    Im wondering what sub i should use with a Kicker ZX750.1 . Im gonna be getting the amp with my next check (i hope) and im wondering what sub i should use with it. Im looking for a single sub setup and prefer using a 12". I have a RE SE atm but i was wondering if there is somthing that will do good off this power, 750 rms @ 2ohm. Ill be using ported and have a good amount of space for a box. My budget is around 200 for a sub. I want somthing thats gonna sounds loud to the ear, dont realy care about on the mic (dont think there are many comps around my area anyway). A few subs i was thinking of switching too were Audioque SD2.5 FI SSD no options Kicker L7 Im open to any id…

    I have a modded mojo 2500D on the way and I'm very interested in these subs. On paper they seem to be exactly what I want. If I get two the amp will be ran @ 0.5ohm with somewhere around 1700w per sub. I can only afford one for now so I will probably run it at 4 ohm. Could a single Havoc handle 3kw if I wired it at 1ohm? On a side note, I see alot of vented boxes with the port at one end and the sub(s) at the other end. I usually place the port between the subs in a dual sub setup. Is there any gain from porting at the end of a box?

    I will be building my first ported box soon and was wondering about port location? I will be using a box design that i found on SSA website for 2 Sundown SA 12's with a kicker ZX1000.1 at a 2ohm load. See the link..... 12" DUAL PORTED 4.0 ft^3 t 30 hertz My link My question is , If i use this box and move the port to the outside but leave it at the same end will it change the tuning, i would think so but not sure. Sorry if i this is a stuipid question but as i said this will be the first ported enclosure that i have owned/built. I plan on the subs firing upwards on top of the enclosure and will be pushing the box close to my rear seat. Hope i gave enough info. thanks in …

    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!

  15. Hey I'm new here on the forums so forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section! I'm really interested in the X series from Sundown. I wanted an X 18, but from what I read, it would need like 6 ft^3, and I just cant get that much into my 3G Eclipse. I took some measurements for about the biggest rectangular box I could fit, and came up with a little more than 4 ft^3. First of all, I need advice on which speaker(s) to get. Should I just put the 18 in the 4 ft^3 box? Go with an X15? or go with 2 X12's? Whichever we come up with, I'm going to need a box for! I'd like to port the box and tune it to around 30 hz, maybe 32 (which I know is a little high for the X series). …

    I have been looking at Fi for a long time now and have some money in line to get one. What my idea is to buy a 15" BTL fully loaded (Dual 2) for daily driving as my Accent is my only vehicle. I am currently running 2 Power Acoustic 15's from a single Ultra Linear 1600Watt amp. I am currently running stock electrical (not sure if upgrading will screw with my warranty.) Along with buying this i am looking at the Ultra Linear 2400@Watt amplifier. I am curious if that will be stable enough to run it. with out hurting it. in order to run that amp I would be running it bridged at 4ohms and getting the 2400RMS. (as long as i can upgraded my electrical without voiding my warrant…

    So i have a friend giving me 4 RF 12" punches tomorrow in a big sealed box. I'm wanting to put it in my car just to see how it sounds. I'm pretty sure the punches are 4 ohm DVCs. Anyone have a good diagram on how I should wire these for minimal impedance? It would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone is curious on how they perform, I will shoot a video and post it on here.

    So I've always noticed the impeadence/graph phases on most (good) subwoofer companies manuals, but I've never understood necessarily how they worked. Of course I know what impeadence and phase meant, but not too sure how it works on this graph (the frequency on the X axis, resistance on Y). To my understanding, it has to do with backpressure in the intended enclosure, so at the certain frequency where the resistance peaks that is where the backpressure in the enclosure its meant for peaks? And as for phase I guess thats just saying that 1 line is at 0 degrees and the other is at 180? But thats my guess whether its right or wrong the factor of backpressure? I've been getti…

    Hey guys, I have an '01 sonoma reg. cab. I'm looking for some opinions on what subs to run in it. I have roughly 1.67cf internal space to work with. I'm leaning toward a single 10 ported, but I'm open to suggestions. The sub(s) will be seeing around 1000-1200watts total. I'm more of a spl than sq guy so I'm thinking ported is the way to go. Also, I'm 6'-4" so leg room is nice to have. Anymore than one or two clicks and I'll be eating the dash. I've thought about a blow-thru, but I've had them before and really want to try and do this without cutting up my truck. Thanks in advance for your input. -Lee
