nice installs J-Roadtatts : soooo clean!!! I must show these pics to a friend of mine : will give him ideas for future installs in trunk cars. Thanks:drink40:

People on forums often think "mainstream" as not so good ! As it's been said, mainstream companies make good and reliable products. They might be too expensive though ! Mainstream for you may not be so mainstream for people outside the USA. MTX, JL, Rockford, Kicker,... We're not really used to these brands in my country!! To the OP : remember that L7 15" are rated for 1000 w rms in sealed enclosures and 750 w rms "only" for ported ones. Your MTX amplifier seems to be a good choice. :fing34: To J LFTN : one of my friend has a 4000 w MTX amp like yours : it is really small for so much power! It looks beautiful but has too much lights and things on it. If you don't hide it, it looks like you have a factory in your car !!!

:suicide-santa:Aaah!!!! I understand : he wants it all ! good sound, high numbers on the meter,...

I would stick to what SSA tells you : 28-33 Hz. Tune to 33 and that's it ! Why do you want a higher tuning ? Do you have that box already ?

Keep the faith ! It's starting to look F*!#ing good. The "flush mount" panel is a good idea, for minimal weight. It must be Heavy already!!

Ssf at 15 hz ? If I understand it well, you should only use a small sealed box. If you use a ported box, you should not listen to music with lots of low bass notes. Usually music does not go too low. What do you listen to? What kind of music ?

You'd better look for a 1000 watts amp that is 1 Ohm stable. You will want to upgrade later, for sure :). 500 watts at 2 Ohms for now, and 1000 at 1 ohm for the future. Think about it !

You can buy a good Line Output Converter, and then get any amplifier you want. Don't buy your subs too fast. I'm sure some members can give you better options on box and subs. Take a serious look at the Build Log subforum, you may find some new ideas for your install. Good luck

Nice move ! It means that Sundown is growing. That's good news for everybody!! congratulations !!! :fing34:

Welcome on board ! Nice score ...with "only" 1200 watts on one sub:fing34: !

With your budget you can take a look at the SSA Xcon. A 1000 watts amp will be enough to make the Xcon shine, but it will love to have more : like with an sax 1200 or an saz 1500 (from Sundown). The BL is a good choice too. But I'm biaised to the xcon : I do love mine in a 3 ft3 sealed box, in a ported box it is an insane sub!!! Choose your sub first and then, find an amp.

Do you already have all the ed equipment ? Crossing my fingers... I am a Pioneer guy for HU. I tried a "high end" Alpine once, and I never liked it. Each is own !

Take a look at the ssa store ; they have great packages with the Icon ! But what are you looking for ? Insane bass?! Perfect Accuracy? ... What do you listen to? You seem to have enough room for the right box. Do the big 3 in 0 ga, buy a voltmeter to put in the cabin. Then you will know if you need more electrical upgrades.

:peepwall:ROFL Get 4 Bl's and a custom ported box : you'll love them ! Don't tune the box to high.

so much Aussies here ! Cool ! Good luck with your purchase guys!! At least, you do know they ship to Australia

I agree. The sa's will not like that kind of power for too long IMO. 6000 watts for 4 x 600 watts rms subs (2400 watts rms). Dam..., that's pushing !

a cane corso and a rotweiller ? You don't need house alarm, for sure. They seem to be in good health ! Beautiful dogs !!!

congratulations ! Your doors are really cool !!! (only) After the first pics I started to love them. A lot of people would love to do such mods, but very few know how to !

nice car, nice equipments and nice box !!! I want to see the final result. What's left ? new and bigger rims, and some window tint ?

I always liked carpet. Paint can be so shiny ! I hope you planned some window tint ? Be careful:peepwall:

That's a very positive review !! Must be a very good speaker !

Try the Treo's in with your amp. You will know if you like them or not. Be sure to run them in a good box. Maybe you can make the box eventually, within the smd's subs specs? Don't forget the saz amps are strappable, if you want more power later. I do know some deals are hard to pass by! Good luck, and post pictures of your install if you can !!!

For $390 get a Xcon ! Oooh ! Maybe you were talking Canadian $ ! Dunno

Little update : There is a more powerful alternator under the hood : it was a 80A one, now it's a 120A from the same brand. The voltage is still dropping, but a lot less. It never goes under 12.ish. It's not the best, but there is some progress. Now, we're waiting for one or 2 new batts in the back. We think the big & old Optima blue can still help!

Hum!!! waiting for this one !
