Not from Michigan but to the forum!

You definitely don't have enough space to port that box. Build/buy a new box with more airspace.

1.55 per isn't much space, the recommended for SA12s is 1.75 after displacements and such. Smaller of course if you're wanting an spl box or want to run over rms power and it seems like you don't want to do either of those. Is the subwoofer displacement factored in to that 1.55? These subs displace approximately .15 cubic feet each, which would put it down to about 1.4 cubes each. Now 1.4 would be great for a sealed enclosure and would probably sound a bit better with your musical preference. If you are wanting to go with a ported setup, I would suggest stepping down to dual 10"s or a single 12" (you could also use less power and you would have room for an optimal enclosure if you chose to run a single 12") Btw, the SA12 has a mounting depth of 6.5", I'm not sure on the diameter of the magnets and I don't really want to dig one of my SA subs out to check right now.

This should destroy that little car.

Both way too far for me, good luck to you though sir. Congrats on your 2k

I would only do a wall if I was dead set on having a car basically dedicated to audio or shows, etc. If you are unsure about it, you probably don't want to wall it off. There will be others who will tell you to go for it. Just remember that they don't have to buy your fuel and drive your vehicle. (mpg will go to shit, car will not handle as well, ride firmness will increase, brakes will wear faster and not stop as well, shocks, struts, bushings, etc. will need replaced more often, acceleration will decrease, no more passengers/groceries, etc.) Just my $.02

You have seen SA-8s take double rms for several hours continuously?

start with the search function and get back to us

You have an older model RE SE series sub, the new ones are the X line and will be RE SEx and they use a different basket and cone. Get yourself something like this to remove the stripped screw... http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00952155000P?mv=rr If the woofer is blown, Fi can recone it or sell you a recone kit and you can diy.

4x4 animal style ftw

this makes me feel a little better about my fail a few minutes ago

Oops, I did not even see the 2nd page. Now that I've got my first fail of the day out of the way, I'm gonna go outside and play with the Judge.

Do you want to have a wall? You don't need the Kinetik charger.

what? where?

Nothing exceeds like XS!

Audiopipe? you can get the 3000d for under $300 new

You weren't bullshittin' when you picked that name. nice collection

Damn, I wouldn't think that they'd be that heavy. They must be pretty damn beasty.

Do the big 3, install the voltmeter and new battery and just keep an eye on the voltage, if it drops down too low for your liking, gain down a bit until you get the alt installed.

Your stock alt will charge it just fine. You can buy Kinetik online through several sources. Audiosavings.com is probably the cheapest. Great place to order from, I've bought several things from them. Do you have a voltmeter to keep an eye on things?

You've got room for about 8 cubes each sealed, you'll need a good bit more to compensate for the port, sub, bracing displacements not to mention the double or triple baffle.

Your battery is less than 4 inches tall?

You're going to need more space than that.

Measure the battery and battery tray/box yourself with a tape measure and start researching the different brands/sizes 'til you find one that fits your budget and space the best.
