kool thanks man, and i saw your build thread. those 18's looked great in there.

im actually wanting to up to 4 15" icons or xcon walled off once i get out of high school.

oh and i do have a question actually

as you could see, i am upping my front and rear stage, i am gettin the adapter for the front, so will i need them for the rear?

i know that the part holding the speaker in looks very similar to the front but am not sure if id need adapters or not to put 5 1/4's in.

Nick.

You don't really need rear speakers. You won't hear them, with your bass !

yah but id jus like to have em in the car. might as well jus spend the extra 90 on the coaxials. probably gonna do that last tho.

also, will be adding pics in a few hrs.

u need adapters for the front.

For the rear, i used 6.5s without adapters and worked fine.

ok kool, thanks.

[swagger_wagon468 53]

Picz! Im ready for u to get your subs. Now you are doing xcons right/?

[nicholasrhall 0]

yah doing xcons instead--2 12's

space in the trunk wouldnt allow for 2 15's

i got the box built, holes from screws are filled and im sanding it down tomorrow to prep for carpet.

will be black carpet and a flourescent green port.

i have to go buy batts for my camera to take pics so i will do that tomorrow morning. then will have PICS.

oh and i will be ordering the xcons soon -- hopefully tomorrow, then will probably get them late jan.

that will give me time to get the amp rack and stuff built, carpeted, an looking nice.

DO NOT DO REAR SPEAKERS! It is a complete waste! You should focus on your front stage not some rear speaker garbage.

yah i kno, wont be able to hear em, but im jus gonna do it anyway, but it will be the last thing that will be done. everything else comes first.

[Notorious97200 339]

2 12" Xcons ? Great choice on subs. The Icons are good, very good, but those are

It's the setup I'd love to have in my car. But the trunk/hatch is too small and I won't be able to fit any rear battery to feed the big amp necessary.

Maybe one day I'll try some 10" Xcons. Who knows ?!!!

yah i have to gut the whole hatch/trunk of my car to bet a box big enough for em to fit in the tc.

an even after that idk if i have the space for extra batts. probably jus gonna have to go wit jus the alt and a xs batt or sumtin under the hood

[swagger_wagon468 53]

Gotta have the batts to feed the alt...

two of these should be enough. correct? dimensions are perfect for under the hood of the tc an the other can be put i the rear

[swagger_wagon468 53]

Xs power is a GREAT brand of battery... but look into Odyssey.

They are cheaper and very strong. Kyle from DC Power alts is running only 2 of their biggest batts for 13,000w rms. And doesnt go beloe 13v with hos 270xp alt.

And the biggest one is tge same price as one D3100 from XS. And u would need alpt more than 2 D3100s for 13kw...

Call me tomorro after 6 and we can talk.

later.

I run two of the D3100's on 5k with a stock alt and don't drop below 13v myself either.

I would look into used batteries more specifically Deka Intimidators which can be had a very low cost and are great batteries.

I would not put a larger battery up front unless there are space limitations in the back, not a huge reason to in the first place. I myself know many people who don't even run front batteries.

yah thats the thing, there is damn near no space in the back once the box is in. so i would think upping the front and putting one in the back would be good, or would jus one d3400 suffice.

an ill look into odyssey

Depending how much power you are running I would attempt to fit the largest you can upfront, modifying the battery try may help too.

Do you have a spare tire well? I used to put my batteries down there and would leave my spare out.

measure your battery tray a few different ways to see if you could lay it sideways to fit a larger battery and then extend your cables from your wiring harness to fit it's new position.

as far as i can see, modding the battery tray looks to be impossible.

but there is enough space there for a d3400 or similar sized battery.

and the tire well is taken, to fit a box in the back that was 5ft^3 while keeping rear seats i have to take everything out of the tire well and sit the box down in it.

and there may be enough space beside it to fit one battery, 2 in the back would be a squeeze and idk if it would even be possible.

edit:

oh and i would be running 2400rms at first but would be adding an amp for front an rear, an i would also like to have the spare power to add another 2400 in the future.(but thats a ways off)
