Just for the record, I'm not in any way, shape, or form pushing a sundown amp or even mine for that matter. Using 1200watts or 1500watts isn't going to be an audible difference, But there's no harm in buying a bigger amp if it's cheaper and does everything you want it to do. So I was just throwing the option out there for the OP.

Design looks awesome, looking forward to seeing this build progress.

40/13"? Can you repost that dimension please. I doubt your going to want to build your box inside the trunk. So what's your trunk opening dimensions

I completely understand your goals man, you want a loud daily driver. The BTL is the perfect choice. But there's limitations to everything, one being space, another being your budget. For example: two 12" btls on around 4kw with a proper box should be louder then a single 15" btl on 2kw of power. But can you afford two btls instead of one? Do you have the room for the proper enclosure? Do you have the room for the battery bank? Can you afford a h/o alt? This is where a budget comes into play, saying your going to upgrade down the road doesn't work help this situation. Even two 12" BLs on say 2kw should get louder then a 15" BTL on 2kw. BLs are certainly cheaper, but a single driver is cheapest. any large driver in a illsized enclosure will lack in output verse a smaller driver in an optimal enclosure. My point is there are tons of options and ways to get loud, but you need to give us more information so we can help give you a better educated answer.

96 Integra gsr not sure what I have to work with, But I can take out the false floor and add alot more room Well take some pictures and dimensions tomorrow and post back

Double Post FTW, This is a possibility: ICON 15" 4cuft enclosur design

I think bromo does free enclosure designs. or did heh What vehicle is this going in? What dimensions do you have to work with? There's several driver and port placement combinations, depending on your vehicle one may work better then another.

Can you try and make more sense when you type? Saying you want it loud cuz u liek loud deep clean bass doesn't mean anything. Post the dimensions I asked for, What's your overall budget for sub, enclosure (you building it? or having it made), amp, battery(s)?

I don't understand what your saying, sorry I wouldn't attempt to put an 18" in a trunk car. Likely better off with a 15". But I'm just going off vague generalizations here. Whats your trunk opening dimensions? Whats the inside trunk dimensions? And for the record your goal is to get louder then your friends setup, so lets take a guess at how much power hes using? Does he have an aftermarket high output alternator? Does he have any additional batteries besides the starting battery?

As Jay-cee also said, get a dual 2 ohm driver and wire it as the picture is. Then when you get your 1200d you can rewire the sub down to 1ohm...

This will just be a temporary setup until i build a new box and get a new amp. I just want to make sure it will be safe for the sub until then What Jay-cee is suggesting is correct about 40hz tuning for a daily box = bad idea. Tuning that high is for fart boxes. But as you stated this is just temp. As long as your ssf is set correctly then you can at least use the box for the time being (may not be great but hey)

Are you planning on getting another driver in the future? Is the crossfire vr602 a temp amp or permanent amp? Is the crossfire amp 1ohm or 2ohm stable? If your getting a newer amp, is it 1ohm or 2ohm stable? And what do you mean by "wire this" How do you connect the driver to the amp?

the port wall pretty much just goes back and ends 13 1/8" deep inside the box. Then your enclosure is tuned around 41hz, which isn't surprising for a prefab... That will still be ok for now for the ssd 15 correct? Yep. Just turn your ssf up to around 38hz on your amplifier.

Thanks man. I'm not sure where to turn right now as far as that goes. Driving my car and listening to music was just so therapeutic for me. Unfortunately, I've been having more frequent panic attacks since the accident. Mainly because I know I can't just walk outside and go for a ride to calm down. I have a doctors appointment scheduled for tomorrow along with a USAA insurance meeting. The claim adjuster is coming out to me with a lawyer to discuss the situation. I'm blaming the apartment complex 100% for their negligence. I've done a couple over the phone consultations with local law firms and they have all told me I have a pretty good case here. I really hope that is the case. I've had a couple people tell me it's all my fault because my 22s aren't road safe, which doesn't make sense to me especially with brand new Z rated Falkens tires on them. I have PLENTY of traction along with traction control in the vehicle. Some people just don't understand the power of a little ice on the road. They may try and use that against your case, that such large rims aren't road safe, in that case just state how long you've been driving with large rims and haven't had any accidents. Hope everything gets sorted out for ya!

Does your port curve at the end, like an "L" or is it straight back and then stops? If it just stops and your saying the length is 13 1/8" and your box volume is around 4cubes, then your box is tuned somewhere around 41hz

Yeah congratz to all ya

I got a used sundown 1500d I'll sell ya, say 250shipped...

X2. OP, you are the reason people don't like the world of car audio. There's a time and place for everything, be considerate of others...

can you say recones?

we are giving the XCON's away! Just another reason ssa is Awesome!

That is awesome looking. For anyone else interested in this as much as me, here's the website link: don't click here, click here.

but but but I need my drivers for turkey day!?!!? Have a good holiday Jacob and the rest of the crew.

but he is in Germany and it's being shipped to Bulgaria. wtf are they gonna do

Fiberglassing the outside may strengthen it a little but internal bracing will do way more. But it'll look snazzy with the fiberglass Won't effect sound.
