That wasn't a helpful reply at all. Soundstream makes great subs. They make great everything... Second, the car looks kind of sick to me, i wouldn't feel like a dumbass in it. Third, there called vertical doors, or scissor doors. not lambo doors. Lamborghini didn't invent that look, at all. It was on an alfa romeo first. As for the Op, 2.25 cubes is actually closer to the recommended size for the t5, than it is for the Reference. They may sound slightly different, but i'd say it'll be better, as for loudness, if your giving them the same power, they'll probably be about the same.

Agreed. I got like 1/2 the sentence done then i noticed what was going on in those avatars.......... I never finished the sentence, and now my arm is too tired to write... jk jk jk jk hope thats not too inappropriate

You wouldn't be able to tell until you installed it. But I'm gonna be almost 100% certain that 2x the cone area will be louder, even if in a sealed box.. *EDIT Depends on the subs though, because you may be too small with the sealed enclosure....

x2 Its a giant ported box. Ported is louder than sealed

Glad it's working now lol. I agree, brave for posting this

well if it wasnt going on a quad id spend more. but i dont wanna spend more than 100$ on an amp incase it breaks from vibraton or bumps.or the worst case that i roll my quad Ah that does change things. But then again, a low quality amp will be more susceptible to vibrations and bumps causing damage internally. But, i'd honestly go with a Dual amp from walmart...the Xps i believe, is 400 watt,well not really but thats what they claim, and it's cheap. like 80 bucks i think... And i'd STILL take a walmart pos amp over Boss. I've had horrible experiences with boss. **edit that should say "eighty bucks" idk why it made a smiley.

Awesome. Thanks

This might of been asked before, if so i apologize. Anyway i have a big wind shield vinyl, and several rear window decals, and a banner. I'm going to get tint soon, and please don't laugh at this question if i'm completely wrong I know nothing about this lol. They lay it out and stuff on the outside right? but the tint actually goes on the inside? So will i have to replace all my vinyls? or will it be ok?

One more thing, is it a bad idea to add an AGM batt to my stock batt? it'd be really easy, they're both in the trunk, I was thinking i might as well just leave them both in, or would that be bad if only one is deep cycle?

I was set on thinking i'd just need another battery, and the AMI Customs called me a noob because i was worried about draining the battery without a high output alt: This is why people run battery banks. And yes you can do exactly what you are saying happens to a lot of people who have no idea what they are doing, we call those people....noobs....LOL But apparently if it's not full blast 1700 watts the whole time, i should be fine, so i'm not really sure why he has such an issue...

Alright i'll head that direction, i'm not entirely sure how big a battery i'll be able to afford, I've been looking at a kinetik hc1400 or hc1800, and yes i know you all recommend XS but i've heard good things about kinetik too, and they're more within my budget....

I have a sunroof, bluetooth, xm, heated seats...So i have a decent alt, i'm pretty sure it's 140. So hopefully i'll be good with as second battery. and yea its the amp in my sig.

Thats what i was thinking, and that's all that's in my budget anyway... But i was worried about getting a batt cause if the alt is being overdrawn the battey wont charge anyway. So i'm trying to figure out if the money would be better spent if i put it toward an alt.

I've been asking random questions, kind of beating around the bush on this, but what it comes down to is i have a stock alternator and battery, 0 AWG big three, and a 1700 watt amp running along with all the stock electrical, plus a few lights and stuff here and there. I know that 1700 watts continuously will over draw the alternator, BUT for daily use, driving around, listening to music, with breaks between songs/beats, times with the volume down... etc... so like, not true continuous full power, will i REALLY need a high output alt? Am i going to have problems with my battery dying etc?

That's how you do it though. The Iphone SDK, which they only make for macs, is available for download. It comes with an Iphone emulator to test your code, and even has a front end for submitting your app for approval for the app store. I've never used the Android SDK, but i'm sure it's a similar type of thing, and probably very similar object structure. Bottom line though, you won't be able to just dive into it, Iphone (and Probably android) use a pretty complex object-oriented programming language. If you don't have java or C++ etc... experience, you won't be able to do it. IF you want to try though, just google around for some tutorials. Honestly, you'd be better off submitting your idea to an established developer, and hope they like your idea... that way they will do the work and you will get some money out of it. An iphone/android developer will also be taken more seriously by Apple when reviewing the app for submission to the app store.

I need a quote for a 2009 chevy cobalt LT, the 2.2 liter ecotec if that matters. Thanks

With amps... you get what you pay for... I'd increase your budget a bit. It'll pay off in the end. Sure you'll have to wait, but you won't be using a shitty amp...

why? you can find an AQ3500.1 (4300 rms) for 750 NEW. i just picked one up for $600 shipped. and stetsom is a great company. You just said your self.. a 4300 RMS amp is $100 more new. Why would a 4500 RMS amp only be $650? You got one for $600 brand new??

I'd be really skeptical of "4500rms" for only $650...

By SPL, i meant i'm not competing or anything. I mean, I am personally not concerned with 100% of the potential being used. I will sacrifice full power temporarily. Also, I didn't buy the amp, it was gift, sort of.. but i didn't intentionally get the amp and sub before doing the electrical. Oh and its a Soundstream DTR1700. I know it's putting out at least 1500. I'd be suprised if it DOESN'T reach 1700. And i don't know man any major name brand is CEA compliant, and they set the standard for the certifications and such as well. I trust that if the CEA rates it at 1700, it's 1700. (in ideal conditions of course, full power, good connections, large enough wire etc.. which i'm as close to as i can come without a battery...)

That's unfortunate man. I'm saying a month cause i'm due for a youtube check. If i wasn't getting that. I have no clue when i'd be able to afford it, more than a month.. thats for sure. dude hook me up with subscribers and views i need a partnership haha Dude if i could get one i would. BIG difference between partnership and revenue sharing. The only reason i make money is cause i threw some content ont here that got a lot of views... like just one video. Steve and them get money on EVERY video. I seriously think someone could almost live off money like steve gets from youtube... probably over 10-15 grand a year. I make 600ish off 1 video, he has like, a shit load, and he has in the millions of views. i only have 150k.

An amp on 12 volts wont put out what an amp on 14 volts will, correct me if i'm wrong. And I had a system, now i'm upgrading, BEFORE when i only had 400RMS subs, my 1700RMS amp was fine at half power on stock electrical... But now i got the money for my subs, i have one of them, and i realize that i may need to do the electrical if i'm going to run 1700 watts. thats all. If i was starting from the ground up, i too would get electrical done first.

^^this HA don't get excited. The video i have in revenue sharing is about my website for hacking with linux, it's in revenue sharing, so everytime that ONE video gets views, they put an ad on it, and i get a few cents. Everytime my adsense account reaches $100 i get a check If you still want to look the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCNgt_4WqoE My channel with vids of my sound system too: http://www.youtube.com/user/osamiax33o Adsense screen shot: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31353908&l=a758bd9158&id=1567395161

AH good points. IDK but this SUCKS. It's gonna be friday when i decide on a batt or sub, and then i'm gonna have to wait like a month for the other I need a better job.
