I thought you could choose to write what you want for status ! only for the text under your pic. For your status, you must post to see it changing !

That's a nice box bro ! I did not know that there were z subs in 12" ! We learn something new everyday on the ssa forums !!!

Congrats ! Nice to know you were with your kids, all happy !

Why do you want such a high tuning for your box ? oooh, sorry : you're on the spl side !!! Do you have budget for 4 Sundown sa12 ? That would be really cool.

OP : you received some good advices here. You must believe them ! If you can listen to some speakers in shops, do it ! If there is too much noise, you can still compare different sets : you will have the same noise in the background for all of them. You're going into the caraudio world : be careful, you will never be totally satisfied with your first setups ! Good luck

I put the 2 wires in the splitter, and then I hook only one remote? It seems simple ! Thanks (the 4th saz 1000 is ordered, the 2nd xcon too)

Hi everyone, I know I've read something about it but I don't remember where, and I can't find it ! One of my friend is running a 15" D1 xcon sub with 2 Sundown saz 1000 d strapped at 2 Ohms. He uses the gain remote. Now he's planning a new build with 2 subs and 4 saz 1000. 2 amps per sub. He will have to use 2 remote, and only wants one. What can he do , what to buy to have only one remote to control the gain on the 2 (2)amplifiers ? Thanks for your help

Good. I like it !

Another happy Xcon owner !!!

You bought your h u and the mic was not in the box. Sure about that ? I've bought 2 h u like this one and there were a mic in both : one from a US internet dealer(indoaudio)the 880 prs and another from a French shop(the p 88rs II). I never tried this t/a thing; maybe one day. I don't feel the need to do it !!! Good luck What's the problem with the alt you ordered ?

nice box. I hope the Civic will handle that ! What amp will you use ? And where will you mount the amps? There's no room left in the trunk !

[quote name='Cablguy184' run the rears off the radio power. To do what ? If you can't ear them, why do you still want them in ? You're adding some speakers that don't sound as good as the front ones, with less power : it can't be a good thing. IMO I tried in my car, and get rid of the rear speaers : I love it !!!

Like Duran told you : go listen to some speakers before anything. Take a look at the ssa store , here. You can find good deals on better equipments.

I thought the ktx 100 was like a small amp for the speakers. Will you use it with a 4 ch amp ? 100 or 125 watts will probably sound the same to your ears.

Make a semi wall, with subs in the trunk facing the back seats. But it will probably be too small!!! Just take off the backseats!

I know it is so hard to wait for what you've already paid! Breathe, try to think about something else!!! Work on your instal, make it pretty ....

2000 (true) watts rms will be enough to run a btl and to be really loud. With the money saved, you can work on a serious enclosure!! Lots of people use 3500 watts for their btl, but it must be for comps, or they know what they're doing with the gain knob. Like they told you, put the yellow top under the hood and watch your voltage. Then you will know if you need another battery, or more. Do it step by step to see the effects of each upgrade. You will just buy what you need.

Hmm the only one i see is for like $500. I'm happy with what the Sae-1200dv2 can do though, and I cant afford to spend any more than the $315 for it anyways lol, even though having an saz1500d would indeed be sick. The bl is rated for 1000 watts rms, so the sae is enough, even if you have a fully loaded bl. You should not feel the extra watts an saz 1500 will provide. If you want to enter spl comps, that can be different.

I think you can use the passive x-over for the tweeters, and the amp or the h u settings for the mids. But you will have to know what you're doing. Do you really like these tweeters, or is it a budget issue ? Maybe you will have different opinions regarding your real goals for your system.

If you are around 13-14.4 volts with engine on, at 2000 rpm, it's good ! 12.5 v with no engine. but if you loose volts on each heavy bass note, you have a problem. I am not an electrical expert at all ! So, keep looking for more informations. I can't understand why people tend to add a second battery before a bigger alternator. I'd love to have some explanations ! Even if I know a second batt is cheaper than a HO alternator, and easier to instal. For the box, take a look at the technical part on the ssa site(click on "home page" at the top of this page) : they have great designs that could work for you. They're also free to download. You can go to the shop and order a custom design if you want. Good luck

Your box looks good. For a first try at designing box, I can only say : congratulations ! Save some money to build the box with 3/4" Mdf. I did not understand why you did not want to use the "official" ssa designs ! You won't be disappointed, they are made to specs. Even in the smallest size recomanded you will love these subs. You have come to a good selection of subs. The Icon is niiiiiiice , you will love it on 1000 watts rms. But, since you're already talking of upgrades, the Xcon may be a better choice. On the same 1000 w it will pound even more than the Icon! Good luck !

Can't you change the title ?

Nice looking car...................for only $2000 ? What a Good deal!! the interior and the leather seem in good shape. What do you have under the hood ? Big power ?

If you can spend what you want, take the most powerful amp, and play it at 4 ohms : it can't be bad for your car. But, understand that you don't need it, 1 ohm is fine for subs !!! For future upgrades, like a 2nd sub, you will be happy to have more power available !

nice system. nice choice of equipments!!! I'd love to listen to those Sundown sa. I've only read good things about them.
