Purplehaze Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Do 15s but do xls do 1.4 coils and strapp 2 5ks down low. That's my plan in the near future Honestly I was thinking about the xl's, cause so many people are having such good luck with them. So you think the 5K's could handle that low of a load strapped? It would be .7 ohm final load, correct? And probably up around 2 ohm after rise? Yeah I'd love to do exactly that! But money is the enemy, right now I have about $2500 to spend on subs and amps, and that doesn't include anything electrical! So that's why I was thinking one 5K now, and another one later! And btw I LOVE your system! And thanks for the replies! So 15's over 18's, no wall. Anyone else???

n8ball2013 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 are you going all the way to the front seats? if so just wall it off. That way you actually have a place to display your amps. much respect to you guys doing it no wall from the cargo area but if you are wasting the back seats as is just take the plunge.

CJ18 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I dont see enough space back there to do 4 18s. I just got done with a box for 4 XL 18s and my final dimensions were 49w x 43d x 25.5h. This gave me 21ft after displacements for 5.25 per sub. This would be good for the Level 4 18s but I would suggest getting that extra .25ft3 per sub and getting up to 5.5 per sub and use 14in2 of port per cube. Personally if you want to stay below the window line I would do 15s. You are going to be looking at needing 3.5ft3 per sub after displacements with the Level 4 or XL 15s. If you plan to add a second 5k later then definitely go ahead and invest in the XLs so you dotn have to try and sell your subs later to be able to upgrade. If you want to go ahead and get the amps we have a 15% off pre sale running right now. Shoot me a PM if you ahve any questions about the prices on anything.

True, that's a very good point! No more taxi services! Also, I got a rear view camera hooked to the monitors, so I can still see behind me anytime I want! Yeah I have been dreaming about doing a wall for, oh at least 15 years, ever since I started driving! But looking at my car, I'm just not sure 4 18's are gonna fit real well, either way! It would be close. But 4 15's will work easy. Decisions, hmmm??? Thanks for the advice guys! EDIT: Yeah CJ18, that's what I was thinking too. It would be SUPER tight to get 4 - 18's in their. Plus in that car, 4 - 15" XL's on 2 5K's would be INSANE! Yeah that sounds like a pretty sweet idea to me!

n8ball2013 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 if you wall it you could do 4 18s. just no wall wont fit. you have 20 cubes below hte window line. once you start going over it you get alot more.

And I believe you are right. Might as well go ahead and do the wall. And 4 18's. Thanks for the input guys. And be on the lookout here in a couple of months for Stage 3 - The Wall! And I thought since I'll be switching from Kicker to DC, the name of my ride will go from "Kickin' Cruiser" to "DC Cruiser". Get it, Chrysler DC Cruiser? I thought it was catchy anyway, Idk? But thank guys!

Purplehaze Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well, it is official. DC FTMFW! I just ordered a new 5.0K, so it's gonna be the "DC Cruiser"! Now to decide on the subs, 15's or 18's. Level 4, or XL, or Level 5? Think I'll take my time and get some more feedback!

tonedeaf Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Unless you plan on going with more power, i'd stick with XLs. The XLs will take that power and then some and you wont have to worry about pushing them to thermal or mechanical limit. Im only doing 3 18" lvl 5s and plan on using 2 9ks if not some SD or stetsoms. Also, with that space, you've probably got the room for 4 18s...problem is going to be your height. 2 18s on top of eachother take up alot of space, so hopefully you've got almost 40" of height or you may be in trouble and may need to clamshell. With 4 XL 18s, id shoot for 25ish cubes and I hear the XLs like alot of port, so shoot for 17-19 per cube. That port takes up so many cubes so damn fast.
