had that problem with the mini cooper... i wanted to use the stock ones, but i sold the speakers...

will it work? we tested it at 12.8v on a 1k hz tone, and it did 300w rms x 2 @ 2 ohm. its rated at 500w x 2 @ 2......that was at 12.8v tho.

0h snap dawg iz y0u f0 r3alz????

what m5? lol also, im tryin to get an idea what size box id be workin with for 5 mts with like 3500ish w rms each?

am i gonna have any issues with that much power? will be running each ma @ 2 ohm, 1 per mt. im thinkin about a 5th mt and 5th ma hk4000d too.

what is swiss cheese style bracing and matrix bracing? who wants to design me a box for 2 18s so i can build it

The box isn't sturdy enough then... im seriously thinkin about buildin a box for 2 18's, down firing, and making the top like double or triple thick, and using it as like a desk/extra large night stand lol. ill do 3/4" mdf all around, and then get some birch and put that as the second layer, so i can stain it to match my furniture. where should the port come out at if i downfire the 18s?

the coffee would rattle off

could you take a vid of you 15 and like walk outside your room and record if it shakes anything?

i would do one, but the amp i have is 700w x 2, and i wanna be able to use all the power

Floor. sorry dude, but i see where hes comin from, no way will rents let him cut 18 inch holes in the floor and dump substantial noise into the rest of the house. thats just obvious. lol. You don't need holes that big, you can mount them in a baffle and have the baffle fire into the house. Sort of a box upstairs with the bottom side facing down into the room. Mount the subs on the outside and you are set. Really common for IB installs. dude, its not gonna happen lol. my dad will not let me. its his house, not mine. when i get my house, i will do it, but until then, i cant

hells ya somehow i get stuck with the small room! theres a movie theater room though...no windows....might put the 2 18's in there, see how they sound i asked him today, theres no attic above the movie theater, so that leaves out that option of some 18's IB in that room....

pics of said chair? jim, i dont have that high of ceilings, in my room at least and yes, living with the rents does suck, but on the flip side, look at the house im moving into.....

lol....im tellin u....theres no way im gonna be able to cut 2 18" holes in the ceiling for subs. its either a huge ass box, built from birch and stained to match my furniture, or nothing. lol what about the subs down firing, so you dont even see the subs?

he wont let me do that...lol hell be like "get ur own house"

so your saying 2 18s ported or sealed with the 700w rms each, or multiple ones IB on that same amp? i doubt ill do IB, were just moving into this house, my dad isnt gonna let me put subs in the ceiling lol

wtf 27!!! how would i do that???

whats IB then? i never understood IB...pics of some IB installs?

i dont know anything about IB. could you explain it? how big of a box, etc? im thinkin about 2 mj18's, ill just keep the gains down, i think theyll be good with 700w rms each, what you think? for like 80 bux each for these 18s, i dont know what other subs i would rather run....

what you guys think? what kinda boxes do MAW-15 or MJ-18 need? can they take more than rated power daily? heres what i have to work with. Behringer EP-1500. its 1400w rms @ 4 ohm i think. this is for rap music, not movies, although once in a blue moon ill watch a movie and might use it. opinions? *EDIT* it is 1400w rms @ 4 ohm (bridged) or 700w rms x 2 @ 2 ohm amp specs: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl....tnumber=248-745
