How to make two amps compatible?
No need, the plate amp has LPF filter's built in, just connect an RCA cable and go.

Yeah, nothing special just a Y splitter and another RCA cable. I Don't think you need 4 super tweeters either IMO.

ICON Stock?
Why not list the Q, especially since he mentioned SQ? I like Aaron's suggestion on the SSD's as well.

Need Advice
I completely agree. No Im not stuck on 15's. What would be a good pair of 12" subs that could handle alot of power? Define A LOT of power. There's a ton of subs out there that are rated to handle lots of power, you need to choose a sub based on your goals for the system, period. What's wrong with the American Bass 15's you have now, other than the potential box size problem? Can they be ran sealed? Are you trying for numbers to compete? There's so much more to the sub system than the sub that's chosen alone, 90% of the end result is decided by it's installation, which includes the design and implementation of all the components involved and their interaction with the vehicle. You need to figure out where you're really going with it first, then choose your equipment accordingly. Personally, if I were you I'd be looking at two 12's such as BTL's, ZCON's, Nightshades, IA Death Rows, DC Level 4 XL's or Level 5's or another sub that's rated to handle absurb amounts of power. Then you know that fitting the enclosure will be much easier, easier to redesign and change in the future when your tastes or goals change and able to handle the SAZ-3500 or bigger amp. Just my .02

Box build for Bl 12
Looks like copy/pasting the direct link line into the picture insert command should work..... it's the same info I posted in when I copy pasted your lines from your original post to get the pics up....

Box build for Bl 12
yep.... all you need is the HTTP plus the :// thesitename.com/whateverfolders/picture.jpg to copy paste into the button.... you can use the IMG and /IMG too... but it can't have anything but the straight link inside it....

Box build for Bl 12
I noticed in the first post that you also had text there that stated "Shot at 2011-07-12" you can't have that in the link....

Box build for Bl 12
At the top of the editor window there's some buttons.... next to the smiley face there's one like a chain, which is for HTML links.... the one that looks like a polaroid is the one for pictures.... simply copy/paste the picture link into the box that pops down when you press the button.... Make sure you don't have any accidental spaces or characters unrelated to the link at the beginning or end of the text or it will reject it...

amp decision
Out of the three my vote is on the Audioque as well, though I have to admit my opinion is a little biased since I got one for sale, lol.
-
what do you guys think of these..
I think four 10" DCON's is a great way to go as well, and they're ALWAYS the option of upgrading down the road to say four SSD's or BL's and strapping in another 2K amp and really getting crazy with it, lol. Also, that little difference in tuning and may or may not be very audible. What I would do is use a sealed sub setup to find out what frequency the car peaks at, then have one set of ports for tuning to sound good and another set to tune it for getting loud or competing.

Alton's build log
Here's a couple more videos, this time with a real video camera. Quality still sucks cuz I'm trying to get used to the settings on the video conversion software so I'm not trying to upload 400+Mb files. Still working on camera settings too. In the first video the image stabilization was on and it could barely show the subs moving. In the second video it was off and it caught the subs moving decent but couldn't catch anything else moving. I also tried to do a little paper trick on the second video and the camera didn't catch shit there either, so both videos turned out lame IMHO but hey it's just for fun anyway.

what do you guys think of these..
There's a lesson in how the equipment works that needs taught here I believe. Subs don't "pull" power or put a "strain" on any amplifier. Now, that doesn't speak to the impedance the amp is seeing, I'm just referring to the fact that speakers are stupid. They do as they're told and are in no way an intelligent device that uses, pulls or requires power to operate. Now, if you wire any speaker(s) to any amp and the impedance is less than the amp is rated for it will stress the amp, but that has NOTHING to do with the wattage the speaker(s) are rated at. You can put a 10,000 watt speaker on a 1 watt amp and it won't stress that amp any worse than it would a 10,000 watt amp, it just won't get as loud obviously. As long as whatever subs you get have a final impedance that didn't go below 1 ohm it won't matter if they're rated for 300wrms or 2,000 wrms it's not going to stress the amp any differently at 1 ohm. And I'll admit I'm biased, go with Fi....

3 21dp's in a tahoe
Oo yeah I kno but believe me I'm not going to have any problems wit the batts being there Ive worked around batts for some time now agms don't just blow up like a explosion covering them will be good enough I think he meant "missile" as in they could fly around the cabin in the event of a wreck or roll over, that's a ton of weight in those batts. Otherwise, to the forum and holy crap that's got to be insane to sit in. I second the "Hell of a first post" comment, LOL.
