  1. Until my 15's come in for my blow through build I am running the JL 13's and they are awesome for a sub only being 3 1/2 inches thick. I know everyone hates JL but they knocked it out of the park on this sub. I ran the kicker 12 shallows before the JL 13's and there is just no comparison. I recently added a 2nd hd 750, so I am running 750 watts to each sub and the are awesome.

    Hope that helps

    Pm me if you want any more info on them

  2. Well I travel with this cat all summer long when goes to show that are to far for me to take my truck to (6 MPG ftl ) so I don't know who is more excited about me wanting to get loud him or myself.

    Plus I buy all of my equipment from this shop and they take good care of me. Ihave to keep all my buying in town. With being the sales manager of a small business in a town of 9k people you can't buy off the internet or out of town.

  3. Well this truck I'm the making of being turned into a show truck and I don't have a garage until the wife decides we are going to buy a bigger house so I can get my garage. Living in Montana I need all the protection I can get from the elements of weather, like right now its currently -20 with no windchill.

    Also just made another score, the Guy that hooked me up with the t4k just called and asked if I wanted 3 of his kinetic battery's for 100 bucks.

    Now I just need to get my alt ordered.

  4. Well I'm the past I have been the SQ Guy of the group, hence all of the JL equipment. I will be keeping all of the JL mids.

    I am just sick of always being the Guy that comes home with no trophies from the shows cause I'm tuned for SQ. I must say that I do love the way my shallows sound and they pound for what they are, but its time to get into the 50 club and start moving some air.

    And don't worry where will be plenty of pics on this and ill post up a pic of the subs in a bit.

  5. So I have a regular cab pickup with 2 JL 13" shallows currently and I am wanting some more bass.

    A good friend of mine has 4 DD 2515's just laying around so I bought them today and going to start a blow through this early spring.

    What I am wondering is, I have another friend that has a t4k that needs to be rebuilt. He said that I can have the amp and just get it repaired, is that amp going to be enough power for those DD's?

    The subs are dual 2 ohm.

    Thanks for the info in advance

  6. Ya Jl a decent brand it's just the whole idea of spending ALOT more on the "same" or lesser product. IMO only.

    They are a bit pricey but i am running 2 of them off of the JL 1000/1 now instead of the HD750 and im doing 141.3 in the kick in a regular cab pickup with door open and 135 sealed on the dash. I dont think that is do bad for a sealed enclosure and a bit underpowered.

  7. I run 2 of the JL 13TW5's and they are amazing. 3/4 of a cubic foot box throw 500 watts to one of them and you will be very happy. I ran the kickers before them and it was a night and day difference. I know that I will probably be raped for telling someone to buy JL on this site, but for the shallow sub market it is my opinion that they probably make the best one out there.

    This one would do the job for ya.

    just like car audio, power is the most important thing. If you run to much off not enough power you will be buying / building a new computer. Just had a customer that didnt listen to me and put a big G-Card in and sound card, and came in today with a burnt mother board.

    Antec is another company that I will alway's use cause of there products. Alway's have had great luck with them.

    Hope this helps.

  9. A very good friend of mine run's a single 18" X off of a T3k, and it sounds awesome and get's low low. The only thing with his set up is that the sub get's pretty smelly after about 30 min's of pounding on it.

    His spl vehicle run's 4 12" solo-x's off of a stetsom 14k and it does 157.4 so I would never say that Kicker is junk. But for the money I think there is better stuff out there.

    We both know that there is better stuff out there for a cheaper price, it's just that we support local business and we are in a town of 9k people and only 1 shop. So they carry kicker, rf, and jlaudio. Hince the reason that I run all JL and he run's all Kicker.

    Not sure if this helps you out at all, but as said earlier the 18" sounds great when put into the right box with the right amount of power. As for the power recommendations 5k is great for burps, but I personally would not put 5k to it at all times. Say in that 2500-3000 watt range and you will be very happy.

  10. lmao at all of the beggers on here. I have been doing car audio since i was 14 years old and im now 31, and I have never once asked for a hand out. Do the work.... and if your good enough people will start hooking you up with product, but until you do the work and prove that you can rep the product people wont give you shit, espically begging for it.

    god this shit pisses me off
