I have a regular cab ranger and I know how hard it is to get loud in a truck. I'm thinking about doing a similar setup this summer but with a 10'' bl because I have nowhere near enough room for a 12''. The only thing I can think of for you to do would be to do a blowthrough, or add more power because bl's can take alot more than 750 watts. But considering the space you have I'd say you have an excellent score and I can't wait to make some money so I can start my build. How do you like the bl for daily music?

what vehicle is it in?

i think getting the sundown would be a no-brainer. great customer service and they are solid amps.

sundown 1000d or 1500d kicker zx1000 or zx1500 fosgate 1000 or 1500 Honestly, I don't think you'll be able to hear too much of a difference going with 1500 vs. 1000. I can tell you from my own personal experience, though it is much less wattage, that when I had 750 watts powering two kappa perfects I couldn't hear a difference from what I usually run on them, which is 500 watts.

glad you found the problem

better choice for what?

you can't go wrong with any of those. but since sq isn't a huge priority why not go with a bl?

im not positive but i think the sx and bl would be comparable and the icon and q would be comparable. meaning the sx and bl are meant to get loud first while the icon and q are meant to sound good first. someone else can correct me if im wrong as i've never used any of the above......yet.

he wanted to go sealed and just realized they are to be used ported

If you liked how the L7's sounded then go with the L7's. Personally I would get a BTL because it would be something different than what you've already had.

im dying to see a vid of this

found a link for the rsd's for ya http://www.mobilesoundworks.com/ProductDet...uctCode=rsd65cs

then do you just use caulk to seal around the wires?

ok thanks ///m5

ok so what features should i look for in a headunit if i plan to run active?

I've had this head unit for nearly three years now and it still works great. I am now looking into putting together a 2-way active setup in a regular cab ford ranger and was wondering if this will be able to run active. I'm new to active setups and I am not sure what to look for in a headunit and would like to keep my 9830 if possible because I am low on cash. Here is a list of the specs: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-9eC4Vpu3XuP/A...px?i=500CDA9830

sorry man not trying to take over this thread but i just have one quick question relating to this. do the headunits you suggested (Alpine 9813, 9835, 9855 Eclipse 8053, 8443, 8454, 8455 Pioneer 880prs, 9800) all do active? i'm looking into doing a two way active front stage as well and needed to know which headunit to get, i currently have the alpine 9830.

wow thats impressive work

which sub are you going to use?

how about the 15'' icon/sae-1000d for $520. that is what i would do if i had the space. throw it in a 4.0ft^3 @32hz and call it a day. or i could sell you two barely used 12'' infinity kappa perfects, your choice....haha.

you sir have made me extremely jealous

well the first thing i would do is invest in a decent alarm. my truck was broken into about three years ago. picked up an alarm and the installers put a flashing led light in the pillar that is visible through the windshiled and i haven't had any attempted break-ins since.

thanks alot guys.....i learn something new everyday from this forum.

the reason i'm asking this is because i have around 1.8ft^3 of internal space to work with. I could fit two tens in somewhere around .75ft^ft3 each or one in 1.25ft^3. would going with .75ft^3 affect the subs ability to handle the lows, reduce output, or affect sound quality? edit: forgot to add each scenario would be using a 3'' aeroport tuned to 32hz in a regular cab ranger.

i'm curious on this subject as well. what would be the difference in putting a 10 inch sub such as an icon or a bl in the smallest recommended size ported box versus the largest recommended size box?
