ppl run this amp at .5 all the time daily, and some drop it even lower with proper electrical.... but okay i see what youre saying. prior to the recones the subs were dual .7s....im gonna guess those are dual 1s?

well my recones from Fi came and they were supposed to be dual 2s....so i could run my ab 500.1 at .5ohm....but the coils read 1.5....which means i have to run my amp at .35.....not very good..... just curious as to why they arent actual dual 2s

hmmmm im in kind of the same situation....if my recones dont come tomorrow im gonna have the shop i ordered through call scott.

maybe at sbn someone would like to help me with that then (i will be there, i live half hour from daytona)

ok..... so i have 2 15" Fi BTLs in a 2006 maxima.....AB 500.1 for power....my electrical system has a 200A Alt, 2 2400's and a 1400 kinetik under the hood... i recently put in an alpine 9887 and since then my output went WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYy down. i readjusted the gains just now with a voltmeter, around 70V.....and it barely hits, ive got the setting on the HU MX 3...sub level 15 eq on the low bands +6 and it barely hits.... i checked the ohms with the DMM by turning off car and putting it on the speaker wire to amp....it showed .8-1....... really, my old setup with 2 12" mags + sundown 1500 hit harder then this. its like playing stock subs......any ideas what is wrong here?!!!

just be careful with that much power and that low is what i was told.....

I need help deciding which amp i should get... i used to run the soundstream xxx6500 (which ive been told only does about 2700 @ 12v and 1ohm) on my 2 15" BTLs (dual .7) but i broke my box.... so next week they are completely redoing it to make it much stronger. but since im redoing that, im going to just uppppp the power. the sounstream is sold.... now for my amp choices i can either get: (2) opti4000ds and run them at 2ohm....doing right about 3000rms per sub (which was my goal) i know this amp is JUST like the SS, but its regulated so it should do more power on 12v as opposed to the SS. or i can get (1) AB500.1 which will do about 4700rms and costs about $200 less. then there were 2 massive p3000.1's but these were the most expensive. about 975shipped for the pair. i play my music daily and i like to play for long periods of time, and im thinking 3000rms per sub might be a tad too much..... so im asking....is the extra $200 bucks worth it for the extra 1000rms??? thanks in advance!!!

nvm i talked to him.

ohhh hmmm i have to find out what this kid has, i know hes got some $$$$, shocked to see another kid in my city even have an idea what Fi is.

hmmm on my way home i saw this focus hatchback with a huge FI AUDIO sticker on the entire rear windshield. its a 2dr hatchback, white with blue graphics and blue rims, + lambo doors. i know he used to have like 4 15" power acoustics and everyone said it sounded terrible..... now hes running FI im guessing, wonder what he has....? is he possibly sponsored by Fi??? palm coast FL btw.

damn that was nice.

1 1500D @ .75 on 1 hd3 15" gets real loud. (set that up for a kid at my school in a focus hatchback)

dang i guess that means i could have sold mine for more then 400 a piece. oh well. go get a couple BL's and you should be alright, cheaper too IIRC.

so my friend tells me this idea, and i became interested and want to know some opinions. if its a good idea i may just go with this over a 4th order bandpass through armrest.... he says "Alright plan on re-building the box and I may try this. Remember my trunk is extremely sealed off, I have computers and what not all on behind the rear seat and with the panel off it doesn't let much air intot he car. Anyways, I want to face the subs the same way, towards the back and have the port facing up and into the car. It would be built so the port goes directly into the rear deck. How you guys think that will work? " 727kid on here, 2 12" BLs and 2 sundown 1500d's BTW.

oh yea they are.... its 14,800 something -250 deductible that we pay. and the other about 14500 insurance covers. and it sucks but i think we have to cover hers also, and her little hyundai had 13K in damage, yep that car is probaby barely worth that on a good day.
