Quit drinking and driving before you kill someone

Here hand grenades mean mickeys malt beverage

So do I.

In-n-Out What the hell is that? I don't have those here. Best fast food burger joint on the planet http://www.in-n-out.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-N-Out_Burger They used to cut the potato and fry it fresh right in front of you. Aside from some of my friends and the GF's family, In-N-Out is the inly thing I miss about Arizona. Hell In-N-Out was one of the perks of going out for a night on the town in Tucson. J i feel the same about SoCal... well the weather was nice... cheap cocaine... beautiful women... Nevermind.

How many of you are old enough to remember Bloom County? I never got into comics, but something about Opus, Wild Bill, Milo, and Steve always made me laugh. Berkeley Breathed decided to revive the stip after 25 years of absence... Comic gold, I tell you.

Time to upgrade the front stage now, haha. Good shit though man

I have an intense fear of heights myself. No fear of flying though.

That person is an idiot, stop listening to him. So you like loud and peaky and something that is much less loud and flat response at the same time. Or perhaps you just don't understand either of the opposites. You can but it makes no sense and won't help you at all. Back to liking the FR thing....obviously you don't. He has A LOT to learn. Seriously, just run one amp. You never once referenced a meter in your posts so chasing less than audible sound differences is pointless. You have to double the power to hear a difference. Running a second amp won't do that for you as between reaching the thermal & mechanical limits of the driver and power compression will stop that cold in its tracks. The 2nd amp is a waste of money, don't buy it, don't use it and don't invest in the necessary electrical to add it as what you propose is literally akin to flushing money down the toilet. I would also be vary wary of any other advice said friend is giving you as obviously he is a complete noob and infatuated with all of the wrong aspects of audio. Headroom is important, but this is a sub that is going to play the very smallest of regions in the audio spectrum where your ear is super inefficient at hearing distortion or anomalies. Terrible place to spend extra money for no reason. Put that budget you were about to waste to good use and spend it ALL on your front stage. It will make a monstrous difference.

You could run a smaller box and more power if you were dead set on it. You likely won't see much gain in output and you will be stressing your equipment in the process. This game is full of trade-offs, just need to figure out where your priorities lie.

1700 watts sealed, then 1900 watts ported(2 different amps) on my single xcon 15 was pretty fun. 1 2500 on 2 12" should be nice? You should tell your friend that he gets to replace stuff when it breaks.

Well, I originally had just 1 2500d but the person whom is helping me with the install said that I should get another. He informed me that is better to have more power on tap than is needed and typically better to have double the power that is needed for the subs in any particular amp so that the amp does not have to work as hard. I personally don't care what they are ran at as long as it is loud and clean (I think he advised running them down at .5 b/c thats the only way i could wire them in which each amp would support.) I think i can also wire each sub to each amp at 2 ohms as well (which is 1700wrms). They are going in my 2006 Honda Accord EXL Coupe v6 We are planning on building a box that is around 5 cu ft w/ a 8" aero port Electrical: Under hood - Kinetik 1200 (40ah) Big 3 (All 0 Gauge OFC - 400 amp fuse) Singer 240 Amp HO Alt 2 Runs of 0 Gauge OFC + Back - 2 Kinetik 3800 (270ah) fyi - also running 16 speakers (8 mids, 8 tweets) off of 2 Orion 4002 amps Hope that helps to clarify a few things. Now we are getting somewhere. Electrical seems pretty decent for what you would like to run. Building a box on the larger side of the recommended size would allow you to use one amp and still let the subs stretch their legs. Both amps at half ohm would be hard on the alt and batteries and probably a little silly, but that's just me.

For what it's worth, I killed an xcon on ~1700 watts. It was my own fault, but it just shows what user error can do at rated power, let alone nearly double that.
