WillPwn4Food Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 So, Pretty soon here I'm thinking about FINALLY starting one of my dreams... Walling a Ford Taurus. Oh, yeah. But I have one main concern... Will (2) AQ HDC3 18's or (2) DC level 4 18's be too heavy for the suspension? Going to probably be running 2 XS Power batteries as well as 1 AQ 2200D or (2) AQ 1200's. You guys think it'll hold or will I have to go air ride?

iKidwell Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 It gonna be the wall that's so heavy, you might wanna get new springs, but air ride probably won't be necessary c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress
WillPwn4Food Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Posted August 25, 2011 Yeah, I was thinking that... My current springs are still pretty stiff (oddly as they're stock) and I already have a big ass box and 15" in my trunk... I can't imagine that a wall would be THAT much heavier, as the box will only be 2-3x as big as my current one.

tonedeaf Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 If you're on stock springs, it will probably take it fine. If you're lowered about 3" like me, thats where it becomes an issue. Worse comes to worse get aftermarket struts. Your springs will be fine im sure.
WillPwn4Food Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Posted August 25, 2011 Better struts would be the way to go?
