Welcome to the IHoP
Anyone that's on a DIY-oriented site is a snob of some kind, in something. i'm not!!! well, at least i don't think i am. am i? in what way? surely not. or, what if i am? then what? how can i fix it? do i need to? i just don't know anymore. i don't know who i am. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP
i wouldn't call him a snob, just a bit (well, actually alot) more refined then one would usually find one a car audio forum. he's not snobbish in reality and even ate at a local "chain" when here. of course, even i wouldn't call the food there great, edible, but far from great. hell, the waitresses weren't all that either.... and i'm very guilty of the "fast and easy is best" eats...and the gut shows it, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What am i doing wrong?
so, the output you are looking for is outside the vehicle??? like mark touched upon above, what's it like inside the truck? without boost/without boost? and m3s will drop low, they are box dependant, like most subs. hiwever, as mark again touched upon, they are designed more for output rather then quality. that's what their mclass subs are for. or the LVS. so they like to be in peaky boxes, hence the higher tuning. and as mark said, if you're after sound outside the vehicle, all that deadning you installed is the issue. not the subs/box/amp. and if you're after sound outside the vehicle, you need to be at ca.com. sorry bro. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What am i doing wrong?
m3s aren't bad subs, i've done plenty of loud installs with them. but again, IMO, memphis quality has taken a downturn the last couple of years. and the box is about right for them. like helo mentioned, the coils seem a bit off, and with box rise, that could be causing the issue you're having. don't strap those clarions on the m3s. while i doubt they put out a true 1500wrms, they still put out plenty more then each m3 will want. but i would definitely run one on the pair of m3s. for the pair, i'd try a 4.5net@34hz box, between 35-40in^2 of port. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Icon.........8's?
it's an old topic.. but i disagree. in stores, at least around here, you'll be hard pressed to even find an 8 in stock. let alone the most popular seller. no it's 12s and 15s that keep places open. bigger is better, even if it doesn't fit. you surely can't roll up in your hi-boy/donk/bigwheel or whatever your region calls them and pop the trunk and only have 8s to show, can you? hells no. 8s online are much more popular, though very trendy, i'd like to own a ssa icon 8 though. and a mach5 8. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

zx2500 amp draw
x2. also, IIRC, james (dbdrag fellow and team kicker member) said something like 220amps full tilt@12volts on the zx2500. he said they were fairly efficient buggers. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

recones on these?
a bump for this. time's a gettin close to get those ti's reconed. what's the update on Fi getting the needed spiders? also, any idea on pricing? (if shipped to you folks?) will need to gaskets for both as well. and as stout, power handling wise, as possible. thanks ahead of time. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-
recone?
Wait, you bought all this and you don't want to spend the relatively few dollars on subs? Oh and as for your toys... xeleventybillion!!!! if i had that kinda chedder, i could think of a whole bunch of subs that i'd throw in there, and nothing reconed about them. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sundown/Critical Mass Stereo System
where's the term lab pic? for such great products, the install is kinda, well, cheesy. especially the amp side. that's just wrong. but hey, whatever floats da boat, ya know? i'd like to hear one of those subs one day. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What am i doing wrong?
while the pr series of amps aren't the greatest, they will give the power they are rated for. IIRC, they are rated @14.4. it's not a bad budget 1000wrms amp. have you put a dmm on the coils, made sure they are what they are supposed to be? is the box leaking? there are so many things that could be wrong, but without a bit more detail, it's going to be hard to completely answer the question. also, are you comparing the output of two subs vs the one? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

subwoofer wiring
anything from a optima yellow top to a batcap800 would work. also, the batcap800 would work under the hood, but it's not cheap. i'll get links later..... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
