Well Damn, How Much Can An 18" Xcon Handle?

Sorry To Repost, But After Reading The F150 Forum, I Think The Guy Might Have Torched The Subs By Leaving Them On His Workbench, Which Got Sand And Dirt On Them. If The Debris Was Anywhere In The Spider/Lead Or Terminal Assemblies It Could've Seriously F'ed Them Up. The Fact He Was Running A SAE-1200D On .5 Ohm And Probably Didn't Set His Amp Up Right Is Also Bothering Me.

Well, I Live In Kilgore, Texas. And I Have To Say, I Don't Mind Driving To Lubbock To Kick This Nooblet's Ass.

Scott Is The Owner Of Fi. Nuff Said.

Are Those Damn AQ HD Series Subs Worth It? From My Experience, Their Amps Are Subpar, At Best. Looking At The Specs, The 15" Looks To Outshine The 18"

Just Get The Damn Things Fully Loaded, You'll Probably Never Blow One If You Do. Last I Checked They're At An Even $500 For A Fully Loaded 18". Get The Cooling (Which Will Add The P Chamfer As Well), The HiXmCoil, And The Induct Heat Ring. Whether You Want Them Universal Is Up To You, The Voice Coil's Impedance Can Be Changed At A Later Time During A Recone If This Option Is Chosen. And For Damn Sure Get The Daily Option Unless You Just Want To Fart Them At A SPL Comp. Depending On The Amp/Amps, You Can Decide Which Coil Option You Need. There Is No Such Thing As Overkill In A Subwoofer, These Options May Seem Unwanted, But With Them, It's Highly Unlikely...Let Me Rephrase That, Impossible, To Blow Them With Any Power You Could Throw At Them, Unless You Have A Stetsom 7kd Or Something Like That On One.

What DID Happen With The SMD Anyway?

I Had An 18" Q Before My BL, And Yes, It Sounded Wonderful. But I Highly Prefer The BL To My Musical Tastes, And When I'm Ready To Actually Build My "SQ" Vehicle, I WILL Go With 4 Q 18"s. That Being Said, The Q I Had Was A Great Bottom Octave Monster, But Fell Off Quite A Bit In The Top-Range That The BL Hits Effortlessly. I Highly Recommend A BL For Rap, And Tuned To 32hz Will Give You Plenty Of Feel And Good SQ For What The Woofer Actually Is. Btw, Fack eD. Horrible Customer Service And Rip-Off Designs With Cheap Parts. The Owner Is A Prick, Too.

This Doesn't Make Any Sense. I've Seen SSD's Kill L7's With The Utmost Of Ease. A Rule For Me Is If You Have To Take It To A Shop, You Shouldn't Have It At All. Quantum Is Childs Play To Me, Never Liked Them. And I'm Sure A Sundown Can Cure Your Problems If You Set It Up Right, And Not Let A Shop Do It. Most Shops Are Filled With Mainstream Brand-Loyal Noobs Anyway.

Use 8 Gauge For The BL. I'd Recommend Knukonceptz. Get You Some Konfused Battery Terminals While You're There. www.knukonceptz.com

Just How Much Of A Royal Pain In The Ass Is It To Go Active With 8 Of These, Or Find A Way To Put A Crossover At 4KHz On Them?

Two Words. Adire Brahma.

Of Course The DP 21"s Bang Harder Than A Solo X, Kicker Sucks. :| (Biased Opinion) I Actually Do Have A Plethora Of Kicker Subs That Are Older Than chit. xD

It Can Fit Anything, Dude. I Get Creative, I Don't Use Factory Speaker Holes. Ever. Any "Car" Can Do Components. I'm Running Passive. And The Vehicle Is In My Avatar And Sig. (A Very Dirty And Muddy 1987 GMC Jimmy At The Time Of Picture.) Update: All I Need Is A Set Of Tweeters. I Will Be Running 8 Mach 5 Audio MLI-65's. 4 In Each Door. After Having Rainbow SLC Comps With A Fi BL 18", I'm Very Anxious To See What The Icon Can Do. And All That Mid-Bass. This Truck Is Going To Be More SQ Oriented Than It Was With The Previous System.

One SAZ-3500D, At Most.

I Need A Good Set For Around $200 Or Two That Are Around $100 Each. It Can Be A Little More. I'll Let You Be The Judge. (Ran Off A SAX-50.4 By Sundown)

1. Kill Who Recommended The Hifonics. 2. Buy The Sundowns. Nuff Said.

Ah, I Heard Exodus Picked Up The Shiva And Tempest From Adire. Guess It's True. If You Can Find Any Ascendant Audio Avalanches, Those Are Great.

...By Seeing Online As The Only Way To Get These Subs Firsthand, And The Amount Of People That Have Them, You Shouldn't Have A Trust Issue. E-mail Scott Or Nick Instead Of The Sales Email And See What You Get.

Promised Pictures Of The 'Yotas. 1983 Hilux "Purple Rain" And 1985 Hilux "Black Ice". Shots Of Collin's '72 Chevrolet C-10 Cheyenne. Jacked Up '83 Is Mine, '85 Is Gonna Be Given To Collin From Myself If He Pays For Both Projects. Both Will Be Hardcore Wheelers, Mine Will Not Be Street Legal, Strictly Tow To Trail Or Bog. Collin's Will Have As Many Speakers And Subwoofers As Possible (Cheap chit.) And Will Be A Street Legal Wheeling Truck Simply Because He Has No Trailer. Shots Of A F'ed Up 12" Hi Tech Subwoofer, Too.

Probably Nothing. Might Sell It. Who Knows, We Could Build It, But It's Highly Unlikely.

You Do Know BTL's Don't Sound Worth A Crap In A "High dB/SPL" Box In Quality Terms Or Daily Driving, Right? I Think You Could Achieve More With Less. 2 BL 18"s With One SAZ-3000D Would Be Better For Now. Btw, I Love BTL's, But If You're Figuring A 34hz Tuned Box Will Produce That, You're Wrong, Even In That Tiny Ass Car. To Achieve That It'd Really Sound Like A SPL Fartbox With No Musicality Whatsoever. Around 37hz-40hz, Or Higher.

:| I'd Get A Sundown 3000D, Nuff Said. Hifonics Is Crap, And Alot Of People Will Agree.

I Don't Understand Your Theory On The 2 BL's Being Better Than One BTL, What Amp Do You Plan To Use? If It's Any Less Than 2000 Watts Then The BL's Will Most Likely Be Louder And More Musical. BTL's Sound Like Crap For Daily Use, Especially When Your Former Daily Driver Had AA Ava's.

'71 Cutlass. And The Interior Is Still Actually Pretty Damn Good, Woodgrain And All, No Dash Cracks.
