damn, ya hook em up to your amp, id hate to see you spend that much on tweets and jus have em runnin off your deck

[Tweeters]

ya well i mean it wont be as noticaeble compared to hooking it up to an amp but it will sound better

[Tweeters]

well it wont be a world of a difference but u can jus hook em up to stock speaker wire in your doors.. i did this in my grand prix and you could definitely tell the difference.

clipping is when the amp puts out dc volts instead of ac volts.

it makes ALOT of heat and will toast any sub if you don't know what you are doing.

you could blow that sub with 1000 clipped watts easily. so you better be damn sure that those "2500" are clean as hell.

you will be probably only see 2200 out of the AQ and i would suggest finding someone with an oscope to set up your amp properly

here is somewhat of a guide to give you a better idea

http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=4382

is it mostly to do with the way the settings on the amp are set? or jus not enough juice or what is it?

[6.47 cu ft, 35hz, 100.5 sq in port for 1x 18" XL]

alrite what exactly is clipping and how do i make sure it doesnt happen (newb here)

[6.47 cu ft, 35hz, 100.5 sq in port for 1x 18" XL]

and again, box materials? glue? bedliner? bracing? what should i need

[6.47 cu ft, 35hz, 100.5 sq in port for 1x 18" XL]

yeah just make sure your putting 2.5k and not 2.5k +clipping

alrite what exactly is clipping and how do i make sure it doesnt happen (newb here)

[6.47 cu ft, 35hz, 100.5 sq in port for 1x 18" XL]

if the sub is up and port is back (underneath the sub on the floor) how much room should be in between the motor and the port wall? its 6 inches enough? if you get what i mean

[6.47 cu ft, 35hz, 100.5 sq in port for 1x 18" XL]

its too late i already got the xl, should be fine though with the right box i hear people are puttin 3k to em no problem

edit: but i didnt get the amp yet maybe ill stick with the aq2200

[6.47 cu ft, 35hz, 100.5 sq in port for 1x 18" XL]

how about what i should paint it with, seal the inside with type of wire terminals all that jazz?

[6.47 cu ft, 35hz, 100.5 sq in port for 1x 18" XL]

should be decent

box specs, bingo. aim for 16sqin of port per cubic foot and your fine.

so 105.0 divided by 6.5 is 16 exactly so is it perfect??
