I've never done a SQ set up before, the last system I had was crazy over kill bass. I'd like to do some thing for my 99 grand prix 4 door. I don't know where to start for a SQ set up. Id like to keep at around $1000 for a component set for the front, rear fill and amp. I don't know what to...

LOL, like I tell others, If you have a problem blowing subs and can't keep your hands off the gains, HIDE the D#$N gain control knob!!! EX. good location, the trunk!!! For those who have no control on the gain control!! LOL

Any one running shallow mount subs?? I'd think these would be best obvioulsy used for SQ not SPL. I'd just like to hear from someone that has some and how they have them set up. I think maybe 4 10" shallow mount subs in 1 cu. ft. or less in a plexi box would look pretty nice. I've seen most...

Do you think if I put each sub in a 1.5 cu. ft. box and send them 1200 watts rms that I'd be happy with this set up? The box would obviously be 3 cu. ft. total. I plan on having prolly Type X 6.5 components too that will have about a 100 rms going to each corner front and rear. So I think I...

I've always thought a good rule of thumb is to send a sub 1/2 the power it can handle for RMS, so should I be looking for a different amp that will send those Type X 12's more like 1500 RMS each? Thanks for the help guys I cant wait to get home from this deployment and drive a real car!!!

cotjones, did he have them in a ported box??? ive heard lots that they don't performe well in ported boxes. I havn't heard any thing bad about them in a sealed box. As far as the spiders tearing, was that due to clipping, distortion, or inproper gain control settings? I'd find it hard to tear...

Im not a big fan of Hifonics nothing really against them tho. The big plan is the back of the box will be plexi with full mirror sides and bottom in the box to show off the Type X magnets with blue lights. The subs will be facing into the back seats. Thats kind of the reason I'll prolly go...

Hey everyone I just joined and I've been folowing the site a little about the alpine type X subs. Does this sound like a good plan? I'm looking to run 2 12 inch Type X's in a SEALED box. It seems like people say they are made to best suite a sealed box NOT a ported one. Going in a 2000 Grand...

Hey everyone, I'm getting pretty hyped about going home from this deployment this month. Back home to Minnesota, its been 16 months!! I've been folowing the site a little and I'm looking forward for some advice on a system for myself when I finally get back home. To everyone back at home wish...
