    Looking to start buying the pieces for my next build and im fairly sure im going to be using a bc2000 to power it but as far as drivers im pretty split between a few options. I want to be able to get really loud at around the 30-33hz area and really loud period but no a complete loss of musical ability. Going to be a daily driver build. Mainly been looking at either 2 15" ssa icons, dc level 4s, fi bl's or 4 sa-12s. Im leaning toward the sa-12s right now. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Yep uncle sam put the big old red white and blue shaft to me this year. So no new build anytime soon. Guess I'll have to use the Powerbass XL 15"s I have sitting in the closet unfortunatly they are huge air space hogs. Just need an amp. I've got my Elemental designs nine.2 running my borrowed 13ov.2s right now. It works but Not quite what I am used to or want. Just had to vent a little.

    I only have a 60 amp alt. and i was wonder if it's okay to put a second battery in the back of my car like a kinetik hc 1800, will it be able to charge my stock battery and the second bigger battery in the back? i'm just running 1000w rms. i'm thinking of a second battery because i'm planning to get a new car next year, so a second battery will be easier to transfer to the new car, then a bigger alt.

    Hey guys i found this great deal on G31 shipped for 150 each. and i was looking for a review on these batteries? like has anyone had any previews experience with these batteries? also more importantly that price seems really low to me is that the price they go for normally? and one more thing these are BLANK deka g31's. which means they don't have a label on them the seller does say they are 100% deka's though? any thoughts or recommendations? thanks for your time Kenneth

  9. Hey guys, I just ordered myself an AA mayhem 12" and I am currently waiting on it. In the meantime I have been looking for a box to put it in. I immediately went over to the Khaotic enclosures to see what they had for a ported single 12. At first I found exactly what I was looking for, A low tuned box, Nicely built, For a good price. However After taking more measurements, I realized that the box isn't going to fit in my 03 Mercury Sable. I went back onto the forums to see if I could find anything else. I came across the DC creations boxes and I filled out an inquiry to get a quote on a box. I still have not gotten a response over the past few days. I don't have the mat…

    Hey guys. Ill be coming back to the U.S from Afghanistan next year and by that time I'll have enough money saved up to upgrade my sound system a bit. I'm in need of someone who is good at building ported enclosures around the shreveport, la area. I'm willing to drive a couple hour to have this done. Any help of info would be greatly appreciated.

  22. Started by Bobby32,

    I have 5.38 cubes after displacements other than port. My tuning is 32hz. I have an 8'' port going 12.75'' in the box, 12.75'' is my limit because I want 8'' of clearance from the bottom of port to bottom of box. Anyways, I have 12.75'' in and I have 7.8'' out of the box for a total of about 20.6'' of port. The port inside the box takes up .38 cubes so that leaves me with 5^3 inside the box after displacements. I think I have too much port length on the outside of the box, but I can still cut the port down. Any idea on what it should be?

    Should the bass eq on my sundown amp be all the way down. I know my bass boost is supposed to be on 0. I have my subsonic filter on 30, enclosure tuned to 33hz.. crossover on 80.. Gain is about 80 too. To tune the amp right shouldent i turn up the volume all the way and make sure the gain is at 0 and carefully adjust, until you hear distortion turn it down a little?

    Ok, my dumb ass can't figure this out. I have a pair of dual 4 ohm 12's. If I wire each sub in series to make 8 ohms then wire the 2 subs together to get 4 ohms, would that mean a pair of strapped 1500d's will see 2 ohms each? Thanks for any input!
