Looks great man and putting up sum real good #s too, especially as a relatively low frequency... Seeing this really makes me want to wall off my woofers.

Yep that's how it works... That's why you see people pushing on doors, panels, windows at comps to try and pick up a few extra tenths.

^^ I agree 100% with that... What kind of budget are u working with??

Not much u can do besides have a high quality alarm... It's one of those things like if you're willing to put expensive items in your vehicle, then you know you're taking the risk. I'd talk to your insurance company and get it insured in case your vehicle does get broken into. Hell on my Expo I have 5% front windows + 8" windshield strip and double 5% on the rest of the windows, full alarm w/ multiple options, and I have it all insured for $2k more than it's all worth.

Shrukien(sp?) makes some solid batts but I've heard they can't be run under hood due to the heat.. I'm pretty sure it's because of the extremely thin side walls compared to other similar batts. Performance wise though I've only heard good things bout them, especially for the price I've seen them go for. Also your buddy is an idiot if he thinks you'll be fine running an AQ 2200D of a Walmart batt and stock electrical other wise.

They're more than likely HCs, simply due to the sheer rarity of Destroyers and the majority of the ones I've seen were done with black baskets(not to say you can't change that).

Lambo LM002 or Conquest Knight XV... How the hell do u expect us to help u out without setting any sort of guidelines for us to look for you.

Are you running a single 18?? The coppers can handle the 2200D but the alum coils just add a little more power handling. Off 2200w I'd personally suggest running the HDC3 over the 4xl, off that general power range the HDC3s did more out of that power in my testing than the 4xls did. Over the both of them though I'd suggest looking into American Bass HDs.

I'd suggest like 9ft3 @ 34hz w/ 80-95in2 of port area using either a pair of 10" aeros or 8" aeros... I've tested them time and time again to be anywhere from a few tenths to 1db+ louder than slot/square ports.

The DD setup without question... A single 1512 should be fine with 600-1000w daily as long as enclosure and gains are setup correctly.

How much power are u running?? What coil HDC3(copper or aluminum)?? I'd guess head to head a 4xl + HDC3 alum will be pretty close to each other, numbers wise if each were in proper enclosures. From my testing the 4xl had more power handling than the previous model HDC3 alum and was a few tenths louder than it also.

Hobby^^ pretty much hit everything on the head there... Depending on the power u plan on running, the enclosure will be different to maximize the potential of whatever amp you'll be using. If u wanted to keep it all one company then a Memphis 2500.1 would work perfectly for that woofer. As far as wiring just imagine using a pair of D1 woofers and it will make it easier to visualize.

It's gonna be quite difficult to do a proper ported enclosure in there... I'd strongly suggest just running a single 15 in proper airspace, than choking off an 18.

You can get a BNIB Audiopipe 1500D for like $150 shipped and have plenty left over for a good batt. It will do rated power and still leave the headroom that you were looking for.

Just upload them to like photobucket and post a link.... If it's a triple stack with that cone it's either an 03 XXX or HC. If u do upload pics of your actual woofer(motor showing) we'll prolli be able to give u a definitive answer.

Sorry for your loss bro... The person that did that either didn't know better(which a surprisingly large amount or people don't) or he was just a real piece of shit. Either way it's fucked up and he should be taught a lesson.

How much power are u gonna be running?? What size enclosure will they be in?? Both are among the questions that need to be answered before we can give u an accurate opinion. The install itself will play the biggest role in how either one will sound or perform. Really can't go wrong with either one though. Also I'd look into a DD 9518g if you're looking into that general power handling/price range, because I'd take one over either of the others u suggested.

Those might be rough trunk measurements but you also have to account for where you're gonna put the amp(s) and batteries. Also need to make sure you have enough space in the trunk to have proper airflow back into the car, so the enclosure isn't choked off from the rest of the car. By just listing the measurements it's pretty pointless unless u expect someone to design some boxes for you or whatever you were thinking.

If you're planning on running 4k+ watts I hope you have a pretty solid electrical setup in mind also.. HO alt + 2 or more big batts in back. Also I highly doubt you will have proper airspace in trunk for a pair of 15s or the quad 12s like the ones you suggested. My suggestion would be just to run a nice single 15 or a pair of 12s, unless you're willing to lose your backseat.

I like the idea of a 4th order walled off... Also would suggest having at least like 5 or more big batts and I'd run dual alt at the minimum.

More than likely, I don't see any difference in the ratings and don't think kicker did much to change them up from 06-08. I doubt you'll be able to see any sort of difference between the two.

Very nice he's gonna love the 9500, they are sum great woofers... What kind of power is he running?? Mids?? Electrical??

I'm not gonna do a sketchup for you but here's a vid of something similar to what I was getting at, but on a smaller scale obviously...

I definitely wouldn't go that route with the design... What type of SUV is this going in?? I'd suggest either sub/port facing the rear or CRX style box(sub up/port back) depending on what works best in your vehicle.

Just make sure that the seller has a high rating and you shouldn't run into any issues, I never have.
