J R replied to zydrix's topic in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)
Just get Knu. Knu is amazing. I own both of these wires. The cadence is alright for multiple runs of front to back for cheap. Look at some of my topics, one shows Cadence 0 gauge in some pictures that other members posted. For future reference, don't make "vs" threads and do a little research before asking. It will get some people fired up but your new so no worries. -
Happy Birthday Steve!!!
J R replied to SnowDrifter's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
Hey it's the 16th on the east coast, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!! Here's to 41 more -
like others said, hifonics subs suck donkey dick. I've literally blown every one of them i've had on accident. Their amps are awesome though I have never had a problem. If you want to spend 200 or less for a whole system realistically look on craigslist for a sub, box, amp combo. You get what you pay for in car audio. Go with what the other guys recommended. +1 on the sundown's and +1 on type R's.

Upgrade Big 3, Alternator, Battery?
J R replied to xBevy's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
He pretty much summed it up. That's not that much power really. If you wanna play it kinda cheap do the big 3, knukonceptz 0 gauge to a secondary deep cycle battery, knu to the amp, and you should be good. With that amp and sub your stock alternator would be okay if you don't wanna buy another. Otherwise go mechman. -
I feel you guys on the ankles I shattered mine a few years back on a quad. I have one leg longer than the other slightly haha thankfully can't really tell though. Wheelchair for 3 months. The sciatic nerve being pinched sucks though man. Maybe one day in the future of medicine they will come up with a way to fix that.

Yep, 18 years old...I lift engine blocks, heads, cranks, intakes, you name it...all day long. I go to lift a solo x 18 in box in the back of my truck and had to lift a little higher to clear the tailgate so I leaned back a bit and BOOM. Had to go to the ER. My back hurt so bad. Ended up pulling my back, possibly tearing a muscle (more tests soon), and a "dislocated rib"? I didn't even know you could dislocate a rib. Anyways...I'm on the good drugs and feelin' pretty good What makes you old farts feel old?

A good set of 5.25's will be as loud as a decent set of 6.5's. It depends on the speaker quality really.
-
I guess I'll do just that. Was just seeing if anyone had experience with one or both of them in that cubic footage of a box. Still would rather not get bitched at by some guy trying to add to his post count LOL. Anyways, thanks for the tip.
-
It's not a versus thread. If it was it would say vs. or versus. I'm asking what peoples opinion is and which sub they would rather use. Not... "oh well....which is better?" or "which is built by a better company?".... I own both of these subs and currently am running the memphis'. In order to run the kicker I have to make a whole new box so instead of waste my time, I'm getting someone's opinion. Thanks Zach for a straight forward answer and for not bitching

I've got a kicker zx2500.1 for an amp, and an xs d3400 along with 2 optimas for battery. My box is about 6.5 cubic foot. That's all the room I have. What will be louder and have more spl? I know the solo x would be under powered quite a bit, it's 5000rms but I personally think kicker has a little over rated subs. The memphis are 1000rms each but somewhat underrated. I just wanna blow the mother trucker out of my eardrums with the little room I have Thanks guys.
-
Yep! It's all in your opinion. Some people may hate one sub, and other can't put enough of them in their vehicle, as you can see when you look around the board!
-
There is absolutely no possibility of subs in the trunk due to a fuel cell, pump, line, nitrous bottle, and MAYBE my extra batteries for audio...IF I can fit them. I don't run around with my subs cranked up I only turn them up for fun every so often. As for the seats I made brackets to hold the box in place and did triple carpet on the bottom and back of the box. It wasn't cheap carpet either it was pretty thick.

The Type R's are great for rap, if your going with rock they will be okay. For the price they will be great though. The "punch" is pretty good in a ported box but in my opinion...always better in a sealed. I will get flamed for saying that though. Oh and yes, much cleaner in a sealed box as well.
-
I had two dual 2 type R's in my truck with only .8 cuft per sub sealed before sub displacement. I know it's a tiny tiny box, but it's all I could fit. They were great even in that small of a space. They don't require much sealed space at all to sound good if space is the issue. In a 4 cuft sealed box they were monsters. And in a 3.8 cuft slot ported box tuned to 31 I had one type R in there and it was wicked. The one type R ported was louder than 2 sealed. Sealed is easier on the subs and will cover a more wide range of bass but I'd go with ported.
