1loudhoe

^^clamped over 20k in a small pos car tuned to what? going with the Dc's with carbon fiber dustcap... perhaps cone too..

Soooooo what about this doesn't make this a vs thread? never said VS.... said im stuck between the 2. i never said which is louder, which can handle more power, get louder none of the sort... ive never used dc or sundown higher end subs... always had decent 12s or 15s but never a 7k rms sub stage. guess i'll buy whatever i get the best deal on.

not a vs thread, just want help choosing from ppl that have dealt with something that i havent...

well i do 149.2 currently with 2 aq hdc15s and a crescendo 3500d at .5ohm i know a few ppl with single z v3's doing high 149s and some low 150s so yea.. 150 easy lol just my opinon...but its for daily so i could care less about the meter just dont want 4 15s..never had 18s before and wanna try 18s Thatswhat ive been told

Vehicle: 02 Tahoe dimentions: 48x48x27 i guess.. the back of the truck electrical: quad 300amp alts, vcm set to 15.1, 4 bt120 batteries 2 bt8785's under hood, 2/0 wiring and 2/0 big 3 budget.. around the same price.. 480-530 per sub looking at crossfire, DC, sundown,Fi,PSI

i want 2 18s. will be powered by a vfl750, daily. daily groundpounder and some demo's.. not really doing shows but im sure it'll do a 150 with ease. right now im stuck between 2 sundown z v3's or dc xl m2's... if you have something else in mind around the same price let me know...

Eton hasnt gone anywhere. super high quality German speakers. eton mids are in all Adam studio monitors.( http://www.adam-audio.com/ ) i use A8x's everyday as an audio engineer and i'd love that sound in my truck. the 8's that im looking are the exact same mids in my A8x's i'll probably go that route... i have everything except my mids/highs. amp's got here yesterday.

Starting my build and im trying to select my mids... debating on eton or morel. both are pure sonic quality and awesome sq but im debating on which is the better mid in my truck. i use Eton speakers everyday as they are the mids in Adam monitors. flat out awesome sounding monitors but have a ribbon tweeter.. eton has a tweeter that im considering though, the Eton 25SD-1... anyone have experience with morel mids...? i currently have morel tweeters with planet audio bb65pro mids i want 8's in all 4 doors in m tahoe. havent seen to many morel 8's hole build will be: Ipad in the dash Kenwood KIV-BT900 (volume control etc) 4-Eton A8 Symphony (8inch mids) 4-Eton 25SD-1 (1inch tweeters) 2-Audioque AQ4X90 (1 bridged to the mids, 1 bridged to the tweeters) 2-Audioque 2200D 2-Fi Btl-N2 15's (in 9cubes net tuned to 34hz) 2-300amp alts 1 xs D3400 (starting battery) 2 xs D3100's in back

It'll push it, but will beg you to give it another 2200 strapped

I got a 250amp alt from a ebay dealer. Does 14.9 all the time no more lights dimming, seems to just as strong as my 300 irragi in a past vehicle.

Depending on the encoding rate. At 320kbps a 4-4.5 minute song is 11meg. 500gig a high rate is only 45k songs. I have over 2TB worth of music.

Ima get the clarion b/c every person I've talked to that has one tells me it makes everything sound better. Might grab me a clarion hu while I'm at it

i was looking at a PowerBass Xtreme XEQ-5XO too... claims 10v RMS!!

i was gonna grab this eq and im wondering with its sub control do i still need the bass knob that comes with the amp or use the clarion's control?

well the horror story i've heard is amps going into protect super ease, bad soldering and amps smoking.. didnt hear it about the SD5000 but sd overall... but with a 5 year warranty i'm gonna take the risk

i know the SD5000 is rated at 12.6 i ordered it last tuesday. i was told 14.4 i'll see 6600 in a perfect world with out impedance rise. i'll probably set the vcm to 14.9 to 15.2 somewhere between there my truck is currently at 15.2 with out the vcm LOL but i know soon as i add that sd5000 in its gonna drop.

currently looking at the current BTL N218 or should i buy the standard BTL slightly used or bnib should i buy it as is or add all 3 options? HiXmCoil, Cooling and P Chamfer? making it a fully loaded BTL trying to convince the wife to let me get SMD's.. found some on caco for $775 each but she aint having it right now lol...

if i go with btl's which series will take the sd5000? i've been hearing some soundigital horror stories and i'm thinking about using my extra amp and getting another which is a AP aqx3500.1 so even with impedance rise it should still be putting around 3000rms. 2 aqx3500.1's or the SD5000.1

well that what i was gonna use with the 2 lvl5's. rusty told me 3.75-4cubes each tuned to 34 would hurt with 3000rms tuned to what? new neo btl's or older ones

at this point it does even matter. if my build takes longer then it does but i wanna be fully satisfied and dont wanna feel like i have to upgrade in 6 months to a year. arent mayhem's and btl's honestly the same? i know the new btls are different...just wondering. ive been debating on lvl5 15s or smd15s...but i love massive lows and the impact of 18s and i want to pull a 150. hell 149.9 is close enough lol sometime next year i'll do a wall and not care about cargo area

im considering 18s though my mind is set on 15 unless i can find 2 15s that will work well in 10cubes together... i have a tahoe and sure i can fit 4 18s easy but i still need some cargo area for food and things for my kids since the wife wont be getting her new car til this summer, probably the new Taurus Sho but im wondering what 18s perform well in 5cubes each with about 3000rms each? are there any? i know most want 6cubes but i think a 12cube box may be to big to have any cargo area left.

Cj18 as I stated I'm gonna run a sd5000 for the rest of the year then get another one or a sd8000. That's why I'm going with lvl5's not to mention its what rusty recommended to me

I miss my eclipse deck that have 8v outputs. Got this cheap ass jensen right now that show 1.7v output

I plan on getting lvl5's and running a SD5000 for a year then upgrading to a sd8000 or 2 sd5000's. I sent a box quote to dl. Do you think lvl5's will sound good with 3200 rms each tuned to 34hz. Going off dc's spec at 3.75cubes per sub

Naw I don't want BTL's unless they were 18's and that won't be for 2 years. I'll wall this truck with 4 18's But I've chosen to go with 2 lvl5 15s b/c a deal I can get on them. But will I wake them up with 3000rms or go with xl's b/c they're alive at 3000rms
