Geez, why HID reverse lamps? You going off roading in that?

BL with SPL package...daily? and port area
You can't/shouldn't play music with the SPL option. Get it changed before they build.

New car...Help
Not sure if its too late, but the Interceptor packages usually include things like upgraded charging systems, for the lights and radios and other police gadgets. Sometimes the engine will be of a slightly higher performance variant, and it will include "severe duty" upgrades, like oil coolers. Also, the suspension maybe equipped with severe duty shocks, leading to a stiffer ride, although after 100k+ working miles, those are probably ready to be replaced. On some Interceptors, the transmissions are programmed to shifter more aggressively then the civvy models, and some even have limited slip diffs. The spring rates and ground clearance are higher, and the exhaust system comes without resonators. This probably changed through the years. My point here, is that the Interceptors have some modifications suited for their service. There are sites dedicated to Interceptor Crown Vics, so you can read up more. -Trevor

But man, that sucks. What windows do you have tinted?- Quick SSQ & Q Question
Ok, gotcha. Alright. I have 1500-1800W on tap, I will be running a Sundown 1500D at .5 ohms. I don't have a whole lot of space to work with either. If I go ported, then it will have to be a small box. Sealed is looking good at this point, but I'm not sure how much SPL I would loose. Two SSDs or Qs would work, as would one BL. So right now, I'm trying to decide what moofer(s) would fit my criteria.- Quick SSQ & Q Question
Before anything, how much power will a Q with BP cooling handle, if gains are set properly, no audible clipping, etc.? Okay, first off, the SSD should be louder then the Q, IN THEORY (disregard the box and everything), due to it's higher sensitivity, correct? Second, the SSD is known to be heavy on the low end bass, but a bit lacking in the higher freqs. How does the Q do? Will the Q slam as hard as the SSD? In other words, will the Q reach that ass-dragging low bass that rap music is typical of? Thanks, I'm going to ask a couple more questions based upon the answers I receive to this, so check back. -SteveSan- 18" BTL with Kicker kx2500.1..Pics and info
Nice! Lots of carpet on the box. I'm going to go ahead and say it before someone else does, but you better probably secure your battery and your amp before you do anything else. A quick stop will turn that battery into a very large, very heavy projectile. And well, the amp probably won't like slamming into things. But other then that, nice install. Also, is it just me, or is the truck's @$$ riding a little low?- Lookie what I saw today. 180.2db's
How... the heck... do you take those trophies home?!? I hope they come apart, because they're ridiculous big.- Wifes first comp today
That little cubby looks good for stashing the gear out of sight.- HBD STEVE-O!!!!
Happy happy birthday!- noob question: amp settings
What amp do you have, what settings does it have, and what kind of sub, sub enclosure, and other speakers do you have? All of the settings are there because everyone's setup is different. You need to tweak them to *your* setup, and we might be able to help if we have more information to work with.- what size power wire
So what would everyone suggest grounding to in a unibody vehicle?- my latest project, 04XXXmotor/05SX12D2
Haha, nice, I knew this would be interesting.- What it be!
I thought it was what it do?- Lookie what I saw today. 180.2db's
Holy chit! Specs!- sup
Hey, welcome. Most of us like to get loud too.- does fi make 8s????
Actually, its probably closer to 1000 watts. 4000w is Pyle's peak rating.- nSPL Show -- Roanoke Rapids
Ahh, so in your case, the fuse ratings. I couldn't figure out what the number 1201-2400 applied to. Cool. So with my 1500D, i couldn't compete in NSPL's beginner class, since they all have 100A limits, right? Not that I know of any NSPL comps around here, but just FMI.

158dB... wow! Congratulations on making second place Would you mind briefly explaining how the classes work?- WOO WOO! new car!
SUPERCHARGER! Nice ride though. Digital display is interesting.- electrical systems
Nope. Get a better amp, and then you'll have to worry about your electrical. - Toyota Corolla
