N9neMillahhh

I get loudest with port and subs firing trunk. So I was planning on that. And yeah I guess im gonna have to do double baffle with an extra board on front. Gotcha. Lemme check that site though shogen! How do their sizes compare?

That sounds about good, I want to do a flush baffle, is that still possible since these are 65 lbs each?

Also gonna ask you guys about some wire options. I currently have Audiopipe 1/0 CCA power wire and Big3, but I plan on buying all new 1/0 OR 2/0, depending on if I need it. First question, could I just use another 100ft of the Audiopipe for another run of pos/neg to dual inputs on my amp? Or do I need OFC?

Shogen I was gonna get the platinum series too but I decided Redtop since it's about the same for 40 less.

Chris: 40" wide by 15" tall by 20" deep, I'm not very familiar with port area or anything, I just want them to be low and loud, cause I love lows. I'd say I'm okay with losing some highs, especially above about 55 or 60. '97 Nissan maxima btw! Krakin: yeah I feel ya lol I've spent tons of hours just trying to design the right box.

Far from gay. Would I have the space to do that Chris?

Well I want a smaller battery in the trunk too and you guys said to match the batteries, does that company have a smaller battery like Kinetik has? An I contacted Singer and he has a 250A that he could make for me, would that be enough? I'm just trying to get guided through this cause I'm a dumbass when it comes to this stuff...

I'm only seeing the kinetik 1200 and 1400 reverse...cause the way my car is set up is stupid and I need reverse polarity.

Nope. This is all stuff for my next system. And I need it planned before I get it all. As for the battery, which model of the Kinetik is the equal to the group 34R optima Redtop?

I am in no way a box designer so I hardly have any idea what the hell you're talking about Chris lol. 18th order? I didn't know those even existed... As for you Krakin I have just been trying to get my system planned, so I have yet to actually get the alternator and batteries. But im thinking the Mechman 270A...Redtop up front and a kc800 in the trunk.

I would suggest you to sit back, don't touch any equipment, read much more of the forums, and ask educated questions related to box design and a systems electrical. Krakin I've tried reading up and posting threads, asking questions and I always get different answers. Always. I asked what size alternator I should get, some people said 250 with 3 batteries, some said 270 with a couple batteries, a lot said a 370 with 4 batteries cause they like overkill. What's your OPINION on what I need? I know that there are always debates, thats why i want an opinion. You know what I'll be running.

More like a Zv4 6" with a 4" surround! ;D look at that absolute beauty move!

You guys is bosses!

Well I'm just planning and designing I'm not building yet! But damn this is funny to read! Lol anyways thanks for the advice fellas, I might check back in once the specs are released, and I know it's late but here. also! Any more advice on an alternator? I don't want to overkill it so I don't wanna throw in any money that I don't have to.

Well they don't have the specs out yet...and I will have a Singer 250A with his overdrive pulley with a Redtop under the hood and probably two runs knu cca to a khc800 in the trunk, plus the big 3 of course. Singer said that his 250A is ideal for 4-5kw systems and he's credible. Does all that sound good to you guys? I don't want overkill so I don't need an XS3100.

Well that's also just the Zv3, so im not sure that it'll be the same, besides that seems pretty small for them...Seems like if it was 1cube the magnet wouldn't even fit lol that motor is massive. I will be feeding them with a SAZ3500v2 @ 1 ohm so they will be matched for RMS. if not with a few extra watts, as you guys know sundown amps are champs.

How do I account for displacement? I'm gonna make a kerfed port and do 45s in all the corners, two front plates with an extra one to make em look sexier, and possibly some extra bracings. Once I get it designed I'll put it up with the specs I used and you guys can tell me if it's okay? I wont be back in town until Friday night. You guys have any advice or help with designing it further?

And cause I like 10s better, they sound better in my car. I just like em more. I might upgrade to the 18 when I get bored though! So the box for the 10s is gonna be 4 cubes @ 33Hz?

So 35 or 33 Hz?

What would happen if I tuned it at 30 Hz?

Yeah man for sure. I'll stick with 4 cu ft for the boxes and play around with it, I'll start at 33 then try 35, and 30 for the last shot. See what I like best. Thanks guys! Edit: Or if I love it enough I'll leave it as is! I kinda wanna hit 20 Hz though and watch my car turn to jello...

Always ported mate. I will never go back to sealed. Worst mistake of my car audio life (so far) was trading a ported box for a sealed box. Never gonna do sealed again.

Thanks fellas. What tuning? Cause I know with some subs you can tune it to 36 and they'd still murder the lows. I like stuff like Tech N9ne, Jeezy, low stuff.

Well my max dimensions are 40"w by 20"d by 15"t and I'm getting a pair of the 10s cause 10s sound the best in my car. Should I run them at 1 ohm then? And how big of a box should it be?

So I've been researching into the Z v.4 and I saw that this guy has a 12" on a 3500D @ 1 ohm and @ .5 ohm loads, and the .5 ohm load makes it unreal. So should I get two of these powered by a 3500D v2? Or should I only use one?
