sure, just get two dual 2's
-
sure can....alot of our competitors do two ZX2500'1 to one Solo X 18.
-
it's really up to you, I say 34-38hz
-
if you have power, your alt and battery is fine, clean connection at the starter, or may be a battery cable going out, so you can change positive and negative, relatively cheap and easy fix.
-
x 2. You got alots money to spend then proceed.
it's not really so much money, voltage is always key, but if ported, impedance rise on the ensloure as well.
-
ok if its 15'si would go with the cvx's i dont like the l7's bacause a) they dont have as good of an excursion due to the square shape of the cone. and you really dont gain much at all when it comes to cone area from square to round. what kind of enclosure are you planning on putting them in and what will it be tuned to?
two things really help make a subwoofer 'louder', Sd and Xmax. Even with the low Xmax, everyone knows the L series can get loud, so kinda hard now to debate because of the low 'ratings' on Xmax they can't get loud. Another little secret, they have more Xmax that stated because of the T cut top plate. ( changes how the measurement is taken) In a ported box, IMHO, yes, you will see get louder due to more Sd.
OP: if sealed, do CVX, also small ported
larger room ported, L7
-
crack between cylinder walls, toast, unless you want to sleeve it, IMHO, blocks are cheap, get rid of it.
-
cheap ones, yes
good vendors, no
-
true, now you know box peak, for car peak, shut car off, put on charger. get note CD and start testing, burp at X freq, record, allow a few seconds to recharge, coil to cool, go up 1 hz, burp, record, etc,etc.
-
now you know where you peak, now build accordingly.
When you start low, like 30hz and do a sweep up, you heat coils and loose voltage. So imagine hitting it at the tuned frequency
-
I am on there too, I remember talking to you a few times on it, I seen the name polecat, and was like hell no!! So I had to ask to be sure..
Lots of usefull info on the sites, just not much audio info unless your a hack
cool-cool man, small world!

Raytard,
Could you give me a couple of box ideas that would fit within 36 wide, 36 deep, 15 tall. I really want my subs and vent to face into the cabin of the car. I also would like a port that is for burps, and one thats for music.
you'll need a comp box, and daily box...if your cars frequency is in mid 50's and your box is tuned into the 30's, there's your problem.
-
if the subs are brand new, trade them for dual 2's...same cost, and no added expense.
-
Problems arise when people run amps at impedances that they are not designed to handle. .05 ohms on a 1 ohm stable amp over time will destroy the amp, put more heat on the inside components, increase distortion and pull moe current from the battery. In either case, running an amp like that will cause a Kicker or Hifonics amp to crap out on you earlier.
agreed 100%.
Power is power...if amp A does 1500 watts at 2 ohm and amp B puts out 1500 at 1 ohm, BOTH do 1500 watts. One is not better than the other, but one will use more current than the other. Doesn't mean amp A is better, but will do same power, just different impedance.
Figure amp, and build around that.

thehoe92, you have a PM

hey steve over on the tahoeyukonforum is where they are "situated"
me and a couple other nor cal tahoe guys on there are trying to get him to come to nor cal and have a meetup somewhere where he can get everyone tuned I'll keep you informed if it actually happens.
I know he goes to socal a lot.
Steve, shoot me an email bro, yea, you'll LOVE it, and yes, you can also buy one tuned, ready to go in from them.
thehoe92, I'm on tahoeyukon as well

polecat is the zx750.1 a good amp
IMHO, yes, alot of people sue them in MWSPL class, because they clamp power do between 800-925 watts. Not bench, clamped.
-
Longtime no see Mr Polecat.
Welcome back!!
thank ya kindly sir
-
can it, possibly, depends on voltage, box, impedence rise, but safely, no, run it at 2 ohm like the manufacture suggest.
-
kicker wont do 1ohm will the hifoncis? where can i get a good box designs
The Kicker KX12001 and SX1250.1 will do 1 ohm, even .50 ohm given good current, do GOOD power.

Airraid will help, on trucks, KEEP the stock intake you have. The others have larger runners, but you loose velocity. ( torque)
If you guys have any GM product, and it's after 1996, seriously look at Black Bear Tuning. Your GM vehicle has so much torque management it would sicken you. If you get 80%, or 100% of that removed, fuel curve and timing readjusted, more line pressure for a harder, firmer shift, you will see HUGE gains, if you felt gains off a CAI.
To explain a little bit on TM ( torque management) what it is, is GM felt the need to go in and take away some of the power the 4.8/5.3/6.0 makes, to soften the ride and power in the tranfer from motor, to tranny, to rearend. If you take off from a stop light, the more you speed up, and the more accelerator you have down, the computer see's that, and pulls timing OUT of your truck. As much as like 11 to 13 degrees! So you all know the <bog> it has, so you push the peddle down more, and it still slowly accels and then finally, after a certain speed it really starts to take off. Well, the 'shock' on your tranny/rearend is over, your moving so it gives the timing back slowly.
Now imagine, having ALL that power when you push the peddle down! It's like having a 350 with a 2 barrel carb, then going to a 4 barrel.
Black Bear, you can send in your computer, to not worry about the CR (crank relearn) and get a traditional tune. He will make all the adjustments, send you back your tuned PCM, you install, and within 20 miles your truck relearns the new setup, and you get tire burning power back. Get what you paid for in power! If later, you add headers, cam, change gears, whatever, your retunes for your changes is free for life. Just send it in, and pay shipping back.
Go to a local place some will charge you as much as $450 for one tuning session. And if anyone has been around GM performance for the last couple years, knows Black bear does an excellent job.
PS:" NO, I am NOT a paid supporter, just have searched myself for a bout a year before i let anyone toucvh my Yukon, and it was night and day difference!

usless..only work on carbed engines
and even that's debateable. If you want to loose low end and raise upper RPM range, they help. The higher (thicker) your plate, the more you loose/gain. I wouldn't ever use a TB spacer.
-
Blackbear tune, best mod I have ever done on my Yukon, made the 4.8 run alot better, best money spent!!
-
thanks all, yes, one day slower is right...LOL...thanks again!!!

the KX1200'1s could be strapped, any 2500.1 cannot, and yes, you can run one (any) 2500.1 to one set of coils on the X18. (two per single sub)
