If you are planning on building the wall behind the 2nd row seats using 18s you will have to build the box inside the vehicle. If you were to use 15s you could build a wall that will slide in through the back of the vehicle.
A wall sounds cool, I just dunno what's ideal for my vehicle.

Holy crap!!! I need to come find you guys. I'm willing to commute to Jacksonville. I want something that's gonna hurt your chest. I'm not home right now, I'm TAD in VA. My dream would be 4 18's (AQ has nice prices) but I'm a little slow with measurements lol I don't know how much room I'd need for extra batteries, amp racks, etc. That's why I need someone to look at it in person. And I want to do a FULL system upgrade. That's why I said it's gonna take time(military needs to up the pay lol) and my whip is an expedition w/o the 3rd row
plenty of room for something, I just need to know what CAN fit. I don't wanna put the carriage before the horse, ya know? -
Alright, this is gonna be a long build, and I need an instructor to help me through building my own box. I need someone I can sit down with, and go over every single detail. Watching YouTube videos doesn't help me at all. I'll even pay ya for your time (not too much though, military doesn't pay enough lol) just someone please hit me up. Thanks fellow bassheads. Keep banging.

18cubes net tuned to 35Hz will do quite well on the lows. I run 4 15's in a wall that's around 17-18cubes, but off a lot more power then you plan to run...
You could do 4 18's in 20cubes net, but it wouldn't be ideal. Tune low and throw 4 ap3000's at them and it should hit hard.
Are you referring to the aluminum coils? I didn't think the coppers could run on 3krms. Should I break them in with 2 amps, and add the other 2 later? AQ's website says to be careful with power when breaking them in.
-
damn this was my dilemma for a few days,but I ended up ordering 2 aq 18's for my tahoe
i'll be powering them with 2 aq 2200 strapped.18's will be here tomorrow
Well, keep me posted on your progress. I really want 18's, but I just don't have the room:(
-
(4) 15s = more cone = "more louder". Then again it also depends on how well the box is designed/built, what kind of power they are getting, and how stiff your electrical is. You won't be disappointed with the AQ's either.
Thanks. I'm powering them with 2 ap3000's. And I'm not building the box, I have absolutely no experience in the matter. And idea how much space I'll need to make 4 15's happy?
-
Alright, so I've decided to go with audioque. I don't have enough room for 4 18's( need 22 cubic feet net, only have 20) but I dunno whether to just do 2 18's or 4 15's. I want it to be loud and low, so I'm willing to use all my available space. Just want some opinions on the topic. Thanks

I just can't imagine that. I've always been a big supporter of our troops. The only reason I want them home is because it sickens me to see on the news almost every day that we've lost more of our men and women in uniform.
Here's an example: a lot of people look at marines like they're crazy, or they are felons, and stuff like that. Now I can admit that we are a little crazy lol but most marines are fairly educated, and just wanna be first in the fight. And I do appreciate all the love and support from you guys. If you really wanna be supportive, send me some 18's lol

I believe this is called AMP P0RN lol.
I think one 4500d would blow my little truck up.
this may be true, but it takes TEN of these to barely move one 8" funky pup
but seriously, this amp is BOSS status. too clean dude
-
I was i bit more satisfied with my sealed 15s in my car today on the lows, but they dont get super low like i like. i had my windows down and my windows and doors were flexin a ton. I like being able to get down to atleast 20 hz. for more feeling than hearing though.
that's exactly what i want! not trying to be a thread robber, but i want PAIN in my chest more than i do ear wax coming out of my ears. i thought that this would be impossible to achieve, but if it's a SEALED box that can do this.....then i'm tuned in bro. let me know how it goes for ya.
-
You ever try it?
actually, i didn't need to. i left it alone for a few hours, and it cranked right up. i still drove around a bit just to be safe. the battery light went off, and it's all good now.
-
i wonder how many volts that amp was seeing at full tilt when the batt was dead
glad you asked. well, i have capacitor( i know, i know) and it tries to stay at 14.4 volts at all times. with the cap pulling and the alternator off, i'd say not many volts from the battery at all. i'll find someone to jump me, and i'll just cruise around a bit with my wife. even she said i was stupid for not turning the truck on lol
-
get a jump, then let your alt charge your batts. sounds like you just ran it too low. you should be fine with a jump
thanks so much dude. so when i get the jump, i should let my truck idle, or drive it around a bit? and of course, no music right? i'm trying to chharge the batts, not drain them.
-
alright, no one bash me on this one. i'm sensitive lol. but anyways, i just recently purchased a Kirby Vacuum (i think thats how you spell it lol) and i went to try it out on the interior of my truck. it works wonderfully, but this wasnt the mistake. i was playing some music from my truck without turning my truck ON. you know how you can turn the key a few clicks, and all the electrical cuts on? that's what i did. so, without paying any attention, this music playing goes on for like a half hour. when i finish cleaning up, a banging song by gucci mane came up, and i cranked it FULL TILT. three seconds later, everything shut off, and came back on. unsure of what just happened, i take the key out of the ignition ( i thought i blew a fuse or something, but then it occured to me that the just the subs would have cut off.) so now i'm really freaking out. i try to crank up my truck, and no dice.the lights and interior and stuff like that still come on, but the truck wont start up. my battery light is on, and meter is leaning towards the low side. is there anything i can do BESIDES buy a new battery? like leave it alone for a while or something? or am i just SOL? any advice would help. thanks.

i hate to interrupt this wonderful conversation, but i'm new to building boxes. what the hell is a dowel rod lol can someone post a link or a pic or something of what these things look like? thank a bunch

can no one help me?

stop eqing it from the head unit. those settings are dumb leave it flat if you feel the need to tweak and play spend the money for a head unit that allows it or an external eq. it maybe louder but its not a great idea.
x2 man you really have to listen to your sub bro. make sure it doesnt sound "grainy" when playing at a loud volume. and i would definately try an external eq, because the head unit could be sending a distorted signal to your speaker. the dmm would tell you if it's your amp sending a clipped signal, so i'd do that too. you have a lot of options here, just take your time and troubleshoot it.
-
maybe you're putting the carriage before the horse here... decide on the vehicle first, that way we can give our opinions on what would sound better in that specific vehicle. not trying to bash on ya or anything, but it would help us help you in the long run.

hey all, i need some help. i plan on upgrading my system to 4 audioque hdc3 18's, but before i do that, i gotta stop my truck from rattling. right now i have 2 jl 13w3's, and my back hatch rumbles like it has an attitude lol. so, i was considering a shop pack of the damplifier pro,but i dunno if this will get the job done for my expedition. i was also considering buying some of the luxury liner in addition to damplifier, but i don't know if that would be overkill. anyone with a large suv that has used this stuff before, please help out a fellow basshead lol thanks.
-
i say 18's FTW and subs up port back is the best for that vehicle. just be sure you know what you're doing when you recone them.
-
well i say keep it up lolman steve ur too generous,you give away component sets,signed banners and a sub to someone who collab your vids together...
-
awesome vid bra. i wish i had 13w7's. or rather, i wish i could afford them lol keep it up man next vid i wanna see some woofer porn!
-
I like the box design and love t2 12's . It make me wish I had more money to spend on my system. Your boy sounds like he's bangin . Cool stuff.
x2 i'm a broke marine..... i can only dream of having a setup like that..... unless someone's willing to donate to broke military personnel lol. the setup is awesome man. real clean install, and it sounds clean and hard too. you should get him to join the SMD family.

dude i say find yourself an abandoned parking lot, and crank it ALL the way up! let's see it at full potential!
