go with the 18"

o you'll be happy with the fi btls... i love mine... kicker 2500wrms amps seem like a good choice for them... i would run 1 or 2 xs power d3100 batteries.... then look into a mechman alternator like allen said...

kk will do

Ram designs on here is one option. I as well as many others on here can help you through the process. sounds good ill look into ram designs and see what i think..

hmm.. if i can get a good design im sure i could make it myself. just gotta find someone the designs boxes....

im thinking the same thing... i was thinking about getting these boxes now... but i doubt it would make a difference... opinions ?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATREND-RE-AUDIO-XXX18D2-18-VENTED-SUB-ENCLOSURE-BOX-/390306301765?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae0118745

haha thats what i was thinking with my 2 18's... hair trick ftw lol i still havent had the chance to try it yet... but im sure it will work... heres a link to my thread btw.. finally got some pics and a vid of my setup

Interesting swap. I was thinking D15. That's a DX isn't it? mine used to have a d15 in it.... around 60-70whp LOL... now with close to 400whp its a lot faster ya its the dx model

its kind of a trick lol... in my hifonics manual it says the brz1200 takes a 120amp fuse... the brz1700 takes a 170amp fuse... the brz2100 takes a 200amp fuse.... and my brz2400 takes a 250amp fuse... and the 3000 takes a 300amp fuse... even though i dont think they make the brz3000 anymore cause i cant find them anywhere...

each btl is in a vented box... the port is on the bottom of the box right by the batteries... 6 cubic feet each... tuned to 35hz heres a link to the boxes i bought. a little cheap i know... but it does the job for now http://cgi.ebay.com/ATREND-18LSV-18-VENTED-CAR-SUB-ENCLOSURE-BOX-6-CU-FT-?cmd=ViewItem&hash=item5ae2ad7952&item=390350076242&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0 lol i just uploaded it so its still processing its a dohc zc... pretty much equal to a ls

alright finally got some pics and a vid of my car... i know the cars dirty lol i just installed the alternator so i havent had time to clean the grease off yet interior. engine pics from when my bumpers were black... engine still looks the same today. so ya i ordered a fully loaded fi btl 18" i ordered another sub exactly the same from Fi ... and got this... the whole sub was pretty much different...i know they look alike but the cone was a different texture and so was the rubber surround... Fi told me they are making a switch from using parts from overseas to getting them made in america... some pics of them together... installing the alternator wires Mechman 220a Alternator.. had to make a custom bracket for it... but its worth it lol XS Power d3100 battery hooked up Hifonics BRZ2400.1 Amps installed.... underneath the amps i screwed 2x4s into the body and then covered it with the carpet and mounted the amps to the wood... pretty damn sturdy lol. grounds for the amp... the car already had places for bolts so it worked out perfect for the grounds.. bracket i made to hold up the boxes... heres the subs mounted in the car... right behind the driver and passanger seat... looking back from the rear view mirror. and ofcourse got to have a flexx video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJiRcInOyI8

wow only 1 18 on 4000 wrms and it does that... im impressed... my 2 18s on 5000 wrms does about the same thing.... whats your box tuned to ?

just cause the subs voicecoils burnt up doesnt mean you'll be able to feel it by pushing the cone in lol....the sub will still feel the same.... i bet the voicecoil wires burnt up and snapped... especially if you have smelled it before... and you have smelled it more than once... they finally probably just snapped...

agreed

ya you can either link/strap SOME amps together if they have the master/slave option.... or you can daisy chain amps which is what i do... if your amps have a rca input and output...then run one set of rcas from the cd player to #1 amps input... then run another set of rcas from #1 amps output to #2 amps input.... remote wire is the same... run one wire from cd player to #1 amps remote... then run a wire from the #1 amps remote to #2 amps remote... pretty simple actually...

once you get those 4 10s in i wanna come hear it i live about a hour away from KC.... maybe i can come up there and we can compare systems as i have 2 18's on 5000wrms in a 91 civic hatch i always love watching build logs about civics so i cant wait to see this done... i plan on taking some pics and starting a thread of my own ill give you a link when i do.. keep up the good work.

BTL FTMFW!!!!

ive ordered 2 18" subs from Fi in the past and they have answered every question i have had by email within a day or 2... i love fi audio and will continue to buy from you guys.... :thumbs up

whats your setup ?? how many watts rms ??

im running 2 hifonics brz2400.1... very good amps for the price... im running them with 2 18" fi btl n2's ( id suggest getting them im running a xs power d3100 battery and a mechman 220a alternator and its perfect for my setup...

MMMmmmmmmm haha. gotta love them jello shots. me and my girl went to a party last night and ya we did drink a good amout (of busch light ) and the whole time we were just talking about all this. she says shes not pregnant and to stop worrying but something inside of me tell me i should still be worried.... so she might be pregnant... and shes drinking.... wow...

LOL it took you 45 days to get your alternator... thats ridiculous... i ordered my 220a alternator from mechman and got it in 3 days.... steady 14.5v... i love it... easy to install... only thing i had to do was buy another belt (stock one was to short)

wow well as a father of 2 at the age of 22... just make sure to get a good job to support the kid... id suggest moving out as well once you can afford it..

keep it at 2ohms... better safe then sorry..

ive heard good things about them so i think you'll be happy
