Background: About four or five years ago I installed a pair of American Bass XD-10s wired to two ohms, powered by a Precision Power BK 1300.1D wired up with 4G Knu Koncepts. Relatively soon after installing, my enclosure slid across my trunk and the amp was ripped off of its mounts (two broke...

Lately (about the last three months) at lower volumes (0-12 on my Kenwood) my subs have been extremely distorted or haven't even played. Last night I completely rewired my harness, soldering it this time as apposed to the butt connectors I used during the install. It fixed a couple problems the...

Update: It doesn't do it on all songs, but is the worst on songs with bass like Rap God. Update #2 : Just did some readings with my meter. I'm getting 13.5-13.8 volts at the amp, but the impedance worries me. At the terminals I'm getting anywhere from .5 to .8 ohms, and it bounces around every...

It's been a while since I've been on here, and the exact details of my build are a bit fuzzy, but I should get them right. Anyways, I'm running two American Bass XD 10's on a ppi BK 1300.1D wired to a 1 ohm load, I believe I'm getting around 900-1000 watts out of it because I simply didn't have...

How much space would I be looking at for two tantric HD 15's? Could I squeeze them into a 5 cube enclosure, or would they suffocate?

I will up my power no matter what, it just depends on the setup I choose. Either an amp that does 1500 @2 ohms, or one that does 1500 @1 for a D1 15, or 4 of the 10's, but that's a bit of a stretch. I'm just not really sure what's the best option. Will a high level 15 be a noticeable difference...

I'd be looking at 4 ideally but I believe I could squeeze 5 and still have the room i need, but i have to measure. If I were to go with 5 cubes I'd try to find 15's that like smaller enclosures or possibly 4 XFL 10's or a similarly powerful 10 but to be honest that'd destroy the bank to afford...

I was thinking the larger the coils and motors, the more xmax and therefore the more air moved. And it's true what you said about my electrical, I'm looking at an ho alt w/ 0 gauge wiring and big 3, probably a duralast plat under the hood and maybe a small battery in the back if the need arose...

I feel like it's time to plan my next build to get louder and push more air, and i have a few ideas. The first is adding a third xd-10 to the two i already have, and running them @1500w at 2.something ohms. This is kinda what i'm leaning towards but the two I currently have are pretty beat up...

I'm sorry man, but it sounds like he ripped you off... You could've worked with a builder on here and gotten a much better box for less money. But saying thats all useless, heres a couple builders i know offhand on here and from what i've seen they do really good work. @Buck ...

Building a setup for my friend and narrowed it down between two budget amps, the pioneer gm-d9601 (about 1200w @1 ohm) vs the brutus 1100.1 I'm thinking the pioneer will have slightly cleaner power but i'm not too sure. Amp has to be under $180 and he's not really interested in used, also no...

Jvc is yucky. Haha jk, kenwood is a jvc brand, and my hu has excellent sq. you should be fine

More cone area=more air moved=louder. My 2 10's were $200 shipped to my door and trumpet gave me a great deal on a 1300w amp. I keep the gains set to about 1000-1100 watts, and my sunroof bounces and I can feel air rush past my head. I drive a jeep gc, but listen mostly to rap. Feels good to...

Like trumpet said, the type of sound depends on the box. Also quickness won't really matter unless you listen to metal, in which case you'd wanna go sealed. What kind of music do you listen to?
