He needs an amp for competition so it has to be rated below 1800w

i live in Europe and i had a bxi2010d shipped for $40 + duty from vminnovations... I'm very happy with my amp and have had no problems, the only thing i dislike is that the power terminals are angled down

It would probably be easier to have it rewound, as long as the gauge of the wire and its length are the same it will work the same

Digital designs subs are very good for burping, which model you choose depends on your budget

its safer to use a slightly more powerful amplifier since on a smaller amp you might turn the gain up too much since you would want to give your subs more power

Try Hifonics colossus.. 3200 rms at 2 ohm and it does rated power http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_32990_Hifonics-Colossus.html

if you have the space go ported, ask someone on here to design a box and you'll be sorted.. the type of box isnt going to blow your subs unless its way too big or it has way too much port area for the power... just make sure you're sending clean power

IMO i think that box is too big, Re recommends about 1.25 cu ft.. i wouldn't go over 1.75 cu ft... and a 4" aeroport should give plenty of port area

The cutout is in the right position (it should be the furthest away from the port)... i would go with one 4 inch port

Quite a waste of money, but not may people can say the have a LEGO subwoofer box

i hate the people who seem to look at an install and find the slightest imperfection and start bashing it, wdf man i would wish to see how perfect their installs are! I am the first one to say that i have thing i could have done better in my own install

An original cd (not mp3)/ music downloaded from itunes ect in 320bit/sec sounds the best.. mp3 music has been compressed

Funky load? A load doesn't have to be a whole number or 1, 2 or 4 ohm.. as with the case of most 4channels is that they put out the most power at 2 ohms per channel, so i wanted to get as close as possible This is how parallel impedance is worked out: 1/Rtotal = 1/Rmid1 + 1/Rmid2 + 1/(Rtweet1 + Rtweet2) Rtotal = 1/ (1/8 + 1/8 + 1/(4+4) )= 2.66* ohm Ohh wow I feel dumb, well sounds like you should go for it tbh. You're not dumb, you just learnt something new I think i'm just going try it out, but i still have about a week before my mids arrive so we'll see then :S

[quote name= Gem132' timestamp='1335944373' post='1997886] and i once farted a 181.1 -.- stupid people and there imaginations In a CRX ?

I think the first one is trolling, i doubt its a coincidence that his name is 'Alan Dante' the second one seems to know a bit, but still is major bullsh*t

Capacitors inline with tweeter are used as highpass filters, they cut off at a certain frequency according to their capacitance

My idea was to have a 2.6ohm load(actually it should end up being a bit less) on each of the front 2 channels of my 4channel so that i'll get about 80 watts a side, that's the reason that i want the tweeters in series, i'm certain that the cap to will take the power and theoretically the circuit makes sense... but i just want some advice from some experienced people thank you for your reply

possibly no-one knows?

Pour some epoxy into the crack, that's what they use to glue these types of things together. Just don't forget to leave the epoxy a few days to set properly, it will take up to three weeks to fully cure

just a note, they will be in parallel with two 6.5" 8ohm mid-range drivers

Well i have 2 set of JBL tweeters that are 4 ohms each, and i have a bipolar crossover capacitor which handles quite a decent amount of power, can i wire both tweeters in series and then to one capacitor per pair? like: (+)---------------------(tweeter)-----------(tweeter)-----------(capacitor)-----------------(-)

i wouldn't do it

Very true, his tweeters are very far forward on the dash, and its a big dash so they aren't right in your face, that's probably why they don't sound bright in his install, thanks for the informative reply

i couldn't think of anything in his price range.. he was looking at $44 speakers at first so i thought Infinity would too far off.. do you find all Infinitys bright? i find my friends really well balanced, but i guess you're the expert hehe
