.93?

Coolio. Good luck with the jeep box next week.

Trunk looks pretty now. Good work!

The name of your infinitely baffled ride makes me infinitely hungry.... Lookin' good... And tasty...

It's your sig broha. I'm pretty sure you can add the results of any competition you've been in. I think I might add the pie-eating contest results from my county fair last summer... I beasted it up. Good luck with your build.

Put in your max dimensions and see what that gets you, then go from there.

How come all the burp boxes I see have aeros on the outside, never slot ports or internal aeros? Is it just for ease of port length adjustments or something else? Good luck with future testing!

This build scares me. A lot. But that's a good thing!

Impedence rise thread in Sundown Technical saved me! I cannot count on impedence rise because I will be using the same set up for daily, in which case I may even see impedence drop! Saved my butt a load of stress! 1.33 it is then!

This might have just saved me a lot of stress. Excellent info!

Beat me to it!

The craigslist deal looks sweet, but if it doesn't look like it is going anywhere fast, then build a box for your 1 18 for now and see how you like it. The BTL's are beasts, and you may find that one is enough! Who knows? That way, if you are satisfied with what you have, you say almost $400 bucks! Then you could go ahead and buy that 3500d for just the one BTL! Who knows? Good luck with the install either way!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: I got the whole theater watching this install!

Can't. 0-600 watts rms at 4 ohms, (which the amp fits in), but then I have to include the HU's power as well because it runs the el-cheapo pioneers I have in the doors. ^^^^^^^ 600 is the 4 ohm power of the 2500, right? Either way, comp gurus, please throw in some input as well. Thanks for the clarification Jay-cee. I am new to competing, but hey, I want to win! We all do, but I guess if there is things like this that I can do that could help a bit, I'll do it. From what I have heard on this thread, .67 is safe for the amps, but I also understand it is not covered by the warranty. I guess I would be willing to take my chances with that as I will have a solid electrical system before I have a more powerful amp, but if there are major problems that are not only possible but likely, I would definitely want to know. You know you are on a great forum when everyone wants what is best for your equipment!

Yeah, I will be looking for a used one. Jay-cee, I see your point and value your input. Can you clarify what you mean by getting more power for the amp to be run at where it should be?

Gosh... Great arguments for both sides of the issue... The only reason I couldn't go with a larger amp is because I have to stay under 600 watts RMS at 4 ohms and they count the HU's power if it is running any speakers... 2000d biggest I can go

Electrical first, new amp second of course! I haven't pulled the trigger yet, so anyone feel free to add info to this thread!

In your first post you talked about how the sub would be seeing high volumes, which usually sends up a red flag for the SQ people... I guess someone like M5 would have to step in and clarify, but as far as I understand, SQ and high volume do not go hand in hand. I think that the afore mentioned BL would be a good choice and the SSD would be fine if you want to save some money.

I understand this, but if it only increases 1 db, it is still an increase. Not an audible one, and maybe not worth it any other time, but it could be worth it in a competition senario, correct? However, if it really would be a problem even after impedence rise and couldn't possible help at all, then I will not do it.

Then it's decided. When I got the dead presidents, I'm going with D4s. Thanks again everybody.

All I gotta say is... wow... This is pretty, er, unique?

Good luck at SBN! Please post team results on here when they are available!

Certain comp. restrictions require me to use 12v batts, so as long as I can go at .67 safely, I will. Does everything under 1 ohm void the warranty? As I said before, I had asked Jacob about .7 awhile back and he said it would be fine, but not if it would void the warranty or not.

Yup, that's that frost off thing I was talking about before. I hope I can go.

why are you at the airport weekly? work? i would hate to be on a plane once a week. Yep, in San Jose right now dang, what kind of a job requires you to be traveling so much? must like a CEO or sumthin... lol i just got back from a weekend in cali myslef, i usually go to san diego though...
