good choice!

Anyone ever deal with this ebay store, and for the most part, is it safe to buy a recond R.F amp?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ROCKFORD-FOSGATE-T2000...1QQcmdZViewItem

both drivers will be wired together for a 1ohm load.

If I need to save up more for the R.F T20001db amp I will, however the AQ2200D is really half the price, so this is why im having such a hard time deciding. Whatever amp I choose will be powering 2 18" Fi BL's fully loaded. I can bet that the R.F is the "better" amp (not power wise, but overall quality too) but if a 389$ amp will slam just as good, I dont know? HELP!

I was always told that an EFFECTIVE ground should always be as short as possible. I wouldn't ever run a ground back to the front again, that is just to long.

appreciate the reply, I see the UPS label now, and it shows just what you said. Thanks

I took delivery of my 2 BL 18 2 days ago, and no where do I see a sheet with them saying they indeed do the options that I chose. Hell, I didnt even get a reciept. I ordered my 2 drivers fully loaded, however NOT universal, and NO SPL option... Is there a way I can tell by looking at the sub?

The honest side of me says call them, make them aware of the shipping error, have them send you a pre-paid label for shipping (this way no money out of your pocket, and UPS/FEDEX will come to the door to pick it up!) however, the other 97% of my mind, says keep the son-of-a-bitch! and rock on with it

Your box for the BL 15 should be 2.8-4CuFT, tuned to 30-37Hz according to Fi's website.... Why is it though, that when ever someone asks a question like, "Should I get a BL, or a MMats dreadnught 15 for example, the replies always seem to say, "JUST GET A BTL" Why dont the BL's get any love? I have 2 18" BL's setting in there box next to me, and there beasts. I could have gotten the BTL's sure, but I couldn't afford to buy an amp to power them effectively.

PICS!!!!

The big brown truck dropped off my 2 18's BL's this afternoon, and HOLY SHIT, these are the biggest drivers i've ever had. I really like how the tinsel leads are built into the spider assembly, and the foam surround IS HUGE AND THICK! I absolutely can not wait till I have the funds to buy my amp's, and more 1/0ga Cables to finish this up. I'm starting to have a collection of parts in my garage now waiting.....These 2 subs, 2 kinetic batts for rear, my HUGE ASS 16CuFT ported box that I made, 25ft spool of 1/0ga wire (getting another spool shortly) and to top all this off, I got laid off my job today ....................So now this project that should have been finished by the end of next week, is now on the back burner....fu*k!

In a car that size, wouldn't you want to "WALL" more then 2 subs? I mean, if done right, should knock real good, but why take all that space for 2 15's? Not trying to knock your idea, but just wondering.....

BIGIII will be done during the 4th of july weekend. Gives me something to do, as I cant stand spending time with the family and kids............

Ok, so I take it that a CAP would do me NO good then?

should I still use a CAP or are 2 of these batts plenty?

no sir, just a GM upgraded 130amp alt factory installed on the Hoe. Hell, and for the record, I haven't even done the "BIGIII" yet.....

Well, I ordered 2 of these. Got them for 109 each, I thought that was a great price, and I dont have to pay for them for 90 days interest free. These 2 batts should only help me I would think? So I dont think I went wrong with this purchase. Now here is my last question; Is it harder on the ALT the maintain the charge for 3 batts, or might it be easier on the ALT now with 3 batts, as it wont have to maintain the 1 batt that gets beatin on consistently. Also, my loaded Voltage while slamming my current stereo is 14.1v, will this voltage drop some as the alt will have 3 batts to maintain, or stay the same? I idle without stereo slammin @ 14.4-14.6 if it matters. Thanks everyone, I can't wait to have my new stereo up and running.

Will the 2 of these help, or wont do anything for me? I can get 2 of these for 280shipped to my door in 3 days

Looking for 2 batts for the ass end of my tahoe, and came across these (Kinetik HC800 High Current) I can get them for 118each, is this a good price, and will these help if I keep my stock alt which is 140amp. I just dont have the funds for a new alt now, and was basically hoping that these 2 batts would help? I'll be powering a AQ2200D amp, and my 2 18" Fi BL's. I have a yellow top under the hood, and I'll run 2 leads of 0/1gauge friom the alt, to the new batts if it helps at all. Thanks

excellent, thanks bud.

Thanks guys for the replies.

13.25x17 = how many square inches? Appreciate your input please, and thanks

Yes, I will have 1 or 2 batts in the rear, so what im talking about IS POSSIBLE? Would it be better this way, or NO? Cause my other thought is this: If I use both alts, that is a combined amperage of 430Amps, so maybe this is the better way to go. I just have no idea how to wire this bitch in.

Well, I emailed Dom, and about 2 minutes later I had a response (damn that was fast) I think what im going with is a Dual ALT braket, and his 300amp alt, to run "WITH" my stock 130amp alt. Does this sound logical, and how would I wire it? Would I just keep the stock alt "left alone" and wire the 300amp alt to my amps and extra batts? Here is my understanding of electrical, "I leave it alone, and it leaves me alone!" Everytime I do electrical somehow or someway be it either home or car, I get shocked. Doesnt bother me, however one day it is going to bite me hard!......... Does anyone know how much the dual alt braket costs around?

thank you, can someone tell me if this is the correct direct replacement alt for my tahoe... It comes factory with the 130amp, and the stock replacement part number is 8237, and this Iraggi alt say it is compatable, but want to ask here first. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/300-amp-Ira...itemZ7955208394
