    Just curious, what's the budget for the 4 12''s?

    Right around $600

    If you were to stick with the SSDs but go to 12s, in the box you described, it would still kill the lows no problem.

    This is true, and I did not think about this. I'll definitely be on the lookout for some SSD's too.

    I think the capacitor is sucking the voltage when it is recharging because the capacitor is so large, which is causing the voltage to dip some. Make sure the engine ground goes to the (-) of the battery, as well as the frame. When you do the big three, make you you add the additional wires along with the stock ones, do not remove anything. If you removed any stock wires, I would recommend replacing them. Try doing this and then running the system without the cap. For a voltmeter, I would recommend attaching the leads to the wires right as the enter the amp, therefore you are seeing the voltage the amp is receiving.

    4 Skar 12s?

    They dig lower than the SAs IMO

    I did think about this. It depends on what presents itself first.

    Another option : get (2) 15" BTLs and a second amp like yours ! you would love that setup !

    Be sure to build a serious box for the subs, with enough bracings. It need to be strong with several woofers.

    I wish I could, trust me, but it would be a little over the budget for now.

    I currently have two Fi SSD 15's being powered by an Audioque 2200d. The output and accuracy of these speakers is amazing, but I feel it is time for a new system to toy with, so they will be going up for sale soon. Also, the box that they are in is slightly too large for my vehicle, so the configuration had to be sub up, port up. I am looking to do four 12's in about 6 ft^3 with a sub up, port back configuration. The only concern I have is losing the low notes. I absolutely love them and play a lot of slowed or chopped and screwed music. The 15's are tuned to 30hz and that is probably where the 12's will be tuned to. I am looking into four sa-12's, but am still keeping my options open. What subs/configuration/etc. would you recommend from experience?

    The vehicle is a 1993 Range Rover LWB with a 220amp alternator, 1/0 big three, and the second battery will be put in when I get home. It's a 35ah Shuriken. My voltage doesn't drop below 13 volts as it is, so electrical should be okay.

    As far as goals, this system will just be a daily beater. Looking for something musical that can tap into the lower not spectrum, and also doing this box with aeroports just for fun.

    1) You should have a fuse on the positive lead coming from the front battery to the rear or second battery and also a fuse before your amp.

    2) Yes you can, but this adapter will probably have to be custom made. You can get a thin piece of metal, bend it and drill it to fit on your post, then tap it so you can screw the ring terminals onto it. I saw something similar on a build log somewhere on this website. If I have to do it when I install my battery in May, I'll do a log of it for you!

    3) Yes, you should do front battery (+) to rear battery (+) and front battery (-) to rear battery (-).

    Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Well, since this thread seems to have run away from the topic, at least to me, I will add my $.02. I don't really care what graphs looks like, what people say, any of that. I judge a speaker by my ear. If I like how it sounds, I'll buy it. If I don't like how it sounds, I won't buy it.
