  1. i have 2 15" t1's in about 7 cubes after sub and bracing displacement tuned to 30hz they drop low, get loud and are still really clean on rock music (i lilsten to everything) why sealed? ported can have just as good sound quality, just gotta build right. my set up is subs up prt back on a slot port. im gunna rebuild soon and see of subs up port back on the driver side will be any louder. but i am very happy with my current set up. just a little greedy on the numbers. wanna get as loud as possible. then again mines in a blazer. if your keeping um trunked i would try and port through the rear deck, behind the rear seats
  2. oh and about the second battery, yea run a + from the battery onder the hood to your battery in the trunk and that'll take care of it since that bat is already connected to the alt. also about blowing the subs... im pretty sure rms power for a q is 1000 so you could feed them some more juice. but take care of your electical 1st, no point of giving more power if your just gunna starve the amp of voltage, then you blow stuff
  3. definitately do the big 3 first, theres a tutorial on how if your not sure its stickied under the electical and wiring section. after that if you still have a problem add a second battery. i would go either kinetic or xs power, both make some really nice stuff. any idea exactly how bad your voltage drop is? you have a vvoltmeter in your car, or on your amp or anything?
  4. a 15' sub? did you buy a bus, tank... whats it goin in? lol just kidding but really, wheres it goin? cant design anything without dimensions
  5. i have the 9886, i love it, havnt used the the "better" one though
  6. i really like my alpine, it scrolls pretty much the same as the ipod does, only thing is it only shows 3 songs, or artists, or whatever your lookin at at a time. its really easy to use though
  7. how much d othe dc amps run? i heard their hard to come by..
  8. nice ill definately look into sundown, thanks fo rthe replies guys. hopefully i can place some oreders soon
  9. im not buying anything yet im just trying to get some ideas for my next setup. im thinking 2 lvl 4xl 15's. i've got about 9 cubes to throw um in. the thing im wondering is how much power should i really put on these things if i get um? any suggestions on an amp they might be happy on? some bigger batts. comin soon too
  10. X2 until you get a bigger alt, ad some bats., best... probal only option
  11. if your subs are dual 1's here are your choices a- wire each sub in series.. + to + bringing the load down to .5 for each woofer and than parralel to the amp = 1 ohm b- wire each sub paralel... - to + on coils making each sub 2 ohms and then + to - from woofer to woofer = 4 as long as i didnt screw that up.. makes sense in my head, if you have questions on wiring your stuff just go to rockfordfosgate.com go to the wiring wizzard and type in what you got. it'll give you all possible wiring combos for your woofers to not blow up
  12. yea i usually use 3/4 mdf and double up on the baffle (side where the subs go)so that its 1 1/2. i would also get some wood dowels from home depot and run one horizontal and 1 vertical just to be safe. you should be ok with that, but extra never hurts. alot of people like to use fiber glass to add some strength. theres alot of different ways. just look stuff up and see what you like best. overkill can be good but not enough can reeeaaallly suck
  13. quick piece of advice, whatever you end up going with dont get it from dealer cost car audio they will take forever to ship and there is no way to talk to anybody over the phone. very bad personal experience with them
  14. oo missed the part about moms car. just head up to autozone or aid. if you don't need crazy output i would just stay stock
  15. how cheap is cheap? you could go cheap on a H/O alt. but you ussualy get what you pay for company's like dc power and mechman are a little on the expensive side but its well worth it. they give you what you pay for not like some of the other companies who rate there stuff at 250 amps when they don't ever see that kind of power Edit: i type to slow lol
  16. if you mean the tone your loudest at yes it will be the same going from the ac to the tl but your numbers could be a few db off.
  17. so noob who do i talk to about prices? i noticed you guys are having a little yard sale
  18. good info, thanks im glad someone else has actually heard of this amp cuz everyone i talk to just says what amp? lol. so at that power im trying to decide on 2 level 3's or level 4's, dont really have any experience with dc subs wanted to know what you guys think would be a better match. i like my 15's dont really have enough air space for 18's though..
  19. hmm i have a digital audio dhc1604 amp that suposedy puts out 2400 watts rms at 1 ohm, right now im running 2 rockford t1 15's off of it at 2 ohms. im kinda curious if it would be a good idea to wire up 4 dc lvl 4 15's or maybe a couple lvl 4 xl 15's not sure what the best match would be, i want put this amp to the test though so far i havn't been able to figure out its pottential
  20. definately do big 3 first if that doesnt help enough HO alt. meachman got 25% off for july but if thas still to pricy check this out. seems like a decent idea http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f27/how-to-h...or-80-a-376788/ i didnt do it myself but it seems to be workin for this guy
  21. cool. ill probly head over there sunday then. got work saturday moning. im just hoping for mid 130's id be happy with that for now. i gotta build a new box
  22. ill probly end up going i only live like 10 minutes away and i do still need to get this boc metered. any one know if theres an entrance fee?
