    Melted/deformed dustcap is from getting to hot. That's clipping. How much space between the magnet and box? Needs space to vent through the pole piece. don't listen to birthsheets, you won't see those numbers on music. Takes just the right freq and box. As the speaker moves impedance changes and so does the power you see. those amp draw 100amps on average playing music. That gives you up to roughly 1400 watts before effiency is accounted for with bo voltage drop. voltage drop can induce clipping to by the way.

    Those subs can take the power, the issue is clipping. make sure all bass boost is off, that amp has a non adjustable sub sonic if I remember right (haven't seen mine in months), that tells me you turned the gain up 1/4 or the bass boost on the amp up 1/4. The remote for those amps is a bass boost. find someone in your area with a dd1 or oscope. Untill then keep the gain all the way down and be nice on the volume. You don't know where the deck clips so play it safe. I had a single t2d412 wired to 2ohms clipping like crazy (half gain full volume bass boost) that lasted for like 2 months. Warranted and I read up on clipping. Gain all the way down playing nice with volume no boost sub still felt, sounded, and could looked brand new never smelled at all for the 6 months I had it. you having yours at 1ohm they ser roughly 800-1200 on music at average. They will see up to the 1500rated rms of the amp maybe slightly more from time to time but on music they won't see the birth sheet number.

    14.5" would be enough. Mounting diameter is just bellow 12 and the trim ring is roughly 13". If I remember right at least. I went from 2 t1 10 to 1 t2 12 was louder with out a doubt. The single 12 never saw a meter on my p500.1bd but on a t300.2 it did just over a 140. Had it on a t1500.1bdcp at 2 ohms for like 6 months no problem. Did 143ish. Then upgraded to 2 of the 12s on the same 1500 and gained some from that to. so yes a single ported 12 can be louder then 2 10s ported. 2 10s in a 3-4cuft box should work out nicely.

    RF can be beat for the price aren't that worth it unless you can get them at luke buy one get one free (how I got mine) live had 2 t1 10 on 500rms ported and was very happy with them just got used to it is all. another good option is a single 12ported maybe a single 15 ported.

    Diablo 3 is fun. Haven't played that in forever either though.

    I have from time to time with my brother. Haven't in months though. Honestly don't remember my login info right now even.

    It won't hurt to under power them.
  8. alaskanzx5
    Go for it. After its all done and installed start saving for a good alt and upgraded stock batt. Once you get the electrical up get a second amp for them and give them hell. its a great starting point just upgrade from there.

    I've had that issue with ie for a while now. I just use chrome or fire fox now.

    Yeah my hatch door on my last car had a huge open area between the inner and outer metal filling that area helped a lot but I think most of that was sure to all the added weight.

    A will be waiting. You just sit back and heal up

    IMO using expanding foam in areas like the trunk loud (added weight/mass) and to the roof support braces/beams can effectively stop rattles/flex with the use of less deadener.
  13. alaskanzx5
    Consider using expanding foam in gaps? I did it in the hatch door of my other focus and it made a good difference as far as vibrations him flex go. If the goal is to reduce flex start with adding some where you have lots if flex them looking for more rattles it flex to fix. Once you think you have most of that taking care of work on using the foam passing stuff to block airborne Boise. Do it all in steps to get the result you want.

    this build is looking promising. 1400watts on 2 15s, cant wait to see all 4 up and running with those 9k's. just remember all good things take time. nothing that is good comes easy or quick and everything that is easy and quick just aint worth it.

      and now im sick to.. spicy chicken came back up and out my noise, this shit sucks.

  16. alaskanzx5

    youtube needs a slow motion button. subs just move to fast to really see the them move. or the flex on a car, to fast to see what is really going on.

    I would have tried to come around and throw a home made spike strip in front of their truck before they got back to it. watch them pull away and blow out all their tires.

    got my taxes but this year im currently unemployed and cant have fun with it. going to stretch it out as long as i can. hopefully things get better soon and i can atleast use some of it for building a box for my hx2 power 12. maybe ill get lucky and get a job agian soon so that i can get back on my feet and actually start my build.

      You get taxes taken out of your unemployment checks then get a return on them, and it's usually nice since unemployment is like 60% (or whatever) of what your wage was anyways

      Seem legit as fuck to me.... Good thing there are people that make that happen.

      If anyone wants to hate on me because a got a little in tax return then go for it. it doesn't affect me anyways. I got under 2k back and what I got back is what I paid in.

    ib4 shit storm lol. hopefully it doesn't go that route but there has been more then one thread showing the typical way to clamp not being accurate that didn't end so well. this was a great idea though, using bulbs instead of car audio. take the car audio out of the factor and maybe people will understand the truth behind it.

    let just all bitch about issues but do nothing to contribute to a solution. maybe we can make a bitch fest out of it.

    I was sitting in my car when a chick in a van full of idiots parked next to me. now they where angled parking spots an all the parking lanes where one way. she went the wrong way and parked straight into the parking spot on my passenger side. I was waiting for my wife to come out of the store. I noticed the spot on the other side of them was open and if I parked correctly I would be blocking the back of their van and wouldn't be able to get out. so of course I moved and blocked them in. they came back out pissed and yelling about having a party to go to. I laughed and told them ill leave when im ready to. from there they threatened to call the police for me blocking them in. told them go ahead your double parked im legal. said they are going to just get in and push my car out of the way I pointed up at a camera. rolled my window up ate a sandwhich then left. they went to take off out the parking lot when I cop saw them swerve past us and almost swipe a semi. they had a bad day all for double parking and in a hurry to get to a party. was a 7 passenger van with like 9-10 people in it to, lol.

    got to love those pioneer head units. they like to play clean way up there in volume.
  24. alaskanzx5
    a lot of people use 12 gauge for subs. I prefer 8gauge but that's just me.

    if i dont go back to alaska i will at least be attending slamology and possibly competing. anyone know what class 2 15s and a single t1500.1bdcp would put me in? all behind the seat in a hatchback.

    1. alaskanzx5

      alaskanzx5

      by then I hope to have at least an upgraded stock battery and I will have a 250amp alt.

      Why you runnin a 1500? Don't those 15's handle more? I got 2 12's on same amp. Just curious, not bashing or anything in any way, just simply asking. As far as class? NO idea.

    3. alaskanzx5

      alaskanzx5

      single t1500.1bdcp for the time being. going to work on electrical before getting a second.
