Agreed, sticky this post!

Im pretty excited to see how these turn out!

Rebuilding engines and rebuilding subs are two things im pretty good at... and they are nothing alike

Takin' notes, notes, and more notes... =D

Made in the usa means exactly that... it was assembled in usa, but most companies do buy their soft parts from another country (I.e. China, Japan, etc.)

That is very true, do you know anyone off the top of your head? Or should I create a post in the enclosure thread?

I think im going to save and get 2 IA death penalty 12's, and make a box that is a somewhat of a blowthrough through the ski hole... hefty price, but im sure it will be worth it

My old setup was sub up, port back, and it seemed to be pretty loud and the port was directed towards the ski hole, do you think I could get a better result from replacing the rear deck?

So, i prefer a single sub setup, and I plan on not using my trunk for anything else, I wouldn't mind doing a port through the top deck, but im not sure how I would do that... im wanting a 15', just not sure how to do it, any advice for a port through the rear deck?

Well there is a ski hole that I removed the sheet metal, and I got a very noticeable increase by doing that, but still im willing to do more to get as high of numbers as possible.

Its a 2000 328I (Check signature)

My goal is indeed spl, I enjoy loud clean music, but there is a fine line. Ultimately, I want a sub that can be really loud and hit hard at high volumes, but sound clean at lower volumes, I plan on going to comps and competing, but I also want a good daily driver... I haven't yet sat in a system that hurts my ears, even a 153.2 db didn't hurt, I want something that will be loud. But achieving over 150 in a trunk with a single sub without folding down seats is nearly impossible

I just sold my SA-12, and i'm currently looking for a new sub, I have a couple ideas. I want a 12' or a 15', i've been looking at several 15's, and i have about $600 to spend on it, i was powering my SA-12 with a Hifonics BRZ2100.1D. I want my next sub to be able to take that with ease. I've been looking at an Fi: BTL N2, Xcon 15' or 12', IA Death Penalty 12' or 15', or maybe even a warden 12' or 15'. I'm really just looking for a sub that will hit harder than my SA-12, its in the trunk of a hemetically sealed bmw, so it has to be loud in order for the sound to carry to the cabin because 80% of the sound stays inside of the trunk point is, I'm willing and open to all suggestions. Thanks in advance for replies! Jake.

Tuned in for more info...

I do know quite a bit about car audio. But when it comes to speakers and the stats and specs and details... Im pretty much lost... I spend most of my time reading this forum throughout my day thanks to the new mobile version.... but im still kind of lost, however if I did/could hang with jake for a day, I would not pass it up, that's for sure. But who knows... maybe it will happen sooner than I expect.
