    thanks guys.... yea i need to get my 18's really soon (the next mod) I just love the whine that supercharger puts out when i hit it
  6. Ok guys... here is what will be my spring project!! I have a 2k3 Grand prix GTP... nice size trunk, though i'd like to have as much of it left as possible. Here is what I am thinking: 2 15" Magnum D2's 2 PG Tantrum 1200.1's Sealing off the trunk and facing the speakers and port into the cabin. I will have to customize a way for my whole back seat to fold down, but i'm sure that will be managable. I figure I'll have to build this box inside my trunk to get it to fit. What I'm looking for out of you guys is some pointers. As some of you know, I'm still somewhat of a n00b when it comes to the big stuff.... but I still want it all!! I'd like to compete with this if at all possible, but that isn't the main priority. She is going to be a show car(30+ shows this year), So i would like to use some plexi on the back of the box (viewable from the trunk) to see that sexy ass of the sub's. questions... -What will the minimum size encloser (volume) that I will need to get these things to pound.. and what should I tune it to. -What kind of electircal upgrades would i have to do... I have a price on an upgraded alt. from that guy Dom if i need it. I will be pulling 2400+watts with those 2 amps. Maybe another battery in the trunk, i dunno. I know i have to do the "big 3" -Should I Dynamat the whole car? -Wiring... I have 0 guage going to the trunk now.. with a 200amp circuit breaker under the hood.. will I need another circuit breaker? Anyway.. most important thing is the box design for the subs (hense why its in this section). Any and all tips are welcome!!! And maybe i can talk aaron into giving me a hand or 2 when i start on this ordeal B) Thanks guys!!!!!!!! PS.. I'd also be interested in some SI components.. if they are as good as some of the guys say they are. I was eyeing up some focal utopias.. but if they are comparable, i'd like to keep some things uniform.. and hell, maybe nick could cut me a deal

    Time to plan for the show car....

    Thanks for the info guys!! I'm sure i'll pick some of your brains as i get things started one other question... i see some ports are thinner then others, while keeping the same over volume... is there any advantage with making a port big enough to fit my arm through lol... or is the volume of the port the only thing that matters?

    Rules to go by for higher SPL

    I've read that when a cap is drained.. the power that u try to pull just skips the cap and gets used in the amp and doesnt cause the cap to be a load... but i'm not an expert can anyone explain
  18. When i e-mailed dom.. i got a responce on the next work day.. and we threw a few e-mails back and forth all within minutes seems like a cool guy

    Mangnum Install...

    Looks like this new awesome sub will actually be going into my girlfriends alero. The goal that I am trying to acomplish is to make everything hiddin from the trunk view. So the sub will fire into the cabin, as well as the port. I would like to seal the box from the trunk, and match the fabric from inside the trunk so you can't tell that she has anything in there. I want this sub to get reallllly loud, it needs to sound pretty good too.. but loud is good I am pretty good at building things... i have built a few sealed boxes that worked really well, but i have yet to experiment with a ported enclouser. The hifonics 1000D seems like the amp i am leaning towards, but i haven't purchased it yet. So i need some box designs... internal volume, port dementions.. and what tunning hz that will come out to.. and will that internal volume include the port... blah blah, all insite would be appreciated Thanks!
