Hey fellas, I'm gonna be building a vented box for the pioneer ts w3002d2 subs and I have some questions. Per Pioneer's manual, the best SQ ported box is 1.6cuft (gross) with a slot port of 13" H x .54" W and only 2.5" deep (converted from the round port of 3" x 2.5"). Now I know this sub is...

well, the 2awg DB link kit is almost the same price as the phoenix gold 4awg kit (on ebay), so i guess i'll just go with the DB cuz i know it's good stuff..thnx

I'm gonna puttin the phoenix gold 1200.1 in my new sonata. it'll get between 1,000 and 1,300 rms (especially after the big 3). I know a quality 4 awg wiring kit is typical for this, but they all seem to come with 16awg speaker wire...and that seems a bit small to me. I was thinking 12 would be...

ahh..how i did love my JVC digifine 2.1...until she was stolen...along with my amp...now i've got a new car ('06 sonata) and i'm startin all over. I'm goin with everthing phoenix gold- from the radial line in particular...subs, amp, 6*9's, 6.5's...cant seem to find a cd player from those guys...

it's possible you'd gain a small bit more power from the 545 since the kicker is gonna be rated a lil lower at 12v. even if those specs are rock solid, yer prolly lookin at a 20 watt difference at best.

good choice on the kicker...the rms on that is 400 so the 600 @ 2ohms the alpine pushes out will be more than enuff and it is a more efficient amp on the power draw. a ported box will give you a lil more bang but also compromise SQ and frequency response. so i still think u should go with a...

galante's right about the jl500/1 being your best bet...but between those two, i'd go with the orion

alpine all the way, for pure wattage and SQ. ive never heard the torrent, but i know you can still get **** good SQ from the kicker if it's housed correctly. contact kicker and ask what the optimal SEALED enclosure volume is for it (not the minimum you can get away with that they print)

feel alot better about what to do now...thnx fer the help fellas

well, that was one long and detailed artical...lucking for me i was able to comprehend. so i guess im thinking a second battery will be in order. I'm gonna be running aroung 1,000 rms and i think the amp takes two 40 amp fuses. So should i just go with an 80 amp altenator (i think my new car...

I've read a few responses on here saying that capicitors are not the way to go. Given, i've never actually used one, but I was intending on wiring one into the system in putting together now (im tired of being short on pwer supply). I've had a couple of friends that used them (one a competion...

wow...that's alot of power you need...i gonna suggest you look into at least a 2 farad capacitor or audio system battery along the way. anyways, i found 2 goodens for ya. the first is the kicker zx1500.1- it'll give you at least 1,500rms @2ohms. it's a $1,000 amp you can find on ebay for $370...

yes, unfortunately, the almighty bottom line typically makes that the case. They decide that its yer responsibility to test both channels for dc current before hooking any subs up to it, although that is a lil bogus.

thnx guys

I'm gettin a couple of Poenix gold rsd12's (350rms each). The final listen guy at PG suggested a 1.8 cu. sealed box (per chamber of course), so thats what they'll be sittin in. The only question now is which amp i wanna go with. these are the single vc 4 ohm models, so i'll be running them at...
