Posted November 13, 201014 yr i seem to come and go thru some much car audio im never happy right now i have 95 blazer 4 dr 2010 15inch mojo d2(1750 rms) hifonic brutus bxi2010d db link 4 gag dual 7 inch flipout infinity pf 2 channel amp 4-way 6.5 pioneer(front) 3-way 6.5pioneer (rear) stock batt stock alt big 3 in 2 gaug looking to sell mojo to get new subshow does 1 or 2 18 ssd's compare to the mojosq and spl wise local dealers couldnt give me a clear answeri want the ssd's because of the price and the fact it will match up with my amp(2000 @ 1 ohm about 1700-1850 at 13v)need anymore info let me know
November 14, 201014 yr While definitely taking up more space than the single 15"... you will be significantly louder in the proper enclosure/tuning with the pair of SSD18s.Thanks,Scott
November 15, 201014 yr Author well how would 1 ssd 18 compare 2 the mojo im not looking to get the bt or btl cause its other my price range and if i get the ssd i could buy 1 now and then the other later
November 15, 201014 yr This vs. that threads don't work, know why? There are WAY too many variables to take into account to know which is better.OP: Please state your goals, budget, vehicle, electrical system, musical preferences, etc. so we can make a good recommendation.
November 15, 201014 yr While definitely taking up more space than the single 15"... you will be significantly louder in the proper enclosure/tuning with the pair of SSD18s.Thanks,ScottThat is the breaker of the system. Either learn to build a good one or find someone who can. I don't know if I would trust the shop that doesn't sell the product you want an enclosure for.
November 15, 201014 yr whats ur box looking like? the box is a key item to ur system it will make it or break it. id stick with the mojo cause its a good sub with major potential. i'd save up money n sale the hifonics and get a better amp, saz-1500 or a saz-2500 sundown is a major step up from hifonics. and upgrade electrical
November 17, 201014 yr Author i just wanna know if in the proper enclosure with beening suppled the right amunt of power could the ssd 18 out perform a memphis mojowhat kinda sub is the ssd 18.....whats its main purpose....can it handle abuseand whats with everyone saying ssds are on backorder?@duran the only problem with that is you get ppl giving your there dream wish list not taking into considering that person budgetthe electrical thing is not a problem and i was looking at the aq1200 amp@almone the current box i have is 3.5 cf i 4got what its tuned to i believe mid 30s i was gonna get a bigger box build like this 1 at this link for 95
November 17, 201014 yr The SSD is build to be a tough daily driving woofer above entry level like the X. They are no longer on back order, Fi got the magnets in.
November 17, 201014 yr Author and the guy im talking to at the shop is a MEMPHIS DEALER he warships the mojo he said the guys who bring fi products in never power them they way they should so they always end up beening unhappy
November 17, 201014 yr have you passed the 3rd grade? Your typing skills are horrible.Was thinking the same!
November 17, 201014 yr I cant say a Memphis 15 vs SSD18 which would be the better bet. SSDs are 800W RMS vs 1750 for the Mojo. I would not want to see an SSD powered with 1750W. A pair of SSDs WOULD be louder than the single 15 in their proper enclosures. I have no doubts on that one.SSD is a solid daily driving sub that is a huge leap up from the X series. It was our original "entry level" sub, but was very far from entry level. 3" coil, solid suspension and fairly abuse tolerant. A pair of SSD18s would be a huge improvement in output vs the single 15". But they need to be in the correct enclosure.Thanks,Scott
November 17, 201014 yr have you passed the 3rd grade? Your typing skills are horrible.Yours are not that great either,you started a sentence with no capital. Stop trying to put people down,he did not ask you for a lesson in grammar and you did nothing to answer his question.
November 17, 201014 yr Author typing doesn't not determine ppls IQ level...smh...you really think someone is going revise a pucking forum post..if something i have wrote is not spell right i would hope you grown ass men have enough sense to figure out what im getting at...@FI CAR AUDIO im going to get 1 ssd and a second later on my question is whats the ideal enclosure for this sub to perform well this well be a daily driving system so im looking for a nice deep clean bass more sq then spl also what would be the ideal enclosure specs for 2 18 ssd i have a 4 door blazer and would like to keep the back seat and just use all of the trunk area

You buy their product along with technical specs as far as enclosure volume and tuning for daily, then make a separate post in spl / sql fabrication for help on the actual box design and your vehicles inside measurements, then everyone else can chime in and help.
November 18, 201014 yr If you can fit 15 cuft after port and driver and tune it to 30Hz it will make for a clean sounding system that will love to play deep. We recommend 12-16 sqin of port per cuft of enclosure... So at 180 sqin (a 40X4.5" port) the port would be 17" long.Thanks,Scott

I just cant afford to keep replacing light bulbs and the dishes I keep breaking from the bass.

So at 180 sqin (a 40X4.5" port) the port would be 17" long.Thanks,ScottI agree with Scott, I have mine in 13.5 cubes (6.75 in seperate chambers) at 26 hertz, and it is wicked! The response peaks at around 45 hertz, though, due to airspace limitations, but overall, it digs very deep. Even in the mid teens I can knock stuff off my shelves and counters in my house (and my neighbors' houses) with ease. Edited December 1, 201014 yr by The SSD Madman
December 1, 201014 yr So the lower the hertz the deeper and quicker response or how does the hertz work? Edited December 1, 201014 yr by dgrubbs
December 1, 201014 yr So the lower the hertz the deeper and quicker response or how does the hertz work?The lower the enclosure tuning the more output you'll get on the lower end and less on the top and vice versa.That's why most SPL fart boxes for competing are tuned super high because they burp a higher frequency tone (example: enclosured tuned to 50hz and burping at 55hz or whatever)
December 1, 201014 yr Or you could plan on 2 15" SSD's. You could buy one 15, try it in the enclosure you have now for the Mojo (that is, if it's volume is around specs for the SSD) and compare it to the Mojo. If you like it, you can order your 2nd SSD and start your new box for the 2 15's Less space than the 18's, and I'm sure the output will still be quite a bit more than the single Mojo.
