Davey Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Alright first off..Hey guys, new here. I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 4 door. I'm looking to put either 2 fully loaded 15" or 18" Fi BTL's in a blowthrough. Preferably the 18s. However, I don't want my whole bed to go to waste. So will I have enough box room for the 18s without making the bed unusable? Another question. I don't know whether to go with the dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm. And I would also like some amp suggestions. I have a couple in mind such as the Rockford T2500, Soundstream DTR1.3400D or something from Planet Audio. I really prefer Hifonics but none of them seem like they would be right for the subs. I think I wanna run 2,500 to 3,000 watts or so on each sub..possibly more, possibly less. I don't mind having an amp for each sub either. Pretty sure the most I'm willing to pay total for amps is 2,000. Lemme know if you need any more info or anything. Thanks for anything guys!

Hows it going i like the ideas your having im in a little pickel myself on something similar lol but with a mustang.first thing i woudl do is see how much box you need for the 18 and then how much space your bed actually has and start crunching some numbers and i support the Rockford T2500 becasue that is what i will be using and have never had any problems with them and also a sub per amp i just think looks cool seeing them both going at the same time.. yeahhhhhhh thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 15s, like 6 to 10. The other idea I had, but forgot to mention was just one 18. If I went with the T2500s, do you think I should go with the dual 1 ohm or the dual 2 ohm? I've always thought the one sub per amp thing was cool too. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha well if space is not an issue would just go with the 2 18's.. for the system build im getting reday to do its going to be 3 15 AA/SMD subs with a t2500bd amp per coil so a total of six amps lol i dont know if that helps you at all Edit: and i dont know about the other amps because i have never used them.

I just looked up those subs. I didn't realize they had came out already. I'm kinda considering them now but it's a lot of money to get them going. I'd also like to know more about them. Hows the sound quality compared to the BTLs? Oh and which coil option are you going with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and which coil option are you going with? with that amount of power its not really going to matter wither one but probably the 2 ohm just becasue the amp is more efficient at 2 ohm than 1 ohm. and i have no idea how they compare to the BTL's. and yeah its alot of money but since i already have three amps im like a third of the way there i guess lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not about to buy 4 amps. Haha Could always go with the Hifonics Maxximus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Alright so now I got some other ideas if anybody wants to pitch in. Definitely sticking with Fi's after seeing the price on the SMD's. I'm sure it's totally worth it but I don't have the money. So here are my new ideas. 2 fully loaded Fi 18s Dual 1 ohm with 2 Hifonics Brutus 2600 watt amps. Or 2 fully loaded Fi 18s dual 2 ohm with 4 Hifonics Brutus 2600 watt amps. Or some sort of configuration with 2 Hifonics Colossus amps. I don't know, help me out guys. More amp suggestions would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
