    Lookin to start off big huh? Ive gone through a lot of systems and subs and Im just getting into something as nice as the BTL. If you dont know already you are venturing into a high spl sub, pretty crazy choice for your first system and install. If you must then you can order those from ficaraudio.com If I was just starting my first system and I liked a lot of bass, I would start small especially if Im installing it myself. The SSA store is a good place to start. A couple of 10" or 12" icons or dcons and an saz1000 would be good.
  2. X2. Those wheels set it off nicely. Love a black ride too.
  3. Why start another thread when you have one already on the same thing?
  4. Lookin good so far. What kind of car is that? I thought it might be a minivan by the first pic but after that I dont think so.
  5. I don't think you will need extra processing on the low notes with your setup! 4 Icons, or 4 Xcon 18's will give you more than enough, at low lovels, at high levels even more!!!!!!!!!!! Don't you all think so?! Yes. I can imagine 4 18" Xcons will be fine with the proper electrical. Ive seen your build log and it looks like you are on the right track. Hook up the xcons first, see how it sounds and go from there.
  6. 4 18 BTL's and 10000 watts doesnt sound anything like sq. I dont know much but I know that. Maybe you just got those two words mixed up? No I don't have it mixed up. I've had big system before and they have to sound like crap. But I think we are missing the subject. What is the opt. Size enclosure for these subs. OK well then go with what FI says. About 5-10 cuft at around 32hz for daily if I remember correctly.. I see most people putting them in 7-8 cuft. But 10000 watts doesnt sound like daily so probably tune higher in the 40's or 50's. Ok, thanks. I think I'll try 6cu. Per woofer tuned at@ 26hz. I'll be firing the woofer and port upward in a 92 suburban. What's your thuoghts? Are you doing this for competition? If you are I dont think tuning that low will get you very good numbers. If its for daily (which is gonna be LOUD) its recommended to tune in the low 30's. Ive seen port and sub up before and it seems like it works fine but most of what I see is sub up and port back.

  9. So I switched the 50.4 and the 125.2 around today. The 50.4 sounds even better on my 6x9's. This is the best they have sounded so far switching through 4 amps. I cant imagine it will overheat anymore cause I also put my seat down again and the air will flow right over it. The sub doesnt sound as loud as it did before but it has less power now so go figure. Not worried about it though as my new Z15 will be coming soon to replace the polkmomos and I will go back to using a class d amp. Cant wait for that somma bitch to get here!
  10. So Im chillin with my nephews watching some MTV and I see this girl on the show. Is it me or is this girl fine as hell with a mouthpiece to boot? I tried to find her real name but no such luck. I saw her spit a rhyme when Pharrell and some other rapper went to the factory and it wasnt too bad for a little white chick. Does anybody know her name? Does anyone know where I can find her? Bwahahahahhahahaha! For real though, where the hell do little white chicks like that learn how to rap like that?
  11. Welcome holmes.
  12. Well I just bought 2 of them last night and a 30 sqft package of damplifier lite. Dont know how far I will go with the doors so I just bought a little to check it out. I'll try one in each door for now and go from there. I cant wait to see how they sound!

    I do...gives you exactly what you want and very little of what you dont.
  14. x2. I like to super set my shrugs. They will build traps like nobodys business. I did them with the smith machine straight up and down. Then some dumbells palms in. Straight to the cables from the floor. A few steps back with arms in front then arms behind. For the neck, its a little unorthodox but a 5-10lb plate on your forehead with a towel in between. Lie flat on the bench with your head hanging over and lift your neck up and down. Its weird for some but works.
  15. Man what are you trying to do to me? No I dont need it. But yes I really want it! 1/0 gauge terminals with 1500 watts?! I guess they are a little power hungry eh?
  16. Holy shit! This has got to be some of the funniest stuff Ive read here yet! My favorite is the guy doing bench 3-4 times a week and he is doing the same exact workout everytime. Just plain ole flat back. No variation whatsoever for like 3 months...till he gets hurt. And the screamers. I call them the screamin eagles. Or d-bags for short. Its usually just 2 or 3 guys that all have headphones on and yell at each other because their deathmetal is blaring in their domes. Not that I dont like a little Slipknot or Pantera while Im lifting myself but shit man...get a clue. And the worst. The guy who sweats all over the machines with no towel in sight. Then procedes to sweat on the drinking fountain as well. Phuck man! Its ridiculous.
  17. I've seen the 125.2 combo with an icon or dcon on the ssa site so that's why I thought it might work.
  18. I have it bridged to each vc seperately @ 4 ohm. I put my seat back up to have more room and shortened the amp board to fit it behind the seat. Would have to reconfigure setup again to use monoblock due to space restrictions. Would it be better to use the 1 channel to each vc from the 125.2 to the sub and bridge the 50.4 the 6x9s? Its not a permanent solution but temporary cause I need tunes for a 3 hour ride.
  19. Yeah seriously. Why do you guys need to waste money on vitamins and minerals that you get from your everyday foods? To get bigger? Stop being a vagina and work out a little harder. Wow. So much insight to your post. You and M5 should stick to car audio where your vast, overwhelming knowledge gives you the right to bash people and their ideas even if they only want help. Of course what else is one to do when they are of a superior mind? I beleive it says be respectful of others goals and share some of your experiences. You did neither. You failed to read my whole post...there you go I highlighted what you need to read Right. I must have missed that in your one sentence. Not everyone can get all those vits and mins through their diet alone. Hence the word supplements. And why do you even care what people take and dont take? Its fine if you dont like or take them. Thats what makes everybody different.

  21. I have an SAX50.4 bridged to a dual 4ohm sub. Tuesday at the end of my 3 hour commute the amp shut off. I thought I fried the speaker but 10 min after the amp shut off, it worked again. I had already stopped when I turned the stereo on again and the amp was hot to the touch. This is the same thing that happened with another small amp that I had but it was 2 channel bridged. Except it shut off after about 30-45 min. I have an SAX125.2 running two 6x9s right next to the 50.4 and it hasnt ever shut off since Ive had it. Doesnt get hot either. They are both screwed to a seperate piece of 3/4 mdf behind the back seat agaisnt the side of the box. Ive also had 2 other amps in the place of the 50.4 which never shut off either. They were both monoblocks over 1000rms. Why do these multichannel amps get hot and shut off running the same sub but not the monoblocks? My other thread is "amp cuts out".
  22. Nitrotech is by far the worst tasting protein I have ever tasted. I get so many of their sampler packets that I just throw them away. People that I lift with do not even want them because of how disgusting it tastes. It is incredibly expensive and tastes terrible. Great results are to be gained through it though. Wow thats a first for me. Maybe they have fallen off since the last time I used it but strawberry was the shit! Expensive?...hell yes. Horrible tasting?...well I guess we'll agree to disagree. Never tried the strawberry. The chocolate made me want to gag. I never had the chocolate anything for protein powder, bars or etc. Strawberry or vanilla for me. Try it with nonfat milk if you don't take like 3 shakes a day. Too many calories if you do.

    Are u speaking of my reply or the post by JayC76? If its me...try again. Not a single documented case of cancer from MJ. Everything besides air that you breathe into your lungs causes damage, when damage is caused cell's replicate to make new cells. Did you know that cancer is just mutated cells? With all of the genes that cells copy mutations happen. Smoking ANYTHING causes cancer. Inhaling dust, and pollution over long term causes cancer. You sir have been proven wrong. Again, show me documentation for even one case of just one person that has been diagnosed with cancer FROM MJ. We can all say what we believe but without evidence this pretty much goes nowhere. You can't study it for one simple reason...it's illegal. No doctor in their right mind would try to do the study anyways, there is nothing to gain. illegal for some yes but not all. Don't give me that crap about fed law cause they don't do anything to the common person with a medical script. It's major grow operations that they come down on. Nothing to gain from it? That's your opinion.
