Whole lot of WIN goin on here!

LOL, I keep gettin took for the okie doke.

No. If you can find an old case grey one and have the electrical to support it then maybe. The new black ones have a beefier protection circuit that trips below 2 ohms bridged. Now obviously you can run 1 ohm per channel stereo for 1500 x 2 @ 1 ohm per channel, but as far as 3000 x 1 bridged it must be 2 ohms. Hope this helps.

This may be off topic, but could an SA-15 still hit decent lows in a box 2.8^3 tuned at 36Hz? I see you recomend tuning at 35Hz was just curious how low it got tuned that high. Alot of people claim that the AQ subs can still get low at that tuning but I have yet to hear it personally, they always sound kinda hollow. That box would work fine for an SA-15. Honestly... the AQ / DD design philosophy isn't targeted at super low bass. Extension to 40 Hz should be no issue but expect output to diminish under -- not to say they won't reproduce low bass but a softer driver will do it better. Thanks Jacob. I really appreciate how you take time out to answer questions for us.

Awsome bro. Always wondered why you had that mask on in your avatar. All makes sense now. Looks like alot of fun.

Definately the NS if you want SPL. Your in B-Town? You should come to the Tampa Show on the 12th. University Mall Firestone Store off Fowler Ave.

I would say grab a set of these: http://www.crescendoaudio.com/product.php?productid=17514&cat=0&page=0&featured=Y and a set of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270572879734&crlp=1_263602_263622&ff4=263602_263622&viewitem=&guid=21c03d6f1280a0265387a847ffff3197&rvr_id=133107488695&ua=%3F*I8&itemid=270572879734 Would sound a hell of alot better than any 6x9's imo. And the CCX65's are only $100 shipped. I love mine, they sound great and take the 320 rms I'm throwin at them no sweat. Get loud and sound great doing it.

More cone area and more power usually = louder, but everything is install dependent. And btw you could get an AP30001D for $310 shipped if you did the 2 15's. Be a hell of alot cheaper than that HiFonics. I think if you did a good enclosureand got a D1 fully loade BTL 18 and put it on the AP30001D it would be brutal and be the cheapest option. Just my $.02. http://vminnovations.com/product_2382/AUDIOPIPE_Mono_Class_D_3000W_Amplifier.html

Do work bro! Can't wait to see the finished product. You Texas boys do some nice builds!

Supposedly the 2010 models are CEA certified. Decent budget amps for sure, but just cost more than I'm willing to spend for a low end amp. If you want a solid budget amp that does rated power look into the Audiopipe AP series amps. They have class d amps in a variety of power levels. AP4001D AP8001D AP10001D AP15001D (I use this one and love it!) AP18001D AP30001D (which is actually 2 AP15001Ds strapped internally, basically a 2 channel amp that does 1500 x 2 at 1 ohm stereo or 3000 x 1 at 2 ohms bridged) Check here for pricing (authorized internet dealer = legit manufacturer warranty) http://vminnovations.com/Browse_68/Amplifiers.html?sort=&show=12&page=1&manuf=114 Hope this helps.

Haven't checked in for a while. Looking great. Yall do amazing work. Such attention to detail. I just don't have the patience for such in depth work. Props.

pucking INSANE flex bro. Nice setup fa sho!

Oh yeah and the AQX2500.1 makes power at 13.8 !

Thanks guys. I'm lookin to do 4 in 2.4^3 net tuned @ 32Hz subs up port back in the trunk of my 03 Mazda Protege. Port will be kerfed and be along the bottom of the box. Like this, but obviously much smaller: Lookin like it's going to be a new Audiopipe AQX2500.1 for power. Not bad for $330 shipped brand new.

So my car has been dieing after sitting overnight. It won't start in the morning. I have been leaving it on the charger overnight. I have an Optima Red Top under the hood and a 55ah SR12-205FR Super Rate Series in the trunk. I took the trunk batt out at Autozone and the guy tried to test it and said it was at 10.xx volts and he couldn't run the test with it that low. He said that I have to do a trickle charge on this batt, it can't be charged with a regular charge. Is this true? Then we tested the red top (with the trunk batt still disconected) and it was resting at 12.41 volts and read as a bad batt. The Autozone guy said it should be around 12.45 volts and I should trickle charge it as well before replacing it. Will .04 volts seriously make a batt read bad? I don't think so. Should I just replace the red top and see if it fixes it? What do yall think? Any info provided is much appreciated. Thanks.

Can't believe I missed this thread. Just read up on the whole thing. Awsome work bro! Build looks great. I love these 8's. Can't wait for income tax so I can order mine. Definately tuned in for the vid. BTW, those are some badass rims you got there.

So you 86ed the Mustang?

Cool, thanks for the reply. Got any vids?

Fi: Looks to me like Fi recomends 2000 and under. Reading is a wonderful thing.

So let me get this right.... Your actually buying the BL series instead of the BTL series just so you could run your subs over their rms rating? Either buy the BTL series and run the 4K amp or buy the BL series, sell the 4K and buy a solid 2K (AQ2200D would be a great choice). Just my $.02. As stated above, if you have to ask how much power they can take then the answer is rms.

Two of these ought to do just fine (and cost a HELL of alot less than the XS). Deka Intimidator 9A31 Battery

Thanks for the response Jacob. Was considering doing 3K to the 4 but thought it might be overkill and maybe I could get what I was lookin for with just the 1500. I think I will plan for the 1500 and if needed I can always upgrade later. Thanks.
