  1. My local shop has a termlab so I was curious what my system would hit. I have a 2002 nissan xterra with a hybrid psi/fi bl 18, crescendo bc2000 wired all to one ohm in a little more than an 8 cu ft box tuned to 30hz. Well I metered 141.8 for my peak and that was on stock electrical. I am purchasing an xs3100 soon and doing the big 3. Also I will sound deaden my roof, my trunk is already deaden but I will be deadening the trunk even more with some great stuff to make it heavy. But anyway was that a good number with all those factors in play?

    id probably try putting a sundown audio sticker on the window first, before you spend all that money. it will make you 30 points cooler and give you 15db, which is well worth $5 for the sticker.

  2. dear OP, please prepare yourself for the massive numbers of people who are about to say "save your cash and get some sundown sa-15's."

    thanks and have a nice day.

    personally. i would suggest the american bass xd 15's. only cost $20 more than your budget, and should work well in your low power budget build.

  3. Any other suggestions? Awnsers, or Advice? I dont mind constructive criticism!

    yup 5k a piece...

    but kicker advertises there ratings in a sealed box though...

    true rms of the sub is probly around 3 MAYBE 4k in a properly designed 8 cube ported enclosure.

    fucking kicker over rates there subs tbh.

    sealed and ported rating are different. solo x's work just fine in both types.

    back when i was running the solo x 18, i was running it in 12ft^3 tuned at 22hz, and passband was acceptable. i was also running 8k rms to it, and never had any problems. its all in the enclosure, once that is right, your thermal and mechanical power handling will be where it needs to be.

  4. yeah i understand that. the 1k and 40hz lights didnt really turn on till 30/35 but throughout 35 it didnt clip. then i said fuck it ill turn the settings all the way up and no clipping...but like i said that was just the front and rear outputs

    the biggest actual complaint i have about the dd-1 is the 40hz and 1khz thing. for example, when im going to a show, i like to setup at my peak frequency, vs some random frequency that an electronic device is setup to read at. so i go to a show, 47hz test tone, setup stuff, then go to the lanes.
