thread officially jacked, lol the ports depend on what shape your subs are. then theyre scaled down. square subs = sqaure ports round subs = round ports etc -

not everyone on this site is as great, as smart, or as awesome as you are. -
honestly, i love the pioneer premeir lineup. when people are tight on money, and i dont have deals on anything else, this is what i reccomend every time. awesome clarity, performance without denting your wallet. especially when compared to other subs. but just because these are awesome subs doesnt mean committ. what are you aiming for in a system?

whats the plan for the sound system?

Sub suggestions...
TeamHT replied to jdubs's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
only thing i would ever compare is the price. 4 of those would make nice boom boom without a dent to someones wallet. they are awesome speakers which obviously wouldnt compare to some of the more spl oriented subs. i was only throwing out a suggestion which would make good use of his space and not hurt his wallet. -

i bought 2 just because they were so cheap, and they performed SO nicely. just built a couple weeks ago a box for 4 12s, he ended up going with the pioneer championships. he was on a budget but this thing POUNDS. and theyre so cheap. look online and you can find them for really low prices. not all cheap stuff is cheap -

pioneer championships -
reducing the pulley size on the alternator to make it spin faster at the same engine speed can increase low RPM charge output, but it also carries many negatives which include increased parasitic drag, decreased belt life and thrown belts at higher revs. Keep in mind, typically underdrive crank pulleys are used on high performance engines to slow down accessories, not provide more idle amps. i would just find an alternator, heaps on this site, that have great idle amps. so much safer and more efficient in the long run
-
i honestly would have gone with a different choice, but which series do you have? i think ad244 is a gm replacement for oem, but comes in 140, 170, 200, 250, and 350. im going to assume you have either the 140 or 170... you can upgrade the big 3, very important and a good way to utilize more from the new alternator. but i believe amps at idle are dependant on the product and company, not really possible upgrades that can be done
-
i think the question needs a bit more clarification... are you asking if there is any way you can draw any more power from your stock alternator?

of course a well built sub can be played right out of the box, but i always like to play it safe. theres no real timelimit cookie cutter time thats going to work for every sub. i run new subs free air until you can see a dramatic difference in the stiffness -

woofersetc.com, sonicelectronix, onlinecarstereo i would reccomend pioneer championships (lol) -
i am running 3 15" fi btls, and 2 t4000s. i was seriously going to run at 16volts, but decided i didnt need that much. maybe later when i can make enough room for all the batteries. i was short on money since most of the money went to doing the caddy front end conversion (03 silerado) and many other cosmetic things, i used 2 d3100s which was reccomended from xs for daily use but 4 minimum if i wanted to use it in any comps. i ran the batteries until i was able to afford 3 more of the d3100s. i would definitely run 6 of the d3100s.
-
what voltage were you wanting to run? 12v, 16v? before getting 5 d3100s, i was going to go with the d1600, and would reccomend running one d1600 for every 1500 watts. super pricey, not including the shipping. but it also depends on useage, daily or competition? definitely twin alternators, but the batteries are going to come down on how you plan on using the system, as if 3 of those badboys would be for daily use only, lol and at what voltage.

honestly, it doesnt make a huge, noticeable difference. other than appearance. it doesnt matter if the engine is a sohc, grand am motor, if the engine bay is clean and spotless and the engine is shiny, it gives the impression of better performance. plus, who honestly wants to look at that? like painting, the hardest part about the engine bay is prepwork. but dont cut corners, make sure everything is sanded, taped, wires are seperated correctly and easy enough for you to put back. i wouldnt spend a lot of money on an expensive paint job, and a lot of people come to me asking to use rattlecan just to save them money. you can get everything you need at a smaller auto store. in fact, im powder coating a person valve cover right now and he asked me to do his engine bay. its a 96 eclipse gs-t, was red, but the color will soon be changing. heres a pic i just took with my cell.

Two 10"s or 12"s to handle 3k for under $400.00.
TeamHT replied to Cashdollar2009's topic in Subwoofers / Enclosures
i think hell be happier with the pioneers...lol. mind you he wont win any competitions but he will have very good, clean bass without breaking his wallet. whenever people ask to hook up speakers in their car but have no money this is what i offer. currently just finished making a box for 4 12s, and the girl is broke all the time and has only purchased 2 of them so far. two more to go and then an amp in her budget to push them. see..there i go getting sidetracked yes, i spilled some of my water into the box, lol -

nope, the amp was sufficient. it was a daily driver so it didnt need anything uber loud and was powered by a t15001bd. the lows on the team rf 12s were incredibly louder and stronger, but the clarity and quality of the pioneers was superb. especially during the highs. it became really evident when i was bumping the song love lockdown by kanye west. but my audio system wasnt the point here... the point being, because i only dont want to get sidetracked...that can happen pretty easily around this time, is that you can get the subs for about $150 each. and they will handle the power which was exactly what the OP was looking for, two 10s or two 12s that could handle 3000watts for under $400.
