Well, I am cheap so I wouldn't dish out the extra money for a sub that I don't have enough power to let it shine or put it to work. But if he already has it or if he wants it then so be it. As its his money and his set-up. Just my opinion.

what kinda battery is in the back? Can you upgrade that if needed? Also, what size wiring do they have stock for the trunk battery to the alternator? Can you upgrade that if needed for the big 3? I'd say if you don't want to upgrade your electrical then go with an amp thats about 1000-1200watts and downgrade to the BL. With that power theres no need to go with a more expensive BTL. Trust me Fi subs can take a bit more power than what they are rated for when put in the right box. Can you go larger in sub size? A bigger sub in a large ported box with lower power will get you the BOOM BOOM you want as well. Make sure to have plenty of port area. And make sure the shop knows what they are doing or you can make them tell you the box specs/plans first and post it up on here before letting them make it so we can tell you that its bullshit or not.

Theres more than just car audio. Theres the car show section too.

Yea ebay was my best friend in high school but i want something with a warranty and with ours i can blow subs and just get them replaced, but i really wanna try some mach5s ixls If you want warranty, stick with Best buy. If you want quality and loudness minus the price tag, I recommend Audioque's HDC3's :] a pair will blow the **** out of your car Any of the good companies will have warranty. You don't just have to buy from Best Buy for a warranty. The only thing that isn't warrantied is user error.

nice work. that sucks that alternator is so low down there.

What? Get dual 2 ohms on the BL and you will be able to wire it down to 1 ohm. http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=22

Yup, I was going to do that. I debated on if I wanted to 45 the corners or not. lol. I probably wont.

Car - 2000 Mustang Amp - Audiopipe AP1500D sub - 10" Mach5 iXL box - .9 cubes net tuned to 34hz I was going to try for a T-line but theres no room to get a bigger size box really into the trunk and the girlfriend wanted a fairly small sized box so yeah. I just cut out the speaker hole. The port still needs to be glued in. more to come.

I am guessing by highs you mean more SPL? Redo your box with a higher tuning is the cheapest thing to do. And I really haven't heard anything about having the Qs be able to recone to BLs. That doesn't even sound right.

why is A the best in that picture without real dimensions?

shizzzon cheated. He changed the design of the box <- cock. lol

There you go. lol. F you sean.

Yes. I wanna say B or C but it really depends on the real dimensions. I'd go with B.5 right between B and C. At A, it looks like the air flow isn't going to be as good. It would be a lot easier if it were drawn up to scale as well if you wanted specifics.

box specs?

far away from the port interior opening as possible.

You should talk to the company that you got your alternator from too. More than likely they will know the wires on their own alternators better instead of a mechanic, which would know stock or engine wiring.

the o8 accord coupes are so clean. I wished I had an 08 instead of a 96 lol.

vid at the end of pics. Very nice install. great use of space.

I doubt they will take the time and design the box for your specific car for free.

awesome design on the box. wished I could cut like that lol.

depending on the design.

sounds about right.

Yeah, I was joking about the kole amp. I wouldn't go with any of those amps.

It is cheap but reliable as well.

keep the back of the sub as far away from the inside port opening as possible is what I go by.
