Can anyone help me with the problem i still have about leaving the stock radio in? Another problem i ran into is that the whole stock radio is kind of one piece and i feel leaving it would be the best option but is it ok for a stock head unit? its a brand new car and i think i read somewhere that the new radios are pretty good now for systems. I would get a PAC (if thats right??) and set up my system that way.

I absolutely love my bc2ks!! Amazing amps

No problem! Jus gotta compliment a nice truck when I see one. I love the kmc rockstars, I have the kmc slides

Your truck looks so sickk!!! I want it lol

why not strap the amps and then wire both subs togther to the amps? that way you wont have to gain match and just use one amp's gain.

Then that's what i will do. I will try out the speakers i have now (audioque) and if i need more then i will upgrade to what will fit. As of now these sound good in terms of listening, but i'm not really sure what i like though, so i will try outt different speakers and figure what sounds best for my application. Thanks a lot alton!

Sounds great. Maybe i can look into doing all this When you get time post some more pics of projects and builds. I'd love to see more!

Thats a great idea. I am doing a trunk build and if I have enough room in the back to make it look good then I hope to try that out. Will the amps get hot though? Since it's not vented the best?

I think your right, ill check on that. Do you have any speakers that come to mind that would be good? I have around 200

Hey first off, you do some amazing work!! In the locals car with the 3 Aq 10s how did you exactly make it so you put amps under the fabric and block off sub box? I know it's all aftermarket fabric but what did you do to make it look like that?

Well you guys have always said that smaller subs in right box is better than bigger subs in a bad box! I want to do it right and you guys are the pros so I have to take in every consideration you guys say even if I dont like it. Honestly I wanted to go with crescendo because it matching my amps and I know that the company itself is amazing as well as its products. I am open to any opinions that anyone has for door speakers. I have 200 to spend for 4 door speakers. I dont know what size they are but i will find out. 1 speaker per door. The only reason i dont want to stick with the audioque 6.5s is because of the 60 rms power handling. I want to go up in power since i have the power. Edit: The fusion does have 6x9s under back glass, i was thinking just leave those out and not replace them. Would that be a good decision?

I have 8 audioque 6.5s right now but only 60 rms each. I don't want to cut holes or anything in doors so I want to go back to crescendos mins and highs to put in factory locations. I'm really thinkin bout some xcons!!

Infiniti I30, and 1300 RMS. Very nice.Good luck with everything!

I think the same thing! So yeah if i can get the 15s to fit properly then ill do 15s but if not then 12s is second choice. Everyone is a fan of cone area haha. But I would hands down take two 12's in the proper air space and enough port area over two 15's shoehorned in a small box. OP my two XCON setup firing into the cabin should be done within the next week or so. I will have pics and vids in my build log asap. Exactly what i think about what you said first. I will definitely be looking out for that. What vehicle and power?

thanks for the input!

I am suggesting you go with XCON or ZCON 12's just not 15's. I didn't finish my thought. Ohh gotcha. I forsure dont want to get 15s if they wont fit properly.

I am pretty sure i am just going to buy it when lease is up. Dont worry about it man it happens lol I think i just need to measure trunk and figure out what i can fit and just go from there.

Scratch that its the Kicker ZR1000 model. That amp will work just fine. I suggest 12's because 90% of trunks aren't big enough to properly port two XCONs or ZCONs.

I still havent measured it but i looks kinda big. How come not xcon or zcon 12s though? Just wondering why?

yes the amp has all that. I think you misread it. I said subs and port facing forward sealed off from trunk. I will measure tomorrow and see once i get home from college.

Scratch that its the Kicker ZR1000 model.

why icons over xcons/zcons? just wondering why it makes them more of a daily system?

Did i say the wrong amp name?? it's a 2 channel amp and i have been running my mids on the amp since i got it. One sec let me go check it and why do you suggest 12s? My goals are to have a strictly daily system that will play the music i said before and will get loud to ear. Meter doesnt matter to me. I obviously cant describe what i think is loud but enough to rattle your brains and feel it in your stomach/chest

I do want 15s if i can get an optimal box. I just havent measured anything. Back up to 15s not fitting properly is just 2 12s. Are you asking about what mids and highs or what amp will be running them? Anyways mids and highs as of now, i have 8 audioque 6.5s but i plan to jus sell them all and go back to the crescendo 6.5 components. They will be powered by the Kicker ZX1000 2 channel amp. I just didn't know if the power would be okay for zcons. Oh i remember now!!! For the music that i listen too, i listen to mostly rap and hiphop but i cant go without my country, dubstep and dance/electronica music!

Hey everyone! So my dad leased out a new 2012 Fusion Sport and has had it for about 3 months now. We were talkin about selling my trailblazer and i just take over the lease! He's a great salesmans at Hines Park Ford in New Hudson/Milford, Michigan and he can get a demo that the dealership will pay for. Also if you want a ford go to him lol. I'm pretty lucky because im only 18 and i'm gettin a 2012! Love my parents!! I have not yet measured out the trunk yet but it looks fairly large. The size of the box I can fit will determine if I will choose 2 15s or 2 12s. I dont want to squeeze 2 15s in the trunk if it wont be optimal. I plan to have subs and port facing forward sealed off. Also box will be built by me and will be custom designed most likely by Buck. He's done all of my designs for me and friends. For my electrical, it is completely stock right now. I will be getting a H/O alt, doing big 3 in 0ga, and installing a second batt in the back. I do have a deka 9a31 for my second batt but i want to sell and get a xs d3100. My equipment consists of 2 Crescendo BC2ks and 1 Kicker zx1000 (i absolutley love these amps!!!!!!!!!). The nendos will be for subs strapped together and zx1000 will be for mids and highs. So the big decision for me is the sub stage. I have heard nothing but good things from the SSA line and I really want to try them out. I have heard that the SSA subs dont need the rated power to sound good and get loud. But I'm not sure how much rms i can put to the subs with the H/O alt and d3100, i'm thinkin around 3k rms? Willl that be enough for a pair of Zcons or would that be more optimal for the Xcons. Also what other subs are around the same level as these that can be compared?? My budget is undetermined as of right now because i have to sell my trailblazer and figure out how much money i will have total to spend on subs. But if i dont have enough i will buy used or 1 and save for other. I most likely am missing some info lol so if you have any other questions or need more info PLEASE ask. Thanks alot to everyone!!
