    I got 2 Funkin Audio MF12G2 12"s and one is working fine reads 3.6 Ohms the other is reading nothing. It has a very wired way they get wired I can post a diagram here if needed. But the bottom line is I wired them both up the same one worked one is not. Any idea on who could fix one of these as they are no longer around. Could I just use it's motor and basket and recone it with FI BTL soft parts or someone elses and switch it to dual 2 ohms? If anyone can do this please let me know what would need to be done..

    my car has stock 5.25" speakers in the doors and i really wanna KISS on the front stage, with a 2-way. of course i will be deadening and sealing my doors as much as possible, but right now, i dont wanna spend too much on the mids 70 per will probably be the max for me. I have the seas neo metal version sitting here next to me and a set of aa poly mids. the only problem i think will be the fact the stock grill will ONLY fit a 5.25 speaker and i don't want any bad reflections off the inside of the door panel. I wanna HP the mids over ideally around 80hz, but if i must go to 100 i must. For the amps, i will have an Usamps md42 bridged at 180x2 @ 4 ohms so power should…

    Would this be too much? For daily driving type of stuff? Someone said the Memphis Belle will bridge to about 200 watts each for the front. I am considering buying one of these if this won't be too much for the 302's. Anyone got some suggestions?

    I'm in the process of working out a system for my TJ Jeep. I'd appreciate some advice on different ported-enclosure arrangements to suit it. Leaning towards down firing, but i am concerened about wind interference from port positioning, as if is a soft-top. Also, it will be to suit two Fi BTL 18's or 15's, undecided... Thanks!

    I'll be running a pair of Z15's, I guess I listen to mostly rap, but I spend about half of my listening experience listening to virtually any other genre. Just looking for suggestions on what about I should tune the box to. I was thinking about 33hz, but now find myself second guessing as it comes closer to box building time. Thoughts/inputs/insults?

    I'm getting 2x DC Audio 15" LVL4 XL's for my '91 Acura Integra.... My plan is to build a 7ft3 box tuned to 30hz and fire the subs up (closer to the front of the car..about where the back seat would normally be) and the port up (closer to the rear glass)... I'm gonna push em with 2x Hifonics BRZ2400.1D's @ 1ohm.... my question is kinda simple... more or less, an opinion from experience... has anyone ran sub up, port up...and if so, how did it sound? I always ran sub up, port back or sub back, port back... this is my first time firing both up. I'm thinking it should hit nicely off that hatch. Just wanted to get experienced opinions. Thanks guys.

    I was reading the topic about running 1 vc on a dvc sub, started reading on a link provided in one of the posts by Impious and it got me to thinking. I have 2 SSA Icon d1 subs and want to keep a 1 ohm load, which would be the better option for best daily output off a Sundown 1200v2? Run each vc per sub in series then parallel pairing the subs or parrellel per vc and series pairing the subs? Both subs sharing airspace in a ported box. I hope i am explaining this correctly.

    I just got a 05 RE XXX off someone local and i took a DMM to it and got a weird reading. When wired together it reads 1.5 ohms but seperate one reads 2.0 ohms and the other is sitting @ 4.0 ohms. Would it be bad to run it at the 1.5 ohms? And how does something like that happen?

    I was looking to get 8" or 10" (quantity 2) subs that would compare to my 12" SI Mag. As you know, caraudio is addicting and I'm always looking for new ideas. This happens to be my latest one. I was thinking 4 Bravox PXW 8" in 2.4cuft @ 33hz, but am not too sure. Then I was also thinking 2 used SA-8s. My third idea is two 10s. Max cuft = 2.7cuft net Power options = 500 @4ohm, 900 @2ohm, 1200 @1ohm. Budget = $150 I want to have the same or more SQ/Loudness as my 12" Mag or previous 12" SSA Icon. Might not be do-able, but would like to hear your guys input!

    A buddy of mine wants me to put a system in his 2006 ford f250 4 door truck. He wants the subs behind the back seat. I have about 4.5" of mounting depth, about 14-15" in height, about 60" long, and about 1.25-2 cubes to work with. He wants to be able to hit the lows fairly good in a ported box. Which sub or subs should i get for him? Sizes? How many? I know the shallow mount subs like the cvts and p3s are pretty good but they dont get too low. Also i have 1200 watts at 1 ohm available to work with. So any wattage up to that would be recommended.
