Right thats what im thinking now... Maybe i'll get some 10" instead, or just say fock it and get some nicer 12" Right now my subs arent playing correctly and i cant figure out the problem. Its making really mad that i want to get rid of it...

Hey every little bit helps in this car!!! It has a tiny motor lol But maybe im also not satisfied with the type r's as well... I just need an excuse to change haha

I do the speed limit, maybe 5 mph over at the most, unless im in a hurry in the city lol. I keep it at 60 most of the time but it crawls up to 70 when im not constantly checking on the highway. I think its mostly cuz of the new gf where she lives, its in the hills man! So i think thats whats killing me, hence me wanting to lose some weight in the trunk. I just checked the tire pressure a few weeks ago... could do it again tho.

Wow i think im going to get them... They just seem so much nicer than the type R in every aspect!!!

anything?

any ideas??

Its my gas saving hyundai accent hatchback lol. I guess its cuz i really doubled the amount of driving with hills thats killing me, but every pound loss really helps out, and i could use an excuse to try something new lol

Currently i got 2 alpine type r 12" in a prefab box. But ive been driving a lot lately and filling up every 3 days is starting to kill me, being a full time college kid with school just starting dont help either lol So i been thinking about switching to 2 SA-8". They look like some beastly little subs! I would make my own box for them... Just wanted to know if i would loose a lot of "bass" by making the switch and if it would shed some pounds too. Im thinking it would cuz smaller box = less wood, but i have no idea how heavy those 8" subs are. Then again i really dont know... Any ideas? Smart switch or dumb. Thanks a lot for the help

Bump for help and advice, thanks

Bump for anymore help and advice?? Thanks

It is more price dependent than size dependent. There is no real space limit, but I'd like to get it for under $80 And I could even do 100 RMS / 200 Max if that was a bit cheaper. cheap little 2 ch. amp, http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_33466_Kenwood-KAC-1502S.html

its at 3.5 cu ft. right now tuned to 36hz. it shouldnt be too bad. and i was hoping the air coming out the port would reflect off the rear windshield, hence the design. Im pretty happy with the 2 sub box tho. Im more concerned with getting a 4 sub setup, or 3 if there will be an improvement over 2. All i know is after i build this box im going to want to upgrade haha

Heres another pic of the box side Where do you recommend mounting the amps... cuz theres pretty much no where else unless i pull a meade and mount them under the box... but then i'd need fans and stuff, which i dont mind if thats what it takes. i dont think the 2 12" are smothered really. I could alway raise the amp rack higher. thats just a sketch...

Yeah well i have a problem with my setup at the moment where its not playing as loud as it did on day 1 for some reason, i still gotta find the reason as to why... I got an mb quart amp and its supposedly 1500 rms @ 1 ohm haha but idk exactly what its putting out. I am going to build my own box, this is what it will look like with the amps on top. How come? I already got a quick sketchup of my 2 12" plus another 2 10" but i kinda wanna keep it all 12" Would it be bad if i had 2x12" and 2x10"?? Heres a rough sketch of what im hoping i can do

Yup which is why i wanna know what i can fit back there, and how powerful it has to be lol I know hair tricks are really hard but thats at the least my goal for this car. I think it will be a little easier cuz i have a very small hatchback but then again nothing in this life is easy haha. I just wanted to know the proper steps in getting there before i start anything. I'm thinking about getting a custom alt by mechman but idk how many amps i need them to make it. Well across is like 34" and its like 16" in the middle and 14" on the side and in the picture its 20", but i think max would be 30" to the roof, but it would have to kinda form to the roof I want this box to take up the whole trunk in like a mini clamshell design... I'm thinking i cant fit 4 12" in there what you guys think. thanks for the help

Hey guys, right now i have 2 alpine type R (2011 model) and it was really loud for 3 days and something happened to were its no longer loud. It still hits but its definitely noticeable volume drop. I checked the voltage at the amp and at resting it was like 14.0v and when it hit it went down to 12.5v. I dont think thats the issue. I believe that maybe some of the wires inside the box may have went bad. I know the terminal cup in this prefab box sucks so I'll have to check it out. But even when it was playing loud... still lightweight disappointing. I need more bass!!! So i'm thinking about doing 4 x 10" or 4 x 12" or 2 x 15" possibly 2 x 18". Each sub will be 1000 watts rms. I'm not 100% sure on my airspace but it will all go in the trunk of my accent, which is kinda small. But i don't mind taking up the whole trunk with a clamshell type design. I just don't want to take out the backseats just yet, i still use them regularly. Just wanted to know what you guys thought on what would be best. I want it at least to do a hair trick lol Everything is still on the planning stage so whatever you guys want to say go ahead, like if the subs need to handle more than 1000 rms just lemme know. Im open to all suggestions and criticism!!! You can check out my build to see what i got at the moment... Thanks a lot

I do the same! He has a piano song that i think is amazing!!

What time! im like barely 2 hours away...

test

Hopefully haha

Fuck wold star hip hop. They don't ever put the full story out. Fucking thank you! Yeah you are going to get shot if you pull out your gun and shoot the cops first. that guy was scum tho. Already convicted for forcing a 14 year old into prostitution and then he was wanted in question with a murder in washington and fled to SF... So yeah justice was served lol

I'm in the bay area.. close enough! I dont know shit about box building. Just basic installs. I'd love to come by and actually learn stuff in person! This sounds like a great idea!!
