EvanSpurlock Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I will admit I did not read the thread rules I do apologize I did not mean any harm. I am just lost on my decision and wanted some help. It wont happen again. Okay i have 3 sx 10's on a sundown 3000d right now hitting a 148 and i want to upgrade. I have a ex cab s10 and I cant decide between re-coning to 3 Sx 15's on a sundown 3000d, or 3 Fi Btl n2 15's on 2 sundown 3000d's. Would it be worth going big or would the Sx 15's be pretty loud? I want a 150+ and im just not sure if the Sx's will give that to me and make me as happy as id like to be. And this isnt for competing this is just for daily driving. The Sx setup will cost be about $1500 and the Fi setup will cost me about $2600-3000. Idk which to get? Some help would be great! BTW I don't mean to down either of the companies I just want some opinions My electrical is upgraded 2 kinetic 1800's, a 220a alternator, 2 runs 0f 2/0 wire, and the BIG 3 upgrade. My current box is 5 cubes after port tuned to 38hz double face plate 1.5'' subs forward port up ( port is 3'' wide 12'' long and 13'' deep) kinda weird port my box guy suggested it but that's only 36^2'' of port area isn't that too small?

Supercharged DCs Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 36sqin of port for a 5cube box? Damn son, that's only 7sqin per cube. Build a better box and you'll get that 150!

I know it's wrong got your message but in a way yes but mainly what is the best bang for the buck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Duudddeeee, build a better box with more port. 16sqin per cube and you should have that 150. That's the best bang for your buck, only $100 in materials! Or shit, read Fecupes thread in the SPL section about testing!!! You'll get that 150 for sure if you test test test your current system.

Ok thanks. Last thing what about batteries I don't think my 2 1800's is enough what do you suggest?

TeamHT Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 What would be louder threads are still prohibited too OP. I have a couple questions though that might help you figure out what it is you're looking for. Where are you getting $2600-$3000 for the FI setup? What vehicle do you have and where is your installation going? The dimensions you gave seem to be slacking. Before you go on a shopping spree though, it would be cheaper to pay for a proper enclosure than to buy new gear. Maybe you can get a better listening experience. Check out RAM-Designs for a quote on a new design. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out RAM-Designs for a quote on a new design. 3 Fi Btl n2's loaded= $1200 Another Sundown 3000d (strapping) approx. $600 - $700 I have availability new xs 3100 $400 new new box professionally built 12 cubes after port doubled walls 1.5'' thick approx $500 Total approx $2600 - $3000 (tax, shipping, etc.) Understandably the new setup would yield higher output than my original system even with a new box so why not go big and have myself settled for the time being? Which dimensions the only ones I gave were from my original port area? The new box would be worlds different. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
