cheap, clean, loud....pick 2.

This happens in my truck with a vented enclosure. The difference with the windows up vs. down is pretty great. Is there an enclosure type that would be more resistive to this? It makes tuning pretty difficult. Almost need a windows up, and a windows down setting.

*WARNING Stupid Newb Question* Couldn't he add some polyfill to get the desired effect? It is my understanding that adding polyfill is similar to a displacement increase. Increased displacement would lower tuning, right?

Nice build, work looks great. What is the purpose of the divider between the speakers?

You could wire some bass blockers in with the stock speakers. That will cut out the low frequencies. This is not the best way to do it, but probably the cheapest. Bass Blockers (150 Hz cut-off) Pairs at Crutchfield.com

What is the "right" way to wire a power wire from the battery to the amp without a fuse?

I feel like the z130 and the 9980 are meant to compete, however, the 9980 is about $400 more than the z130. That is why I am comparing it to the 6980. I don't think I will ever use voice control. Mostly ipod, fm, bluetooth, and occasionally the nav.

Which of these headunits would you choose and why? I am literally stuck between the two of them and cannot choose. DNX6980 AVIC-Z130BT Price is not a factor as I can get them both for very near the same $. Thanks in advance for any advice.

WOW, good catch, I missed that one. Definitely NOT ok to run power and ground from the same dist. block.

If it is blowing the fuse as soon as you connect it, you have a short. Go over all of your power wires again. Something is more than likely grounded somewhere.

I don't know anything about your subs, or box, but have you looked for the specs here? MANUALS - Cadence Acoustics, LTD It might help if you mention what model your subwoofers are.

The ports are 2.25" each. I am wondering what will happen when they combine into a single 5.25" port after the divider. What effect will the ports joining and expanding that 3/8" each have on things?

Couldn't you run each coil off of its own channel on a 2 channel amp to achieve a 4 ohm load?

Ok, so I have been doing a lot of reading, and research. I have narrowed my choices down to 4 subwoofers. The issue is, I still have a little trouble understanding all of the subwoofer parameters. I would like to run 2 subs, either 10" or 12". I have approx. 4 cubic feet total to use after...
