Box Question For 4 10's
2.0 seems to share architecture from the 80's block that was re-used for the neon etc.. Alternator location blows... I haven't even looked to see where it is on the 2.4L that I have.

Something really bad happened, help please
Recone the sub, should fix the problem... I am guessing the subs have been pushed much harder before and just happened to be a coincidence when the one sub chose to fail. Just curious, what voltage does your battery/charging system maintain when "daily bumping?"

Need my SA8's to beat a pair of 10's
Looking for pure spl, not worried about the musicality of them? I've been out of the game for a couple years, but I'd look for something efficient, with a decent xmax and the thermal capacity to handle ~1200 watts rms... 10" Icon dual 1 ohm coils for a final impedance of 1 ohm... on that amp should be a good start. I've always wanted to play with Icon's, they are built well. I will have to let some of the other members with more experience guide you in the box design, I wish I had more time and still had all of my notes from street A, i'd be able to help you more expediently.

Whats wrong with my AQ1200???
It would have helped if I saw all of the posts before responding, I read through page 3 and thought that I had read them all, missed the pics... Yea the 50 amp 32v fuse could have been the culprit, but I suspect that the resistor failed prior to that incident, and was just perpetuated by new fuses and the excess of current allowed by the 50a/32v fuse.

Oh and if you have a remote gain, disconnect them... They are prone to failure and are crap... Just my opinion.

Whats wrong with my AQ1200???
Quick checks... Disconnect your sub from amp... Will the amp power on? Check for voltage at amp If it won't power on. Replace fuses in amp... will amp power on? Check wiring at any point where it passes through metal ( from battery through bulkehead) What else are you running? Amp for highs/mids? If you just start burning fuses, it leads me to believe either the amp had an internal failure, your battery was at a low voltage, causing a higher current draw than normal, or that a short has been introduced into the electrical circuit.

Need my SA8's to beat a pair of 10's
I am just having a hard time seeing 8's burping that low without damage... I Love 8" subs don't get me wrong, but you are facing some major disadvantages, and I've got experience doing street A trunk (old street A)... That being said, it isn't impossible... A well designed and built box, something that would prevent the subs from unloading while maintaining maximum output.... One thing that really hurts you is that being a trunk car, you're cars resonant frequency will likely be in the 48-60hz range... Meaning you won't gain any easy output that route. If it were me, I'd do the 8's and maybe a 4" aero-port all firing Forwayd, Port on drivers side would be where I would start. SPL is a funny game though, it requires a lot of testing and changing before you ever get a set up that really puts up numbers, and there is always room for improvement. Aeroport calculator can be found here= http://www.psp-inc.com/tools.html

Welcome to the IHoP
It's a Junction box (well technically that's a back panel) for part of a Steam Generator.... I work for a supplier for General Electric, Altair and a few other companies, My job is an assembler. I take GE engineers drawings and make them a reality (or technically any customer's engineers). I'm not entirely at liberty to disclose everything due to copyrights, trade secrets etc... But I thought you guys would enjoy what my passion for car audio has me doing now, wiring and building... I also have the luxury of having a full wood shop in house as well, and a master carpenter who has been teaching me tricks when I have the time to learn. For example, today I crated (built the crates as well): And shipped 80 hoists and parts kits that go with wind generator towers to Shanghai China.

SSA's Evil SS Camaro. 4 Evil 15s and 2 DC 7.5ks
I am loving this, even though I think Camaro's should be for performance... I'm excited looks like a badass build all around.

Sundown amps
These amps can also be found in some world class SQ installs too. Can't remember who but one of the H.A.T. guys runs sundown amps, if I remember correctly

Single 12 xcon + BJ fisher box
I'm curious as to the effects of the chamber, trying to decide how much of it was aesthetics and how much it affects acoustics... I imagine it could have an impact on tuning, but it appears to be built more or less so that the box fit's in a spot and doesn't move... Enlighten us please

Arsenal 10"s failing??
oddly enough that coil looks worse than the Diamond d1 I decided to destroy with my strapped saz-1500d's... And I used one sub in a spl box built for two 10" transducers, tuned ~42 hz... I had very similar results to my speaker. I abused it, and that's what sub woofers do when abused well beyond their thermal and mechanical limits... I wish I could find the pictures of my d1 experiment.

Question
Golden rule when you want to be cool in car audio... and not logical. Take the amount of money you want to spend= Fail double it= might be possible quadruple it= now we are getting close Oh and not to bust your balls anymore but 4 saz-3000d's will require 2 or 3 alternators, which will require in most cases custom fabrication. I love how everyone wants to be Steve Meade (no offense he's a great guy, but he's got the cash) This hobby isn't cheap, and honestly there isn't ANYWHERE outside of an spl competition where you could even need a system like you are asking for. A single sub can hit 145+ dB's with moderate work, which is more than enough to cause permanent hearing damage...

preordered sundown3500d. now need subs! finally
Who are you agreeing with? I said SSD's. LOL what? Who said I was agreeing with anyone? I say go for the Q's but 4 of them. The word to(actually you misspelled it) too* It means also... Implying you were seconding a choice
