cool thanks for the advice....any of u guys know any shop that makes good custom boxes in socal??
-
false, very very false, separate chambers wont damage them...and your friend is very dumb for thinking that, i mean, come the hell on.
also, it will sound like "brrrrrrrp brrrrrp brrrrrp"
it wasent a friend it was the guy that sold me the subs lol.....what do you mean like brrrrp brrrp ? like crap u mean lol...
-
i will work for now, without dimensions couldn't tell you how well but something is better than nothing
cheap prefab boxes are very common and mainstream people are usually happy with them until they hear what their subs can do in the right box.
im gonna take dimensions today.....someone told me that because its sealed, and there is a wood in the middle of the box meaning that each sub is sealed separately that could damage my subs at woot....???? true or false???
-
and another thing...i saw that they have this on special...it seems like a sick deal its 8 gauge wire for like $14 but it says power wire...can i use this for my speakers or speakers wire is different?

ok so i got this box super cheap...i bought it before coming in the forum so i know i need to build a box according to my subs and amp...but will this box work at all? will it bang a little? should i just wait till i have money to build one or should i use it for now?
dont know the exact measurements..only thing i know is that is sealed and it is sealed in the midle of the box so each sub has its sealed compartment..

KnuKonceptz 0 gauge 20 feet for the positive and negative to the amp...hope thats enough lol....
Knukonceptz

no capacitor
we should have a banner that says "CAPS ARE FUCKING USELESS" and in tiny print under it "unless you have electrical to back up your system and are using it to smooth voltage ripples inherent in high current usage"
for the price of a cap, get a bigger batt up front and good 0g to run to the back, and you should be fine (by good i mean name brand like knukonceptz/monster/rockford/jl...NOT pyle/tsunami/installation bay/poweracoustik/etc)
a good front batt (like they said a hc1400, or the biggest AGM type you can fit in there) and good og and a good bare metal ground are all you should need to keep that amp happy.
so is there a lot of difference between buying this....

reason for it bein 35 is its just a meter. i paid over 400 for a 10 farad rockford hybrid cap and you know what i got? a piece of junk with blinkin lights. i still shattered my alt and batt, had to rebuild my power sources cause i put too much belief into caps. i sold my car along with the set up, the set up is my avitar pic, and now am building a fosgate system, all power components driven by a 600/4 rock power amp, 1 t2 12" rock driven by a rock t1500 power amp, and am installin two kinetic batteries, one under the hood and one beside the sub. ill have it complete this sat and have vids up for proof and show. just remember to take your time and dont blow shit up. lol
damw thanks for the advice man..good thing i asked before buying that cap lol...ill just save up a couple of months then and buy me another battery if i decide to put the other amp on...

how good is sound quest for the wires? where can i get the wires you are recomending?
now for the negative do i need 0 gauge or 4 gauge is ok?
how good is audiopipe for the rca cables? not good ?
-
wouldnt even worry about a cap.....just my belief....but they are just over priced volt meters.
cool...cuz i was looking at a 2 farad one for 35 bucks on craigslist...
-
you should deff be good with what you got. if its one amp you are fine, its not tremendous power but will do the job, and as long as thats all youre runnin have no worries. now once you add another amp for your mids and so on you will need some more power, until then just sit back and relax while the bass hits.
i have a 800 watts 4 channel amp laying that im thinking on using for the mids...so if i put that one too im def gonna need an extra battery and the big 3 mod?
-
ok cool...so if i run from the stock battery 0 gauge to the amp and have a 2 farad cap i would be ok...is the cap gonna help at all? where can i get cheap 0 gauge cables? how much cable should i buy? 25 ft ok or too much?
-
will it help if i use 0 gauge cables? or 4 gauge would be ok? and for the subs 8 gauge right?

Type of car is it?
2000 chevy astro ...

so im building my astro i have 2 PBX ES 15D - 15" and will be powered by one PBX ASA-1500.1D amp..speakers are powered only by stereo for now..so im only gonna have one amp on the car...do i need an extra battery?. i can get a 2 farad capacitor..would that be enough?..im not looking to win competitions or anything like that just want to have some :hairtrick: in my car lol..
-
ohh i forgot to ask....i got 2 of the 3000 watts amps...they r 1 channel each...should i use one amp for each sub or one is enough?
am i gonna have any problems with my stock battery and alternator? any sugestion on capacitors? and im still thinking in if i should put an amp for the mids or just power them with the radio...it sound really nice so far with just the radio powering them...
-
yes

no they r exactly pointing to my face..the angle on that pic makes them look down...
