wow guyz, i'm so glad that my simple question could provide such post whoring for all of you sad souls out there. From what i can tell, it just seems that the difference between the two names for the openings in the front of this type of box is that one by defination makes sense and that the...

**** ur fast...your know what i can get some plans to build one

I am still rather new on the whole car audio scene. I have some experience with doin some installs for my self and a coupla my friends. I have some knowledge about speakers/subs, HU's, wiring, but when it comes to boxes...I am totally in the dark. So any way, what is the diff between a vented...

I am trying to find a good amp for my friend. I am going to sell him a pair of spare 10 W0's and I am not sure what a good cheaper amp would be for that. He is not into any competitions so he doesn't need anything great and he really is not the greatest about picking out the flaws in the sound...

Ahh ic no it all makes sense. Thanks kicker

I have 2 Alpine 12 type R's. They are 300 RMS. I am looking at either a JBL BP600.1 amp or Kicker KX600.1. I am going to wire them for a 2 ohm load. That is so that i can get the most out of them. Also for any who knows are the power ratings for these amps based on a 12.5V battery or a 14.4V...

Does anyone know what the exact power ratings of this amp are. I know that it is 600x1@2ohms, but what does the battery input have to be?(12.5V or 14.4V). Thanks.

For all of you out there that have purchased the hex style Xlpod amp, what'd ya think about it. I'm thinking about buying the XM-DS1600P5 amp. The mono 1600watts max one. I was wondering what kind of cooling systems these things have. I've heard that they heat up quick and cut out. If they do I...

Shut the hell up. I still a newbie at this shit, and I figured i would end up using the MDF, but i have a limited, very very very limited budget. and i'd like to cut costs any where i can.

I building a box and i found a couple of other woods that are a hell of a lot cheaper than MDF and i was wondering if cutting costs by buying some fiber board or anything like that would be worth it.

I've heard that with some models that some head units require a 10 guage wire going directly to the battery. So does anyone know if i should use the stock wires and run the power through those or if I should run the 10 guage to the battery.

I'm going to get a set of Alpine Coaxial's (6.5's) and they come with crossovers. What is it that these crossovers do. Lemme know, im a newbie at this stuff.

I was planning on building my box and i found the wood to do it and all, but i wasn't sure how the constructions of a ported box would go. I any one has a suggestions i would be much appreciated. It is for 2 alpine 1221 12" type r's. Thank you. I'm new on the whole car audio scene but im looking...

I'm new at this and i was wondering how you could wire 2 Dual voice coil 2ohm alpines to a mono channel amp. I found a JBL amp that is a 600 mono at 2 ohms and i really like the amp so if you have any ideas leeme know. Also I wanted to built a ported box for it. Does anyone recomend that or...

Well i don't have a system yet, i don't even really have a car. Im only 15 1/2 and my car is still taken up by my mom's shit in the trunk (she's a traveling nurse), so i can't really get back there yet, but i am buying my components. I am looking at the CDA 7894 or 9813. The I'm set on 2 alpine...
