Posted April 12, 201015 yr It's been about 2 years, since I have had any bass due to lack of time and money.

April 12, 201015 yr Author Where did you find the DC amp? I dont see them anywhere.It's a secret and I would have to kill you if I told you...Na, I got it in a trade for my IA40.1, which was blown.
April 13, 201015 yr Author cool vid ... nice ride ... Thanks man. Once I finish tweakin everything, I will get some flex vids up.You guys think a 135amp alt is enough for a 2200w rms amp?
April 13, 201015 yr It will come down to what electrical upgrades you have in the car, hopefully the Big 3 and a spare battery may help. But the only way to tell is to install the amp and a voltmeter and monitor your voltage then make an assessment from there depending on your voltage drops.

April 14, 201015 yr Where did you find the DC amp? I dont see them anywhere.You can contact Rusty at DC and iquire about them. They are a basic Zenon built amp that Rusty had made for the European customers.
April 15, 201015 yr Author lol, I have issues. I am already considering a 7cuft box with 4 4"x17" aeroports.... it would basically be the same box I have in there, except deeper. That would mean no back seat for the kids. The catch is that we always drive my wife's car as a family anyways....and I can always just keep the sealed box. Plus, if I go ported, I would upgrade to BL's or subs with similar specs and output.Thoughts?
April 15, 201015 yr Definitley going to be louder by going ported and going to the BL's will be even louder.
April 15, 201015 yr Author Yezzirrr! the more I think about it, the more I have to do it. I will start the build next month. I figure with 4 Q15's, I should be able to sell them and get enough cash for a pair of BL's... Oh why oh why did I have to come back to this addiction??? I was sober for so long!

I was sober for so long!If it were me I would try the "Q"'s in a ported enclosure. I think you will be surprised at the increased output. Not designed to be a spl or high output driver, but by putting it in a ported enclosure you will see another side to this great woofer. Just my .02!

Just my .02!Yes, that is exactly what I am doing, an then I can switch them out with BL's later, but ultimately I do want to upgrade to a pair of BL15's.What do you guys think of maybe doing a single BTL 18" on 2K RMS. 8 cubes tuned to 32hz. I think the pair of BL15's would push more air on 1k rms each.
April 15, 201015 yr Both would move the air quite well! 2 15" in a recommended enclosure will have more output due to increased cone and motor over the 18".
April 15, 201015 yr Author Yeah that's true, plus I would already have the box ready to drop a new pair of 15's in.

I never seen them before, not even on the site.
