Sundown X18 build

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

Im starting a build on my 99 isusu trooper.  My X18 dual 2 ohm sub came in today and i ordered a hifonics zeus 1800w rms amp a couple days ago for a temporary amp.  Im planning on getting a sundown amp later on.  Im going to start on my box when it gets a little warmer out.  Im going to be posting pictures of the build over the next few months.  To start off, heres my sub.  Hope you guys enjoy

Zeus isn't that bad. Uses the same board as the brx series. It wont be 1800rms though.

Eesh, gotta say when I first saw the surround roll on the X series I was a little put off, thought it looked goofy.  And now every time I see one I want to fill a Suburban with them.

 

I love that basket too, I'm not sure I could decide to mount ass out or conventional.

Here's a little update. The box is almost done, just touching up a few things. Il post a pic soon. I'm hopefully ordering the next set of things soon which are: 175a high output alternator, a xs power battery, a 500w hifonics zeus amp for door speakers, rockford fosgate front door speakers, and some wire for the big 3. I'm going to install it when it gets a little warmer out.
