if you had this budget....
Unless your looking to keep your 18 in a sealed box, id say go with the 2 12's.. that would be cutting it a bit low for an 18" woofer with only 5.5 cubes

So Fi BTl or Sundown SA 8s?
I guess im not the nest person to answer this considering i havent dealt with either, i just think you should do some research and decide if your looking more towards an SQ setup, or your more interested in SPL
-

Depends on what your looking for.. Are you leaning more towards SQ subs or SPL subs?

2004 Chevy Impala Build
I listen to rock, metal, techno some rap. Basically everything, thats why i wanted the Q.. because its a very accurate subwoofer, and i asked him why he recommended the BL, and he said the BL can take more abuse, he didnt want me to blow my first real subs, but i think i have enough knowledge that i wont blow them. I appreciate his opinion but im sticking with the Q's.

2004 Chevy Impala Build
Alright, iv basically all over the map trying to consider what type of subs i wanted. Iv made up my mind now and i kind of wanted to know your opinion. I was thinking about going with two Fi 12"Q's, OR two Fi 15" Q's in a ported box, running off a Crescendo BC2000D. Now in order to eliminate trunk rattle, i was told sealing it off from the trunk and firing it forward was a good idea. The only problem is that i cant fold my rear seats down, now i do have the option of buying rear folding seats for about $300. I guess i dont really have a specific question.. just tell me what you think, any improvements or different ideas you think would work best. Since im fairly new im sure your ideas are better than mine. ^^ thanks -Mike

I'm located in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. So basically anyone from Ontario in the Niagara region ill drive down for a demo. Hopefully theres at least one person! Iv never heard BTL's and im absolutely stoked

Marine AMG Battery?
Hello, iv just been looking around for a battery and oddly enough i found a marine AMG battery in my dads garage. Its a Cabela's Advanced Angler "Group Size 30" battery. Heres a link showing all of its specs. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Boating/AutoBoat-Batteries-Chargers/Marine-Deep-Cycle-Batteries|/pc/104794380/c/104698080/sc/104446080/Cabelas-Advanced-Angler-AGM-Batteries/727395.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fboating-auto-boat-batteries-chargers-marine-deep-cycle-batteries%2F_%2FN-1100564%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104446080%3FWTz_l%3DSBC%253BMMcat104794380%253Bcat104698080&WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104794380%3Bcat104698080%3Bcat104446080 Now seeing the amp rating and cold cranking amps i see no reason why this wouldnt work as a second battery seeing as im running only about 1800 watts. What do you guys think?

PG Xenon - No Gain Control
Oh... i see >.< I didnt know that input sensitivity and gain are the same thing :S.... Feel retarded now. Anyways, thanks

PG Xenon - No Gain Control
Iv recently blown my Alpine 1000.1 amplifier so i decided to replace it with an older PG Xenon 1200.1 i had lying around. I was looking at the control knobs and noticed it only has a Bass boost option, but no gain setting. Iv looked it up and its a bass boost knob for 45hz, 0-18db. I was just curious how i would go along setting this boost without a gain setting as well. Also, how should i set my deck settings along with this? I'm running 2 Alpine Type X 10" subwoofers in a ported box if that helps. Thanks -Mike

Alright. Well, should I get my alternator first. Or should I get my battery?
-
Electrical Upgrades for Around 3000watts
Ok so you suggest the battery before the high output alternator.. Thanks

Electrical Upgrades for Around 3000watts

Electrical Upgrades for Around 3000watts
Now that iv figured out an AudioQue 2200D would be a great choice for my Fi BTL N2, along with my Phoenix Gold 500.4 for my component speakers, i was just wondering what kind of electrical upgrades i would need to support this. (~2700watts). Iv read up on what is needed and im seeing a few mixed results. This is what im thinking: Big 3 240 Amp Alternator Kinetik 2400 Now the kinetik would be replacing my stock battery instead of running my stock and the kinetik. If anyone thinks thats not enough, or i should keep my stock battery or any other ideas it would be a great help.

Hifonics, Hfi or Brutus series?
Alright. Well I'll take a look at buying an audioque then
