No, I ran out of space for more speakers so this was the only area left. Just wondering what happens to the sounds waves...if anything.

Building a wall in my four door Focus. two ported 18"s, and I want to put a couple mids in their own sealed chamber. Is it alright to put mids in there, will the subs have any effect on them, if everything is firing forward?

Motherfucking Suger Cock! I found the little fucker! In a plastic bag, on the floor, behind my chair! God dammit now I gotta back out and work in the dark. I seriously went through ever room in the house, every box, even went through all the cars, and even sheds. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy

I can't colm down. It was way too much money and I babied the shit out of it. But KNOWING that a faceplate is interchangeable helps. Thanks guys.

No god damn way this is happening. Just received my DD-1. Went out to the money pit on wheels, got everything ready. Oh, faceplate must be on my desk somewhere. It wasn't. I refurnished my bedroom last weekend and have been driving my other car. It's a Pioneer Avic-N5 http://www.navigadget.com/wp-content/postimages/2008/08/pioneer-avic-n5.jpg Can I call Pioneer, or even buy a used unit, or refurbished, and use a different faceplate for my radio? Or am I screwed, and have to buy a new radio? I'm so pissed I can't even see straight.

It has to be Rockford because it says Rockford on the cable. Save your money, buy from here, http://www.powerwerx.com/ Can't get any better than 100% copper.

He's mentioned it a couple times, the lip makes the wheels look a little smaller then he would like them to. People did a bunch of photoshops with different colours and the new ones are going to look pure sickness.

Thanks for getting back to me, I'll have to pass, I'm sure you understand

You bastards! I though Ontario Canada! I was finally going to see some loud ass setups. God damnit. LOL too late anyway.

^^ouch

Looks good, I was going to a 4th for my 10"s, what are the outside dimensions? And why is there a 45 in the sealed chamber?

I can't wait for mine! I guess shipping to Canada takes a long ass time.

Way too much power, I can't justify paying close to $1k on just one sub, shipping and duty, and then trying to sell it if I don't like it...Maybe next car. Now I have to decide on three sundown Z's or Fi Q's

EVERYTHING on SMD is over kill, lol Trippi's hummer overkill much?

no, you were told to run at 1ohm on a 2k over 4 ohm on a 9k. and you are laughing at this guy for wasting money on 4g speaker wire? Laughing at ohm's law, money spending is always personal

You are wasting "wattage" when you run at lower resistance. Your amp isn't as efficient, that means you need WAY more power from the source to produce your "wattage" Example with random numbers. Amp needs 10 amps from alternator to make 100 watts at 4 ohm Amp needs 100 amps from alternator to make 100 watts at 1 ohm, the rest is heat, in the wire, in the alternator. It's like a teenager running at 10 miles an hour vs. a senior citizen running at 10 miles an hour. The teenager can do it for days. he senior citizen is long dead by now. Think of your poor alternator 100 amps to make 100 watts at 1ohm? I think your math is off. based on that math, i am drawing 1500 amps in my set up. (sorry, i see the random numbers comment now) You are right, efficiency is lower at lower resistances, but it isn't nearly as much as you think it is. If you can't support 3k watts @ 1ohm, you very likely can't support 3k watts @ 4ohms. I just think it will help out running at 4 ohm because I am powering other things in the car, 30+ speakers and 17 T.Vs

How violent is that? Hatchback?

^^ LOL so true. Couple minutes ago I was just told to run at 1 ohm because that makes you loud Some people.

You would rather run at 1 ohm than 2 or 4? I was going to get a 7.5k on the two 12's, but if I'm running three 10"s then I'm going to need a 9k. The subs are still getting the power, it's just the car electrical I'm worried about, LOWER RESISTANCE = MORE AMPS. My car can't make those amps. To everyone else, thank you

Cleaner power...less heat. Basically, more efficient, look at any amp's birthsheet...the efficiency is amazing at 4 ohms. I have a Mechman 200, can't fit a bigger one, and three Kinetik 1400's. Want to add 2 more. I don't mind paying for a 7.5k, should never have the need to upgrade an amp

Can't run at 1 ohm people, not enough power from the alternator. So run like 3k RMS at 4 ohm I can't do a wall because I built panels for the back doors and my middle seat is a console with two 10"s and an amp, way too much work and money to just scrap Wall in my next car for sure. so three 10"s?

Hey SMD, My dumb Ford Focus can't fit a 8 cubic feet box with room for more batteries and amps. I had a 15" and it took up alot of room. So I thought if I build it inside the trunk I could fit two 15" sealed off from the trunk. It's not going to work out. My question.... Should I go with two 12"s or three 10"? Yes I want loud or I would have stayed with one 15" Either Sundown Z or Fi Q Sealed off from the trunk subs and port into cabin. Using a DC 9K or 7.5k running at 4 ohm. No rush, just want some input from all you knowledgeables so I can start planning Thanksies

So I guess you don't want to sell the sub to Canada?

What would it cost to ship that sub to Ontario? USPS, nothing fast or fancy, postal code - L1S 2K7?
