iPACKgoldDOTS Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 I ordered my SP4s yesterday too & I'm personally doing 2 SD5k's on 4. First, welcome! Second, the amps & batts your doing... why not sale those & get some equip that'll really make them slam. What you're doing is like buying a nice, new LED 60" TV & watchin VHS tapes on it... With your current equip, your BTL's will probably sound off better than the SP4s due to you're only moving to a better sub, that requires more, but that's the only upgrade you're doing.. The BTLs were running off two yellow tops with dead cells and couldn't hold a charge. I did 152.6 on music with 2000 watts on each (from over rated soundstream amps) Even with the small size of the batcaps they are more powerful than my previous battery setup. If I could cut up the truck to fit more batteries I would. But I can't. As for the amps maybe they won't be as loud as your 5ks ( which are amazing amps by the way!!!) but im not spending 5k on this set up either lol hopefully as my wedding passes I can add to this build an the wifey will be cool with it seein as this is my last act as a single man! Btw I have a 55 inch Samsung LED and I run blu ray Oh also can you respond with what those 5ks cost? I'm extremely interested in them. Even if I bought those I could keep the BRZ an they won't go to waste Sometimes I think the guys on this forum have a lack of understanding for those of us with family commitments and our lack of excess funds. Looks like you an I are on the same page brother! It's a blessing in itself for me to be getting married let alone her allowing me to do what I'm doing! I'm keeping my word by sticking to a budget! If the wife ain't happy no one is lol Link to my build log : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/128213-fi-sp4-18s-3400-watts-on-each/

iPACKgoldDOTS Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 Ok so my saw took a shit and I have now spent all my money on equipment. I'm not a happy camper so I'm having to out source the box to a friend of mines shop. It will still be to spec and he does great work (he actually was head of the Diamond Audio booth at SBN last year) he is only building the box no trim or paneling work will be done by him as I like that part of the build the most. Of course my table saw would go out before Christmas and after I spent all this money but my friend is kind enough to help out so I'll let him. As soon as I get the box pics will be up!!!

ktraughb Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 For the record, I have installed many brz amps and used them, and they can absolutely slam. They've surprised the hell out of me with their power.
