Posted September 19, 201212 yr Well, as if two SP4 18's isnt big enough, lolAfter doing measurements I have enough room for 3, so I just ordered another one. So now I have time to build a new enclosure and not have any down time which is cool. I ordered another Dual 1ohm. So now becomes the question of amp and ohm load choice. After looking at my wiring options I think it will work perfect. For at least a couple months I need to run all three off this one Crescendo BC5500. Which I actually think will be ok for now and get loud. Three dual 1's will wire to a .67ohm load which I think that will be fine if I'm thinking correctly and hopefully put out close to 2000 watts per sub. My electrical is very stable now with the 370amp alt and 4 D3400's and I will add a couple D3100's too if need be.So my future options are..............................* Add another BC5500 and wire to 1.5 ohm which will put a .75ohm load to each amp. Roughly 11k- 12k watts total (3500-4000 watts each ) This seems like the ideal and effective option.*Sell my 5500 and find a large amp that will do 9k at 1.5ohms? DC 12k maybe??*Sell my 5500 and find a large 10k amp and run it at .67 ohm load daily? Either way this bitch is fixing to get loud!! I will be walling the truck with 19 cubes net tuned low at 30-31hz. Three subs across bottom and port across top. I have 60in of width so they will be straight and evenly spread across which should be unique. This box will also be all Baltic 13ply Birch. I am not too concerned with numbers but the truck does a 150 now and does it low. But I will be looking to do 152's on music in the 30hz range. Sounding very good is my main goal, Hopefully the truck will hold up. LOL
September 19, 201212 yr Strapped at 1.5 so .75 each on the 5500's.If the one can take .67 daily then you should have no problems running two...Damn I can't wait to be loud...
September 19, 201212 yr Tuned in! Bring that biotch up to Indy for finals so I can hear before the rebuild!!I would start putting money back for repairs to the doors, latches, window seals/windows, & roof....LOL
September 19, 201212 yr Author Tuned in! Bring that biotch up to Indy for finals so I can hear before the rebuild!!I would start putting money back for repairs to the doors, latches, window seals/windows, & roof....LOL I will, I doubt they would get here before then. If for some long shot reason they get here before then I will have the wall in. Whats nice is this will be built next week in my garage. When the sub arrives I will just swap it all over and add the beauty panel. I just need to go ahead and do more runs of 2/0 so Im ready for the extra amp when I buy one. Rear window seal is already going now and if I play it while its raining water comes in. Its pretty mean to the truck now.
September 19, 201212 yr no one has said it yet BUT.... your nuckin futs bro!!! And I can't wait for you to get it done..... If I had a job, the things I would do.... lol ....

September 19, 201212 yr Fi still uses .7 ohm coils right? If you paralleled the coils then seriesed the sub's you'd have a 1.05 ohm final load
September 19, 201212 yr Author Popular Post Why did you chose to go with SP4s?Because I ran a Q 15 and loved it, then stepped up to two Q 18's and loved those aswell. Even the day I ordered the Q's I wish I had stepped up and bought the SP4's. So I quickly sold those and bought what I wanted.With the 4in vc, low fs, high Xmax and big power handling I knew this is what I wanted. The Sp4's sound just as good as the Q line but doing in a MUCH stronger fashion. These subs are low end monsters and that was my goal. My truck does the same db at 28hz as it does at 40hz and will peak around 34, all within a 1db range Edited September 19, 201212 yr by swift

September 19, 201212 yr Is it ghey is I love you swift? ... also, I may have a boner for Lance, Randy, BigJon and a few others on here.... Epic builds
September 19, 201212 yr Fi still uses .7 ohm coils right? If you paralleled the coils then seriesed the sub youd have a 1.05 ohm final loadFor the SP4 they use .65/1.27 coils. All other lines still use the .7/1.14 other than the oddball IB3 coils. Edited September 19, 201212 yr by dbsupra

September 21, 201212 yr Author May tune this one alittle higher at 32, damn cant decide. Was also looking to see if I had room for a 4th order but I think a pure wall would be louder.....Gonna be getting wood tomorrow and maybe start this weekend. Guess I need to start a new build log, lol
