    Does anybody know if the 302's crossover can stand up to being mounted in the door? They will not be exposed to water or whatnot, but will they survive the opening and closing of the door on a daily basis? Just kinda had a thought about how to install them.

    I just built a 4th order BP box for a Panasonic 10" woofer, and it sounds terrible. Not "bandpass" bad, just designed wrong. The frequency response is WAY off. Here is what I have: Panasonic 10" t/s Vas: 42 L Fs: 30.0 Hz Qts: 0.37 I input that into the calculator on carstereo.com and came up with: Volume front = .397 ft^3 Volume rear = .533 ft^3 Fb (front side) = 58.3 Hz Frequency response ~ 35-90 Hz Added sub displacement and port displacement to the front and rear volumes and built the box. Due to the small area, I could only get a 3" port into the enclosure. Maybe that is too small? Calculated a 3" x 12" long port. Anybody tell me what to do different????? Thanks! …

    Have any of you guys heard them? How do they sound in terms of SQ or are they just geared towards getting loud? I read some reviews but they were from ppl that are running them. I wanted to get a larger unbias populations opinion. Thanks

    The box will be between 4.6-5 ft^3 @ 30-33 hz, it will include 2-12" subwoofers (subs up, port in front) powered by a Sundown Saz-2000d. Big Three already done, battery upgrades coming soon and it will be going in the trunk of a Saturn Ion-2003. Which subs should I choose, price is not an option but listed in least expensive on up(if you suggest a sub thats not on the list thats fine, all input is greatly appreciated): SSA Icon $275.00 Sound Splinter RL-P $295.00 Incriminator Audio Death Row $319.00

    I have made up my mind that i want to run 2000wrms, but I can't decide is whether on 2 15's or just one 18. I feel the two 15's will just be too much and the one 18 will do what I want it to. I want it to be at least semi-musical, but kill the lows. Nothing too loud, just something louder than my two type r 12's that we shoved in my friend's camaro (build log coming) This is a daily driver setup. Nothing extreme, just an enthusiast.

    ok ive got a rf t10001bd that does 1633 watts rms at 1 oh and 1110 at 2 ohm. i also have a 2.5 cubic ft per side ported box tuned to 35-38 hz. the subs i have now are rf's t112d4. one of them blew for supposively no aparent reason at all so i replaced it. now the other one blew and yet again no reason. so i was thinking of switching brands. i have heard about the fi's, and just wondering what ones to really look at. i was thinkin the bl or the q series. im mostly spl but want it to sound good too. and if i do end up getting some, what ohm load should i get? and how would i wire them to 1ohm or above? Thanks.

I'm honestly just not sure if I should go with a sealed or vented enclosure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated i've done a lot of searching and reading on the site and i'm just at th…
