exactly, once you get a finger caught in that hole, trying to take that 70lbs woofer out...

just so you know, getting the sub in and out of a flush mounted hole is a pain in the ass. i did it once and ill never make a box like that again.

make sure to double baffle. im sure itll be fine with all those dowels. that port does look funny. you shouldnt have put that bottom piece on the port. just use the bottom of the box as a port. known as a slot port. now if you didnt glue that bottom piece down, the 2 pieces might slap eachother. i never saw the point in putting resin on the corners. air isnt going to get forced through wood glue. unless you use a few layers of fiberglass your not adding to the integrity of the box.

thats what im going off of.

here is a decent amp if you dont want to spend much http://www.woofersetc.com/p7501/BXI-1610D-...k-Amplifier.htm and here is one of you dont care about cost. but you might want to go for the smaller one. this'll give you over that 300w per sub. http://www.woofersetc.com/p4190/ZX15001--K...s-Amplifier.htm he didnt say they were 4ohm. he said he was looking to bridge that amp at 4ohm. so i asume he looked at my link and figured out he would have a 4ohm load. perhaps i put too much faith in him. we'll see but either way, it does 125 x2 at 4ohms. no point is running them on 1 channel and getting half the power.

where did you learn math??? lol oh by the way. NEVER BUY SONY CAR AUDIO PRODUCTS!

not even close. that amp only puts out 340w. look at the RMS rating. NEVER care about its max rating. so that amp will only give each sub 170wrms at 4ohms.

thats funny. i used to use those then i went to soldering. i know what you mean about cutting the wire shorter and shorter but since he is running them to the bolts, he will basicaly be making the direct connects longer. but you can just cut off the tape/heat shrink and heat up the solder. then you wouldnt be cutting it down. maybe i just like soldering or im too cheap to by some connecters when i can make it work for free. the other 2 options would be faster though.

ive tried emailing you several times about this alt. never got an answer. so you wouldnt need to turn them off if you werent jamming for long periods of time?

id say to solder them but i dont want you to yell at me again.

you giving drunkin advice tacoma?

lol i couldnt decide what i wanted to respond with.

lol i am helping. just use the soldering iron to connect 2 wires into 1. run that one wire out of the box and into your amp. now you dont have to be worried about burning carpet. i thought it was good advice.

i didnt give a crap till i read that he was a member here. GO GET HIM WILDBEAST!!

dont know how to use a soldering iron?

why not just leave the bolt out and run the wire through the hole?

use this. http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp or use a DMM and set it to ohms then check the speaker wire at the amp. almost every amp puts out different power and different ohm loads. so you could buy a 2000w amp but have your subs wired to 8ohm and only be getting 400w out of it. feel free to pm me if you need more help.

lol dude, a washer would be the same thing as the wire. unless its rubber.

ive never seen it on carpet but people use those bolts all the time. nothing wrong with it. im sure it wont cause a fire.

do you know what ohm load you are running them at? for lower end subs like yours, i wouldnt go much over rms. so when you pic an amp make sure it doesnt go higher than 700wrms at the ohm load you are presenting. like if you were at 2ohms, a sundown 1000d should work pretty well but if your at 1ohm itll give them a little too much power. no one likes to chime in on these questions unless you give more info. mostly how much you want to spend.

way too many screws.

itll charge faster if you drive around. keep the system off.

yep, a jump or a battery charger. be more careful next time

ya. i ment mine still changes the "volume" all the way up.
