Hifonics Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Posted October 22, 2011 Im leaning towards the SoloX at the moment! 2 8's won't hit the lows as well as an 18 or 15 will it? 2010 F150 FX4-18" AA Mayhem-Crescendo BC3500d-Pioneer GM-D9500F 4-channel-2 Crescendo FT1 -2 Crescendo Neo Forte 6.5 -Pioneer AVH-P3300BT-6000K HID Headlights/Fog lights-All LED interior lighting-20% tint on front windows, 1% rear windows, 5% windshield strip-Big3 (XSFlex 0ga) -DC Power 270XP -Group 65 NorthStar AGM battery Coming soon/plans: -Build log-Blacked out mirror reflectors-Tinted tails/3rd brake light
TeamHT Posted October 22, 2011 Report Posted October 22, 2011 My current setup has a 4cu box. My new box will be 6cu. Ok Now im willing to spend a bit more, realizing that I won't get the quality that i'm looking for if I buy crappy subs. I am now looking at: AQ HDC415-D1-A: http://www.audioque.com/HDC415-D1-A_p_136.html (15") VS Kicker solo X 18": http://www.kicker.com/SoloX There are no Versus threads allowed here, simply because there are too many factors. I can say, you are not going to want the HDC4 if you play anything more than one note. I am not a fan of the Solo X Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

Plus the factors and restrictions have been stated. 2600RMS 6CU BOX TUNED TO 35hz. I just want feedback from you guys to see which would suit me best for spl with a bit of sq (don't want it to sound like an old twat fart when it hits the lows). I'm still open to other suggestions, I don't know all the brands and which are relatively good. So far we got DD and DC and Kicker and AQ. All great subs. If you don't want to contribute, please feel free not to say anything k thx a lot to those who are helping me! 2010 F150 FX4-18" AA Mayhem-Crescendo BC3500d-Pioneer GM-D9500F 4-channel-2 Crescendo FT1 -2 Crescendo Neo Forte 6.5 -Pioneer AVH-P3300BT-6000K HID Headlights/Fog lights-All LED interior lighting-20% tint on front windows, 1% rear windows, 5% windshield strip-Big3 (XSFlex 0ga) -DC Power 270XP -Group 65 NorthStar AGM battery Coming soon/plans: -Build log-Blacked out mirror reflectors-Tinted tails/3rd brake light
Hifonics Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Posted October 23, 2011 Sorry for double post but I was reading more on the forum and realize that I was probably clipping the shit out of my BTL (even though I had it checked by a "professional"). I think I'm gonna go with 2 15's and throw a lot less at em. That way I would have more cone area and hopefully will be louder. Might also recone my BTL and build a new box to make it louder. Or possibly get another one off here hopefully someday. I should have bought an SUV because I'm going to lose my back seat after I'm done lol 2010 F150 FX4-18" AA Mayhem-Crescendo BC3500d-Pioneer GM-D9500F 4-channel-2 Crescendo FT1 -2 Crescendo Neo Forte 6.5 -Pioneer AVH-P3300BT-6000K HID Headlights/Fog lights-All LED interior lighting-20% tint on front windows, 1% rear windows, 5% windshield strip-Big3 (XSFlex 0ga) -DC Power 270XP -Group 65 NorthStar AGM battery Coming soon/plans: -Build log-Blacked out mirror reflectors-Tinted tails/3rd brake light

Hifonics, I know for a fact you can find used DD 3515s for $300 or less a piece, and they get loud with relatively little power, and can take a beating. Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012.

Dude we need to make a noob smd were all the noobs can go to give and take eachothers super shitty advice! This is sad Ok man, I might be a "noob" but I don't make a living at this stuff. It's a hobby of mine. If you knew how to read you would have seen that my system was installed by a professional installer. So it's not my fault if he screwed up. Additionally, if you actually read my last post, I said I was doing some reading on the forum to learn more about clipping and found out what I was doing wrong. I also stated that I might recone the BTL and build a better box for it. Everyone has to start somewhere. Did you pop out of the womb knowing everything there is to know about everything in the world? Take your ego and go on somewhere. Please don't use people to try to prove something to yourself. You might know a lot, or very little, but I'm sure there's some people on here that would make YOU look like a Noob. We need to make an a$$hole section just for you Ah I feel better now. Lol. To Supercharged DCs: Thanks for the advice about the DD's bro. I'll for sure check em out. 2010 F150 FX4-18" AA Mayhem-Crescendo BC3500d-Pioneer GM-D9500F 4-channel-2 Crescendo FT1 -2 Crescendo Neo Forte 6.5 -Pioneer AVH-P3300BT-6000K HID Headlights/Fog lights-All LED interior lighting-20% tint on front windows, 1% rear windows, 5% windshield strip-Big3 (XSFlex 0ga) -DC Power 270XP -Group 65 NorthStar AGM battery Coming soon/plans: -Build log-Blacked out mirror reflectors-Tinted tails/3rd brake light
kam311 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 I'm not the asshole, I'm trying to help you! I think the assholes are the Ones supporting you in this horrible decision! Look man I'm more than 100% willing to help you so that your new set-up can be better. Bit I'm telling you, the sub you have is more than capable of shitting all over any of the other subs that have been mentioned here. I'm not even the biggest FI fan, I like sundown and obsidian, but I'm not going to support you in making a mistake, and anyone that wants to help you get loud shouldn't either. Sorry if I sounded rude, but I'm not so far...

Sorry if I sounded rude, but I'm not Np dude, lets squash it. Just go read your posts though and you will see why I felt offended. If you call ppl names they will feel offended most of the time man.

kam311 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Yeah sorry it wasn't really intended toward you tho, you are the op, the one with a question, obviously you arnt the most experienced person and that is why you have a question, and that is totally 100% fine, I and everyone on here would love to help and share some knowledge! What was bugging me is a handful of noobie kids that were asking the same questions last week coming on here and telling you what sub to get like they know. It seems like the last couple weeks everytime I read a thread where the op is asking for help I see a bunch of people giving them really bad advice. It's frustrating... I'm sorry you were offended, it wasn't the point, and there are some really knowledgable people on here to take advice from, most of whom did not post in this thread lol and I'm not saying I'm one of them but I do know them when I see them at least. Stick around for a while an you'll see. Good luck brother so far...
