet. if felt like the tire had a knot in it or something. so we kept driving and we stopped a cvs for about 10 minutes. when we left cvs we turned right and then the right side started clanking and grinding. it was loud. so everytime we turned right it started doing this. when the brakes were hit it stopped making the noise. so we finally got home and let it sit for about an hour and then went to the gas station and now its doing it on both sides. i have no idea what it is. im thinking maybe the cv joints or ball joints? i dont really know though. i dont think that would make both sides mess up in less then 2 hours. i was on another forum and a guy said the same thing happened to him and he thought it was the cv joints but all he had to do was change the differential fluid. your suppose to change it about every 30,000 miles. since ive had my jimmy weve put about 40,000 on it and i dont know how long itd been since itd been change before i got it. so does anybody have any ideas?

well i found out it was the brake caliper. one bolt fell out and the other one was loose. so it was an 8 dollar fix.

That option is not listed... I've heard of it though, but I think it might be standard with the BL? I know you can order it for the Qs... just order it fully loaded if you plan on putting over 1000 watts.

any update on this?

lol well last year my buddy had a badass truck on 38.5s and he was muddin. then he told me to go through his ruts. lol yea rite. i got stuck rite away. i think your rite about the wheel bearing though. the more i think about it the more it makes sense. i think i was just hoping it was the ball joints.

whats it tuned to?

well the guy came and got it tonight. hes fixing it tomorrow. we drove it down the road a little and when we pulled back in the driveway a bunch of oil was leaking also. this is poop.

THANK YOU! lol That's the answer I was looking for. Alright, I would use that 6cu ft than. Would I be able to keep the port 32hz? or do I have to make some changes there 2? Or could I build say a 7cu ft, and than brace the whole inside to love the cu ft after displacement? this is what i said before. when the box is bigger the power handling goes down. nobody can tell you if its going to take 4600 or not. this is for you to find out. when you hook it all up and start playing it check for it to get hot and see if you can smell coil. if you can back the gains down. if you cant then it can handle it. ohhh yeah I see what you mean. Well what box size do you recommend for me with all this power? I am a daily driver. well fi recommends 5-10 cubes. id say go with about 6 cubes. give or take some. you'll have more chance of it taking 4600 with a smaller box. alright. thanks a lot bro. np man. sorry if i sounded like a dick at all. i wasnt tryin to.

Something like an ssd 10 in a small ported box or sealed.....???? wait first what kind of music do you like to lessen to? and if you go with a 600 watt amp your stock Electrical should be fine I thnk your car has a 130 amp alt in it, and if she isn't into loud music you could get a smaller amp 300-500 watts She is very diverse in her music collection. Rap to Rock to Country. I just want it to where if she decides to play loud, she will look at me and say "SWEEEEET" well you can get a nice 600 watt amp and if its to loud for her back the gains down. if you do this you get more headroom.

set your lpf between 60 and 80 hz. bass boost is not recommended to use.

oh damn lol i didnt even notice u were from indiana. my friends dad is coming over tonight to look at it. he let me borrow some of his stuff lastnite to check stuff out.

im gona try getin by right now if its the ball joints. im gona get the cheaper ones. theyre like 30 a piece at autozone. so you still dont know for sure what it is?? I wouldn't buy any parts until I was sure.... usually you check the wheel bearing by grabbing at 6 and 12 and trying to rock the wheel that way, not 3 and 9..... at 3 and 9 any play you feel could be the wheel bearing, but just as easy as it could be a bad tie rod, it won't tell you whether its the ball joint or not though....... this is the way to test these ball joints.... you should be sure or have an actual mechanic look at it before spending money on parts..... well the bad thing about taking it to an actual mechanic is theyd try taking advantage. i no people that can find out whats wrong with it and can fix it. they just havent had the time to come out yet. we had a guy that was suppose to do it but we didnt know him real well and he wanted us to drive it to him when he has a damn tow truck. theres no way we can drive it. i dont know how much longer it would last.

Yeah that is what my car audio adviser told me. I think I am going to lower the gains asap because I don't want to do anything stupid to my baby lol. I only have stock alt and batt right now, and I have had this setup for about 3 months now and I can start to see the effect it is having on my electrical system. My voltage meter doesnt go back up as fast as it use to after a low note, and my car starts to almost shut off at stop lights. But what you are saying is that, once I complete my upgrade on my electrical system, I will be able to apply 4600w daily to it? it just depends. the bigger the box is the lower the power handling is. put 4600 to it and see if it takes it. if not back off the gains. "if not"- is that after it blows? haha lol well hes definitely gona smell some coil if it wont handle it.

But the amps are rated 2300w rms @ 1 ohm? huh ohh, I think there is something I don't understand here huh? lol. So your saying strap them to 2 ohm to 1 of the coils? What will this do? And how much watts would I get out of this setup? when you strap them its gona be 2 ohms. each amp puts out 2300 at 1 ohm. so 1 ohm plus 1 ohm is 2 ohms strapped.

I will do. I was kind of comparing myself with that guy with the 01 tahoe with 4 18s lol. It wont let me type his name in. But he has over 5k on each of his now with his new build. And had over 4k to them before that. So I was thinking if he could put that much on them for that long, than I should be ok. Right? no one can really tell you how much YOURS can take. theres no set limit on what the sub can take. well besides rms but people put way more. you just need to check it out for yourself. Alright. I guess you do have a point there. lol I find it funny that Fi doesnt know there peak rating for there sub. Well thank you very much for all your info. If there is any additional things I should know please let me know lol. Thanks. no problem man. let us know what happens.
