  1. Get the "Shop" that you are paying to do it. It's not that hard to measure your space and find the height, width, and depth of the box for the right volume and tuning. Were you trying to ask Fi or forum goers to give you a design? The SSA store sells designs if you want to buy one.
  2. pwk designs boxes...he doesn't build them. it doesnt take much for somebody to completely fuck a box. Lol. If you can't do 150s with 8 15 on 5k then you gotta be retarded.
  3. I wouldn't say all that.
  4. Happy birthday!
  5. 2 10s ported is fine in that space
  6. Its not what they are designed for so no don't run a BL sealed. Just go with either a single Q and seal up the other sub hole or run two SSDs. Add some filler to get more effective volume.
  7. If that box has only 1.7 cuft total then thats really small for two 12s. You have to take into account for the the sub's displacements as well. You would barely have enough space for the recommended sealed enclosure for the SSDs. I would add filling to get more effective volume. I wouldn't stray against Fi's recommendations much... The box is great for cosmetics but that price tag is retarded. And why would you need to run another sub in the center console with two in the rear already? I mean, its your vehicle so you can do what you want with it but I would seal up one of the sub holes for that box and run a single 12" Q.
  8. SSDs. Don't spend more money than you have to. You won't be disappointed if you put it in the right box.
  9. Why pay for more with stinger brand then?
  10. Mostly rap means more output to me than sound quality. You probably just want an undistorted sound.
  11. Don't think that the Q cannot give you good output with sound quality. I have worked with the BTL, BL, Q, and SSDs. However, I really cannot say how each stacks up against the havoc as I haven't used a havoc yet. But the Q is a great driver for sound quality. You can get really good outputs as well. I remember someone did 150s when he tested a Fi Q either 10 or 12 in his truck. It will have a lot to do with your enclosure. How much power are you going to use and are you sure you want sound quality? Musical tastes? Also, I probably shouldn't comment on other manufacturers subs as this is a AA forum section. I only said things about Fi because they are owned by the same company.
  12. Check out Knukonceptz or welding cables.
  13. You could always ask for help in the forums on choosing an Fi driver that will be close to what you were looking for in an AA driver and for your goals. Damn lol. I posted a little late.
  14. Shit, if you're just comparing to the CVRs, then the SSDs will still do the job better if paired with a right enclosure.
  15. Wait what? lol. What company made your alt? You may want to ask for a refund. 1200 rpm isn't idle either. If you drop below your batteries voltage and down to 11v then your battery is more than half way depleted and your alt is maxed out if it cannot keep voltages up. My girlfriend's 240 amp DC Power alt output ~140 amps at idle, 700-800 rpm, and sits at 14.8 volts hot with stereo on blast (1500 watts) , all lights on, and AC full blast.
  16. I think that is resting too low. I have no experience with the recondition mode on your charger so I don't know. Contact a dealer or google the manual.
  17. I'll agree to that. I'll never buy another yellowtop again, even if I could get 2 for the price of one of my dekas. Which is impossible by the way.
  18. Shit, you're good. You may even get me to buy a sundown amp.... Not really. I'm broke.
  19. I think the only way to install anything that won't void portions of the car warranty is to have the dealer install it. Because once you do something aftermarket, even if its by a audio shop, you're liable to have your warranty stripped. It probably won't be brought up until you need warranty work done and they can say that something you did "aftermarket" to the car made the problem happen. BUT if you get the dealer to install it, then they cannot say shit as they did the work and approved it. However, I doubt dealers install car audio. Just DIY it. You have forums to help you. At least one of us has your car or has done something you are about to do.
  20. Only do the big three if you really think you need it. Why do it just to do it? And what others are saying about saving is smarter. Rainy days come unexpectedly.
  21. That's the old AQ 3500D amp. AQ's 3500D is now the 3500D.1 and it does more than the old 3500. It is still a little more than 100 dollars less than the sundown 3500 so yeah the Sundown 3500 better have beefier parts or that is wasted money. And again, difference won't be noticed but in your pocket. O and no AQ nut huggin here. I nuthug audiopipe. Get it right. PS- And I found this on their newer 3500D.1 amps but its from the owner so I guess I can't take his word for it. 1400 @ 4ohm @ less then 1%thd @ 14.4 2600 @ 2ohm @ less then 1%thd @ 14.4 4300 @ 1ohm @ less then 1% thd @ 14.4 Why?Because he follows the band wagon. I hate how when someone says what they want cheap price at a certain power output and people still tell them to go with sundown even though its like 100+ dollars over what that someone's budget is or what else is out there for the same performance. The only other thing I'll recommend for the same power or close but cheaper in price is an Audiopipe AP15001D (1500 rms watts at 1 ohm) if you can find one. They usually go for 160-200 shipped with warranty. Buy from a dealer if you want manufacturer warranty. Buy off ebay if you want cheap price and still may get 1 year warranty through that ebay store that is selling it and also be able to get extra warranty through square trade really cheap.But if you really want the AQ1200 then get it or if you want the Sundown 1200 then get that but you won't hear a damn difference. You'll just get mad rep points for owning sundown and paying a lot for something you could have for less. Its may be just me but I hate spending more money then I have to. Ask anyone that has own an audiopipe AP or AQX line. See if they were unhappy at all. PS, I am not a rep for audiopipe. phi, you make me happy Apparently, I made someone mad. They gave me -rep. Damn, I'll need to get a sundown amp to up my rep.Odd, that wasnt me. Must have been a REAL bandwagoner. I havent honestly used AQ, although I have heard it been given bad rap a few times. I didnt mean to say "eh" in that I wouldnt use it and that they make sub-par products, but that I stand on neutral ground when it comes to their products. Guess it didnt come out the same way I had thought.Who knows? Maybe I will end up with some of their products some day. Hell, I have been eyeing a 3500.1. (Even though an SD used is around the same price as the AQ) Sorry, I guess I got your "eh" expression wrong.
  22. I do agree that AQ has good customer service. Its just that everything I do goes off budget. Whether it be for myself or for someone's build, I work off budgets. I'll get the best I can get but still being able to stay within budget.
