AQ 2200, RF T2500-1bdCP? What's your budget?
-
It just slots into place mate but I will be using a L bracket from the glovebox fixing to the side of the box to make sure it is very secure but the wooden one which was heavier didn't move at all so I doubt this one will, it just fits between the floor and underside of the glove box I will take a picture of it in place so you can see.

Thanks man, I really want to see how you did this lol the box looks great!
-
Looks great! How are you going to go about mounting it under the glovebox? Just curious, I've seen people do this before and it sounds great, I was wondering how hard it is to do...
-
Those caps looks great, and those are some SEXY subs!
-
Great install!
-
Dude, I feel your pain, the last two boxes I had built were $500 or more. You're definitely making the right decision doing it yourself.
-
Blow-through lol jp, I'm sure you'll figure something out

Congrats! That's an awesome score!

Damn that's nice!

Can't wait to see who wins! I'll definitely be adding some more DC wear to my closet once these go on sale!

What do you not like about it?

The size of your enclosure

It's pretty hard to tell in the picture, but that jacket looks pretty thick, I really doubt that is true 0 gauge. Just saying man, but if you're dropping that kind of money on a woofer and an amp, spend the little bit extra and get good power and ground wire, there is no sense going cheap on something like that, it can damage your system. You can get 20 ft of true 1/0 from KnuKonceptz, their Kolosus Fleks wire, and it's only $68 for actual 1/0 that is going to be way more flexible and easier to run.

Yeah that's where they test. They do underrate, but I don't really buy the birth sheet stuff, all the birth sheets for mine are between 1700-1800 RMS, but that's under ideal conditions that you'll never achieve in a car. I just really dig the new CP's for anybody who does any type of competing since it can help offset impedance rise. RF definitely makes some BA amps, they're about as solid as can be (although they can be a little pricey if you don't have anybody to hook you up lol). Although you can't go wrong with a Sundown 1500, or really even the AQ 1200 if you're on any type of budget at all. But I'd definitely check out for sale sections on sites to see if you can pick up an RF T1500-1bd, CP or not, I know I'm selling one of my extras, and they can be found used in great condition for a really good price on a lot of these forums.

Sexy Stang! Love seeing people try to get loud in them!
-
Well, if you get the new T1500-1bdCP, it produces the same power at 1 ohm that it does at 2. This means that if you wire your sub down to 1 ohm on that amp, even with some impedance rise, your sub will still see all 1500 watts. But don't discredit Sundown, they make great products, I'm just a little biased towards RF lol and the 1500 watts RF amps are great, I have 3 T1500-1bd's in my 'stang.
-
Welcome to the good guys side, you'll love that sub! And don't worry, you're type R won't even come close to the DC
Post some pics once you get it! -
Remove the prices from your post

I'd still go XL, their good subs, they don't smell or anything like they're taking too much power or burning, I'd just do your best to keep an eye on them, try to head off any problems before they become that bad. I was just used to my T1s that took a beating and never quit, cept they wouldn't take near the power the XL's do lol. They're solid subs, just keep an eye on them... And I guess leave your window up if you're gonna really be bumping them, I dunno, I didn't think that mattered, but whatevs, still a great sub.

Looks good man! Hopefully I get to hear those little guys sometime...

I don't unload my equipment and when it happened I was playing a 40hz song when i'm to 29hz.
Lol, I don't either, I have a HPF at 30 Hz. Mine tore through on what I THINK was the new disturbed album (or might have been old Metallica) if I remember correctly. I was just relaying what they told me, that it was from high volume with the windows down. I didn't know if anybody else had had this same problem with their XL's...

I had 1700 or so a piece.
One decided to rip the surround from the cone.
Build log in sig if you'd like to see
I had my XL rip the surround right by the cone (after only a month of having it). Had DC recone it and they said that it was my fault because it "unloaded" from being played at a high volume with my windows down (pretty much an exact quote from the tech). They said my coil was torn up pretty good too, but I figure that's from having a surround rip and it playing pretty loud for a good 2-3 minutes until I could pull out of traffic to see what was up. It was bound to start banging a coil when the surround crapped out. And I only had my T1500-1bd on it. Box was 1.15 cubes at 33 Hz, playing rock when the surround died. They fixed it for free but said that it was my fault and that they wouldn't fix it again, so I'm thinking I'm gonna have to start taking it easy on the XL's (they sound so good on daily music) and swap them out for my AQ HDC3 10's for when I hit up a comp, I don't wanna have to start paying for recones from a surround that rips and tears up the coil lol.
Post some pics once you get it!
