yea i downloaded his calculator only thing it gave me was the volume. Thanks anyway very usefull tool.

is there some sort of formula to find out what a particular box is tuned for given the measurements?

was wondering if i can get some recommendations on where to set my sub sonic and low pass settings on my Hifonics BXi1606D Its for a single 12" DC Lvl 4 with the Lvl 5 coils with 1 stiff and 1 medium spider. It will be going into a sealed box approximately 1.3 and no dampening material.

Well DC it is then, just put in my order for the same set up listed above with dual 2, it will get wired at 1ohm. Hey swagg I see you have a Gbody as well, do you have a ported box? if so how is the box set up and is it sitting on the ledge? Any pictures? I would like to get a ported box made but my main issue with that is i need room in my trunk to put my T-tops.

well the amp is 1ohm stable, but im not too keen on adjustment. Im still sorta new to the whole car audio thing.

Torn between these two subs. It will be a single 12" sub going into a 1.3 sealed box powered by a hifonics 1606 wired at 2 ohms(1100RMS) SUB#1 DC audio Lv4 with the Lv5 coils and the suspension changed from 2 mediums to 1 stiff and 1 medium SUB#2 SSA ICON 12D2..here the specs •3"" wide, 4 layer, copper coils •Push terminals •Pulp Fiber Cone •Dual stiff progressive spiders •FEA optimized motor •3" Anodized alum. former •Heavy Duty Lead wires •Hand crafted in USA •Fs 29.9 •Qms 5.87 •Qes .45 •Qts .42 •Mms 212 g •Sd 480 cm^2 •Vas 43.7 l •Bl 16.4 •Spl 86.0 1W/1m •Xmax 20.5mm •Wattage: 1000wRMS •Displacement: 0.16cuft

well thanks for the help. looks like the prob with my old HU was that pico fuse. Decided to go ahead and repair it my self by bypassing the fuse. Came out great and no more eng noise, looks like ill be sticking with old faithfull for a bit longer. Shame they dont make HU like they use to. Now i dont have to buy a HU now i can def get me that new DC sub ive been looking at, thanks again.

hmmmm thats the only thing thats keeping me from making that leap, fiding out how terribly slow it is when it comes time to switch songs. And also from what ive read and been told that you cant browse through the ipod with the remote as you can directly from the HU, is this true? Ive noticed alot of the newer decks you cant browse your ipod from the remote, just change to the next or previous song. My current HU from 2007, pioneer DEH-P7900BT, i can control everything from the remote, only time i touch the HU is to show or hide the clock. Does it give you the option to not show the album art and if so does that speed things up a bit? What do you think about the X994? was that an option when you were looking for a HU?

To all the KIV-BT900 owners how slow is the unit when changing songs on the ipod? Just came from a local shop and the manager mentioned that at first it is extremely slow but one the unit "learns" your ipod and the album art that it does get quicker. How well does the remote work with the HU? And are you limited by what your able to do with it?
