sounds to me like to much of a load for 4ga wire but im no pro..lol id do upgrade to 1/0 asap,.... and have you done the "big 3"? i havent yet but im planning on it, its said that its one of the best ways to get the most from your electrical system

none on mine but i pretty much on first name basis with mine if i aint home ive got a lil hiding spot hell put em even if signature is required, i also got a btl and i the expression on his face climbing out of that truck carrying that package...hahahaha

btl ftw ...i have a single btl 12" and it slams cant imagine a 18

word!, thats what ill do

what is good to use for that?, i have a buddy that has his amp mounted to his box but between the feet of amp and box he has like 1" rubber bumpers of some sort and hes had no problems after almost 2 years

I hear alot of people on here talking about the cone getting to hot, or warm, but how warm is safe and whats to warm? just curious thanks!

ok cool not i wont hold back haha....i got a fully loaded btl so i was pretty confident that it was ok but like i said i was just curious

yea mine has gotten warm but i wouldnt say that warm.

absolutely insane !!!

yea its awesome im more than happy with the sub, now i just have to get a bigger enclosure to unlock its potential

Ok so im planning on running Stinger hpm 0 ga, with a audioque 2200d pushing a 12" btl in a 2.0 cu. ft. box tuned to 32 hz will be getting bigger soon got it cheap from a friend, and will be keeping my alpine cda 9883 hu for now, this setup will be in a 04 ranger edge with the 3.0, may take my old 4ga wiring from old setup to do big 3, mostly depending on how bad dimmage i have, is there anything ive missed or need to do other than that? Also i hear a lot about people "clipping" being a noob what can do to not let this happen so far ive had 3 audio setups and have had none blow dont wanna start with my btl! Thanks

Dunno man id say do it your self, you will appreciate the work a lot more, and its fun, if you need any help there is alot of knowledge floating around on here just search or ask for help.

Okay so Fi' s website says 1.75-2.5 Cu ft, but ive heard or read on here that they require a lot of airspace what does need to be at? Looking to order enclosure soon so help would be appreciated!

i got my btl 12" installed yesterday and it sounds good but i think its capable of more, i bought a box from a friend that was built 2.0 net cu ft tuned at 32hz, but if calculating correctly than after sub displacement im at fi's minimum suggested size. So how much of a difference would there be with a 3.0 net cu ft box, that would give me around 2.80 cu ft after sub displacement (i think),....thanks

Ok, well i just finished installing my btl and i decided to just drill holes in the box to run wires through to my amp and i used silicone to fill in the holes, so my question is how long should i let it set up before i decide to turn it up safely to tune it with out blowing a hole through the silicone? btw for what it matters i live in middle ga. so its really humid all the time plus its been raining last two days, ive heard that will play a factor in its cure time?

thanks guys, i read the tube but didnt see a cure time so i figured id give it a day....also if im not mistaken it was liquid nail brand silicone

ok so i have a dual2 ohm btl hooked up with a 1 ohm load so for it to be stable how do i need to connect it to my aq2200d, bridged or what?

bump

so there would be four separate wires?

Check your amps settings and then check your head unit settings, you may have the subwoofer level at its lowest volume or something (just gotta check your features and it should get to moving). i did ive got it wired like the pic shows....but like i said it aint getting loud

First, you will want to do what he said! Run EACH wire from each polarity terminal to the amp's terminals. The amp is paralleled inside! So, your sub is dual 2 ohm, run the positive and negative from one side to the amp and same for the other. The resistance will then be 1 ohm nominal... or 0.6-0.7 on a DMM. The amp then needs to be setup properly so hwo do you do that? I honestly dont feel like explaining the whole nine yards right now so i'll make it brief. The amp has a clipping light on it. Get a test tone, lets say 50hz and put it in. Set head unit 75% of the way up, all bass and EQ settings on head unit at 0. If it's an alpine unit, set sub output to +15. If it's another head unit with this capabiltiy, do the same, max it out. Now, have gain set all the way down, connect the remote control unit that came with the amp and turn it's control all the way UP. Set subsonic around 30hz, low pass around 80hz. Now, play test tone, slowly start increasing gain on the amp until the red light on the remote module gets FULL RED. Once it gets full red, turn the gain up on the amp just a LITTLE bit more then STOP and turn down or off the tone before u damage your sub. That's a quick way. If you still got problems, it's user error. so thered be 4 seperate wires?...one from each sub terminal to each amp terminal?
