  1. Man, I used to have a '94.. but I can't for the life of me remember the speaker depth. I know its really close, and the way that the cavity in the panel is setup makes it so you cannot use a speaker baffle to buy some more room.
  2. $150 for a set of decent components is totally doable. What will you be powering them with?
  3. You need to go to FI's website and find out what coils they offer. Because.. you can't get the BL's in 4 ohms. Research my friend. Do some of it. You have the basic concept. You'll be wiring the subs in Parallel-Series format. If the subs are wired to 1 ohm... why would the amp be putting out the 2 ohm power rating?
  4. Its a conspiracy. I'll not sit idly by whilst canadia takes over this forum! TO ARMS!!!
  5. Those speakers are joke. Do you have a budget that we can work around?
  6. You need to spend some time learning how wiring subs works. With a dual 1 ohm sub you can wire each one to either .5 ohms or 2 ohms. When you put two of the DVC1 subs together you can wire them at 1 ohm or 4 ohm (also .25 ohms, but hardly any amps can go that low). So you want DVC1 subs so you can get the most possible out of the amp.
  7. he's got a BL.. If they reconed the sub.. did they use the same voice coils you had before? Its possible you wired it wrong and now its at a higher ohm load making the amp produce less power.
  8. Not sure what distros come with the amp kit, but if you plan on going from the 1/0awg main line down to 4awg for the JL and 1/0awg for the sub amp you need to get a distro that is fuseable. As far as the Soundstream amp goes.. I've never personally used it so I can't really comment on that.
  9. Everything looks good. Make sure you get the Dual 1 ohm BL's so that you can wire that amp to 1ohm. Pass on that Stinger kit for sure and get the Kicker one. More bang for the buck.
  10. No. Connect both positives to the amp. And then connect both negatives.
  11. So I'm at work today when I opened this thread. And everyone around me looked up when I said "holy shit" when I got to the motor pic. Is it just me.. or is the motor almost 10" across.
  12. Dude. Don't do either. They circled the problem on the hood. :/
  13. I think I just shit myself.
  14. The amp can be strapped with another 3000D for a final wattage somewhere in the neighborhood of 6kW. There is no "bridging" of Mono (1 channel) amplifiers.
  15. Ewwww why do you want to run Hifonics amps? Check with Excessive Amperage and Iraggi Alternators for some quality HO alts.

    The ICON is an excellent choice. I doubt the combo will go away anytime soon so you should be safe. Welcome to SSA!
  17. Do they teach proper english in Stockton?
  18. There's a proper section for subwoofer and speaker questions.. And this is not it.
  19. Yay another day to showcase the stock Tacoma! ps. We'll need someplace more adventurous than a park though. There are no boulders at the parks.
  20. I'd imagine Fi or Stereo Integrity has a dustcap that will fit the Brahma.
  21. You want to run active with a Stock HU? I think you need to re-evaluate your system right now. Run 2-way passive for now until you can afford a HU with active crossovers in it.
  22. There is a point of diminishing returns on some stuff. BUT If you have a quality pre-amp, amp and speakers. Not to mention playback components... Are you going to run out and buy Walmart speaker and RCA cables? You'll hear the difference at that point. But for your average home theatre owner to go out and buy those and then claim he hears a difference on his $799 bookshelf system is simply a lie.
  23. Email the shop here. They can get you a better price.
  24. What was wrong with the SAE-1000D that Scott recommended? It does 1kw at 1 ohm. And thats about what you need.
