I really like lows and good sound....im looking for 2 good 18s to be powered by a taramps 8k...my temp box is tuned to 34-35 about 11 cubes. Im between the hdc4s, sp4s, fi team, dss ethos...

Anyone have a cut sheet, layout, anything? Daily driver/demo. Musical setup.

Going in a 99 Yukon Denali...more of a musical setup. Ive only built one box prior to this one and wanna do this one right....any input would be appreciated! Max dimensions are 48" from back seat to back doors and 48" wide between wheel wells Window level is 20" Backseats are 22" I was shooting for something thats not too crazy high above my window line but I'm open for any and all enclosure designs here.

Do i need to pay attention to the fact they are 0.7 and 1.4 coils or can I rely on them being dual 1 or dual 2 when hooked up to an amp? box rise i dont think about as im not competing or burping just a daily setup...

i was just reading a comment on youtube from fi saying once the subs are hooked up they will not go below 1 ohm so i might can get away with this without worrying 7ohms is well within industry standard unless you have a junk amplifier. D2 in parallel is still 1ohm. You need a 1ohm amplifier..it will work fine. Unless it is a Crossfire amp..those things do not like anything under 1ohm DCR. There is a HUGE difference between DCR and Impedance. Once you put a single watt onto the coil it will NEVER be below 1ohm.

im running a brazilan amp as many will hate on but its my choice so i had to make sure my amp doesnt see below 1 ohm...thanks for your input

Looking into getting 2 sp4 18s or 2 team 18s....whats the wait time if i ordered either one?

sp4s or teams for daily lows? im more into musical setup (35hz+) but i like lows also id rather go big and get the teams

i know im sticking with the taramps 8k just wanna make my subs happy too i figured the teams would do well with it

if it was between the sp4 and team id wanna just go fi team and do it right only if they like low end as much as sp4s would

im seeing that i dont mind waiting for a good product hoping they will have some kind of sale going on

i ended up getting a deal on 2 fi sp4 18s....still gonna run the taramps 8k tho :-)

Im gonna run 2 d1 Dss Ethos on one of these @ 1ohm. How many batteries am I looking at needing for it? Im replacing my alt with a 240a. I currently only have a 55ah agm under my hood. Buddy of mine told me to run 4-5 group 31s for it and a 240a alt. Whats the minumum amount of batteries to make it happy?

i gotcha thanks guys for the quick respsonses

Picking up 2 d2 sp4 18s to put on my taramps 8000...with these having odd coils how much are we talkin the amp will put out on these things?

Arent they like 1.4?

im looking at the taramps 5000 6500 & 8000...my thing is how many batteries would i need per amp and would i need a high output alt? i mean ill be demoing locally and just bumping back and forth to work and around town when im out

This will be my temp. box as im getting one designd as we speak. Its tuned to 34 or 35hz.

decided im gonna run a taramps 5k with dual inputs on the ethos and 2 runs pos and neg and 3 g 31s in the rear

im also looking into the taramps hd 5k as i wouldnt need as many batteries

i was thinking about doing 3 runs of ofc but now im thinking about more im not sure if i need more what do you guys think? btw my ride is a 99 Yukon Denali with stock 140a alt if that helps.

daily driving, very few demos. im gonna put triple inputs in it and do all 1/0 ofc wire
