Well starting on getting all the electrical into the truck before May, since in May Im going to meet up with my brothers in Cali to build an install the box there, just a couple of updates. 100ft of 0/1 , its going to be six runs of positive from 4 batteries. a bunch of connectors volt meter and a crimper The two T40001's . I know they dont look all that big in the pic but these things are huge I was lucky to be able to fit them both.

Well getting closer to having all my stuff together just got my new mids and highs amps T1000-4 1411 watts total not to bad.... Couldn't help hooking up just to see the lights light up,, i got to say Rockford makes some of the best looking amps

4 15 DC XL's 2 T40001's

Thanks bro, you know there not that loud, Ive ran some diamond Hex's before and those where louder but the JBL's are alot better on the mid Bass.

Thanks bro appreciate it Thanks, ya i hope the new box comes out just as nice

Just got these from Rusty, Time to start cutting up the truck again. DC 15" lvl 4's xl's Next to a 10" RE SE. huge motors compered to a SE Loven the double wires

Well its a done deal got off the phone with Rusty and he gave me a great deal on some 4 DC level4 xl 15"s. Great guy to deal with even helped me with a new box design. Since im trying to get all th SQ i can from them Its going to be a 15sq ft box tuned to 30hz. I'll take some pics when they get here.

Those are nice, but i wonder what it would do to the sound of the sub.

Thanks, yea i'll get some more pic's on here once i order in my subs thanks man

Yea me to, Im still looking at what subs i should get. we'll see what i end up running Thanks bro

Well now I better find some subs that can take 2300watts ea I lucked out, both of them are putting out the same amount at 1 ohm

Yea as hot as class AB amps get i really doubt that thing would last to long trying to put out 4000 watts so i had to bump it, but it is a nice little amp

heres a pic of my old one and just for kicks a pic of my two 2000X's

I had one , it was alright but it doesnt put out 4000wrms for a long time, those caps will start discharging really quick. All the info i looked up on that amp was it was a economical amp made for competition ,where someone who didnt need to run it hard all day. The heat sink on it is really small, its almost half the size of my 2000x. and all the write ups i found on the amp said it did 3700wrms @ 12v. After i got all that info on it i ended up just running two 2000x's. I paid like 400 bucks for that 4000X and ended up getting 820 off eday. Hope some of this info helps

wow here we go.......

Even if i dont win if i can get a good deal on the stuff that so i can do the whole truck that would be great, I got nothing in it right now and i hit 148.3 it would be cool to see what the gains are just droping in this stuff in.

so the Xcon will take 3000 Watts RMS?

If you want it for music which of the two would be better?

Here's a link on how i did mine,,4 15" it might give you an idea of how to do it. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31778-08-dodge-ram-2500-mega-diesel/

there clean, strong mid bass, but there power hungry they need atleast 100watts

Thanks ,, I might pull out the box and do some changes to the subs and box soon so then I'll take some pics. Here are some vide's A vid with the old set up on only one amp

Sorry i just really dont see what you mean. fact is i dont know much about how is a sub is built so thats why i asked, if it cant be done then cool I'll move on to an other plan. i would say its more like asking the dealer what can be done with the car before i drive it off the lot. Personally to me it wouldnt matter what sub it is thats why i worte what im trying to get which is a nice soundsing sub that can take 2500 watts. Ask yourself this...do you need to run that much power or is there any reason that you should need to run that much power? Or should you probably follow what is suggested and recommended...so let's look at a scenario. You purchase a car..from a dealer. They assume the following: A) You can read as you probably read the gas mileage, warranty information, etc. B) They do not care if you can read or not...you signed and/or clicked the "I agree to the terms and conditions" without even reading them..so if you do manage to break it it is your fault because you did not read the warranty that you signed away that you read. If you do blow the car up the manufacturer/dealer is completely off the hook due to your signature. You purchased a car to go 70mph on the interstate in 5th gear to cruise daily for 300,000 miles..because it should be known that is why there is a 5th gear to travel at that speed. Or you can buy the very same car, attempt to take it 70mph on the interstate in 1st gear at 6500rpm depending on gearing of course..and you might make it 3 miles before the engine grenades. The dealer did not say that you couldn't do that..but it is recommended that you do not. Resulting in the 'abuse' clause in the warranty..because you abused it. Any idiot knows that you can't drive down the interstate in 1st gear and expect a car to last...speakers being mechanical devices are simply no different then the car. Case in point..you don't need that kind of power. Nor should you run a car in 1st gear down the interstate...if you want it to last anyhow. WOW Alright this Topic is getting a little out of hand, just to clear it up I was asking if a Q can be BUILT to handle that kind of power like a Quad coil deal , thats it really never said anything out just running one off the self. Now that i see it cant then cool I'll look into other options its no big deal . Which is why I explained the scenario more in depth..and why it can not be done because it isn't designed to do that. If you only need to run 1000 watts..1200 at most...why do you feel the need to run more power? If you feel the need to run gobs of power a Q is not for you...which has been said. Speakers (specifically subwoofers) are at most 1% efficient in converting watts electric into watts acoustic..so the other 99% of the energy that you are putting into that coil is burned off as you guessed it..heat. Which is why cooling technology is so important. But all the cooling and machining inside of the motor can only do so much to keep the coil from failing thermally.. Like i said ,, It cant be done which is cool no big deal I'll move on to somthing else its all good...

Thats not really what i want for my truck ,, I like it tuned down low I don't think you understood my post. Build two different boxes, or else use interchangeable ports. That way you can tune it higher for comps, then back down low for everyday driving. I know what your saying but I want to hit 150 tuned down to blow 35 hz, Im even hoping when i up the power i can hit 150's tuned even lower, I built the truck for music so to me thats where i have fun with it. Ive seen the trucks at the shows hit 150 ,155 at like 52hz but its just not the same.

Thanks I put weather stripping like whts used in car doors around the tunnel that goes from the cab to the bed then the way the box is build at an angle where the wheel wells are , they put that 300lb box to squezz it tight.
