Azagtoh : I love your avatar !!! I was born in 71, I can relate to most of what SM said. Even if I was raised in Fance and in a French Caribbean island : Martinique ! In our neighbourhood we were never watching tv, because we were outside playing football(soccer) , tennis, riding bikes,... Although we had satellite tv to watch US tv channels, the first pc (oric1, olivetti M24, amstrad,zx80-81, ...) in our residence, we were out until our parents got home ! the good old days !

First system
notorious97200 replied to gamejunky16's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
Go ported. The box will be in the trunk, ported or sealed, so if you want it loud go ported ! No matter if your seats are down or not ! -
The sub is rated at 1200 watts rms, so you should stick with that, or a little more, for the amplifier. Get a Sundown 1500 at db-r and you will be good to go !

secondskin smell?
notorious97200 replied to Emoxihax's topic in Second Skin Sound Deadening and Automotive Insulation!
no smell fom my car at all, and I live in a hot caribbean island : Martinique !! I have Damplifier pro in my front doors and Damplifier in the trunk and trunk lid. I have a layer of Fatmat under the Damplifier in the trunk (was smelling hard the first week !). -
You bought it in August? It should be a gen 2 Btl, not the just released UFO style BTL N2.

There's something I don't understand. The OP said he was looking for 2 12" or 1 15". The title says $800 for a sub, not for sub AND amp. And he has all the electrical upgrades. I have vision problems, or what ?!!! Just for example, OP, you can have 2 Bls or even Btls with $800 (for the BTL you will need to add shipping charges to your budget). The choice is huge!!! Tell us more about your goals, and the volume available. good luck:drinks:

I want to order one N2, but I don't know if everything is ok for Fi. What kind of delays to build and ship a 12" sub ? Will I have it for Xmas if I order this week ?! I need more info before I pull the Paypal trigger !!!

An aerport is a port ! A ported box is a box with a port, aero or L port. No hybrid, just a ported box !

CD vs iPod
notorious97200 replied to DBz's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
If you uncompress an mp3 file, you will never go back to the original sound of the cd. Even on rap you can listen to the difference. I use mp3 files on burnt cds, but I must admit that an original cd will give you the best quality. I still buy some cd from time to time ! -
What kind of box do you have ? Maybe it is too big ? I switched mine too :I had a 3.5 ft3 L ported box for my SSA Xcon, and it was taking all my cargo area. Now I have a 3.1 ft3 ported box with 2 x 4" aeroports(flared), and now it sounds much better, takes less room, and it's even louder (port is firing to the side, instead of firing up). I would not put a BTL in a sealed box. You can get it rebuild to a 12" , so that you can use a smaller box. Good luck !

flare ports
notorious97200 replied to dmanson's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
You may want to use pvc pipe, because I don't know if you can find 22" ports. Just get the flared ends and the ring connectors. Take a look at Madisound too : I bought my 2 4" aeros (psp) ports from them. They are sooo fast, they answered to all my emails like I was the only customer they have !!! Great customer service ! and Yes flared aero ports do sound good. You'll love them ! -
2 duals 4 : yes you can wire them to 1 ohm for your amp. Look for an amp that can give you about 1000 watts rms at 1 ohm. The Kenwood is not the best solution : not really stable at 1 ohm ! even if they tell you it is 1 ohm stable !!! Sundown YES, Audioque maybe, Audiopipe why not (the cheapest). You can find some cheap Clarion too !
