Willing to pay 300 for a used AQ2200 and 400 for a pair of HDC3 15s.

The subs still for sale?

You can make anything load. It just depends on what you put in it.. It looks like those are SUV type cars so you should do an SUV type box. Subs up, port back.

Yeah.. swap out the RCA's and see if that fixes it. You've got a bad ground somewhere in your wiring if that doesn't fix it..

Just use the box calculators all over the net. RE has a nice one for L shaped slot ports. Your driver manufacturer should give the total displacement of the woofer. And for bracing you just get the volume of the brace and add it in there. Your box should be able to give enough room for however many cu. ft you want to do + driver and bracing displacement.

Oh yeah you should always have a good alarm before you start loading your car with expensive equipment lol. For the headunit.. If you stay with kenwood, you won't be disappointed no matter which one you get. I've had ALOT of kenwood decks and they are all very nice.

Sounds like a bad idea to me, the sun + glue.. It'd probably lift right off of any major dips in the dash. I would just paint it the same color as whatever you're wrapping your seats with.

Well, usually that's why would cover your dash with a cover in direct sunlight.. but after the fact I guess all you can do is pull it out and put a new one in, or permanently cover it with a nice cover...

PA & Lanzar = :No: Waste of money when you can spend a few more hundred and get 10x the quality.

SA-15 @ SSA

Stick with the sundowns.. They are really great subs. You're looking at 470 for the SA-15D4's. If you really want 15s then spend the extra money now so you don't end up getting something you will be replacing anyways.

Oh, and what do you have those kenwood amps wired to? I had a couple 12's wired at 2 ohms, set the gains right before clipping which was like 750 watts.. boom a week later your problem showed up. I would turn the volume down and it would stop and play constant.. I grabbed a clamp and volt meter, checked the output.. 400 watts. That amp just seems to be SHIT! It'll play all day at 400 watts.. Try it, set the gains for 400 watts and see if you find the same thing. Just barely going over 430 watts would make mine lose power.

You know what... I had a few of them kenwood 1800's also, and they both do that same shit! Get a refund if you can and don't look back!

You can get a pair of sundown SA-12's for less than $400. Check em out on youtube, I think I saw a dude do 150db+ with a pair of em on 3k watts or somethin like that.

Duplicolor makes a fabric and vinyl paint that I like to use on interior parts. I painted the pillars and doors handles etc on the inside of one of my old cars and it held up for two years. The paint is flexible so it won't crack and shit.

Why so many.....? Do you have another batt bank?

Nice setup n8, but.. where exactly are all those damn power wires going?

Who makes them? I have only found dual kits for the 99 and up

Never charge your batteries overnight unless that charger will stop when the battery is 100%.

Doesn't really matter if you disconnect it or not. I personally would charge them completely unhooked. Just take the pos and neg off and charge em. 2 amp or 10 amp same situation, doesn't really matter. Just be careful that you don't overcharge them.

5.7L, will DC's dual kit for the 99's work on the 98? Or does any other company make dual alt bracket for this truck

What is your problem eric? Do you seriously just start shit out of the blue?

Just recone them, and hope it doesn't happen again lol.

I already know the SA's need less air space, alot less. 1.5 cubes per sub for the more "SPL" oriented setups, sundown says. It seems to me there is more trouble here by the people that are saying "no vs no vs" than there is people fighting about what company is better. People get compared, and companies DEFINITELY get compared all the time, it's life. How about Soundstream? They got some cool lookin stuff. I'd actually consider using their useless power block just because it lights up . Quality wise though, what do you guys think of SoundStream?

I'll change the topic sorry. This was not intended to be a vs thread. I simply cannot fit the AQ's in my trunk so I'm asking, how do the SA's compare?
