Frostedflakejake

so after purchasing the BTL i need to beef up the rest of the system. Im riding in a 2004 Ford Explorer. I was thinking two sets of RF T1572 (power series!). WRMS 70 a piece. thinking about powering them with a JL audio J2 320.4 (60 watts to four speakers.) Wondering if anyone had any experience with either of these products and any suggestions for other full range speakers? im looking to spend about 350-400 for 2 sets of speakers and an amp. I know its kinda cheap.... but oh well. The head unit is the Eclipse CD7200 MKII (soon to be that is =] i just want some and any input before i make this purchase!! thanks

would you recommend these over the 1/2" thick dynamat?

i like this =] cool pictures. my BTL has the one in the middle!!

took mine about... 14 to 16 days, i can't remember for sure. I got a call from... Scott i believe on the seventh day saying that a shipment of their magnets was held up in customs. due to the extended period of time, Scott included a free shirt and a free sticker pack! I wasn't even concerned with the fact that the BTL hadn't come yet. I really couldn't be pleased more with the Fi customer service. The fact that Scott took time out of his day to call me AND include the free stuff amazed me. Don't worry, it will come, and if it doesn't, you can always give them a call! But wait a while first!

yeah that won't be a problem. I'm up in the upper peinsula of michigan where its about 34 right now. Last winter it was well below zero on quite a few days and everything still works just fine!! especially with the amp. the only real worry is to allow the subs to warm up for 5 minutes or so before really blasting them. (that's not my intelligence, i asked a similar question to yours on the forum and that's the response i got) But as far as my experience goes, the cold won't effect your amp

wow that's.. interesting. still got my packaging

sweet. good looks guys THANKS

that sucks man =[

Not sure if this is the right place for this, i apologize if it gets moved. So my concern is if sub-zero temperatures have any effect on subwoofers or their electrical counterparts. I know it seems stupid but i want to make sure i don't harm anything. I'll be attending michigan technological university in the upper peninsula of michigan next year where its not un-common for temperatures to reach below zero in the winter. IS there anyway that prolonged exposure to those sort of temperatures could hurt my btl? or my sundown amp? thanks

ha FAIL. honda CBR*

187 MPH on a 2008 Honda CRB 1000RR

the windstars were never made with a honda engine. First generation windstars (1995-1998) either had the 3.0 liter vulcan or the 3.8 liter essex. Now i will say with the first gen windstars there were... a few problems.... but if your's has a honda engine in it, that's not ford motor companies doing. and i like de build

Do you make ported boxes bigger than 5.5 cubes? im looking at about 8 cubes after sub displacement and bracing and polyfill

yes, either the saz2000d or the 3000d (if you set your gains right!! there is a step-by-step process in the electrical section of how to do this) do you know of dr-b??? they sell refurbished sundown audio amps. i'm matching my 18 btl with a saz3000d from dr-b. good luck! post some pictures

i would go with the 3000d. Both are great amps, but with setting your gains right the 3000d would be perfect for your subs and then like the above poster stated, if you ever wanted to expand on your system, you can use the same amp!! its a great buy. dont take them all from db-r!!!! save me one!

Yeah... Fi is a born and bred in america company. Whatever seller told you obviously just wanted you to buy his stuff instead. the company is based out of Las Vegas and has the best customer service i've ever seen. And great sound quality... especially with the Q's... it is their sound quality driver.

there is no way you can blow your glass with just one btl

Kenwood KVT-514 anyone have any experience?? I will probably go with the eclipse mkII myself... but i really think those flip-up ones are pretty cool!!!

and i expect to get multiple Eclipse 7200 MKII statements.

eclipse 7200 mkII in my opnion... i have an alpine 9887 and HATE it but am kind of stuck with it until i finish the rest of my install... i am really glad i got this post, i was seriously considering the 9887. i do hear good things however... why do you hate it if i may ask>

Okay, just for fun and to satisfy my curiosity...... In your opinion, what is the best head unit? Best flip up head unit? by best i mean: sound quality (of course), functionality, easy to use, and lastly; curb appeal and looks.

SSD all the way.

thanks guys!!

follow the "how to set gains" in the Electrical section of the SSA forum. and do everything the above poster stated =] smart guy
