Sid420 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Which one should I use? I am walling off my 1998 ford contour. From seats to the trunk. And putting all the amps in the trunk on some kind of rack. So four 18" XL's or 4 18" LVL 5's. This is for a daily driver but I will be trying very hard to get some nice big trophies. Amount is no problem. Also will be putting a new alt don't know what size yet and big three very soon. Amps AQ 2200. 4 or 8 of them. Don't know yet.

LoudBimmer Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 before buying subs you need to decide how many amps you gonna run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyFriery97 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 If 4 AQ2200D then XLs if 8 then level 5s That's ALOT of power, make sure you can drop the $$ for the electrical to back it up..

Sid420 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I was going to run 8 amps one too each VC but I didn't know if I could do that with the XLs and keep them from blowing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 4 on 4 XL18s would probably work nicely. 8 on 4 Lv5 18s would be killer though! Quote Bassless once again.

2loudisjustright Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I think the problem youre gonna find with wanting to run 8 of those amps is getting enough electrical to back it up in that car.

TeamHT Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 8 AQ2200's would be retarded since there are so many more efficient ways of making power. Especially for cheaper. I find when people say price is no object, it USUALLY is. They just do not realize how much a system like this could end up costing. Simply for space available, I would run the XLs. Now...amp and electrical you need some work on. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real96SS Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 That's going to be a tight fit in a contour.I seen those cars in person and its not much room in them even though their sedans.Not saying its not possible just saying its going to be a rough install Quote Vehicle 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche(Co-Co) DNX9980HD 6 Team Fi 15's(King Edition) 3 DC 9k's 8 Nendo PWX 8's 4 Custom Steg 4" Super Tweeters 1 DC Audio 175.4 1 DC Audio 90.4 Rockford 360.3 3 DC Power 370xp Alts(Externally regulated) 21 D1600's 2 D4800's All SMD RCA's AudioTechnix Deadner Viper Alarm My YouTube- http://www.youtube.c...NG?feature=mhee Link to buildlog- http://www.stevemead...4-15s-2-dc-9ks/ Link to UBL- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/165059-ublkings-avalanchecoco-new-build-starting8-king-edition-15-team-fis-in-a-wallyes-a-wall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 lol he will be getting an upgrade of 1 ALT for all 8 amps that will be good right? go with the xl's and 4 amps and for the money of the other 4 amps buy batts instead that ford wont last a year with all that weight in it tho Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?
