Post a new thread for an enclosure quote / build.

Is this for some btls?

Couldn't of said it any better. What coil config are the drivers? As long as you can wire the subs together to 1ohm then strap them.

When they were blowing on it? Biology 101 We inhale Oxygen and Exhale Carbon Dioxide. You're joking right? If they blow from that kind of distance it will get more oxygen then Carbon dioxide. Nobody was smart enough to pop the hood and disconnect power wires? and then put water on it? He's gotcha there Tirefryr

Could you elaborate?

You don't buy a car and ask the salesman to teach you how to drive. Fi can tell you what volume and tuning for an enclosure to use, but they don't know every vehicles cabin dimensions, nor should they. You buy their product along with technical specs as far as enclosure volume and tuning for daily, then make a separate post in spl / sql fabrication for help on the actual box design and your vehicles inside measurements, then everyone else can chime in and help.

Firstly, Your box is awesome. Love the colors and plexi. Secondly, I love the dustcaps on smaller sized drivers, gives it a beefy look. And thirdly, I love the false panel and amp rack fuse holder side.

Doing a ported enclosure would give you a bit more output, which would be nice since your using low power relatively I'd tune around 30hz-33hz, this would give you a nice increase in output compared to a sealed box, yet still be able to play all music. The dcons are rated at 300watts a piece, so depending on the coil config, you could run your amp at 1ohm or 2ohm, and in essence give each driver 500watts or 375watts. I've never done any testing with a dcon so I can't say whether or not it would take 500watts. Someone else will have to chime in on that. ^This would give you the cone area advantage like Aaron said above. Now on the other hand, you could use a smaller box and go with an Icon on 1000watts. I've personally owned a pair of 12" Icons and absolutely loved them. I recently heard a single 12" Icon in a trunk car and it was loud surprisingly loud considering I currently run an 18" driver Reason I haven't mentioned anything about the Fi products is I haven't actually tested the Qs or Xs. Now if you ask me about the BL line... And the decision grows harder...

I was expecting a big black... Incriminator driver!

So your driver is Dual 1ohm. You can wire it to 0.5ohm (not recommended) or 2ohms. Wiring Diagram You can always get an amp stable to 1ohm for future use. Say in the future you get another dual 1ohm driver, then you can run the amp down to 1ohm.

SMD's can't even take 3k lol. They can't even take 3 watts But they sure are peeerdy

Setting gain varies from setup to another. Not all headunits have the some pre-out voltage, nor does everyone have the same max volume, otherwise there wouldn't be a gain. ex: I could have the gain on my amp maxed out yet never clip the signal but because I only turn my volume knob on my headunit to 5. But you on the otherhand, could have your gain in 12' position and volume at 25 and clip the signal. It all depends on your headunit AND how you set everything.

lol. Fail on the amp and fail for not having a shirt

RCAs and remote wire is cheap to begin with. Why not spend an extra five bucks and have decent wire. Stating your stuff is "cheap off brand wire and rca" doesn't give us any idea what it actually is Now you don't need the fancy gold tipped ends for "better connectivity", but you may not want the cheapest wire for your signal either...

Then why bother asking if you already know what your gonna do? Anyhow it's looks awful perdy compared to welding cable

Basically I want to know why people look to see what feq. they're car peaks at and how that would be useful in my situation. For example, air force ones- by Jeezy gets really loud. So say I figure out what freq. that bassline plays at, could that be any use to mean as far as port tuning goes? People that find their RF use it for competing. For fart boxes. Your wasting your time. If you want more output, tune higher and lose on the low end. Or buy another driver and or run more power (within drivers rms...)

never used kicker wire before, but I use 0gauge from weldingsupply.com and it's awesome. It's a little cheaper then "car audio" wire but it's exactly the same. Pure copper, fast shipping, what's not to love

We don't know what you're talking about.

Impressive, any time on the TL yet?

Both of these are untrue. They are not made for fart boxes in the least, they are just cheaper form of DD. And as long as the box is correct, the AQ's can get just as low as the DD's in every way. And I would dare say if you got the Aluminum coil AQ's, they would take much more abuse then the DC Lv4s would. dun dun dun! Haven't played with either drivers, no input from me.

That has long been taken care of, and it was essentially one or two people that made a huge stink that could have handled it much better. Many people like to whine and bitch and bash. Good to hear, to be honest I just googled Leviathan to find some reviews and found that. Didn't even look for the date that was posted But everything I've read on SSA, people love the amp. To the OP, if your still torn between both amps, it wouldn't hurt to check the build logs and find a couple people with the amps and pm them about it

Not trying to steer you away from Zed, but may wanna give this a read: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/member-product-reviews/68939-where-zed-leviathan-kronos-reviews.html First batch had a couple issues with pop noises and protect, but they got that fixed and everyone seems to love theirs.

Sealed enclosures aren't bad, but doing a "big build" is generally done in order to get loud. Typically ported enclosures are louder to begin with, so why spend more money on more drivers when you can simply port the enclosure and gain dbs.

Problem solved! I unplugged it and plugged it back in numerous times, each time til it clicked and still nothing. Tried one last time after being pissed off and pushed as hard as I could, and now it works
