Dark, just for burps or you used at 0.5 ohms daily??

Well, i posted a comment on steve´s youtube channel about this, i really thought he was putting the other 2 RF 4000.1 in the civic while the Tahoe were getting painted but he never got back with an answer, i would love to see this car with that amount of power and 2 BTL´s

ahaha so did i, i hate jealous people!

Exactly! nice thinking, also, you can change the port to one side or the other side, that way, you can try 6 different directions with a single box, that rules! Let´s wait for someone else to give some inputs...

I haven´t played with a DC Audio, but it should score very nice, nice to know that about the brutus line, i was planning on using 2 strapped @ 0.5 ohms for a burp but was a little worried because readed somewhere that they smoke at that impedance; if you manage to get the impedance veryyy low i know you´ll get a very good score dude, remember to use a lot of resine, flares, 45´s , etc. Besides that, get the boot of the sub out, play with a lot of duct tape, box positioning, box direction and all the other stuff, and of course, lots of pics When are you planning to start this project??

First of all, the brutus line can hold a 0.5 ohms burp?? are you sure isn´t gonna smoke?? Well, you have very little power, you defenitly need a bigger box than 2.8 c/f IMO, besides that, 7" or 8" it´s way to big for that small power, but you never know. I would start with a 6" port and cut down the lenght until the meter starts going down, after that, i would change to 7" port and repeat the process, if i scores better than the 6" then go to a 8" port, or, you can jump to 2 6" ports, i dunno what size of port would be better because once again, you have a very small power, that doesn´t mean you can´t get a very nice score. About the box size, as i told you in my last post, it´s always better to shrink the box than making a mistake and start with a small box that you can´t get bigger later, i would get then 3.5 c/f before sub displacement, meaning, about 3.3 c/f and just start shrinking down the box, try something like 16 x 16 x 30 then...

Well, if you don´t want to spent money on sonotubes, you can always go to a printing company and ask them to give you their cardboards tubes, they are 8" tubes, i have a printing supplies company and all our products comes in this tubes, i use them for testing and works just great, after i´m done with the retuning, i just resine it a lot on the inside and that´s it. About the tuning, once again, it´s way easier with aeroports than a slot port, you just cut the lenght until the number starts going down on the meter, if you are looking to burp on the mids 50´s i would start with a 45 hz tuning and just cut down the lenght. How much power are you gonna use?? for a 15" sub and mids 50´s , i would use between 2.5 c/f and 3 cubic feet if you are giving it a good power, but of course, it´s always easier to shrink a box than doing a new one, try to make the box as square as you can, i would do it 18 x 18 x 18 (internal measures) , you also can move it around the trunk to find the sweet spot, point the port and sub in other directions, etc etc. After you finish doing all your testing, get some 45´s , a lot of resine, flares, duct tape on the subs surrounding, move your seats, close the a/c vents, open the glove, visors and all the funny stuff that can raise your score

Aeroports rules! hehe, they sound the same, take less internal space and they are easy to fit in the box, besides that, slot ports sound well with the 12-16SQ of port per cubic feet "rule" , an aeroport needs less than that, 10-12 SQ of port per cubic feet is more than enough

Sundown !!

I bought an Hifonics 2608D refurbished, used for about a year without any problems

I think even 2 2000.1 SS strapped it´s not enough for those subs, i guess you´ll see about 1500 watts wach at the most. So, if they broke down, it´s because of clipping or something like that, not for the power because i think it´s not bad for them...

hehe nice, not always louddest thing ever it´s the best, there was one time where i only used sealed boxes with 12" subs a few times, sounded AWESOME and still loud, looking for some SQ but now, i released the beast again haha, ground pounders united!!

Lot costly!! I´m not a big fan of component kits myself, too much money for me and with the amount of pressure inside the car, i would need to spent thousends of $ to even hear the music, i always use mids and highs succesfully thank god

Well, why try anything else if you have a good experience with them and way cheaper than you are looking for? go for it!

A friend has a pair of coaxials 2xl and they sound very nice for the price, i also have 4 Powerbass 4XL mids in my swift and those things sound very loud and clear, but i don´t have any experience with component kits, i don´t doubt they sound nice actually...

haha twisted you dog! Í don´t do pics or comments about things like that because i´m new here and i don´t want to pick any fight, but you said it all hahahhaa.

Well, i always think that´s better to have extra power and set the gains right if it´s needed, but anyways, even with a 4K amp he would never give 4K to the sub, unless he is the best box builder ever, remember IMPEDANCE RISE, for SPL boxes we always try to reduce it, but for daily boxes we don´t care most of the time, besides that, voltage drops, so from a 4K, i would guess he´ll see 3K at the most! I had 3 DD´s 1510 (500 watts each sub) with a Cadence 6000.1 amp for about a year, hitting 148 dbs on my daily box without any problems, why??? 13v of voltage and final impedance of 3.5 ohms, so from 6K and wass seeing 2800 watts, the subs took them perfect!!! That said, everyone that visited my channel and commented on my videos, said woww, DD is an animal, it can take 2K each sub and they´re only 500 rms! Then YES, like NDM said, internet gives you false statement sometimes.My best friend clamped 2K on each 15" BL´s and no problems since we installed a year ago, i would guess a BTL could handle 3K for daily maybe?

I used some cheap Cadence FX for a year and those things sounded GREAT! I payed about 30$ for them hehe, good friend of the dealer, check them out and see if you can find some...

Not only that, but asking me for a sketch? dude, read the numbers i gave you and build with that, why do you need a sktch for? well, good luck....

It looks very loud for what it is, maybe put the subs up, should slam even better!

Not bad for that little power on a sealed box actually, for that power i would get about 2 cubic feet per sub, that way he can upgrade later and still have cone control and handle the power. 6 cubic feet net with about 90SQ of port tune @ 38 hz should pound really hard!

Look what 3 mtx 7500´s can do with 3K in my little car By the way, mtx regular specs, no special custom designed triple baffle 16th order bandpass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bis9aOY87z0

Damn, that´s a big ass port hehe, thanks for the specs mate!

Ever metered?? what´s the size of the box and port? sounds nasty, i would love to do a single 12" setup like this someday

YEssss, give him the song name so i can get it from Zip 14
