i need help on getting the wire from the sub to the amp. i don't want to cut holes in the box to put the wire through. Ive seen people use like... bolts and the put those into the box, then attach the wire to those. is that efficient? or can someone recommend me a way to do it. thanks
bolts is the best way to do it. It secured and air sealed.
what can i use to keep the bolt from spinning when i connect the wires? i dont wanna take a sub out and hold the bolt every time i wanna rewire from 4 ohms to 1.

i had to remove my whole backseat just to get my boxes in..
ik this is so offtopic, but we should meet up, i wanna get a demo of your set up! looks amazing.
-
so easy to make yourself, youtube how to flare them. super cheap too!

863 as in lakeland Florida?
Thats right.
yeah i still have all of that junk somewhere around here. ill pm you with my email

2 12s/10s
im really diggin that idea as well. i would only do 15s if i had more than enough space.
-
yeah whats it drop down to?
-
IMO, i think 15s in trunks are kinda iffy. Do-able, but iffy. I have a friend with 1 P3 15 on 600rms in 5 cubes. Another of my friends has 2 P3 15s in 1600rms in 6 cubes. both are trunked cars. The single 15 on 600rms KILLS the 2 15s on 1600.
make the most out of that trunk man, id try a single 15 with a good amount of clean power in 5 or 6 cubes, tuned low.

Vehicle:
2007 Subaru Impreza sedan
Substage Equipment:
15 inch Rockford T2 ( Dual 4 for what it's worth )
Rockford T1000-1bdcp
Here is where I would like to get everyones opinion about my " issue " with my car. My problem is that loading an enclosure will be tricky because my trunk lid opening is low and narrow; which leaves me with no other option then to build in the trunk. Next is I can't decide for the life of me how big I want it and where I want the port to fire. I'm leaning towards porting through the armrest in my backseat but would consider porting through the rear deck. I would like to tune it around 30hz or so.
How do you guys think I should build it, where should I fire the port, etc.
i had the same problem with my trunk. i dont like firing port towards the cabin, because it seems to me that low end response isnt as good. i tried sub up, port back and it sounded great. idk how small an impreza trunk is, but with my car, i did 32w x 14.5h x 24d with a port that was 13h x 4w and 19 inches long, tuned to 35. left me with about 4 cubes after port displacement. crystal clear and hit lower than a mothafucka

IMO, i would go with a single 6, 8" seems like it'd be too big for those woofers
no proven difference between an aero or a slot, depends on the box tbh, my old slot port box sucked for my sa12s, went with an aero and shits beast, and moves hella air, my buddy had aeros for his 8s, went slot and got the same results as me
imo, if your tight on space i'd go aero.. and where you plan on having port located? going for numbers with port on driver side?, subs and port firing back, or towards the cabin?
every other source is telling me that for the box size, a 6" would be too small, and an 8 would be perfect. I plan on subs back, port side. Does it really matter what side the port fires from?
-
i talked to one of the guys from TNESPL on the phone today and I ordered one of these ports. It will be for a pair of Type R 12s in a 4.3ft box, should be tuned around 33hz.
How will this sound over a basic slot port?

box rise...i would go with 2 HDCs on a 3k amp or 2 2200s strapped would get those moving
lol i dont want my daily driver to be 4400watts.
If he doesn't want a 4400 watt DD, he doesn't want a 4400 watt DD.
Box rise doesn't change the fact it is more power than he wants to run.
i really dont understand this box rise thing.

im also looking at these Tech Force Igor series by DC audio. any info?
I had one and I was very pleased with it off an aq1200.
If you didn't know, its a Lvl4 with an inverted dustcap
yeah thats why I want them, DCs with better prices haha. whats an inverted dustcap though?
-
I'm just going by what's in your sig, but you aren't planning on running 2 18's in the trunk of your Monte are you?
nononoooo hahaha im just running some type rs on an AB VFL 80.1 till the car takes a shit (which is soon i hope). Im lookin into some trailblazers or explorers.
-
or should i look into a 3k American Bass amp? Im thinking they could handle 1500 apiece... i get a deal on american bass, thats why im asking.
than you gonna need to add extra battery or 2.
just stick with 2 hdc 15 with aq2200. decept price and good quality
yeah i was already planning on getting a HO alt and a beefy kinetik

If your only getting a single AQ 2200, why spend the extra money to get two subs. Just get one AQ HDC3 and be happy. It'll take up less space, and you save 300$. Just my opinion. What vehicle btw?
Im just brainstorming ideas for my next car or truck (getting this fall). i'm thinking 2 subs, mainly because i'm a "never satisfied" type of guy. I know (vehicle depending) that one sub wont do it for me. if i end up getting a coupe or hatch, yeah all i'll need is a 15, but then again, if i end up just getting one sub, im gonna want 3k+.

i have been thinking about my next build. just a really loud daily driver, not underpowered, and not pushing any limits. i really want a pair of HDC 15s or 18s, but i also want enough power to get things poppin. would the aq2200d be enough for 2 HDCs? i heard they can handle alot more than 1000rms apiece. any info would be helpful!

ON A BTL...
-
would you go with the aq2200-d, PowerBass ASA1500.1Dx, RE Audio XTX5000.1, or give me your honest opinion i'm probably going to be running a 1-18" RE mt spl, or either the btl, or soundstream if i can get my hands on them. Mechman 270 alt, will probably go with 1-2 Kinetik HC1800, yellow top will serve for my car alone. Box will be build to 6.7^ft tuned to 32hz with a slot port
And i was thinking 8 gauge for speaker wire
id go with the AQ. I would completely direguard the powerbass and RE. Personally, i think i would do a hifonics BRZ2400d...maybe.

never seen an amp without outputs
-
you run the rca's from the HU to the DR amp input. Then run rca's from the DR amp output to the Warhorse input i believe, someonw correct me if im wrong.
-
No one can know what would be better for you than you, get the one that costs the least and call it a day.
hahaha honestly thats really good advice, i was actually thinking of doing that.
sub/port firing

im running a pair of type Rs on 1200rms. due to space limitations, one of these alignments seems like it would work best for my car, but i have no clue how they would end up sounding. throw me some "IMO"s!
will either of these cause a cancellation? or a gain?
