    I'm currently running an eD SQ10 in a tiny sealed stealth enclosure (see this thread in the eD forums for pictures) in the rear hatch of my Scion xA. It sounds ok but I'm looking for something a bit louder and lower. I'm considering replacing the hatch floor with 3/4" MDF and going with a 12" IB3 I should have just enough clearance for it. But, I've searched the forums and haven't seen any mention of the IB3. I'd probably pick up the SVC 2ohm version and put about 500 watts to it from a bridged Boston GT-22. Thanks in advance for any input. E

    Hey guys, been awhile since I have been on here to pick your brains. I had my Charger SRT, got it set up nicely, and realized I really dislike cars so I sold it and got a F150, 4 door. Every truck I have had I put a fiberglass lid on the back and did a blowthrough going into the cab. I have always been happy with that, but could never haul anything. In keeping with a truck theme, I am planning on keeping the back open this time. To get a decent amount of bass I would like to rip out the back seat and put two individual seat in there and build a custom fiberglass console running up to the front seat, maybe a little further. So, have any of you tried this or heard a s…

    This is my first system. I'm not sure how many speakers to get to compliment my subwoofers. I was thinking four 6 1/2" component speakers for the doors (amplified of course). Is this enough or will the subwoofers over power the mids/highs? The speakers are Rockford Fosgate Power T1652-S.

    Just ordered myself (2) 15 btls fully loaded...for once in my life I'm actually feelin patient becauase I have a strong feeling that its well worth the wait...my main concern though is if they are on back order do I still expect 3-7 business days for production or may I find myself waiting awhile? Also (2) RF T2000.1bds will be powering them...btl÷T200=good couple? (Birth certificates are both 2800s at 1 ohm) thanks!

    Hi, i own a 15" dual 2 BL running off a xtr2400 old school orion amp. ATM i'm running 1200watts(4ohms) to my 15. I recently owned a xtr1000, which ran 1000watts at 1ohm to my 15(which is why i have the dual 2 setup, and im an idiot for not getting universal option). But anyways now that i own this beastly amp, i would like to get the most out of it. I am thinking of buying another dual 2 15 BL and being able to wire it to 2ohms OR selling(craigslist) my 15 and buying a new 15 BTL dual 1 of course. To sums things up, what would be better output, loudness, slammin' balls wise: 2 15 BL'S or 1 15 BTL. And im sorta on a money budget right now... Greatly appreciate yalls thoug…

Anyway its a little something i tossed together so you can see another view of it.

    Like the title says, I was wondering if there are pumping losses or air noise exiting from the cooling channels or the like thanks. Just to be clear, I'm only curious about bp power option only, let's just say the sub was inverted for reference.

    Here is a photography project I did titled "Speakers of Nature." The idea was that the speakers I use in my car have been applied to nature to contrast the uncanny replication of sound that speakers can make to that of something so natural sounding that you would never have known it to be replicated in the first place. Anyways, that was the idea and from there I used everyday tools that just about every car audio enthusiast has to create this project. I will post the pictures in order from cover to cover. Thanks for looking! Ps. Sorry for the quality of the images but I didn't want anyone copying my work. But feel free to use my ideas, just don't claim it as …

  20. I am trying to send my sub into you guys for a recone, and assuming I should ship it to the general address. I can't get a hold of anyone at your company to verify that this is the address that I should ship my sub to for a recone, and I don't want to blindly ship it out to an address without getting confirmation from you guys. Please let me know, thank you! PS - For anyone that might bring it up, I already spoke with Nick via email and they are expecting my sub once I pay, but I can't pay or do anything yet without a shipping address.
