Lol, Thanks. Theres still alot left to be done. I think with the right song and box together there is a 133ish in that. Na, I switched from American Bass. Now running D9's. haha yeah, blew the fuck apart! looking into welding a cage or something. Are those amps doing better for you? I've just been scared of the c/s. A cage would probably be in order if you're having problems like that- unless maybe you want to dump an ass of resin in. The D9's are the ONLY thing i would ever buy from RD, they put out and work great on lower impedances. Do you have any supports in the box? looks like you just have some MDF in there I'd use a couple of allthreads in there, nice and thick

I think you need to do something to with the front end Dom.

Indeed you can, it's a standard 6 spoke basket, nothing special get a Rebasket, or buy a 15" basket, and buy a 15" recone kit. Contact Mark LaFountain, he'll be able to help you out.

we're no CACRAPO

Optima HD65 Beauuutiful home Mark! I bet the pictures don't do it any justice.

What i want to see is 160 @ 20hz you can do it!

A couple decades ago, yes. With today's technology, no. Touche Brad, It's true, but I'm with Jacob, I'm a fan of larger amplifiers.

Big is beautiful Big power takes big amplifiers, it preforms at 12.8v too.

Hah alright, well i'm not a fan of allen wrenches, but as long as it's large, oh well, they tend to strip out for me.

every single allen wrench bolt has stripped out, its horrid, it happened on some of my amps, and fuse blocks

Love em, Might i suggest two things, One; Put a smaller gauge wire hole in it for Meters, or even multimeter pins, also i've noticed just using one bolt to hold large gauge wire is annoying try using one on top and on the side, makes a nice tough fit. Also PLEASE do not use Allen wrench screws! they are the bane of most of our existences, use flat head or better yet Phillips.

I don't see any specs for tuning frequency.

I just need the depth lol, without that i can't design an enclosure . Also I think you should consider bumping up your budget by maybe a 100-200 dollars. Considering two fifteens will be more expensive then a single one, also I think that the Fi x's would be your best bet since they have higher xmax than the 187s and are the same power handling as the 187s.

I thought i posted on this o.0

Pretty much like, i think i have 40 inches wide, i'd like it to be around a foot or a little taller, and length is whatever i need. I have like, maybe 3 feet or more to use for length. Exact measurements would help me out a lot

So cone area is your friend, get us some measurements of the space you're willing to use.

Allow some extra time on the battery, that D3100 isn't anything small 70~ LBS easy.

You might as well buy a whole new set, unless you know where your midbasses and tweeters X-over at.

Well, they're all great options. You'll hear this a lot on here "It's all install dependent", your equipment choice is only one part of your entire system. What kind of car do you have? What upgrades do you have? Big 3, large gauge wire, HO alternator, or multiple batteries? What kind of budget are you trying to stay in? Also what experiences with previous systems do you have?

What you're looking for is called "mounting depth". I don't know off the top of my head, Aaron or Mark should know for sure. IIRC it's around 10 inches, they're pretty big woofers.

all of those are great options you'll just have to flip a coin.

I was actually just getting ready to say.....Hope they're better than the Kompression fittings from Knu. Because those suck ass. But from the pictures, looks like the compression fitting is different. TBH I think it was you! Haha, they look much beefier than the Knu Kompression fitting. but are they 5 dollars just for one? Seems a tad steep, I'd see myself using a lot of those in an install. 6 for the big 3, 2 for +12v, and 1-2 for -12v. I'd rather spend 50 cents to a dollar for some termanals and a Hydraulic Crimper. As far as the price...I found some sites online selling them for >$20 a piece. This site seems to be the cheapest. :X I think a nice set of Hydraulic crimpers and some terminals would be better

I don't think they're too user friendly they need a detailed manual for it . I love their RCA's, i've always gotten quality products from them.

Low inductance makes me happy! mmmm... Powa! I now know Scott is Midas.!
