here's proof i had an fi

Hey now... I had an 18" Q in there last month... I like this setup way better. You can't really expect good results from fi subs unless u have an expensive, good quality amp on it . I go through so many systems, and i like to represent fi, so i didn't take sticker off. I'm all about cheap systems cause i'm broke and in college, these infinity subs werel ike $44 each

Check it out, and leave lots of feedback. I've had all kinds of systems in my day, this one is pretty sweet, loud as shit (~144dB is my guess) and best sound quality of anything i've ever heard

Yeah dude, back in the day I remember tryin to hustle out 6 hour installs before work and I barley made it on time, they always take longer than ya think

Sorry to be critical, but you coulda hacked off a good foot or two of power line in the engine - dc power doesn't like long wire lengths, that's why edison got shut down. Also, seems like ur ground is grounded on upper deck. That works fine, but it's much better to ground it to main frame, not secondary shit welded onto the frame; that'll help reduce dimming lights and all. Looks like some fun equipment, good job!

Yeah, them hifonics amps are wierd.... I swear by them, been installing and using the 06' line for years and never had a single issue. They kick ass. But then my bxi1206d just started having a dirty output and the same week my buddies started acting up. Crunch probably has the same internals for the most part, but overall they are a great amp, both of them. People like me can't afford kicker or RF power.

And I had a perfect once too.... def. not worth the money. I mean reference sound amazing as they are, you don't gain much for the extra 100 dollars. For what it's worth my kappa components have the best highs I've heard in jsut about any component. What i mean by that is like i've heard CDT and the one i heard had way too bright of highs, and like same with RF, but the Infinity kappa has a great blend of mellow highs and midbass, pretty sweet. So when i get straight up infinity, it'll be a fun time to drive in.

I have kappa components, but i'm getting the reference subs.... The kappa subs are engineered to be lightweight. I'm not a fan of their lightweight magnets, and I bet anything the reference sound better.

I'm tryin to figure how many watts the crunch will put out..... Down the road I will seal my 3 infinities and i want a solid 1100 rms or so for that. For now it will be ported and 900 rms will suffice (1.333 ohm)

obviously best buy's boom room is not a good judge of subs, but I'm sure you got a sneak peak on the Amazing tightness and SQ of a reference series infinity. I've had just about every major brand of sub in my car at one point from fi 18"s down to kicker 10's, and I'm about to order 3 12" reference series tonight, it will be amazing. P.S. - I was fed up with the boom room design, so I submitted my new design idea to corporate when i was an employee and they used my design. So now when you go to the boom room, when u see subs in different boxes, that was part my idea. They had it all wrong before. I said they should to some inifnity 10's ported.

Don't listen to these guys, infinity reference series are some of the best mid-low end subs you can buy. They have the amazing ability to sound AMAZING in just about any sized sealed box, unlike most subs out there. They also sound amazing ported. throw a 10 inch type r in a .75 cube sealed box and it will sound like shit... almost no bass at all.... throw a 10 inch infinity in there and you will be BLOWN away. I actually have experience with this because i unfortunatly installed at best buy for 2 years and I prefered the infinity over every single other sub there when you look at them all around. A p3 or Type R can get louder if it is in the right setup, but all around the infinity is an amazing sub.

nice link!! Sorry if this is posted in wrong section, but it does relate to subs kinda What do other ppl think?

I will have three infinity 1250w (single 4 ohm) subs in ported box. That is 1.3333 Req. I can get GP2500 for $218 on onlinecarstereo http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=18350 I can get the anniversary edition bxi1208d for $250 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=19580 They both claim to be 1250x1ohm which means 1000 or so with maxxonics i'd assume. Just got off the phone with tech and they said they improved the brutus over the 06 models, but he siad to go with the groundpounder. PLEASE HELP, i'll order tonight!!!!! $418 shipped ain't bad for 3 12's and an amp.

With about 1350 RMS, the L7 will cook if he's anything but a good installer. They don't like too much over their rated power, unless its the 2008 model, which I hear is built a little better. I just got done running a 15" L7 and then a 18" Q off a bxi1206d and the Q could handle WAY more power then 1000 watts rms and the L7 got a little smelly on some songs when i was at comps. BUT swear to god the L7 just sounded better. The Q didn't sound nearly as musical. Couldn't hit high notes for shit. Is a 15" Q any better?? maybe a little, but i liked my L7 better and i'm never buying FI again. I think sometimes people on this site get a little too hyped up about these brands that are "in style" or w/e. Fi is cheap as hell though for a uber quality product, i'll give it that.

IDK how the DC's sound sealed, but I can tell you that infinity 1052w sound better in smaller sealed enclosures than any alpine or RF , especially for 10's. Infinitys are kinda on the cheaper side though; you can probably do better for the money. All I know is when I hear somone wants 10's sealed, it'si hard to beat the amazing sound of infinity reference.
