The 12's are SA's dual 2 ohms, so each amp is seeing a .5 ohm load. After impedence rise the amps are putting out 3400 or so watts, with the addition of the 100.4 I'm going to say a solid 7K watts is what the alt is supporting. However, you have to remember that I have 3 D3100's and a D3400 under the hood.

the alts on the first gen focus are a bit of a pain. not a whole lot of room to work with.

I'm confident that it's the loudest unwalled ZX3 on the planet.

Yes...challenge accepted. Hopefully my recones will be together this by this weekend, and we can get my zx3 bumpin. I've got two 18" Fi BTLs on 4 AQ2200's. So, we might can compete...lol

T-MONEY here on the forum also had a Irragi in a zx-3. His just went out a couple of weeks ago. He had nothing but problems with it her in the last 6 months. He ordered a mechman on last tuesday and it was shipped to him and installed on Friday. He is more than happy with the product and the excellent service @ Mechman.

Keep up the good work Mechman!

Curious, what do those Cuz point up on numebers with the SD's?

That should be loud, but 18's are too big to put up great numbers in the car with the entire install in the hatch. There is just no way at all to get an optimum enclosure to fit without blocking off airflow which significantly reduces spl. I've been working on spl in my ZX3 for 5 years now and have tried every type of box and sub configuration that would fit in the hatch, and the best I've come up with so far is the 4 12" setup that I have now.

If you're looking for numbers only and not a daily setup you'd be better off running just one of those 18's and strapping all 4 amps to it. I've personally done a 152.6 on the dash sealed with a single 15" and 3800 watts clamped.

I welcome all to challenge what I've said here, and believe me it's not going to be easy. I will gladly bow down to the ZX3 owner that puts up a louder score than a 155.7 on the dash with the car sealed, and the entire install in the hatch of the car. If you've got an install that goes beyond the hatch then we're not talking the same thing here. By limiting the enclosure to the very small defined space that's available in this car it makes louder numbers than what I've already done very very hard. I have done my research across the forums and searched for other loud ZX3's and the closest that I've seen is high 152's. I wouldn't make such a bold statement if I didn't believe it to be true.

Sorry for the off-topic curveball here.

If there is really interest in this becoming a topic on it's own as kind of a challenge to all ZX3 owners with the loudest sealed hatch install then a thread can be made to further discuss the details.

I believe that your refering to Tim, from Sac Town. We've actually talked some and I've actually given him advice. He was in a video that Meade made using his distortion detector to tune his Soundstream 10K. He was running a single 18 at the time and iirc he was right around the mid 150-151 mark.
