I recently bought a 2010 GMC Sierra Crew Cab My situation: Ive already installed an Alpine IVE-535HD DVD receiver, 2 sets of Kicker RS Components, a Kicker IX500.4 amp. I have a Sundown 1200 mono amp that has been installed also and will be building an enclosure and buying subs next weekend. My issue is I am torn on what config to go with... Option 1 - (2) Sundown SA-8's in a 1.5cf, front firing, side ported enclosure under the seat tuned to 30-32hz. Option 2 - (4) Infinity Reference 860w 8's in a front firing, front ported enclosure under the seat tuned to 32hz My main objective is to grab the lows into the mid 20's with authority. Has anyone had experience in a similar vehicle with either two setups? Thanks in advance for any help/recommendations!

New JBL W12GTi MKII waiting for a home. Need to do sealed as space is limited but plenty to work with for a proper enclosure. Looking for it to attack the lows and have a flat(ish) response. Not a ground pounder, rather a SQ build for this old man.

So I pulled the trigger on a JBL W12GTi MkII. I changed the amps up from to Kicker ix1000.5 to the ix500.4 and ZX1000.1. I will be building the enclosure either this weekend or next. Going to stay sealed and looking for a good mix of a flat(ish) response and I really want it to attack the lows. JBL reccomended a 1cf sealed box but I have read that this solution is a bit peaky and does not handle the lows well. Has anyone had experience with these subs and may shine some light into an enclosure reccomendation?

Yeah I was debating an IB setup. I havent had the opportunity to work with a setup like that much. What are the pros and cons? Is there any other options as far as sub(s) I should look at? Budget is $350 and working with 500-600 rms

P.S. I listen to hip hop, R&B, Dubstep and rock. My passion is for the lows though so I need something to dig deep. I LOVED the Q, just needing to downsize

Hey fellas! So I got a new ride and designing a SQ(L) setup as I need to make room for a baby and I have limited space. Here are the details: 2011 Chevy Malibu LTZ Source - Alpine IVE-W535HD Fronts - Kicker QS65.2 components Rears - Kicker KS693 Amp - Kicker IX1000.5 (5 channel. 65x4 & 500.1) Sub(s) - TBD! I need help choosing a sub! I have 500-600 watts rms to work with and going to be doing a sealed enclosure no larger than 1.5cf. Here is what I've narrowed to down to, any and all advice appreciated! I can have them all for between $240-350 each: JL 12W7v3 ID IDQ12v3 ARC Black 12 JBL GTI MkII Boston G512.4 SSA GCON I am looking for the most output I can acheive from a single 12" sealed setup on 500-600w. I am coming from a 15" Fi Q in a huge box on 1200w and just dont need that much anymore, Thanks guys!

Well guys he is just too bought into his 6x9's... I tried, even pounded it into his head. Oh well, I will be setting it up with a focus on the front stage and possibly not even amping the rear, just run off of the supplied power of the Alpine. We chose RF T1652-S components (fabric dome tweets) and T1 6x9's (for $90). We opted for the Diamond Hex750.1 and a 12" GCON which was ordered Thurs night. I will be building a box this next weekend and awaiting the subs arrival. Does anyone have a GCON and have any input on internal volume and tuning frequency that works for your particular setup? I am thinking 2.75cf @30-31hz. He is replacing an older Diamond d3 10" on a Diamond 400.1 and his goal was more output while retaining listenability. I will be sure to post pics of everything when completed.

After the amp, components and rear coaxials, he is left with $250 for sub(s)

Yeah I have went round and round with him about only running a nice set of components up front (Focal, Morel etc.) and he is not having it. I even showed him my car which has no real fill. But he insists on 6x9's... And I am a lead installer at Best Buy (insert joke here!) and have a ton of Dynamat extreme at my disposal. Anyhow, I am really looking for sub suggestions if you guys have em! Or suggestions on components that may be a step in a better direction rather than the RF or Alpine.

Ok guys here is the deal. I am putting together a system for a buddy with a budget of $800 for sub, amp and seperates. Details: 2004 Hyundai Sonata Source- Alpine INA-W910 4- Channel- Diamond D3 500.4 He WANTS rear 6x9's and 6.5" components for the front. I narrowed it down to: Rockford T1693 & T1652-S or Alpine SPR69 & SPR60C Now, for the sub. He is going to buy a Diamond HEX750.1 (1 ohm stable). My debate is going with either 2 12" DCONS ported or 1 12" GCON ported. Space is not an issue and I will be building a box to suit the needs of the sub. Any reccomendations on the sub choice or components???

I purchased a 15" Q back in 2009 and the cooling portion "blew" out of the sub, cracking/destroying the dustcap in the process. I have repaired the sub but still need a dustcap! Any help? I have tried to order one on the website but cannot find an option to do so... thanks for any help guys.

Those SP4s looks amazing! But I dont think my 1500 rms will be enough to get the most out of them.

I have not seen the new Fi SP4. Thanks for the info, I will look into them! I have looked at ICONs... cant remember why I ruled them out. The reason I was looking at the Kicker and JBL subs is because I can get a ridiculous deal on them through the company for being an employee of Best Buy. The L7s get loud as hell but will another option get even louder??

Hey fellas. I just started back installing at Best Buy and have moved my old setup (Fi Q15 and Cadence iA7) to my winter truck. Its time to upgrade the 300C. After getting a damn good accomodation price I am awaiting the arrival of a Kicker ZX1500.1 Details: 2007 Chrysler 300C, Big 3 upgrade, 160 amp alt., room for a 6.5 cf. box. Want: More output then my Q15! Love the Q, just want it louder. I want to purchase a single 15" or 2 12"s for a budget of $500 or less. I am looking for a high output driver that is at least musical enough for daily listening. I did like the Q for the lows and would like to keep that in a higher output sub. So far I am thinking of the following: 2 12" Kicker L7s (i can buy both for $250) 2 12" JBL Gti MKII (both for $480) 2 12" Sundown SAs ($390) 2 12" IA Lethal Injection ($380) 1 15" DD3500 ($549) 1 15" Sundown Audio Z v3 ($440) 1 15" SSA XCON ($389) Any input on which of these choices would give me the groundpounder I am looking for being run off of the Kicker ZX1500.1???

So I am currently running a Cadence iA7 and couldn't be more pleased with it's performance. I just ran across a deal from friend who is selling a RF Power T1500-1bdCP brand new for $300. I know I will get substantially more power from the Rockford and I think I am going to switch the two out unless someone tells me why they would keep the Cadence over the RF. Give me your thoughts!
