Ohh dont worry I will!!! BTW I like your builds

No I have'nt competed in any real db drags or anything yet but I plan to. But yes I know the basic knowledge I know alot about audio.

Ohh. If I did have enough room for a horn how much db you think I could pull then???

Yeah,your right!!! I guess im just hoping for the best. But one more thing: Do you think those 2 18 btls would work better in the box were talking about or in a wicked one horn enclosure???

So since i'm going to have the subs "firing upwards" is that better??

What do you mean by me having the subs "Firing Forwards"?? the subs are going to be facing the roof if you seen the vid. did you mean "Firing Upwards" or what??? pleae explain what your talking about

my bad heres the link. thanks for info. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZhfN9Gxcz8

I seen this guy on youtube with 2 18'' Fi.SSD's on 2400-2800rms in this box below hitting 149db. (In a Ford Escort) www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZhfN9Gxcz8 If he hits that much with entry level subs how much db you think I could hit with this system?? WITH THAT SAME BOX ON HIS VID. This is my !!!Soon 2 Come!!! Setup how good is it??? Vehicle:(1) 2002 Pontiac Grand Am Gt (2-Door with Sunroof) SUB:(2) 18'' Fi.BTL (Fully Loaded) D2,cooling,hixm coil,induct heat ring,DAILY AMP:(2) Sundown SAZ-3000D (& BTL's are recommended @ 2000 Rms) The btl is getting the whole [3000 rms+] Making a total of 6600 rms Enclosure:(1):[Ported] 12.6 Cuft. (After Displacemant & Port) Tuned to 34hz. 3/4 MDF (:Screws for terminals (Better solid connection no leaks) (:Dynamat xtreme speaker kits (2):Dynamat xtreme license plate kit (3):Packs of dynamat xtreme (complete car kits) (1):Dynamat trunk kits (1):PAC 200amp Battery Isolator (3):300amp Iraggi HO Alternators (3):Kinetik HC 2400 Batts. (1):Kinetik HC 800 (under the hood or yellow top) Big 3 will be done (beefing up my electrical system) Etc. Amp Kits:(2) Kicker PKD1 Speakers and tweeters will be by Sundowm Will that be loud? Also how deep would it get for two subs with a enclosure that big? Does Dynamat make your bass deeper? For a lucky quess do you think I'll hit @ leats 156-158db's+ if not a little over since I have dynamat and because the dynamat website says itself it gives you at leats a 3db increase alone maybe more db's are vechicle variant? But 3db's garanteed!! And because he has entry level subs hitting almost 150db and i have top of the line subs. Also is'nt there a 3db increase because the subs are going to be in the back seat right behind me and not in the trunk? and since the port is going to be in the trunk can i still do hair tricks or not? Now I know dynamat gives more bass,better SQ,stops rattling,3db increase if not more,But with three dynamat extreme (Complete Car Kits) can you still hear the bass from outside the car and can people still hear me before they see me or what?And can I still get hairtricks with dynamat or not? Should i get the enclosure double or triple baffled With the enclosure being tuned to 34hz. I know it will hit hi notes good but will it still hit low low notes good? P.S:Try to answer all of the dynamat and enclosure questions if you can!! Sorry for all the quesions please dont cuss me out

Im getting 1 18'' fi.btl fully loaded and my enclosure is going to be 6.3 cuft. (After all displacements) 3/4mdf tuned to 34hz. But as far as the port can you please tell me how long,tall,wide,etc. it should be for best hairtricks,loud bass at high notes,and the best low bass I can get (Since being tuned to 34hz.) without port noise. One more thing as far as the enclosure should I have the top and bottom of the enclosure double baffled or triple baffled or the whole enclosure double or triple baffled or what? Please help as much as you can I really appreciate it!!! Thanks guys

How could I possibly run the whole system with 1 300amp alt. when the amp pulls 300amps alone? That there is the alternator.But like I said before when my money gets right im going to get a 2nd btl and a 2nd aq3500d so that makes 600 amps.And I was gonna use the other alt. for the car.I'm going to buy everything at once so I wont have to worry about buying things over and over.

Yea I know he did it last time I didnt know what happend until he sent me a message

Okay is this sig. better or make smaller?

The reason why im getting 900 amps is because when I get my 2nd btl and my 2nd aq3500d that will be a total of 600 amps and I'll still want enough amps for the car to run off of. Kinda hard to explain but yeah.

I'm not getting the spl option I know 100% what it is. I said is the cooling option mostly for daily drivers or spl option? Which one would you prefer cooling or p-chamfer?

Buy the 18'' since space is'nt a option tied to a aq3500d (700 Shipped!!)

Okay thanks. now is the cooling option recommended for daily or spl?

I plan on buying one 18'' fully loaded btl,daily tied to a aq3500d (getting the whole 3500 watts) for best one ohm load what should I get? the d1,d2? Also for a daily fully loaded btl should I get cooling or p-chamfer? B.T.L.= "(B)rakes.(T)erm.(L)abs."

You have a nice setup. You'll be hitting a good 153.7db+ with that setup!! How much rms can the LV5 handle?

"Galamonkey" is the one with the 16 12's. He aslo has 4 18'' fully loaded btls powered by sundown amps in his explorer they beat hard not louder than meades but for a lucky guess Galamonkey's hitting 156.2db+. BTW:Does anyone know how much db meade is hitting with his present setup? Seems like he doesnt tell anyone he just places the db of his old setups

The subs have 8 gauge terminals so yes 8 guage wire will be just perfect prefect "Not too big,Not too small"

I'd do 32hz. Its keeps you in the good low note range high note ranges as well. Think about it. Then again its your setup so 33hz.-34hz. is cool too I dont recommend nothing above it. Fi generally Recommends 33hz. so do what you do but heres my 20 + 2 cents .

.

!!!!CONGRATS!!!! Nice setup you got their bro you'll be hitting a solid 148.6db+!!!. Glad to see another member with a 18 most of all gald to see a happy member choosing Fi!! You wont be disappointed! Cant wait till you get them installed and I cant wait till I get my fully loaded 18'' btl and aq,hopefully I'll be hitting a good 148.6db-149.5db with one sub LOL'z (I doubt 149.5db but more than 146.8db for sure) "Congrats & Good Luck With Your System!!" Mo power 2 ya!!! POST VIDS. ON YOUTUBE!!

Since your on a budget heres the best amp you can find http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12211_...+BXi+1608D.html If you get the amp above get both subs d1ohm so you can get a decent 1 ohm load. Whats your max. price? What options for subs? Your gonna have buy a 2nd Batt. & Upgrade your electrical system. But you should'nt need to buy a alternator. (Heres a cheap batt. Kinetik Rocks!!) http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8531_Kinetik+HC+800.html What kinda car is it going in? Enclosure ported or sealed (I recomended ported) If ported and space is'nt an option build to 8 cuft. tuned to 34hz. That would be best. But if that was me I'll get the enclosure (Maximun Slam) http://www.decware.com/whorn.htm

They'll both take it but if space is'nt a option get the 18. But hey thats just me What options are you getting with it. What amp is it? Does it put out max power @ 1ohm Or 2 Ohms? Whats your goals? You didnt list enough info.
