    I know more about the cutting. that is fine. But say I want to do a massive wall. how do I account for flex between the bed and the cab. I would bring it into the cab just an inch and baffle it inside the cab. will it be ok or will there be too much flex.This will be a FULL cut through. window and all. I hear the boot the fits between the cab and bed/shell is EXPENSIVE. how much are we talking? just an est. 200? or 1000?

    Going over yet another system design...6 x 15's in a wall.....have a couple ideas....thanks to Shawn Flemming...that could work pretty well :-) just trying to get some opinions on both 1 - subs facing forward (would be staggered to fit the height requirement) with the port in the middle 2 - subs firing towards each other, staggered with the port in the middle - basically a ported clamshell there would be 3 subs on each side

    Just to give you guys an idea of a score these can put up... 142.5 outlaw on a Hifonic BXI1206d, stock electric, 4 gauge wire. Done in a 1988 Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon. Box was 3.75ft^3. 46Hz. Burp done at 48 Hz. Being it was my first even I got nervouse on the sweep and screwed that, so had no peak freq yet. So Being as my peak was 46 in my old Subaru wagon with a different box I figured it could be round abouts there. At 140ish Dbs my CD player started to skip, so I was stuck rolling the volume and capped at 142.5. Only imagine if I knew my peak and the CD player didnt skip . Just thought I would post the score. Remember, 3.75 cubes, 15" SSD, stock electric probably getti…

    Hey guys, I have a question about horizontal mounting a subwoofer. I've read various articles on it, looked at the sag factor tech page from adire, and etc... still, i've heard some convincing things about it still not being good. Here's my question for you: I have an 18" BL full loaded and its horizontally mounted. I ran the sag factor equation from adire and it meets the "criteria" of mounting horizontal. however, iv'e heard also that with gravity...it doesnt matter because gravity pulls down on it more and therefore i get more distortion, etc. whats the low down on this? Am i in some bad shape with having my sub horizontal? normally I mount my subs in the typical, firi…

    So, never owning a car in my life, I am getting my first one very soon....big change from trucks and SUVs. I love SPL and am not entirly sure what to do. I was planning on either doing 2 12" Q's ported or 1 12" BTL ported, this is gonna have to be a tough decision for myself. If you have an opinion on what you would prefer, go ahead, be nice to know what other people think. But here is what I need to know also, which way should the subs and port face? They will be going in the trunk of course. Is it correct in saying that the bigger the box is, the smaller the ports need to be and vice versa or no? Just heard this the other day. Any advice at all as well as the an…

If I was to do this then it would be a crx style and the dementions would be 36X22X28 and would need help with the port to get it tuned to 36hz. the box I have now is 36x33x18 tuned to 32hz. any input would be great thanks guys. Also this is being pwered by a exile 2400.1 this is still in the 72' bug hope to have the 200amp alt by then MC

    I was flippin through the new issue of Truckin and had to ask this. why is it that in all these magazines, with these amazing trucks, the subs in the bed of the truck point towards the tailgate. I am assuming cause they do this there may not be a blowthrough, never really could tell. even if there was, what would be the point of pointin the subs this way? is it just show?

    I ordered a BTL 18 today, dual 1 ohm, and I was wanting to see if I could change it to dual 2. I'm using a RF T-1500, and I got to thinking that with the dual 1 I would either be able to run a half ohm load or 2 ohm. I'd like to change it to dual 2 since the amp isn't stable at a half ohm. My invoice number is: I-14072/00 Thanks for the help!

    Alright they don't answer E- Mails at the sight. I'm wondering if my purchase is going to be this way? I will soon be ordering 1 of 2 BTL 18's and want it to go smoothly. It should money talks right?...lol I want D1's, daily, no 3rd magnet, and where does the cooling cancel the other out? Just choose the chamfer right? These will run at 2000 just for daily driving and that friendly slug fest!

    I was interested in purchasing the BL 12 subwoofer with all additional options. I currently drive a Honda Civic 2 door and don't have a lot of trunk space to work with, specifically 16" height X 32" depth X 30"+ inches of width. I wanted to know what the smallest possible enclosure dimensions could be for a ported box, with the box tuned at 33 hz with roughly 2 cubic feet. I am planning on running a Kenwood X1200M, which is 1200 watts @ 2 ohms, which should be sufficient for the sub, right? Also, is there an advantage in running my sub at 2 ohms instead of 1? Specific dimensions and instructions would be appreciated as I am a rookie in the field of car audio. Thanks.
