If your friend had his whole trunk taken up by those two L5's he made the box bigger to compensate for power loss... I ran two 15 comps @ 3cft each and still had massive room in my grand prix,it was sealed though but I'd imagine a port single 15" should be fine. I could design you a box but im not gonna bother until you decide.

My friend was running two 12" L5's @ 2ohm off an Alpine MRP-2000.1 with the gain all the way up (he didn't care kid makes 3000 a month for free) they didnt kick off or smell after about 5 good minutes, I was as surprised as you are my friend. and theres nothing wrong with square subs, they sound terrible but they do put out a worthy punch. Don't go with the memphis it'd be a big mestake, if you can't do a big box than 2 12's and a single 15 are probably not up your alley. I'd opt for a good single 12 or two 10's and build a small box. tbh 3-3.5cft isn't that big in a grand prix you could MAYBE get to your spare tire depending how the box's dimensions are.

You'll want about 104amps for ever 1500RMS. You'll want atleast 4kw on that badboy so I'd say you'd need about 300amps + whatever your vehicle calls for to effectivly runt hat subwoofer with no clipping. I'd hitup mechman or DC alts and get a good 300amp alternator and another yellow top.

I like Memphis but those two 12's are only 500RMS while the 15" L5 is 750 (perfect for the amplifier) not to mention i've seen 12" L5's take 1000RMS daily. I've also owned a Grand Prix 97 and they have huge trunks you need to build a new box. I would keep the 15" and build a box subwoofer and port to the rear. (I ran two 15's in my grand prix you can do 1 15" easy) I'd suggest running RMS off the amplifier (probably around 1000) to the subwoofer (if your electrical can handle it, which stock electrical can probably do 1000rms) Build a box 35hz @ 3.5cft net ported and fire them both to the rear should be a lot louder.

What exactly are we watching here and why? heh...

Haha, This guys a fucking retard... Running a 1990 Jeep 2 dr with two of Fi's lowest line subwoofers and hes ragging on this dude? Jesus. I guess you are a "budget" bumper or just a loser.

DD M series are made to run at maximum voltage (rms) at around 11-12v I would aim to just get a steady 13v and no more. I think you could get away with two XS1200's and one in the front personally. Thats the whole point to this amplifier, if it wasn't for that ability it wouldnt be worth $1400. I just saw its the m4a not the m3a so you might need two 3100's and a 1200 but thats ALL if you had that youd be 14v stable. Also you alternator might stuggle a little given that you need 300a alone for the amplifier then 60/90/120 for the vehicle, you'll get voltage drop eigther way.

This question is asked daily, you could maybe try searching the forums for the answer.

DD page is down for buying so I need a used/new DD m2a/m3a (dont need m4a) thank you

I do a 147 off 1500RMS without clean signal (i drop to like 11.5-12v full tilt) I'm upgrading to another 18" this summer and another 1500RMS so trust me I am going "big" I m not talking about xplods and stuff like that ONLY I'm saying a subwoofer that costs $100 in a box built can sound louder than a $300 subwoofer in a crappy box and that is what intices me into audio. I've heard 150+ systems and ones that rock my head off, I'm just saying the build process isn't as interesting because this site is mostly elitist and almost ALL you see is big builds. DC Wall here, Fi wall there, Tahoe here, Yukon there. I like seeing someone take a 10" in a CRX and get 150dB and only spend $1000. I guess what I'm getting at is, its just more interesting seeing newbies do work and come out ontop or seeing small cheap systems being very effective, I have seeing $10,000 systems doing a 155+ all days its not that amazing or suprising to be honest. First thing I think of when I see "4 18" walled 20,000rMS" is ok another 155+ in an SUV big whoop. then I turn around and see some dude that at the same level of know how as me with a 1,000$ system doing almost the same score its LIKE dude thats COOL AS HELL and btw prefab or not those hifonics WANG in that car I was suprised hence what made me more interested

Shit I didnt even realize it was an 07 thread lmfao, regaurdless Locktite was invented then I believe

I LOVE GUCCI TIME but... it doesnt pound AT ALL heres a remix that hits the lows 10x harder imo a better song

I like it a lot man can't wait to hear it bump, I've been seeing a lot of mid-entry level builds on here lately and its exciting me

Or mommy and daddy buys it, ive seen more than a handful of 16 year olds on here that their parents buy them $1000 subwoofers for christmas its just sad. Even at 16 I bought all of my own stuff, which is why I started out with two punch 1's lol.

Prefab box? I don't know what you're talking about? The hifonics one I saw was two of them in a custom built box I believe? or was the a prefab? Looked custom to me. I can see how a 150+ is gratifying but the cost and work to get there almost makes it not as gratifying... When you start out with a single 10" off crappy power in a prefab and work your way to 145+ in 1 upgrade or even two from the knowledge you've gained it just seems more gratifying ive had 6 different builds and so far im the least happy with my 18" and the BEST build ive done so far. It just seems so bland and normal now in comparison. I like when people can make two xplods as loud as two DC's just cause of their install I dont know theres a ton of variables but Merk said it best, just more companies in mid/entry level offer more, once you're into $400 subwoofers the options seem to drop and everyone has the same thing. and im talking about build logs , not just overall the end result... I like to see a newbie come on here gain knowledge from us and build then more often than not the shit wangs in the end and they're so happy it just seems awesome compared to OH another DC wall or oh another SMD doing 10,000rms its cool but I dont know it just doesnt pull me in like it did, of course when I first got to this site with my two 15" kickers I was wowed by that stuff ubt now that I have 147+ db's off a singe 18" it doesnt excite me anymore. and it excites me even less cause now when I get in my friends cars I dont even enjoy the bass unless its ripping my ears off.

It is off topic so if it needs to be moved so be it. and yeah i agree once you hit say 140db+ from there its not as gratifying. In my opinion atleast, the first time i bumped my 18 it was like WOAH now its MEH

I like it man these budget entry builds are my steeze The funnest part about systems is bettering them not even really the end result I love knowing I went from nothing but walmart crap and now im the loudest in my town haha.

Serioulsy ive seen soo many LVL5 or SMD builds or 18" AA or something to that effect that they're getting boring... I'm actually finding myself more entertained by the "noob" builds or entry builds as I can see people develope and give some criticism without elitism. I dont know I guess im weird but just my 2 cents like rght now theres a few wall builds up but im looking at the hifonics subwoofer build

I started out with a 15" fi SSD off 400rms it made my rearview go from straight to staring at the floor made it a little loose I used lock-tite on it was NEVER loose again and the screw comes out easy after (why would none of your think of locktite? its what the shits made for) now my 18" off 1500rms forget about it my mirror has fallon off 3 times now its under my seat

Bass Boost or Sound Enhancer (on my pioneer) adds dB level boost to the frequency, I would suggest against using it, most likely will produce clipping.

On eBay you can get Kicker KS components for $100 a pair and they do 75rms a speaker. My friend uses these in a Yukon off a Kicker ZX840.4 and they sound amazing. http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Kicker-KS6502-2-Way-6-1-2-Car-Component-Speakers-/160524494048?pt=Car_Speakers&hash=item25600164e0#ht_915wt_905

The funny thing is most of you are of age think alcohol poisoning is fun... "YEAH MAN FINISH THE KEG WITH 2 PEOPLE UR A PUSSY" heh a keg is huge. We have a part with 25 people and 2 kegs and yes we finished them off, but you guys saying 10 people drinking 2 kegs is one night is RETARDED, I would doubt if you "pussys" were almost halfway to the hospital if it wasnt for your retarded friends being as drunk as you. Honestly beer isn't even that BIG if you want to act rugged drink a half gallon of whiskey in 2 hours like I did, know why I did it? cause someone called me a pussy and said I couldnt do it. Know why I havn't done it since? Cause I threw up blood all over myself puked for a constant hour (like straight acid,bile and liquid/blood.) then my dumbass punched a tree as hard I could and completely broke my hand which cost me $10,000 to fix WITH insurance. Before that night I use to polish a half gallon in a night on a nightly bases I was an alcoholic and I thought it was COOL and BADASS of me to down that much alcohol because my friends did. Personally I drink I dont even drink beer an I can drink a 30 rack to my head and still be ready to roll I drink a 1/5th of good liqour and Im on the top of the counter passed out. You guys wanna act rugged stop trying to drink $300 kegs in 1 night and try drinking a $30 half gallon of whiskey or vodka. I'm not hating, drink till you drop is the motto especially if you're 21-30, but be smart and stop egging people to drink more setting the standard higher, I almost ruined my life because of that my brothers an alcoholic because of me, I told him to start drinking whiskey when he barely drank he partie at my house everynight and now he drinks a 5th a day (no lie A DAY) and wont stop (he even got 2 DWI) and I broke the habbit cause I almost DIED. Just be smart people, seriously just cause you're 21 and can drink a ton of beer without feeling so much as a buz doesnt mean you cant push your limit, one of these times it'll happen. and yall can tell me to chill or that u can drink me under the table. Well that MIGHT be true, but the fact is everyone has their limit and their day. When you're so drunk you pass out like that dude on the stairwell THATS alcohol poisoning the system shuts down and you go night night, during that ime ur brain is hemeriging and dying cell by cell (almost 10x the rate at which weed does.) this usually causes "shock" and "convulsions" which can lead to brain damage or suffocating from ur own puke. When you're at that state you've drank wayyyyy too much and should have stopped 10 beers ago. Im not your parents, just think before you do thats all im 21 most of my stupid shit happened when I was like 18 years old so I was still a kid i'd expect you guys that are 25-30 to know better to be honest. Oh well , cant say I didnt warn you.

Walmarts Pioneers are not junk... I bought a DEH4200UB off them for $150 ($50 cheaper than ebay.) and ive had it almost a year now with NO problems has all my adjustments and everything runs my system proper and ALSO has 4v preout (which almost NO HU has in that price range.) Honestly dude go to walmart pickup that deck (Pioneer DEH4200UB) and then save another $200 and go on ebay and buy two sets of Kicker KS650's (or whatever size you need im guessing since its and SUV it uses 6x5's.) that will be a GREAT start. Will cost you about $350. Then from there you just need a 4 channel, wiring a mono block and subwoofer/box and you're bangin like a pro.

Ok good then I guess ill be spending $700 D: but oh well atleast it'll be done right and ill run a stable 3kw hopefully
