  1. ehh u just gain a little bit of more cone area is all, i see it being negligible.
  2. Man ive been thinking about selling both of my amps to get matching or just 1 big amp, but idk peoples prices are ridiculous for less wattage than i have lol. 5000w amps going for over 1k$ is ridiculous to me. I paid 500$ for a 5000w amp and before that about 300$ for a 2500w amp. Rediculous, so unless i can sell mines for that much i'll just run a bastard system. Also i forgot i was running at 2ohms instead of 1 which should net me 4000w or so lol Need a dual bracket. So i'll def be over the 15k watt mark, im getting just thinking about it now, lol, but its freaking 19deg outside..
  3. Lol u can use that term as much as u like, not everyone has to agree. I still like to say SQL because some ppl dont like it either, its just one of those hot-topics if you will, kinda like this whole KING Cab thread lol
  4. nah just use the one from page 2 that i posted, or you can change things up urself if u goto the calculator to tweak it the way u want
  5. LOL i think this is the most work ive done in a while on here lol Well i just checked 3 cut sheets fi has on its page against the RE calculator and everything came out right. Soooo might as well use it. lol i doubt 1hz off is going to be that big of a deal even if it is. So id just stick to the RE calculator for convenience, im no expert by any means.
  6. It will work fine for the initial setup. The only thing is the port length and depth are not correct for the frequency you want. Which is what i was attempting to figure out above with the 8in width and 23 inch depth.. But since your depth is 27 i would i would have an L port, so instead of straight 23" piece run it back like 13" and make have a perpendicular piece to that that is 10" =23 total
  7. Well lets try this again. lol http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/enclosure-volume-calculator/#axzz2H2jRjm1b So the volume was way off wt the RE calculator. But the cut out should be fine and the above is more accurate. It would really depend on ur displacement which i just put .5 ....... and now as i sit here looking at it my brain just went poof Someone else feel free to jump in
  8. I read that else where but i was going for what i've used. RE's is convenient and then i just double check with http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp
  9. another calculator says the port length should be 32, but ehh... You also have to factor in displacement for bracing and the sub, to be 98.7% accurate lol so right now ur looking at 16.622ft^3 of space, once we find the displacement we can adjust the port length to be more accurate. Which is going to be a smaller number which will make the port length longer and the port width smaller if the box volume gets too small i think i looked at that right. http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp
  10. Ive never heard anyone complain about the w7, other than the price.
  11. im no wall expert but from what i have seen you build the wall and have an idea of how big you want the port then shim it out accordingly. Well i suppose thats what they do when they are chasing DB's But looking at your truck you could eaither build it in the truck. or make it small enough to fit through the door and just run a piece of wood across the top to seal it off. id talk to this guy Page 6 http://www.soundsolu...__fromsearch__1
  12. A sealed wall is going to be louder because you have less room in the actual car. So the waves have a shorter distance to travel basically. But typically the more cone area you have the louder or wattage but then you take into account motor force i think....

    Thats weird to have a different coil though... If its still rated for the same power i wouldn't worry about it, but i thought 4" coils had better power handling and cooling?
  14. djjdnap replied to J2phat4u's topic in Fi Technical
    I am going to assume that the 4 inch coils are going to have more resistance because its more surface area and material. So that seems like a reasonable rationale.

    maybe you got 1ohm recones instead of 2ohm ???
  16. nah that wont help then. Sounds like an alt problem to me. Being at .5ohms probably is sucking alot of juice, but if its claimed to be 350amp alt and ur gassing it and still dropping thats your problem. I mean if its charging to 14.x then it works but isn't 350a. put it in park and rev it to 3k and see if it still happens, usually HO alts take high revs to produce, so if it works better at 3-4k get a smaller alt pulley and you should be good.

  18. Does it drop while u hold on the gas or just at idle? Also have you done the big 3, im assuming yes with a new alt and batt. Is the XS the only batt you have? If so i recommend a smaller battery up front and put larger in the back next to the amp. The larger batt will take longer to charge back up, per se.
  19. same as people dont know what a deuce and a quarter is. http://gmfullsize.com/forum/showthread.php?t=215640 seems im not the only one. SOooooooOOO,yea
  20. right but that is where u gave your money, where you got a receipt. The dealers problems aren't your problems.
  21. might just be me, but i see this as a dealer issue. If that's where you gave your money then they would be responsible for refunding, you not the company.
  22. Thats alot of power on your legs there lol. I'll take that prototype for 50% pleez and tank u lol..

  24. Well working at Oriellys i would have to say get one of their semi AGM batteries. I think they are like 110$ a piece I have 4 of them in my truck http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/SSB5/315T/N2493.oap?ck=Search_N2493_SSB_-1_1888&mn=Super+Start%28R%29&mc=SSB&pt=N2493&ppt=C2389
