Wow, damn, I was really wanting to get some opinions. Usually they aren't very hard to get, until you want them I guess???

So does anyone else have anything??? Wall, no wall???

I just wonder if that will always be the case, or does it depend on the box and subs???

I always just use a penny. Works perfect! I just put the penny in the throttle stop on the intake, instantly goes to 2000 RPM. Then when I'm done, take the penny out, and bam! Back to regular idle. Or if I want less I use a dime.

Sure, five bucks off w/o the capacitor.

True, only reason for the use of the Kinetik's is that I already own them. Just thought they'd be good enough together for up front? But yeah guess I should sell them and put and XS up front too. So you think three w/ be enough?

Oh and in case you aren't familiar with my car, it's a 2002 PT Cruiser. Dimensions I have are roughly 41"W X 47"L X 27"H(up to the window line). That is with plastic in, could be more room made if needed. Here are some pics of it empty

Okay guys, I am planning my next build for my PT, and I need opinions. I am thinking about trying 4 18's, non-walled, no back seat. Since I'm still a rookie w/ the "bigger setups", I was kinda thinking about doing a box similar to Steve's, subs up port back, except since my car is smaller it w/ become a two seater. And the equipment I am leaning towards is DC. I was thinking 4 - level4 18's on a 5K for starters, with a 270a mechman alt, MLA VBM, and four XS D3100's, with two Kinetik HC1400's up front. Later I could still add a second alt, more batts, and a second DC 5K. So my question is, does this sound like a good idea for me and my car? I am looking for a daily 150+ that sounds good on music and does a good ass hair-trick w ease. So is this gonna be a good idea? Would 15's be better considering my space? And wall/no wall??? I am open to all serious suggestions. And thank you for your time

yessir I have them both!

That is sweet! I'd LOVE to see what it would do w/ proper electric! I bet it w/ be +155! And on music!

Man, that does look sweet!

Can someone just buy them, and buy re-cones for them, and diy? If so do you know where to get them/ how much? Thanks!

Kicker amp sound better than Hifonics, and are more efficient, IMO! I had a BRZ2100.1d and all I can say is you better be feeding it proper electric if you want it to do rated. And even then, the Kicker amp just sounds a little better. IMO amps are the best thing Kicker makes, they are solid. I'd go w/ Kicker, out of those two for sure!

Not quite sure where u see that at??? Is that on that site?

That is a sweet ass truck! Personally, I woulda went w/ a straight axle swap. But I'm sure this setup rides a whole lot smoother! Just not quite as durable. But still a sic ass truck no matter what! Oh and good luck fitting those subs under the seat! I smell a blow-thru!

^^^THIS^^^ SO many things can happen from now to then! How many teams have looked INVINCIBLE after week one??? Talk to me in about 10 more weeks! Oh yeah and GO COWBOYS!!!

I also have a little experience w/ Soundstream. I ran the Picasso amp for a little while, and I can tell you 100% that IT WAS A POWER HOG!!! I tried using it recently as an add-on, you know, throw a sub and box in the back seat and get a lil more bass. Well, the Soundstream sucked all the power! It GREATLY reduced the output of my other amps. So I changed it to a smaller amp, different brand, and it made a world of difference! So all in all, the Soundstream amps, IMO, are too power hungry, and not efficient enough to make them worth using. That being said, I have seen some HELLACIOUS systems built w/ Soundstream! It really depends on a lot of things I guess!

Man, I have been considering doing 8 - 12's w/ a DC 5K in a 4th order wall in my PT, and THESE subs w/ be PERFECT! Hmmm ideas ideas!!!

Man, those seem pretty stout! I just watched the destruction videos, or should I say, the attempted destruction! Nice product!

That was funny!

If you have to ask... Yeah, why do you have to be a dick??? I am curious as well. Isn't that the reason for forums like this? It's assholes like you that just love making people feel stupid. I would LOVE to catch in a dark alley somewhere and show you what it's like to feel stupid...
