Okay, it looks like they are very adjustable, but i doubt i need all that since i'm just getting passive components for now and all i want is adequate , clean sound to keep up w/a 15' icon and sundown sae1000d

I'm going to with either 2.5 or 2.75 cubic feet sealed. I don't have the saw necessary to build a box, but if I gave home depot the dimensions they'd cut wood for me right? Also, is it cool to mount the amp on the box or should I build an amp rack? I kinda like the idea of having an amp, just dont know how difficult it'd be to make one. Also, will 2 rolls of RAAmmat BXT and a few yards of ensolite be enough deadening, at least for my goals (loud and clean daily driving)? thanks.

well i've changed my mind again, lol. That icon/sundown deal looks too good to pass up, especially since it'll be cheaper than a q and a decent amp for it. Enclosure suggestions?

anyone have experience with these? I was thinking about getting a 400.2 or 500.2 to power to power my front stage(once i can decide on a set) because they look like they have a lot of features for the money. Anyone know anything about these amps?

whats wrong w/the zx 1000.1, i thought it'd be better since it'd be 1000 watts @ 2 vs a 1 ohm load w/the 1200.1. Will the 1200 be to much?... i don't want to have to repair it in a few months if 1200 watts is too much, but i guess i could keep the gain down since a lil headroom is good.

Thanks for the input...i'll probably get the 15 since i have the space for it. The 1200.1 wasn't too much for the q? Did you get any options on it?

I can't decide on what size driver to get. It will be going into a 2000 jeep grand cherokee. The dimensions of the cargo area are approx. 30" x 15" x 42" which is ~10.4 cubic feet, however i'd like to have some space left. I'm thinking about about powering the sub with either a kicker zx 1000 or kx 1200.1(open to other comparable amp suggestions). Any particular advantages to each driver? Would the 15 be louder? I know its all install dependent. I listen to rap/hip hop and classic rock mostly(more hip hop though). Not really going for an SQ system, just want the substage to be tight, responsive, and get loud when i want to? Any input is appreciated.

Pretty sure i'm going to go w/a 12" Fi Q ...any amp recommendations in the $300 price range?? Right I'm thinking about... -kicker zx 1000.0--$279 on ebay -kicker kx 1200.1-$300 on the for sale section here -phoenix gold rsd 1200.1 -hifonics brutus bxi1206d -JBL GTO1201.1 II cadence txa 1000d cadence zrs 6000d suggestions? thanks.

anyone have experience with the mach 5 maw series or the AA arsenals

Do you have it ported or sealed?

What do you mean by, "something left to be desired ", on the re comps?. Midbass response, clarity?

both those comps only do 50-60 watts rms. I figured i'd need at least 75 rms to keep up w/a 900 watt sub, guess i was wrong. Solid midbass on both of those pioneer comps?

Well my budget for the entire system is like $1500....allocating anywhere from 40-50% on a substage and that includes a good box(which i will have to buy b/c i dont have the space or tools to build one myself). However, if electrical upgrades are going to be an arm & leg, i'll just look into something not as powerful. For argument sake, lets say $600 substage, $400 front stage, and the remainder for all wires/connects, electrical upgrades, and sound deadener...does that sound reasonable?

Yeah, i saw that packaged deal earlier. Any recommendations on a front stage (just looking for something that will keep up w/a 900 wrms anp(? With that kind of power from the substage is $1500 still a reasonable budget, considering i'll probably need to dynamat at least the rear hatch and front doors...and will the big 3 be necessary?(i'm so new to all of this)

Okay thanks
