tristan560 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 You just won my heart to the Fi's. Haha, and what do you know, these fi's are going to be in a honda Haha. You'll be in good hands, awesome equipment and customer service. I've owned every sub they've made so far at some point. Never been disappointed.

RyanJ Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 you NEVER ever go by MAX ratings, which soundstream tends to use... 12.5 is low voltage, thats bad in car audio... you will want atleast 1/0 gauge wiring if you get the BLs and the AQ AQ actually does put out power it claims DONT ever use a capacitor, they are worthless get a battery instead your buddy probably has Pyle 15s or similar, garbage subwoofers no lie... if you can get some one to design a box, specific for your car on here, you shouldnt have ANY problem being louder than him Where have you been all my life? Haha Jk, but yeah. Wait so I should go with the BL's and the AQ. And I need to buy a battery? Like, honestly, all I know is subwoofers and Amp names. Thats about it. And the sound that they make. But, otherwise, I am as lost as hell. Whats a capacitor? Is that an alternator? And I should buy a battery WITH subs + amp? And when you mean the 1/0 gauge wiring, what do you mean? Man if you guys have a post that I can read up on, I would appreciate it A LOT. Cause I feel like I flunked Audio school 16 years in a row.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 1/0 is your power wire going from your front battery to your amp... the AQ inputs are 1/0 inputs yes, i believe you SHOULD get another battery in the back wired up with the one up front a capacitor is nothing like a alternator, a alternator makes power, a capacitor stores it and discharges it when bass hits, similar to a battery but no where near as effective.. I would buy a battery with subs, i recommend Kinetik batterys, Audiosavings.com have really good deals on them I also recommend doing the BIG 3 up front under your hood http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/13280-how-to-do-the-big-3-tutorial/ big 3 tutorial at that link yes, If i had the choice between your buddys equipment or the equipment you are thinking of running, I would run the FI and AQ over his shit any day...

Well, lets go then! Haha. So let me get this straight. Okay, this is what I will need for my system: -2 Fi Fully stocked BL 15's -1 AQ2200 Amp -1(??) Kinetik, (or any sort of battery) wired to my subs -1 Amazing Box (I think I want to learn how to make my own box, so in the future, help out my friends, so if you know a tutorial video, or any of that, please feel free to list them) -Will I need a wiring kit? Probably, so can you list some good ones, that aren't to pricey, but can get the job done. -Will I need a on / off switch for the subs? Someone on youtube said I did.. But I doubt its necessary. -A Pioneer headunit *And yeah, that's pretty much all I can think of at the moment, but here's a question. Do you think I will need to like uhh.. Foil up my car? Like, what people do with 18's. Like they put this foil around there trunk and roof and stuff, and, yeah. Haha it reduces the rattling? Idk. Haha well, tell me if this is all I need, cause if so, well, I'm off to go!

Team_DC-Derrick Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 the kinetik is for your amp, not your subs... wiring kit you just need RCAs and speaker wire, and a remote wire, no you dont need a on off switch Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

You should DEFINITELY look at members builds and learn some stuff, I'm not baggin on you or anything, you said yourself you only really know companies and stuff. Don't just buy stuff and half ass the job, take time and research, ask a few questions here and there, people on here will help you out. And also having people install for you will cost a fortune.
