[best setup for trunk car?]

Ok I was discussing with a friend what would be best for a trunk car box wise. He says rear facing sealed box. I said forward facing ported box sealed off from trunk ( backseat /subbox/trunk) box sealing the space connecting. Which of those is better and would any other box design beat those?

[Friends first build- Mods needed to 1200 watts rms.]

Couldn't I also do watts/voltage= AMPS? take stock alternator an add draw to it to know which alternator he would need?

[Friends first build- Mods needed to 1200 watts rms.]

My Friend is building his first system and I was wanting to know if he would need any electrical mods to support a AQ1200 amp ?

[Dumb Question looking for good answer.]

Its gonna Be a Ford Focus Sedan. I plan on Heavy window tint and an alarm . I thought bout a shower rod with a curtain to pull across when Im parked also.

is this a clamshell or a wall? What makes a clamshell a Clamshell? Does it have to be Ported? I am confused on the differences to be honest

[Dumb Question looking for good answer.]

Im Leaning towards a Wall cause everyone seems to have a pair of 12s where I live but I never see any walls.... well thanks guys guess I am back to my wall lol

[Dumb Question looking for good answer.]

My biggest worry is Buying 2 15" L7s for example then getting them stolen out of my car. Yes the Budget is still 1000 for just woofers

[Dumb Question looking for good answer.]

I am debating on a ground Pounder 10+ sub build or just getting loud with a pair of 12s. I was curious if i can hit 140-150 with some 12s? below 40 hz? . Just trying to figure out what I want to do

[What Electrical Upgrades do I need]

I was just meaning as a length comparison

[What Electrical Upgrades do I need]

well the typical "Walmart" wiring kit will reach to my trunk. Im not sure of the run length but 2 feet on to that kit would be plenty

[What Electrical Upgrades do I need]

Oh no yellow tops then... what should i get with out giving a arm and leg?

[What Electrical Upgrades do I need]

how large of a wire would i need to run from front battery to the yellow tops? 0 gauge for everything or could I get away with 2 gauge

[What Electrical Upgrades do I need]

I was hoping just 0 gauge big 3 and amp wires, 260 Amp Alt from Iraggi and 2 optima yellow top batteriess

[What Electrical Upgrades do I need]

What electrical Upgrades would I need to support 3000 watts Rms? car is 100% stock electrical

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

Appreciate the input from everyone. Hopefully you will be seeing a build Log real soon

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

ok well lets say 140 then

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

Could someone point me in the direction of some good clam shells and tubes?

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

My budget for just Subs Box and Amp is 1000-1500. Wiring batts and Alt are on a different budget. I like Sony cause they are cheap and with a good setup people stop dogging them after they hear it . Plus I get Wal-mart Discount so Sonys are like 30-40 bucks each for me .

Edit: What is a Funkypup?

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

I believe changing the tune frequency of a T-line would turn it into a folded horn .

I dont know much about a clam shell Setup . Is it possible to build within the constraints of 42W 34H 22D (15 ft^3 ). Can they be ported ? and will it pound?

Are there any other Good Multi Woofer setups besides simple ported?

Edit: Current design will accomidate 8 10's 6 12's 4 15's (all sealed) 2 15s (Ported)

Edit 2: I believe the Sony 15's have issues of dust caps coming unglued

[question about t-lines]

I have a T-line for 2 sony 10s and it preforms exceptionally , I have Amazing Sq and great power in my tuned range. Yes they Move a lot of air

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

Well the box is built to the resonating frequency of the sub. So I am thinking more subs possibly ported. I will redesign the box to figure out a ported setup also

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

Well in the sealed (prefabbed pos) box I had when I first started I could hit lows but not powerfully . With my T-Line it unloads my woofers on anything below 35ish HZ

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

My Current Setup is 2 Sony 10's in a T-line box (450rms) and I get asked all the time by local Enthusiast on what i am running. They say it doesn't sound bad at all for being sonys. I am tired of not being able to hit low lows. Its beyond my tuned freq.

Edit: If anyone had box ideas post a pic of the style mentioned for us uninformed folks, Thanks

[Would it be worthy of 129.9?]

Would 8 Sony Xplod 10's walled behind B pillar on 2600 watts be good enough for 129.9 DB ? It would be in a Ford Focus Sedan. Yes I know Sonys suck but its how I roll.I would like to one day be able to do a hair trick with Sonys. the Box will have full sides on it for support and sealed from the rest of the car.

Please dont post just to say how much Sonys suck .

[The F*ck That Post]

yeah Kranny but my Neighbors are over an 1/8 mile away from where i live. I didnt make it through late night tips with my car sealed up before he called the cops.

the 3 hours was after the cops left .

[The F*ck That Post]

Neighbor 3 houses down bitching about your loud stereo at 1:00 in the afternoon,then calling the cops -FUCK THAT

**funny thing is where i live there is no Sound regulations so i filled my car with gas and bumped for 3 hours straight**
