  1. Can you guys help me figure out what's wrong?

    I'd say its a heat shield. My Del Sol did the same thing, took off the cat and the heat shield fell off into pieces then just put it back with new bolts from O' Reilly due to the originals being so rusted

    Edit: The rattling that is. I dont know about the O2 sensor. Im no mechanic either but my o2 sensor is right on top of my cat under the chassis

    side question, for a common chamber ported box what should i do the volume to, could i use the recommended ported volume out of just one of the subs or do i have to double it.

    aka

    if a subs rec. ported volume was like 1ft^3 would you build the box to 1ft^3 or 2ft^3?

    by the way i have decided to go with this: http://www.vminnovations.com/Product_14488/MTX-TR5510-04-Thunder-10-Inch-600-Watt-Single-4-Ohm-Subwoofers-Pair-.html

    2 mtx tr5510-04, the pack of 2 is only $80 just wondering for the box, that decides whether i go with ported or sealed

    ho

    The P2 8's are 80 a piece.... http://www.sonicelec...D2-8-P2D28.html

    how does the P2 stack up against the:

    re rex 8 ($50)

    kicker comp 8 (2 for $100)

    infinity reference (2 for $120)

    kicker cvt ($75)

    mtx rts8 ($65)

    RF p1 ($60)

    or the polk db8 ($60)

    and now this turns into a VS. thread.... which as most of us know are no-no's

    so before this turns into a battle of the brands, just pick the one that has the highest RMS power handling. you're not gonna hear a difference between subs in that price range

    and im not trying to say whats better i just honestly asked what was the difference in them. all i see through comparison is very minute differences

    I've heard the P1 and P2s and they sound good. Not for sure if I've heard those others you listed.

    It's all about personal preference on the brands...I was just trying to help by showing you something in the price range you stated.

    its all good i figured it would come down to more brand association.

    im deciding between the kicker comp 8's infinity reference 8's or the fosgate p1 8's (i would get the p2s but the d2 are $80

    the dc looks good but you cant get them online can you? and there is no dealer in my area. and i think im going to go with 2 8's. im not sure what 8's though. the SA's are a little pricy for my setup if im going to get 8's i dont want to have to throw a ton of power at them so <500 watts since the alpine makes my lights dim as is, my car has a small alternator. do you think id be able to get 2 decent 8's for about 130-160?

    I need to find a sub or 2 that gets loud but box size is an issue. i have a max of 1.7 cubes so im thinking a 10 or 2 8's? 10 is the max i can go in diameter. im going to be upgrading amps depending on the subs i get, my current amp is a Alpine MRP-500 500rms @ 2ohm im welcome to any suggestions just nothing ridiculous.

    Why not a single 15?

    to be honest i dont have anything against a 15, i just figured i would need a larger box for it plus im not sure if the cone would fit in between the seats like my 10 does

    edit: i think that ill stick with a 12 so i can use a smaller box. both those 15's require ~2.5 and ive got a little under 3 totall, along with port displacement and sub displacement i figure im going to be under 2.5ish

    i got just under 3cu without any displacement. if your going for spl i would do the 2 eights, out of those options. but those 12s could get loud and you might just be able to squeeze one in that little area. actually i would run 2 10s in that space. more cone area than the 8s and should be comfortable in that room.

    Edit: forgot about budget... in that case 12 all the way. i like my AQs

    which 12, the AQ im assuming? and i would run 2 10s but i would have trouble with the box, with the 8's i could fire up 10's i couldnt so they would be running into the seats

    A level 4 would get you good, great response too. Or maybe a ssa icon or go on the classifields and look for a used sub, what kind.of amp do you have

    alpine mrp-500 and an ssl 1200.2
