is it worth it
This is probably the truest thing when it cones to car audio in general. It's like picking an engine before you even know what car you're going to get.

Anyone into Yoga?
Xanax? lol Was on that about 8 years ago. I don't like pills and I see medicine as an excuse to be lazy and take care of yourself. Marijuana? haha, Prop 19!

amp issue
.5 OHMS IS NOT SUPPORTED 100% WHY WON'T ANYONE LISTEN! FUCK You realize you're pulling huge amounts of current! Your electrical is not big enough to support .5 ohms. If you look at a data sheet you can see that as a transistor gets hot it has a lower current rating... running an amp at a lower impedance increases the current passing through the transistors, heating them up, and progressively lowering their ability to handle the current until something fails. Dropping an amp to 1/2 ohm doubles the output current (up until the amp just can't put out more at least) and makes everything less efficient so the power supply in turn draws more current, often times inducing more voltage drop which calls for MORE current to maintain the same output level - again, turning into a cycle if it continues until something fails. Many amps are robust enough to handle this pretty well - but the more you push the amp and the more clipping that goes on you get closer to realizing the impedance chart I posted above for a square wave which can drop down VERY low. That sort of thing can destroy even a very robust amplifier design when you are already running at 1/2 or less of the rated impedance load. It all started with SPL competition... where you play ONE sine wave at a known impedance so you can get away with a really low nominal load. That is all well and good, but music is not a single sine wave - you do not know what the impedance curve can do and it CAN drop below the nominal load, unlike "common knowledge" on the forums may tell you.

btl 18 cuts out at high volume HELP!!!!!!
Does the amplifier run down to 1 ohm in the first? and are you sure you got dual 2's and not dual 1's? if they are indeed dual 1's you would be wiring down to .5 ohm. The amplifier only accepts 4 gauge wire... for a 2,000 amplifier you would expect to get 1/0.. I would consider getting a reducer. This will allow more current to your amplifier.

carpet or fiberglass
BUT! It'll only make the enclosure slightly, you will need 1 Lb of Polyfill per Ft^3. You won't get much back.

Create more AC AMPS?
Yes it should, you'll have more of a reserve to take from instead of your battery being discharged, then your alternator filling it back up. What alternator do you have in your car? Stock? HO? You could add a MLV or a VCM to keep your voltage higher.

Buzzing through speakers
On my old Iphone 3g my old Alpine deck would sometimes start to buzz, i just got a longer USB cord and put it further away from my HU and that solved the problem. Well, its not USB, it plugs ino the back of the headunit. Whatever the connection is, i don't know. Oh you have a proprietary end of the plug, i see.

Buzzing through speakers
Is it through 3.5mm headphone jack? Then that's your problem! The cause of this buzzing has to do with GSM's "time division" nature. With GSM the RF transmitter is turned on/off at a fast rate, and that 'pulsing' is often picked up by nearby devices that don't have good RF shielding. In the case of GSM the pulse rate is 217 Hz, which can be easily heard." Check your grounds and try turning your phone onto Airplane mode.

New box builder
Hey Variana, Please don't bump your threads constantly. Why don't you just use aeroports again? Nothin' wrong with them, I've always seen in trucks subs forward port up.

USB lousy sound quality?
if you're ripping into itunes make sure you go to Edit > Click General tab, then Click Import Settings > Under Settings use the drop down menu and select custom> On the drop down box under Stereo Bit rate it should say numbers from 64-320, for the most sound quality select 320. It'll take up more space but you'll never hear the difference, Usually cd's are 256.
