    i got a hella deal on my mlk2's, no way i would be able to afford a $2500 set of speakers, but they are the best sounding speakers ive had the chance to mess with, prolly one of my fav upgrades, bad thing is most people dont know or could care less about good sound

    but you have to realize there is more to it than just getting nice speakers and putting them in, without a good EQ and Time alignment it would be a waste, if i were you i would look into a processor or new HU, the new kenwood excelon units have a ton of sq stuff in them, T/a, pretty good eq, etc

    well the MT dosent have any fancy cooling channels or anything special like the BTL, most people ran 2000-3000 to them for daily, meade used to use them with a good amt of power, dont know how they held up though, BTL is gonna have agood bit more xmax also, which dosent mean that much but the MT does use a short coil

    both can take a ton of power for burps

    but 4000 is alot of power for 1 sub no matter which ones you decide on, 3000 is more reasonable but still a ton of power, there is only so much power a 3" coil can take continuous

    if it is truly a good deal on the MTs then go that route, they will still beat like hell, but if money isnt that much difference then there are better daily suited subwoofers

    if your having probelms with the SX overheating with 2600 for the pair you might need to rethink running 3000+per sub

    alot of people ran MTs before some of the new companies came out with super subs like the BTL and such, not so much anymore with RE's price hike

    i had 2 15s and a 18, both were awesome subs, my BTL was better for daily like stated, but MTs still did fine

    how cheap is he getting them to you for? back when they were selling direct the prices on 18s were mid-high $400's IIRC

    awesome looking box, close to what im going for

    that looks like a ~02-03 explorer, mine is a 04

    i have 4 lvl4 12s off a t40001

    are those 4 6"s? custom made or PSP ports?

    is that paint or vinly, looks like vinyl

    how big is the box, im guessing no back seat?

    i like the plexi look, ive got an idea with plexi im gonna try and do, already have a sheet of 3/4 or 1" plexi, cant remember what it was

    looks good thought man, looking foward to some vids and numbers

    well i have 3 6" ports on the way, probably gonna plug one for daily tuning and open it up if i want to compete or get that extra peak, just leave them stock length of 17"

    prolly 8 cubes, 30.5hz with 2 and 37.5 with them open, or 32 and 39, sub up port back, my explorer should peak mid 40s or so, but i have deadener on my roof, so it might be higher or lower

    Yesssirr. Sound damn loud. WAAYYY better than the CVRs. I'm havin voltage problems tho after ab 45 seconds of playin soo, I'm lookin for some new amps..lol

    yea the HK's are voltage hogs, glad they are sounding good though

    when you thinking of pulling the wall out

    lookin forward to this build!!! get lotsa pics and videos!!! :hairtrick:

    moose

    i always manage to get lots of pics, there are a good bit on CA.com build log for old one, molded tweeters, box and install etc

    Gratz!! :)

    i agree with Doctor Ben (PhD) do another 4k and XLs :ph34r:

    -Drew

    im done power wise, i dont want or need any more than the t40001

    nice stuff man, i remember you from WAY back on ca.com nice to see you over here

    yea ive been there since 04/05 i think it was, wasted way too much time over there, ive been a member her too for a while, just never really posted any, i dont post like i used too

    You went From 4 T2 15's to 4 LV4 12's....? :huh:

    why?

    i work for a shop that sells RF and other stuff in the vehicle, did a wall full of RF, wall too much for me in a daily driver, took wall out, changing colleges in a month or 2 and going to be leaving to finish up engineering degree, so running subs that i want to, wanted somethign smaller so chose 4 12", got a good deal on the LVL 4's so went that route...following me here? :D

    also any opinions, im gonna do Aero ports on this box, never used them before been wanting to try them out

    box is gonna be 7-8cu ft, tuning of 34hz, i was originally gonna run 2 6" Aeros, which is ~55sq in port around 15.x long

    i get some saying that i need to do 3 6" ports and others saying 2 is fine, like i said never used them before but i thought the point of Flared Aeros was that your able to use a little less than the 12-16sq in rule for port

    if i run 3 that will bump the length up to ~27", which will need extra tubes and connectors plus a whole extra port, probably 60-70$more, im planning on the box only being somewhere around 28-30" deep so the ports would be right up aganist the wall with out doing somethign special, so 3 is pretty much out of the question

    the other option is a Slot port but i wanted to try something different on this box
