You're buying four 18s. You have no desire for sound quality. Be honest with yourself. You just want to get loud and have it stay clean. Easy to do as long as you stay within the means of any driver you choose and don't stress anything.

I got my amp for several days now, and this little monster makes my 15 Icon sound soooo good! I was hoping so, but it is really great! Now I am waiting for an Xcon15 for a friend. How long will it take? Don't know. Still no news about it! Waiting, waiting...I am just a little anxious, but confident in SSA.

great site alot of good info and alot of knowledge on this site from everyone thank keep it going

Barriers work in both directions. Nothing you can do when the windows are down. In a perfectly deadened car the windows are going to be the weak link when they're up. Nothing you can do short of completely rebuilding the car.

It depends on the tuning frequency of the box, there is no set value. Reason being that the frequency that the subsonic is at is the -3db point, not the point at which the rolloff begins. So, since an octave is a doubling or halving of frequency and as you increase frequency octaves grow in size, you can't use a specific number. It has to be relative to the tuning frequency. But for most boxes, since they're mostly tuned in the 30-35 range, 5 hz below tuning frequency is fine.

Either way it wont matter since you will be giving both speakers the same power either way, usually it would matter if you run them at 1 ohm or 2 ohms (since a lower ohm load = equals lower power and less strain on the vehicles voltage) but in this case you will be bridging at its ohm load stability also so I think it will be an even call. It just boils down to personal preference. Sorry jay-cee your incorrect. lower ohm load = a higher strain on your electrical system. you loose efficiency as the ohm load goes down there fore your amplifier requires more amperage. Its solely dependent on the amp if you can run it at .5ohms some can some cant. In my opinion i wouldn't run an amp below rated specs unless your aware of the the harm you can do and willing to live with the out come. For a daily situation you'll be far better off at 1ohm and that would be the best advice i can give you. I meant either way he wired the subs up 1600 x 2 @ 1ohm or 3200 x 1 @ 1ohm it would be the same, I didnt even answer the question about wiring it for .5 ohm load, I only did that too one amp (memphis power reference 1000.1 just to see how long it would last for and it did for almost a year) and I didnt even know thats how I let a local shop do it awhile back. Vowed to never let them do my work again, but I would never recommend anybody to run a amp below its ohm stability unless you wanna kill your amp eventually and cause a lot of strain on your electrical.

go with deka! don't go for that rebadged stuff lol!! keep the money in america! (i think deka is american made?) my buddy has a 1800hc under his hood and a 2400hc in the rear and to tell you the truth on 1200rms his volts will drop from 14.5v to 13.1 at full tilt and car at 1.5-2krpm! hope this helps with your choices
