Replace under hood battery with a good agm, and add at least 1 or 2 more batteries in the back, along with a quality high output alternator to be safe.

You can set the gain on the amp with whatever sub setting you want. It really doesn't make a difference (as long as the signal being sent to the amp is not clipped). You have more range if you set the gain with the subwoofer volume up, as you can attenuate it down as much as you need to. For...

No.

Impedance will depend on the component set.

With those subs mentioned, you would be best off getting a single 1 ohm stable amp and paralleling all the subs.

Comes down to personal preference. You could ask 10 different people and get 10 different responses.

My advice is if you are doing a single sub setup would be to go with a 15" or possibly an 18" depending how much space you want to give up.

If your stock alt is 100 amps, and you are planning on only running 1200 watts, 4 gauge wire will be sufficient for your big 3. It seems as though you are on a tight budget, and it will save you some money over buying 0 gauge, which won't get you any noticeable gain.

Could be a few things, one a scam site, two a typo, three not a scam/typo, but shipping will be $400.

Run the X's. They will be just fine in a properly designed box.

I'd avoid the third option personally. Out of the CT, and SQ, I would buy whatever I got a better deal on. With a 4k sub stage. I would have a hard time believing anyone could tell the difference in sound quality between the three in a blind test.

That pic is great. I'm not hung up on the design man. You asked questions, I explained my reasoning. To each their own, as long as you are happy that is the main thing. I know I am happy rocking my round subs, so to each their own. Have a great holiday weekend.

You might want to do a little research on ct sounds. In any case, good luck with the sale up, beast of an amp.

Notice that I said may limit, those are the key words. Throughout this discussion, I presented the reasons why it may. I am glad Kicker took care of the issue. I do remember hearing about a lot of issues early on with the cone failiure. My contention is that the design presents unnecessary...

You are correct, I am aware of other companies using the same design. My guess is they seen the popularity in the Kickers and imitated them at a lower cost trying get a "piece of the Kicker pie" (see what I did there), not because it is a good design. The gain in cone area also means a larger...
