The coolest part about this to me is the demonstration of energy transfer. It starts as 120V AC from the wall, goes into the electric motor, converts to mechanical energy, then the alt turns it back into electrical energy, but this time it comes out as 12v DC. Cool Beans

If by pass-thru you mean running a set of rca's out of the amp into the input of the other amp then yes. You could do that or just run another set of rca's from the head unit. But personally i wouldn't bother wasting another precious rca output off the head unit. The way I have mine run, I have my mids and highs amp running out of the pass thru, since my piece of shit radio only has one rca out lol. Also it's funny you should ask that ohm load question. Gave me deja vu because literally an hour ago I was looking into getting an sp4 and wondering if I run mine like that what the ohm load would be. But I think if it is a dual 2 then you don't really have any other option than to run each amp at 2 ohms. Luckily if it is a bdcp, you still make shittons of power at 2 ohms. (I think mine does 1788 at 2 ohms, and 1960 at 1) so not much of a loss running 2 ohms. Either way, If you figure 1500 watts per coil, you will still be feeding that beast plenty of power! Just make sure you're electrical system can handle all that power.

Just noticed you're in Georgia also, Don't want to steer off topic so add me as a friend if you're near south Atlanta maybe we will see each other at some shows or something! I'm always up for a demo too once you get this done! Cheers bro.

Right now I'm running a single 1500-bdcp to an FI ssd 18. I was thinking of doing a single sp4 18 with one bdcp on each coil. I see nothing wrong with that setup provided you match the gains properly. I know meade runs one 2500 per coil on his subs, although I don't think the 1500 has the same sync mode that the 2500 has. Either way, I don't think you need to strap amps to run 2 on each sub. Good luck with the setup. My SSD beats the living hell out of my windshield so I would imagine twice the power and an sp4 would be a whole new level

Loving the plexi. I was really hoping to see you do that! Do work Steve! I'm mad excited about this build man!!

Man Steve this is looking sick! I really think that back of the box is just begging for plexi! Show that craftsmanship off!! By the way, just wondering What happened to the Ascendants and the 6th order?

Lol sorry to confuse everyone. I've got it figured out. Thanks guys you helped me use the torres' properly.

That sounds perfect to me, although, are you sure about the 26hz? I used the torres calculator and double checked it, comes out to 33hz. I just realized my measurments were off, the box is 17.5inches tall once the 3/4'' mdf is accounted for. Also, Bear in mind the port is on the side that is 21inches tall. however, I think i've got it figured out. My box is actually 6.95 cuft. and the port can be 3.7inches wide and 30 inches long I think you may be confusing external dimensions and internal dimensions measure the external dimensions on the box (yes add 0.75 to the depth because the baffle is not installed) and then substract 1.5 inches to each one and those are you internal dimensions, the INTERNAL height is the height of the port. Sorry for confusing everyone here. It made sense in my head. The 21 inches was the internal height. And the 17.5 is the depth. The height is 22.5 on the outside.

2 FI SSDs would be perfect for my amp I just wanted to know if the 1 that i'm starting with will be able to take a full 1500w.

That was the plan My amp does 1600w at 2 ohms and 1965 at 1. But I really don't have the extra $50 to spend, If I did I would probably go more RE sx since I've heard those things can take 3kw in the right box.

Also I know this is a bit off topic but will the SSD break the box firing backwards toward my trunk lid? Or should I turn the box over and fire sub and port up? I know I will get more spl in my car facing backwars, just curious.

Ok so here we go I got the specs below, this box will house 1 FI SSD 18. tell me what you guys think. Box dimensions: 6.3Cu.ft. Width=40in Depth=16in Height=21in My question lies with the port. My port dimensions are as follows; Port height=21in Port length=29in Port width=3 inches. Will 3 inches be wide enough to allow sufficient port area? Or do I need to go up to 4? Also, I can make the port longer, as long as the ssd 18 is not more than 11 inches deep. Once displacement is accounted for this box will be about 5 cuft. I realize it's too small but I originally built it for 2 RF T1's. So it's more or less a temp setup. Port is drawn up in the top right

I'm wondering if I can get away with pushing 1500w to a single SSD 18. Price is a HUGE factor that's why I don't want to spend it all on a Q. If not I can simply turn the gains down until I can afford another one
