    I was thinking about getting 2 BTL 15's, i already have 2 2400 kinetiks, 2 h/o alts, and 2 ma audio 4000D's. I want to know do u think that would be a good set up, should i change the amps or what. Also which would would be better between the 15's and 18's, and how should i get them loaded for daily use.

    Hey guys, just here paying my dues in the newbie forum. I'd describe myself as more of a music lover than a basshead. Give me good clean sound quality any day of the week. That being said, I'm not quite an audiophile either, mostly due to budget and a light wallet. My system is, by today's standards, "old school". 1996 Honda Accord Sedan Alpine CDA-9830 AudioControl Three.1 MTX Thunder 4320 Infinity Kappa 5.25" Comp Set in Q-Forms "pods" Infinity Kappa 6.5" Mids in the front doors MTX Thunder 2300 3 JL Audio 10w6's Most of the gear was purchased in the mid to late 90's but still sounds fantastic. What brought me here? I went to college with Nick from Stereo Integrity.…

    Whats up guys? I've always had a car stereo system, just the basic mainstream stuff and here lately I've been really getting into the unknown brands of car audio. Unknown where I live anyways. I just acquired anightshade 18 and am going to purchase another one and see how long it takes to beat my truck to death. I'm not here to pretend like I know it all or anything like that, I'm here to learn from the best! Please school the youngster guys. Anyways thought I'd make my presence known and say hi to everybody.

  9. Started by rk772,

    I am building a system and starting off slow. My first purchase as far as amps and subs will be a SAZ-3000 and a Dual 2ohm BTL18. It will be wired at 1ohm for the 3000 rms. I would like to expand on this later with another SAZ-3000 and BLT18 for a combined 6000 rms. I have never strapped 2 amps before and I'm trying to make sure I buy the correct sub to start off with. I understand the impedance for a single amp system but I'm confused as to how it works when you start strapping amps together. What would my impedance be with the two amps strapped and two Dual 2ohm subs? I'm looking for a final 2 ohms since this is what the strapped amps are rated at. This has probably be…

  10. Started by jonblack,

    Hello everyone. I am jonblack and I live in Louisiana. I last worked as a car stereo and alarm installer over 15 years ago. Needless to say that most everything has changed since then. I recently bought a 1997 Honda Odyssey van. SInce I have plenty of space I thought I would build a very small system, something I have not had in years. In doing research on Alpine Type R subs, I cam across a lot of info on SSA DCON subs. After looking around several forums I have decided to go with a SSA DCON sub. See you around the forum jonblack

I'm putting together a whole new system for the car after blowing my 2nd RE SE12( don't know how/why that happened BTW if anyone has answers I'd greatly appreciate) and this site looks to be a wealth of awesome info and advice. Current status on the car is stock HU, JL 500/1 amp, and a cheapie pioneer sub i got just to have SOME bass while i purchase everything. I've already got a kenwood dnx5140 waiting to be installed and next are infinty components for front and rear, and most likely 2 Sundown SA-12's powered by either a Planet Aud…
