they are made over seas now. they arnt the best quality anymore. the SX i got needed the tinsel lead terminals to be resoldered then it was perfect.

i honestly dont trust these sites. ive had one order come in from onlinecarstereo.com. but ive had one from both sites that never showed up. i had to call the bank and have them give me my money back. both sites never responded to any emails. this was a few years ago, maybe they are better now but woofersetc.com and darvex.com are the only sites i trust. darvex.com does sell some crapy products though, just dont buy xscorpion stuff.

hahaha, dude, the math and science says that a sealed enclosure should get the loudest. this is obviously not the case but if you know physics, you know what im talking about.

the point of a subsonic filter is to STOP the subs from playing below the box tuning. of corse the subs can play lows no matter what you tune the box to. but you can overthrow the subs. im really not an expert but this is my understanding of tuning. i just dont want to see you break a woofer. the flex looks very nice and i love the glass work. fix that roof b4 it looks like mr.p's!!

if you try to fill a tank(your battery) with a garden hose (your alt) while draining it with a 6" pipe (your system)eventualy the tank will run out of water. now if you get a bigger tank it will take longer to empty it but if you keep the smaller tank and upgrade to a 6" pipe to fill the tank then you dont have to worry about it going empty. thats an easy explanation, please guys dont take that too litteraly, i already know what you are going to say. but this is a simple way to think about alt vs. battery. i always recomend people new to car audio look at BCAE1.com. it explains these types of questions in great detail but wont get so technical that you cant understand it.

you need to be able to blast them with your system for them to listen to you.

i would have to say the alt. keep an eye on your voltage till you get both in. i have a 250amp alt, deka G31 and a yellowtop. running 3500w (2 saz-1500's and alpine pdx150.4) so im almost exactly what your looking at having. my voltage will touch 12v at idle and full tilt, at 2000rpm it wont drop under 13v. so, with less electrical you may see 10-11v (guessing) but getting to 10v is bad so just keep an eye on it and make sure you keep in 11v+ hope that helps.

time to run to auto zone and test an alt.

so every connection is tight, including the voltage meter, and you have 12v while the car is running with the system off? id say its the alt then. but thats more of a guess. i dont know what else could cause it. lol drew is so helpful.

with the car on?

looks fine. if you have so much wire you might as well do 3 runs to each battery. not that you NEED to.

im just joking bro. dont think too much into it.

my $200 RE SX's were taking 1200w like a champ. you telling me these $500 woofers cant take more than that? lol im just rippin on JL.

1200w per woofer? sounds sadly underpowered. looks better than my 1st FG box

you dont have a ton of power going yet so more batts isnt a huge deal for you. a good idea to get another though. my 1st setup was 2 10" polks, sealed, on 250w a piece. that system impressed me and my friends back then. now im at 145db, 3500w and i want to get it louder. as you get used to the volume you will want to go bigger and bigger. oh, and your friends wont be "impressed" anymore... they will think you are crazy. ill throw a number out my ass for you... 138.5. lol pm me after you get it metered. i want to know if im close.

get those other fuckers fired.

sounds like i party i dont want to have anything to do with lol

ic, but do HIS subs like 20+? i have no idea. just thought it could be something to look into.

oh, also, you should have 12-16 square inches of port area per cubic foot. you have a LOT more than that.

in the last video, the subs dont seem to be moving much. maybe you have them wired wrong or your tuning is off. you might not be getting the power to them that you think you are. and remember, wiring is one of those things that everyone is always POSITIVE they did correctly and 60% of the time, it was wrong. just double check wiring and your gains. study up if you need a better idea on how to do it. it might be that simple, and its free.

they fit on PVC?? ill look into that. thanks man.

ya but i just quit my job so i was trying to get them cheaper. i just went with PVC pipes though. itll work for now.

i was up saturday night too. got the box done around 2am and got 1st place sunday. i like the lamp in the box. gotta have light so the DBz can find their way out.
