    So i picked up my 18 inch btl with hiXM coil and cooling options(DAILY). Now for the amp. Normally i would say that i don't have the money for the SAZ-3000D, but i found it online refurbished for the same price that i can pick up the Rockford Fosgate t2001BD from sonicelectronix. I read a post from a guy who got the refurbished SAZ-3000D and he claimed that it was functionally perfect so i wouldn't mind purchasing it. both are about $560. I plan on doing all the elcetrical upgrades necessary for either of these amps (big 3, Kinetic hc2000, high output amp, all that good stuff) now my only concern is that my sub is the dual 2 ohm and i will be running it down to 1 ohm like…

    I have a toyota ex cab truck and I was wanting to know what is the biggest sub set up I can fit in the back? The space in the back is 19'' deep X 22'' tall X and 53'' wide. I want to do a ported box with either 2 Q18's or 2 Q15's. Given this amount of space what do you think I could fit back there? -Alex

    I'm running an SSD10 in a ~.8cuft sealed box with 400W from a PDX. I'm mostly satisfied but it seems to lack the very bottom end...just doesn't have any oomph and sounds like response rolls of pretty sharp. I only notice it once in a while on certain tracks where I expect to get a low hit. I've had this sub for a couple of years but I swear the enclosure specs used to call for a larger enclosure compared to the .2-.6 I see now. That's why I'm in the bigger box. Can this thing really perform well in .3-.4cuft?

    So if I get a DVC 2ohm BTL that means there are two voice coils, which just ONE can handle 2kwrms correct? So if I hook up 2kwrms to each, shouldnt that work? Or lets say 1500 on each coil for less heat? Yes yes I understand Im retarded, but you never learn if you never ask P.s. figured out my other question..

    So I'm new to car stereo and was hoping yall could help me out. I've been doing alot of research on subs and have decided on a 15" BL for my tahoe. Im wondering if yall could help me make some decisions on which options to chose for the sub itself and what kind of amp i would need to power it. I'm looking for some pretty hard hitting bass at some points, and at others i just like some good sounds. Thank yall for looking and for your opinion.

  24. OK, i am doing a system for a friend in a 1996 lincoln town car, the equipment i am getting is 2- 18" SSD's and will be powered off a Rockford Fosgate t1500-1bd . The problem is there are hydraulics in the car so i have very limited trunk space to work with. the measurements i have taken leave me with a max of 39" wide x 24.5"length x 14.5" tall . i think this comes out to be about 6.6 cu.ft. BEFORE any displacements . I know that this is WAY UNDER THE RECOMMENDATION, but i do not have any more room to spare. it will never be metered or compete it is just for show which is why he wants the 18's but even though it's, not going to compete it still has to be LOUD.
