That's kinda what I figured that you could only wire a D2 to 1 ohm, which adds to my confusion/inexperience. But their website reviews said this: It's been daily ran at 0.5 ohms since I got it, pushing 1 HDC3 12". 3 years later, it's still kickin and looks brand new with the old AQ logo. i...

Also, does anyone know if it would be possible or safe to wire this amp to 0.5 ohm (definitely once they've broken in)?? The speaker is rated to 2400w max and amp rated down to 1 ohm (which I would guess is probably conservative). I've read reviews of the amp on the website with people saying...

Thanks, I talked to the guy yesterday and he measured my trunk and brought to my attention something that would obstruct the box in the back and he'd have to bring it a little bit further forward. He seemed legit. He showed me pics of several boxes he built and demonstrated his octoport 15"...

so I'm going the cheap route and I'm going to get a soundqubed hds300 bundle once their q1-1200 amps are off backorder (which I'm told should be within the next 2 weeks). I met a guy in my area that builds boxes for $100 and I'm going to trade him some of my old equipment for him to build me a...

Ok so far, this is what I've got in mind: I'd like to get a 15" soundqubed hds315 (as they're only $10 more than the 12"ers) but it was recommended that I have a 4.4-4.5 cubic feet box and that would be tough fitting in my little prelude. Unless I can figure out and find plans for a way to fit...

Alright now I know what to get for my budget. Only other thing is the box which I'll build with the plans in the link below. My only question is what does the 2.35@34hz mean? I'm guessing the first number is cubic feet but not really sure about the second? I assume u want to max the cubic...

Wow I looked into it and the soundqubed looks to be exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks so much! I measured the space I'd like to work with in the back of the trunk it's about 38" wide, 14" tall and 28" deep (So a 15 is out but maybe 2 12s, although I'd prefer one big sub). Another option is to...

So tuning means to adjust the settings on the amp to get the best sound for your box? Do you need a tuner or should I get an expert to help me with that or just go with what sound is best to my ears?

So stock electrical means no extra car battery right? Is 1000 watts max or rms the limit on that? I was thinking a custom box would be fiberglass but they're wood? If that's the deal I probably would get someone to cut it and screw it and cover it myself. I'll post dimensions on the trunk later...

Wow thanks for all the replies. I'm thinking that my budget will be about $500. Hopefully I can get good deals on used equipment that will last awhile and hold their value. Just to be clear is excursion what makes the lows low and move a lot of air? How much does it cost for a custom ported box...

So I need some advice on what w our be best in my situation. I don't really have the room for a dual sub setup in my Honda prelude So I think my best bet would be a 12 or 15 inch single. I want something that can really crush though. I've found jlw6 12, Memphis mojo 15, kicker l7 15 all on...

Dude that sounds tempting but also expensive and time consuming. At what point will you need an extra battery to power it? Looking for something simple and economical. But if you say that the best way to step up is a new box what type would you recommend? What type of amp and how many watts to...

Ok so I looked on the alpine sub and it does have two sets of connects so I'm assuming that means it's dual 2 ohms. The way it was previously installed was only utilizing one set of connectors. So I will get the most bang with the soundstream bridged mono @1ohm over any other setup with the 2...

Thanks a lot! The Kenwood amp is kac-620 I'm not really sure what you mean by voice coil configuration but I can try to figure that out when I'm not at work. So because my amps are both pretty low wattage would you recommend hooking both amps up to the single alpine type r 12 or the 2 pioneer...

So I have some audio equipment lying around that I got for free and I'm wanting to hook something up again in my car that will provide the most umph. I previously had 1 very old generation 12" alpine type R in a single box powered by a really old soundstream reference class A 5.0 amp that I...
