I don't see you having a problem if it's 21 cu.ft. That's 7 cubes per sub which should be plenty for any of the subs you mentioned.

I'm looking for some "massive bottom end"...the SSD is where I'm leaning right now just because off all the GREAT things I hear about Fi...and it's cheaper

You could probably pull off 3 12's AND a dead hooker.....das a biiiiig trunk. :ph34r:

Still searching for my ideal 800 watt RMS sub...found a deal on dealcostcaraudio.com that has the L7 12 for $200. Which would you guys go with? Just looking to get some opinions from people who have heard more than I have.

Hemi is short for hemispherical, because the combustion chambers are of hemispherical shape. What was the engine used in a 1969 Camaro SS?

:lol: :lol:

He has a point. While I don't usually stay up on the celebrity gossip, I think most of the shit in the news is hilarious. Gets old after a while, but hilarious nonetheless. Show's like VH1's Celebrity Rehab really piss me off though. Taking washed up celebrities and turning them famous again because they're drug addicts. What a concept....I just don't watch it though. I'm sure there's plenty of people that do.

2 of my buddies did a lip singing performance of Enrique Iglesias' "Hero" last year for Spanish class. By far one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

I say more power to the people that can make more than I'll ever make while on crack. They gotta be doing something right.

Anyone here from around the Rochester NY area? I never hear anyone bumpin that hard so just wondering if there's some members around here. I'm personally from Greece, goin to school at D'youville College out in Buffalo right now.

Noobtastic has a single 18 running on only 400 watts and it absolutely tears his car apart.

Perfect, thank you sir.

So if I connect the 2 amps together using the line out of one into the line in on the other, then the bass knob plugged into the first amp would control both?

I know there's solutions like that, but I don't think that's necessary for my setup. I'm trying to save myself some money but have it work properly.

I have an Audiobahn a8000t and was thinking about getting another one but don't want to run 2 bass knobs up front.

Is it possible to connect one bass knob to 2 amps? I'm assuming you can just cut the wiring open and solder another connector to it, but I'm not familiar with what type of wire it is so I'm not sure if that would work.

Any idea where I could find one?

I was just reading the specs on the Hifonics BXi1608D and it says it pushes 1600 watts RMS @ 1 ohm, but only has a 4 gauge power and ground terminal. Is it possible to run that much power through 4 awg?

Yes sir that would work. That amp runs 1000 watts RMS at 2 ohms, so if you wire them up according to that diagram, each sub will be receiving their full 500 watts. Also, that saves you some trouble and wiring because you don't have to worry about splitting power and grounds and wiring up 2 amps.

No. You can do exactly what you originally wanted to do, but you have to do it with dual 4 ohm subs, not 2 ohm. If the subs were SINGLE voice coil 2 ohms, then it would be a 2 ohm load on the amp. But you have to take into account that there are DUAL 2 ohm voice coils, so wiring them up will either result in a 4 ohm or 1 ohm load, not 2 ohms. Here's some links that might help you out. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-P5W2uNDIr8r/l...ers_wiring.html http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=145

Get the 4 ohm model. That was you can wire it down to a 2 ohm load. Your amp won't see a 2 ohm load with dual 2 ohm subs.

Just got the sub page working (shitty college wireless network)...Unfortunately the amps won't be able to see a 2 ohm load using those subs. The subs are dual 2 ohm voice coils. If you plan on wiring each sub up to their own amp, you could wire it in parallel which would bring the load down to 1 ohm on the amp, but your amp isn't 1 ohm stable. You'd have to wire the voice coils in series to the amp, bringing the impedance up to 4 ohms. This means your subs would only see 300 watts rms a piece. If you can find the sub with dual 4 ohm voice coils, then you can wire them in parallel and the amp would be seeing 2 ohms, resulting in your subs seeing the 500 RMS you want them to. As for the rest of the questions not answered before, can't help with the factory amp. I doubt you'll need a cap or anything, just do the good ol Big III upgrade and you should be good. Add another battery or a cap if you get a lot of dimming when the bass hits. EDIT: Don't forget to get a fused distribution block for the power wires or you could fry some sh!t

The sub page won't load for me, but I got the amp page up. Yes, your amp with run at 500 watts RMS if you wire it down to 2 ohms. If you get two, you will need to buy a distributor to split the power wires into 2. For this setup I'd say get a distribution block that has 1 1/0AWG input with 2 4AWG outputs. Run a small amount of 1/0 from the positive terminal on the battery into the block, and then run the 4 out of the block to each of the amps.

I don't really care, just pissed me off a little when I initially read all the replies. For the record, I'm 19 years old so I'm by no means one of the older members (no offense to my elders ) but I'm also not one of the immature little 15 year olds that claim they have 2 Visionik 10's that hit 160dB and break windows. I apologize if I offended anyone by what I did. It was an employee parking garage with no one around, so I had a little fun. I'm usually very respectful with the volume knob, I just didn't realize it was such a big deal this time.

Lesson learned. Thanks.
