Okay thanks guys, I was mostly wondering what size wire i could fit into there. And, IF it was too small i wanted to know if the terminals could be replaced, I didn't want to do it anyways, so less work for me!

Uhhhhh...

I was just wondering if it was possible to replace the push terminals on the BTL with the terminals you need a hex key to open and close, could someone also tell me what gauge wire will fit in the push terminals. I don't have it yet, I'm just asking if its possible.

That's what I would do. It will be very loud even for daily. And since you aren't looking to be the loudest guy on the road you probably won't even use all that power. You don't think the alt would hold for 2-3 second burps?

Whatever you want, Audiopulse has some amazing woofers, the LMS Ultra in particular

I like the red and orange car in the background much better than the rice burner in the foreground. just the red for me plzkthx That "riceburner" is a Nissan Skyline, and it is pure muscle, I would prefer that Orange 1971 Boss Mach One...ahhh Mustangs.....

Obviously the Mayhem is not better that the NEW BTL, it is the same as the OLD BTL, and the BTL has been re-designed to be better than the OLD one, if the OLD one is better that the NEW one, Fi wasted their time, I highly doubt they would design a woofer that is not superior to the previous model.

ok man......nobody said ''as long as if it's in spec its fine'' that would have been all I needed to hear............. all I heard was just to build it ''safe for the woofer'' WTF. How was I supposed to know? I can't read fuking minds......I've never had a subwoofer like this...... So you get some respect and fuk off.....u seem like that type of person that thinks they're 'all that' too......and I can't fuking stand that. You need to calm the f... down and listen to yourself. You are asking the stupidest questions. You think there is a God given Holy Grail to box making and you are getting pissed off because you cant find it and no one can give you the answer you want to hear. You need to use your common sense (if you have any) and look at the specifications, power handling, and recommended tuning. Follow those guidelines and you will be fine. Don't be reckless with your equipment and you won't have to worry about having inconvenient problems. X2

That is why your ground is supposed to be just as big as your power wire.

Wow, it looks really good! Those 10's look to small for that Hyundai though! The box is purdy...

This is my first "real" amp. I'm converting from a 500 watt Crossfire amp! LOL

I'll take a bunch of pics as soon as I get it!

How are you liking yours bigjon? I'm going to be running a 18" BTL fully loaded.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST BOUGHT A SUNDOWN SAZ3000D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M KINDA EXCITED FOR IT...

Kicker. Maxxsonics is nothing. Period.

----When you make 2 trips to the local audio shops a week. ----When you call those trips "making the rounds" ----When every employee of the shops know you by name. ----When, while making those trips, you are offered a job at almost every shop. ----When you know what every person at your High school has in their car. ----When you have 4 sets of tower speakers, 3 radios, a completely disassembled subwoofer lying on your floor, surrounded by your stock door speakers, and the boxes of every audio product you have ever had stacked on your dresser. and a spider web of speaker wire lying around. And a little cardboard box with with 2 .5" tweets and 2 6" midbass speakers because you ran out of MDF and had no money for gas to get more MDF cause you just bought a $700 amp a few hours before. ----When the guys at the local shops know not to try to sell you anything. ----When you give your best friend chit for buying a prefab box. ----When you have fun quizzing the new employee at the local shop(s) ----When you are posting stuff on a car audio forum about your addiction at 2:30 am ----When, as soon as you wake up, are running to the bank to check how much you made this paycheck. How much that was will determine if you are ordering that $500 sub this week or not.

Yes, that was what this post was about, if I had the elecrrical to run at such a low impedance.

Yes, we only have about 2 competitions a year at most around here.

I was wondering the same thing. Usually if you can't get it rewound it's because the alternator case is already stuffed with wire as much as it can be. No more wire = no more power generation. If you plan on blowing your eardrums out with it turned up all day, get the larger alternator. No, I value my hearing and respect other drivers, I only play loud for short periods of time(competition). And i was going to get a recone for it so Ill be able to change impedance, sorry about the misunderstanding. Duran i still dont understand... even if you get it reconed.... how are you gonna run 2 ohms then change it to 1 ohm when you wish... are you saying for now your gonna run the 2 ohm,... and later your gonna get reconed for 1 ohm? Yes, I'm not sure if I will though, get D1 and run at 2 ohms for daily. And get a extra D2 recone for competitions and run it at 1 ohm. OR I could just get the D1 and run it at .5ohm for competitions, would the BTL take 5200 watts? Duran

Okay guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I will be buying an 18" BTL any day now, I'm going to run it with a Sundown SAZ3000.1, at 2 ohms for daily driving and 1 ohm for comps and such, I will back it up with a Kinetik HC1400, and 2 HC1800's, I will also do my Big 3 in 1/0 gauge, my problem is my alternator, it is a stock 90A, I took it in to a shop today to see if they could rewind it and get more juice out of it and they said they couldn't do anything for it, but I talked to Nathan Pedicord from Excessive Amperage about a 225A that would fit. Why am I unable to get it rewound or built up? Do I even need it? Or will the Kinetiks be fine. Any input would be great, thanks for your time! Duran

Like they would tell you, I know if I was the owner of a company that makes kick @$$ woofers, I wouldn't give out any info that could get my designs copied...

JL Audio plugged the pole and put in vents on all their woofers, Kicker L5's and L7's are plugged with cooling vents, Rockford Fosgate P1's, P2's, and P3's are all plugged, I'm not sure about the T1's and T2's though...
