i think people should be talking specs not brands. look up the specs and make a decision that way. find out the resonant requencies. use an efficiency calculator...check this site out that i found... http://bcae1.com/speaker.htm

yeah, definatley dont get shallow mounts. fullsize because you have the space.

sorry.. i just say things. anyways, i have distribution blocks but they dont have fuses.. i would have to put fuses after the block. i have one that goes 0 to 4x 4AWG and i cant remember what the other one does

a good ported box will have a good freq range. and most noobs that ask which will be louder hardly even care about the larger freq range that you might get with sealed over ported, but just that ported will be louder. yeah i make it my focus to design a sq setup. i listen to a broad range of music so i need the largest frequency range i can get. i focus on loud after i find a good sq setup. thats why i have been researching the jl 10w3v3 subs. they are nice and shallow but the sound great. they are also loud in sealed or ported.

does anyone agree with me that sealed enclosures have a broader frequency accuracy? with ported enclosures i have noticed a significant drop of quality from ported enlclosures outside of the ports tuning frequency. i dont know what your preferences are, but i like sealed enclosures because I feel like the subwoofer is in a more natural state with more air pressure fighting the excursion so that the internals dont wear down as easily.. just my 2cents. not trying to state facts

yeah but cutting a wire to fit in the amp is kinda ghetto, that's all I'm saying. and with distributors being so cheap, and add the fact that you would need less of the more expensive stuff and it looks better? seems worth it to me. Did I say anything about that. i dont think he meant to quote you. i was talking about cutting wires... thats my bad.

exactly what i did. 0 guage at near the amp i ran a fused distro to mybxi 1610 that only accepted 4g right on guys. I will be doing that then. 0 through fuse to fused distro block to 4 to amps. sounds like a done deal

hey guys. i just was browsing and saw this forum for cellphones. I actually write for mobilitydigest.com and i moderate the forums there. if you need help with cellphones, visit those forums and many people can hlep out. not trying to jack a forum, just trying to lead people to a place to get even more help with technical issues. ill post some stuff in this forum to help out to if needed

jesus can turn water into wine. he can also turn a shallow mount into a SMD 18. just sayin. jesus wouldnt have picked either of those haha. he probally would have made his own sub.. lol true dammit so i gotta change the title haha haha well the title still got me to click on the thread

steve, can i come buy your shop sometime? i live in south sacramento and have watched your videos for over a year now.. i might have seen you before rollin around before the candy paint

i think you have to consider the resonant frequncy of box. even though the subs will make the same excursion you are still playing into a differnet sized box. I own two of the same subs and i have them in two differnt enclosures. I can definatley tell a difference in their sound no matter the wattage i throw at them.. and ive also done individual tests so they wer not recieving the same power at the same time to prove that it was independent of wattage.

True, I do remember reading about voltage drop. I should, however, only need to use a short-ish length of 4AWG making the resistance low, thus making the voltage drop lower. Its all in the OHMs law.. Im hoping to buy 1/0 and distributing to 2 4AWG or 1x4AWG and 1x8AWG. I just think its too much to wire 2 different wires from battery to amps because my 4AWG lengths wont run that far. I could extend them by using a fuse a junction for two lengths of 4awg wire but that wouldnt put the fuse as close to the power source as recomended

thankyou for the clear response

basically im trying to only buy one type of wire and one distributor block. I already own some lengths of 4AWG. I might have some 8AWG after I strip the existing wires from my trucks system now.. but im not sure since I wasnt the one to wire it. Ive recieved a few responses that have told me 4AWG to the JJH1200 amp will be ok and some saying that there is a reason it has 1/0 inputs. If the MTX cust. service guy is correct and at most the amp will pull 80 amps then with calculations 4AWG works out.. from what I remember 4AWG can handle a peak of 150 amps.. I was just hoping someone had some previous experience with this. sorry if im being difficult. Im just trying to weigh all of my options
