Nice Z btw! You think its better to sacrifice some net volume for more port area? In order to get 60in^2 port area and still tune to 32Hz, that will lower my net volume to 3.4ft^3. Thoughts?

Small trunk in this car: This box is 17x34x13.5

Hello All! I have 2 new XCons 12s that are in need of a box to go in the trunk of a Pontiac G6. They will be powered by a BC3500 on strong electrical. Space is the limiting factor here. The largest external dims I can use are 25x35x13.5, which is 6.8ft^3 gross. I know this is not quite...

Performing a somewhat similiar build here, I can recommend 2 things: 1. Build a template box to know the exact dimensions you need. I used some old pallets from work. 2. Look into buying welding cable from weldingsupply.com. I bought 2/0 for a great price.

I have an Alpine MRD-M1005 in perfect condition. It's a 1000w mono amp with a small footprint. I used this to power 2 Type R12's and it was a perfect match. The reason I am no longer using it is I now need a bass control knob with my stock HU. With the headunit you are choosing, this would...

Are you saying you need to disconnect both the negative & positive leads from the battery?

Can you tell me why you like the Arc audio amps over the MB's? Their power rating is about half for the same price.

Those do look like a great set of components, but I also need an amp w/in the $500. What do you think of either of these amps? MB Quartz Q4.150 (4x150rms@4ohm) ~ $200 MB Quartz ONYX4.125 (4x125@4ohms) ~ $180 Is it necessary to have 150rms for the front stage? It seems as most of the...

What LOC are you planning to use? I would strongly recommend you purchase a quality unit. I am speaking from experience here, as I tried 2 $20 units for my sub stage, and they were junk! I ended up going with an Audiocontrol L6i LOC, and I am very pleased. The unit has adjustable gain on all...

The Monsoon stereo in my 08' G6 is a decent stock system. I'm not sure what the monsoon amp is putting out, but it powers 8 speakers. It even had enough bass to blur the rv mirror at night. It's still not nearly enough, hence this thread: (shameless plug)...

Hello all! Like the title says, I have a budget of $500 to spend on a 4 channel amp and a set of front stage speakers. I'm not worried about replacing the 6x9's in the trunk lid at this time. I have 08' Pontiac G6 coupe with the monsoon 3 speaker setup in the doors. The new speakers must fit...

I just bought one of these hydraulic crimpers from Harbor Freight. Find a 20% coupon in the back of many magazines, and you have quality crimpers for $40. Hydraulic Wire Crimping Tool I also solder them once crimped for many of the reasons stated above.

The Skars have my attention right now. THe price is certainly right. Question is, will they hold up to the B2k at 1ohm if I'm really running them hard?

Do I have to contact the manufacturers directly to get pricing for DC and DD sub pricing? Would the DD 1500 or 2500 series be the right sub for the B2k? I saw MSRP of over $400 on the 2500......dang! Thanks

Hello fellas! Could you guys please give me recommendations on 2 12's to go with my new Crescendo BC2000d amp? Here's the specs on the B2K: BC2000d 2250@1ohm@13.8v 1100@2ohm 700@4ohm I am looking for SQ over SPL. Of course I want it to be loud, but not at the cost of it sounding clean...
