    Yup, another squid... but a damn good looking one. I just bought an '05 4Runner and am halfway through a helluva quality budget build. Scion T1809 HU, MB Quart components/coaxials... and looking for a budget monster 8" sub. I've pretty much decided on a RL-i8 at around .4cuft, but am also looking at an Orphan8... $50 is $50 after all. I was trying to keep the whole thing under $500... and was there with a used Cadence amp and an Alpine 10R... but then I got to looking at how big I was going to need to build a box and it was just too much. Now I need a SMALL box. I've got a few questions about the best way to spend my money and other options... those Tang Band W8 Neo's a…

    been here for a little bit, but just found this topic, so here is my unofficial "first" post! im driving a 2005 suzuki forenza, with stock battery, alt and ground wires (for now) running two rockford fosgate P3s in a ported box. a hifonics 1208D mono amp, with 4 awg wire. i just ordered a refurbished saz1500D from Db-r.com to start my new build. I'm working with Quentin at audible customs to build my box for the fully loaded Fi Bl 15" that will soon be ordered. along with that a Kicker 1/0awg wire kit. hope to get somewhere close to the numbers i have seen this sub push, if i can ever find a meter or a comp. way up here in nowhereville to actually test this stuff

    Hey all. I am quite new to the world of car audio and its already completely addicting. I found my way to this forum/site thanks to the guys at caraudio. They recommended a 187 series Sub. I plan on ordering a 10 or 12 incher for my new system. I'm running a 5350A Reference amp from infinity. I have 300RMS at 2ohms. Can anyone suggest which would be better, a 10 or 12? Thank you very much. The reason im getting a 187 is i only have around 100 bucks to spend.

    hey i'm new here to the forums I discovered this website while on youtube and i doubt i'll ever leave. There so much information floating around on this website its amazing compared to most car audio sites where you have to sort though like 20 topics to find something decent. Anyway right now im just running a very basic setup which is a Alpine 9984 hu, 2 Kicker CVR 10's on a Rockford Fosgate 600watt amp, and some Pioneer door speakers in my 98' F150 extended cab. But soon i'm hoping to upgrade to hopefully a icon 15 with a sundown 1000d amp (the package on the ssa store website) anyway i just wanted to say hi to all!

    My name is Daniel and I'm new to car audio (the real car audio). I became interested in FI audio last night after doing a little research, and I have decided that my 1st car audio system is going to include 2x Q15s. (I was thinking about getting 2x 15" MTX Thunder 9500s, till I heard of a certain brand that makes custom made, strong, reliable subs for cheap prices) I have lots of questions and it looks like most -or all- of you on the forum know what you're talking about (cause I don't =S)
