I think I am leaning towards the single BTL. Price is a factor too, I figure two 15" SSD's would cost a bit more on shipping, could be wrong. But getting stuff into Canada is always a pain in the arse.

Yea, I have no problem sticking to the specs. Another question, would the SSD's be able to hit lower notes better than the BTL and sustain the volume better, thereoretically. I know its all install that makes the difference.

I know it is pretty much a waste of time asking. I am not really sure myself what I am looking for by asking. I guess I am just trying to figure out what to buy (if I can talk the wifie into it). How much power can the SSD's take, with the flat wind coil and the BP power? If I run the BTL I can run the amp at .5ohm with about 4000w, running the SSD's I could run at 1ohm or .5ohm, but dont think the SSD's would like close to 2000w a piece, although thats if it was running at 100% effic. with no rise. But anyways, its just a daily listener. I dont compete at all, yet. And I listen to all styles of music. For refrence, had a 12" BL of a US amps md1d and loved it. Switched to the Crescendo amp and a Mach5 SPL, got louder and I like it alot too, but now just want something louder and I really like the Fi's.

Curious as to what would get louder. Figure the 2 SSD's would get louder but I have always wanted a BTL. I have tons of space in my man van to use, if I remember, roughly 40 ish cubes for a box. Subs would be powered off a Crescendo 3k. My current electrical system is a stock 90 amp alt, which will be replaced with a 270 amp alt. Have a kinetik HC1400 for the front and a HC2400 for the back, probably pick up another HC2400. So, roughly with that information, and lets say that the BTL and the SSD's are in boxes tuned to 32ish hz, in there ideal space how much louder would the 2 15"s be? Thanks, Luke.

Ok so it has been a while since I have last posted any updates at all. I have been super busy at work and during the christmas holidays have forgot to take some pics. So here is the box sitting in the trunk. I was going to carpet the box. But I have now changed my mind and have started building a new box. Slightly bigger but I am using 3/4 11 ply Baltic Birch. I am going to try and save some weight as I have to take the box out from time to time to put some baby strollers in the back. Here are some new pics of the box.

I could do that too, but what would be better run each off a seperate amp or run both off a single amp?

I currently have a 12" FI BL in my car with a US Amps MD1D. I am looking at maybe putting another one in and I have a few questions. How big should the box be? FI recomends 2.5 cu. for one so when you have 2 do you double that? I have a dual 2 ohm so I would get another dual 2. I have a Hifonics 1206D sittin around so should I use that or buy a amp that is .5ohm stable? Like a Lazar Opti2000D. Or a big amp that can give around 2000 watts at 2 ohm. Would I need a bigger alt. current one is 120amps and I have a Kinetic 1400 batt. in the front and am going to look into getting a smaller batt. for the trunk.

Unfortunatly I dont have any updates as of now, still sitting in its current state. I have been really busy with work and the wife and kids. Will post up more pics hopefully by the weekend with more updates. I am looking around for a local store that carries carpet, and checking around to see if someone around me carries those Jasper jigs for the routers or something like it.

Ordered a Kinetik 1400, biggest I can fit.

I am looking at getting a new deck soon, how is the Eclipse CD3200, how is that compared to an Alpine CDA-9886 or a Pioneer DEH-P700BT?

Went it to the shop last night for 2mins to do a little.

I am currently working on making a box for my 12" BL. Pictures look kinda crapy, used a cell phone. Just have pics of the L Port, the new sub and new amp that is going to be going into my 2001 Jetta. 12" BL US Amps MD1D My L Port with some routered edges Primed the L port and other pieces of the box And for the front of the box I am going to put some stained cherry veneer

I ordered 0 gauge for it. Now do I run the wire straight from the alt. to the battery? Or do I go from the alt. to the starter than to the battery because thats how it is now? I am also looking at getting a new battery, whats better a red top Otima or a yellow top?

So I am going to do the big 3 on my 2001 Jetta. I am going to be using 4awg. When you guys upgrade the alt. to the battery positive is it a straight run, from alt. to battery? I dont know much about cars but my cousin said the the wire goes from the alt. to the starter than to the battery, is it like this with all cars?

Picked up the BL at the post office yesturday. I am looking at getting a bigger better amp figuring out which amp to get. Hope fully if it stops snowing here and I can get into a warn garage I will start running some wires and then have to start making a box.
