6 or 8 18" BTL's in the suburban

[tripleb45]

This is simply to help me make up my mind a lot faster so I can start heading towards my goal. Ok I have a 1994 Chevy Suburban and I am getting ready to start my build. I have 5 BTL's and I am not doing an odd number of subs, just my preference. I just want to know the most popular choice and why.

This is my last thread about my build until I get my pics on here later this week. Please keep it positive. Oh yeah for all those that don't know Fi is almost at a 1 month stand still so if you order your subs today, there is a possibility that it may take close to a month to get them. Please don't hassle them they are moving to a new building.

question is do you have the room? and do you have the power?

[tripleb45]

Yes it is a suburban and I am going to run all AQ 3500's with about 10 batteries powermaster and maybe 4 H/O 300 amp alts.

i would run 6 18s in a clam shell.

How much room do you have? And you're gonna run a 3500 per BTL?

if you got the $$$ and the room.... do 8 of them...

nah man he has never done a build this large and that would be very hard.

do 6 with 3 8" aero ports?

Well, if you have the funds for six, you might as well go ahead and get eight! IMHO I assume you have plans worked up for both setups?!? Go with what you think will work best, I vote 8 18s!!!

For the space where the 3rd seat used to be it is 54 1/2 inches length from back door to edge of the mini cliff, 55 1/2 inches wide when I remove the spare tire :cray: :cray: and the tool deck and about 43 inches tall. Yes I will run 3500 to each BTL but it wont be pushed to 3500 more like 3000-3100 watts daily or if I feel the need to turn it down or up I will. But def not trying to kill my babies by doing 3500 watts daily.

some of the ideas

4 in a wall

I am thinking if I could scale these down if I wanted to do 8 in walls I could just double these.

6 in a wall
