You can always try the new P2's...here is a link http://cgi.ebay.com/2-ROCKFORD-FOSGATE-P2D2-12-12-1600W-Car-Subwoofers-/230602141646?pt=Car_Subwoofers_Enclosures&hash=item35b0f56fce

Any comments?

The 5k will not be too much, I would look into 4 more batteries if you plan on hard daily use. Just my view, let the experts decide. GL

Sorry about all of the links, not used to posting pictures on here. I have far more but I am waiting to get some more progress on the build. Remember this is a test box which is why I did not wrap it yet. I made the mistake of finalizing my last build without testing and was miserable. I have learned to test before wasting time and money to complete the build

...fixing pics...

Hello everyone, I have decided to share with you my most recent build, still in progress and a lot left to do. Materials: 1-Rockford Fosgate T2500bd 1-Rockford Fosgate T1000-4 2-Rockford Fosgate T2D412 50^2ft Audio Technix 60mil 125' Monster Cable 1/0 400series 20' DB link 8awg speaker wire Kinetik HC1800 Optima Red Top G35 starting battery DC Power 320a HP 2-sheets 3/4" MDF (miscellaneous supplies for enclosure) This is the NEW going in. The old, "already installed" Rockford Fosgate 3SIXTY.2 2-T2652S components 60^2ft eDead V.2 (This was an experiment gone wrong) ...more details will follow...

Unless the subs are free use others, also like said before 1 big amp is better than the 4 smaller.

Probably true, just build a DP21 full size enclosure, you won't be disappointed.

How long until we see some pics? I am excited to see how you build this one

I think with the dual alt, stock and any of those DC alts you would be fine. Do you plan to keep the stock alt for just vehicle functions like charging starting battery and maintaining, or do you plan to use both for vehicle and system use simultaneously.

I'd go with a strap if you plan to run with it. If you get it let me know how well it works, looking for one myself.

How large of a hole?

I have heard a lot of good about them, I may try and run 8 of their super tweeters, and 6 - 6" midbass drivers...

RF T1500bdCP 1921rms @1ohm?

Yeah I suggest extensive testing to find your car's info...

Hey take your 8 and shove it up your ass. Op ima have to agree with the more port area. Also i mean whats your port look like? Were is it at? Where is the sub? Not to be mean but x2... I suggest a new enclosure then work with positioning and other details of your car.

If I went this route I would run 4 tweeters per channel on the front channels and then 3 midbass per channel for the rear channels. Just unsure where I will put all the midbass lol.

Thanks for some options guys...

I am metering mine on the 22nd, can't wait...keep us informed on your numbers when you get them.

Have you metered this setup?

Why would a 21 have anything to do with lows? It is a stigma people have with bigger woofers, they assume the bigger the woofer, the louder lower notes get. While typically true it is for a completely different reason. Which is partially caused by mechanical advantage/disadvantage. Just enjoy bass!

According to your max dimensions you have about 13^3ft of airspace not subtracting bracing, woofers, and porting. That is more than enough for 2 - Fi BL 18's which need between 5-10^3ft of airspace. I would say try and make it work. INSANE Cone area, or go with the DP 21 as I am a fan of them.

Do a wall with 2 Fi BL 18's They will match closely to your amp and get way loud, if you have funds for more power I would suggest pretty much any good brand 18's, DC, DD, AA, Fi, and more! But then your looking at atleast 1 of your amps for each of those woofers. Keep us informed. P.S. Remember the enclosure matters far more than the woofer, I have seen the smallest woofer have tremendous output in the perfect enclosure. Design is key!
