Looks good man! Glad to have you back! Be sure to make a Build Log.

Nice choice of equipment you there.

Where did you find the DC amp? I dont see them anywhere.

It's a secret and I would have to kill you if I told you...

Na, I got it in a trade for my IA40.1, which was blown.

cool vid ... nice ride ...

Thanks man. Once I finish tweakin everything, I will get some flex vids up.

You guys think a 135amp alt is enough for a 2200w rms amp?

[jcarter1885 995]

It will come down to what electrical upgrades you have in the car, hopefully the Big 3 and a spare battery may help. But the only way to tell is to install the amp and a voltmeter and monitor your voltage then make an assessment from there depending on your voltage drops.

You can contact Rusty at DC and iquire about them. They are a basic Zenon built amp that Rusty had made for the European customers.

lol, I have issues. I am already considering a 7cuft box with 4 4"x17" aeroports.... it would basically be the same box I have in there, except deeper. That would mean no back seat for the kids. The catch is that we always drive my wife's car as a family anyways....and I can always just keep the sealed box. Plus, if I go ported, I would upgrade to BL's or subs with similar specs and output.

Thoughts?

[Kanaworm$ 292]

Definitley going to be louder by going ported and going to the BL's will be even louder.

[BryanTheCEO 59]

Yezzirrr! the more I think about it, the more I have to do it. I will start the build next month. I figure with 4 Q15's, I should be able to sell them and get enough cash for a pair of BL's... Oh why oh why did I have to come back to this addiction??? I was sober for so long!

If it were me I would try the "Q"'s in a ported enclosure. I think you will be surprised at the increased output. Not designed to be a spl or high output driver, but by putting it in a ported enclosure you will see another side to this great woofer. Just my .02!

Yes, that is exactly what I am doing, an then I can switch them out with BL's later, but ultimately I do want to upgrade to a pair of BL15's.

What do you guys think of maybe doing a single BTL 18" on 2K RMS. 8 cubes tuned to 32hz. I think the pair of BL15's would push more air on 1k rms each.

[Kanaworm$ 292]

Both would move the air quite well! 2 15" in a recommended enclosure will have more output due to increased cone and motor over the 18".

[BryanTheCEO 59]

Yeah that's true, plus I would already have the box ready to drop a new pair of 15's in.

Thanks dude. I saw some at the Sac Autorama in the DC sound lab jeep and wondered how they came about. I never seen them before, not even on the site.
