    It sounds really good. I had 2 real options with subs and the box I have. The IDQ was one of the few 10" subs that had a shallow mounting depth and worked well in a small enclosure while still being able to take a fair amount of power. I could fit a shallow mount 12" but the only one that looked really interesting was the Stereo Integrity but they were out of them for good until the new design comes out. I also have no experience with the shallow mount subs, so I dont know if I would be loosing anything with it.

    Thanks! I finally got around to getting some holes drilled and cleared up the wiring a little bit.

     

    I have one problem that I need to look at, ever since installing everything the FM Radio on my HU is horrible, I get tons of static on my local stations that used to be crystal clear. I need to check and see if I have an interference problem with the RCA's or maybe I need a better grounding off the HU.

    First and foremost thanks a million to Nem who set me up with an awesome Zed Lev and answered all of my questions I had. I finally got a finished build that I'm pretty happy with. Maybe a few more things to do down the road but that's to be seen. Sorry for the large pictures.

     

    My work is pretty shoddy, especially with that ensolite foam but it works well.Everything sounds great, this is my first build that I dont have a massive amount of space to work with. All of this tucks away nicely behind the rear seat.

     

    Build Consisted of

    Alpine CDE-W265BT

    Zed Leviathan

    RE Audio XXX 6.5 Comps

    ID 10" IDQ v.4 woofer

    Knuconceptz wiring

    Stinger RCA's

    Raamat inside Front doors on all 3 areas of metal and Ensolite Foam over the Deadener

    So after doing some poking around I find I really like the looks of the versatility of the Zed Lev and the Arc Audio 1200.6. I went to call Zed today and found out the number on their website isn't in service any more, so that didn't give me the warm and fuzzies. So I'm probably going to take a hard look at the Arc amp but I know nothing about Arc, do they have a good rep overall?

    I think the amp will fit the bill perfectly since I decided to go with RE XXX 6.5 Comps which seem power hungry and I'm undecided on the sub right now. I would have loved to got my hands on a SI BM MK, but I was about a month to late starting this project.

    You did know ssa is a zed vendor right? Your questions could be answered right here. Just an FYI

     

    Yeah I saw the amp in the store here which is what led me to them. The Zed forum hasn't had a post since October, I'll reach out and see what I can find on them. I just had general questions about the amp that I wanted to talk with them about as well.

    6.5 and you can but under the seat is MUCH more airspace

    J

    Do you happen to know what can be stuffed under the seat reasonably easy? I have no objections with doing that, especially if I can get a bigger sub. Using the space behind the back seats really limits the mounting depth, thus making me have to look at subs I wouldn't normally look at.

    Like 10 years awhile, it's good to be back here and poking around at everything thats going down. Putting a new system together in my truck and have a couple questions.

     

    I have the option to use 6x9 components in my front doors, are they worth it these days or should I just stick with 6.5's? Looks like RE Audio and Kicker make a few different 6x9 components, I would most likely go with the RE's if I went that route. The IA componets look enticing for the price as well.

     

    Does anyone have much experience with Double Cab Tacoma's and what can be stuffed behind the seat? I'd loved to be able to fit a Single ported 12" with space for the Amp / Crossovers.

     

    Thanks a head of time!

    Hey mike is it possible for you to recone an original 15" RE HC with RL-p soft parts? I'd much prefer to give you the money than RE. Please let me know.

    First time poster here with a question about the RL-P. I have entered the market to find a new sub after a nuked my old school round solo(12 inch D series, had it less than a week bought it brand new never used). I was floating around the caraudio.com forums and saw many people talking up the sound splinter product(I created a similar post to this over there today and all repsonse have been very positive) so I checked out the web site and came away impressed, yet looking for more info. Basically I just wanted to get some opinions as to how this speaker compares to my solobaric.

    I went with the solo because I loved the small sealed box design. I want my system to sound good but don't want to lose all of my trunk space. As for power I have a PPI PC2150, which is rated at 600 x 1 @4 ohms but I have heard that it may put out more than that. I am looking to once again go with a single 12 setup. While searching I have come across the obvious names W6, W7, Type R, L7's and have been able to listen to them all. I liked the JL's but the cost is just too much. I have also done some research into the ID MAX's as well but even they are some what highly priced. Any info you guys can provide would be great.

    thanks again

    Just as said on ca.com, you will love this woofer. It does everything the right way and nothing the wrong way.

    My RL-p

    Thats my 15, 2.5 sealed, ~450 watts.

    Nah you wont pass out you just lose your vision. Ive fade to black for damn near a minute before, feels like an eternity while its going on though.

    You have full consciousness, while its happening, just cant see anything. Very scary the first few times. Know I now when its going to happen so i can sit down or grab something.

    Headrush, I get those every now and then from random things. If theres nothing around for me to hold on to ill fall down, it sucks.

    They start at my toes for me then come up my body, usually followed by a cold sweat.

    This stuff is beyond me, but I like it. The reason I say a higher Hz is when playing a 30hz tone vs a 60hz tone the cone moves so much faster with the 60 or it at least appears to. So I wasn't sure if a higher hz would bring up the velocity of the cone. From what your saying though the higher the hz the less displacement the driver throws?
