i guess you are misreading me. i am not unhappy with the output of the SSD 10' . i am not bass hungry, and i actually enjoy my highs more than anything. i have a bed in the back of my 4 door truck instead of rear seats. this is my only option for an enclosure. i dont see why you see me as being limited and unhappy???????????? i already stated the changes i would make as far as electrical and enclosure space being reduced. what would you do? go with a diffrent sub all together? i have made it clear that i am open for other reccomendations and money is not an issue. but i am here to find out what is the best for me.

i know that my previous air space is was caused my initial failure but i have since reduced the internal volume to .4 need this be corrected? Rms: 1000W Sealed box: H-Qts .2-.4 cuft Ported box: .6-1.2 cuft @ 33Hz i just want to make sure we are on the same page. after all, my purpouse here is to edjucate myself and learn from my mistakes.

please tell me where i am wrong, but a sealed enclosure with the correct air space ... where is the problem? i just dont want to change the mounting diameter hole.

its the same as i have now.... thats why i am making sure it is still my best choice.

here is where im at right now.... i need to get the ball rolling on a build! SSD10 Ohm: Dual ​1 Ohm Flatw​indCo​il: Yes+2​0 Cooli​ng: Yes+3​0 QTS: H-Qts​ Seal​ed Inter​nal L​ead: No Dust ​Cap: Carbo​n Fib​er +$​25 Logo ​Color​: Silve​r Change Estimated build time of 10-15 business days

yes sir. there a million topics and none are the same. but the good points i see are "you have 2 grand +/- in electronics... why skimp on less than 100 $ in wire?"

ive been doing a lot of reading that says OFC isnt as big of a deal as people make it out to be... especially in situations 1200rms or less.

interior. i did all the electrial/gauges and head unit mounting myself. these trucks do not come with a normal double din in the dash. i cut the factory piece, reshaped it and painted it to match... now for some more bad news.... yall are so right on the ALT wire!!!! barf. my finger is on the positive wire going to the sub amp you can see here the alt wire is black coming from the alt then it necks down to an even smaller green wire before the battery! give it to me strait fellas! order a 1/0 OFC big 3 kit and be done with it???? i like the XS kit but ill take yalls opinoins fo sho! -Marcus

eye candy for s5..... Borg warner s467.7 with a ,9 ar housing. i built the motor. hamilton cam, studs, 50% over exergy injectors EFI live programming and too much more to list. back to "bidness" thelittle sealed enclosure i made years ago for my W7 amps my wiring is definitley not what i thought it was. yikes. 4ga. ground and the welding cable says 600v #2 wire from the battery. and its 8 ga. going to the SUB

do i need to stick with the another SSD? any other options that hase the same mounting diameter as the FI subs? i am open for options my options are kind of limited as my mounting hole diamater is 9.25. i really dont want to change my box at this time but it looks like i will have to make an enclosre change in the future to get where i want to be! i will take to heart what i have learned here.. no more boost and a lower HPF along with my wiring upgrades.

im fine with that. and yes in my eyes my truck is my wife and or first born. i just dynoed 803@ 1576 tq . not too bad for my daily driver. im done with the motor and am eager to focus on getting my tunes back on order.

im just going to order a new Q10 right now. i dont mind buying a new one because they are still half the price of a W7 and i am learning i am to blame for this damage ive done. i dont mind starting over. my enclosure is sealed and it is the one thing that cannot change. i have built it as a center console between my front seats. out of sight out of mind for the thieves.. my batteries are brand new 980cca AC delco but i dont know the AH rating off hand. how important is it that my cabling is Oxygen free? even tho my 1/0 has the gerth im sure its not OFC. i will upgrade my alt charge wire asap and re work my grounds. as well. but if i need to just buy a big 3 kit and be dont with it that fine too. money is not an object when it comes to my truck. i am very particular.

that is incorrect, passenger diesel trucks come from the factory with both batteries wired in parallel. they act as one to hold amperage to compensate for this high compression that diesels require. i didnt know that my LPF should be set that low. i will do that from now on! and i was always taught to send the most true, un cut signal to the amp then let the amp do the filtering. not saying who is right or wrong its just how i was taught. If my sub amp will do the job i will be happy to leave it be. also when i tune i always kill the gain on the bass knob and tune highs alone then bring on the bass after the fact. thanks for all the suggestions. my power and ground wire is no more than welding lead with lugs on the batteries and a chassis ground right to the frame. i will do some searching right now to see if i am sufficient or not in that department. My alternator is a 240 and i never play the radio with the truck off. should i invest in a 1 farad cap?

thank you for that bit of information sir. that is another thing that i have never been told. im glad i joined up here. imagine what ill know tomorrow!

yes i did that on the initial install. what do you mean no changing now? define electrical upgrades... i have several.. its a diesel so its a factory high output alt. dual batteries and i run 1au. welding cable for power/ ground. no capacitor. i hate to admit it but the JL amp i am running is their bottom line. i wish i never got rid of my slash series as i previously stated. all it has is a bass boost, LPF and input sens. i set the input according to the volt meter and i keep my LPF below 125 and the boost is at 6 out of 12. im looking for an excuse to swap out my sub amp if it will be worth my while. my source unit runs a near flat EQ, (Slight SLA increase) and a raw signal sent via RCA's. not that i matters but i switched from focal to JL C5 components up front on a 400/4 JL amp ill post up some pics. anything i should be concerned with thus far?
