Posted September 27, 201113 yr But what subs should I look at? Ill be running 2 Mmats 2000.1d's . Supposedly rated at 2000@1ohm rms. I know the slightly older d2000.1s were rated at 1500. I dunno.Its a 1995 z28 . My son wants to do an spl car next year. I have no issues losing my cargo area or back seat.
September 27, 201113 yr Author How much space do you have to work with? measurements?about the same as this guy with less expertise
September 27, 201113 yr Budget for subs? Budget for electrical upgrades ie. Batts, alternator, wire etc?
September 27, 201113 yr Author Budget?It depends really. Ill probably snag something used. I was looking at DC XL 18s but after reading around I'm not sure Id have the power so I'm kind of looking at some AQ hd3c's. I looked at sundowns but I don't think an sa18 could take 2k daily. I like SSA products but there's no way Im gonna drop that kind of money for a set of Zcons and the xcon is really not exactly what Im looking for, an spl sub.There are just so many feakin options.Take your pic of any driver(s) on the market.Id rather find a good match for my amps than blindly grabbing something randomly and either overpowering or barely pushing some subs.
September 27, 201113 yr Author Budget for subs? Budget for electrical upgrades ie. Batts, alternator, wire etc?The budget for electrical is irrelevant. This build has no time limit. The alternator gets purchased next month. Im hoping to find matching power wire somewhere before Im finished with the install. I really like the stinger expert. If nothing presents itself Ill probably switch over to excelene. We have planned for a starter battery and 2 in the hatch. They will probably be optima YT. I can get a screaming price on them.Liek i said. The subs will likely be used. Reconing is not an issue.
September 27, 201113 yr something like a pair of fi bl's with options, or btl's. \could save some cash on wire and get welding wire, weldingsupply.com
September 27, 201113 yr lol. i thought you were saving weight? should have bought my nightshades. good luck bro!
September 27, 201113 yr Author how far do you want to go? i have a few ideas dependingYeah. I kick myself in the ass daily for not getting the nightshades when I had the cash. We got rid of the 3500 , decided we wanted to do something loud and bought the 2 2000's. We pretty much decided wed do what we could this year. We talked about wight and passengers then we decided to give up the back seat for a year. I know this is kind of far fetched......I have no idea if we'll have the power..... I wanna do a 150Had a bathroom break that cost a ton and its slowing us down but Im almost done with the repairs.
September 27, 201113 yr if you want to keep the back seats you could do something like this.this was the first idea for mine with 2 10s on 3k. this box would sin on the hump behind the seats.
September 28, 201113 yr Author if you want to keep the back seats you could do something like this.this was the first idea for mine with 2 10s on 3k. this box would sin on the hump behind the seats.Im trying to visualize how your saying this fits. Like on the rear deck, behind the seats but leaving the ttop hole exposed and subs firing forward?
September 28, 201113 yr To hell with USED check out the screaming good deals on the Incriminator Audio Death Penalty series from the SSA Store "Black N Blue Sale"!
September 28, 201113 yr Author amps just got here. Identical models different colors. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet. They were sold as a pair and my understanding as per our phone conversation led me to believe they matched.
September 28, 201113 yr That's weird, lol what colors?Also, a pair of BL's on 2k would be loud! Good luck.
September 29, 201113 yr Author yes. it sits right behind the rear seats and in front of the t top pocket.How much airspace were able to get with a box like that? I know I can get 3.5 behind the rear divider.
September 29, 201113 yr This box I had designed at 3.0 cubes net after all displacements. You could make it bigger or smaller. I
September 29, 201113 yr To hell with USED check out the screaming good deals on the Incriminator Audio Death Penalty series from the SSA Store "Black N Blue Sale"!Something to think about... just don't think too long.
September 29, 201113 yr Author To hell with USED check out the screaming good deals on the Incriminator Audio Death Penalty series from the SSA Store "Black N Blue Sale"!Something to think about... just don't think too long.nah. Im done thinking about amps right now. I called Mmats and I can at least get a top plate that matches. I'm pretty sure 4kw is okay for what I wanna do.
