    Which size XS battery do I need?

    As Jonny said the Northstar are a great option as well with more sizes for you to check out. I plan on buying them instead of XS based on what I’ve read. Can’t help you with size. And no experience with Lithium either, it scares me from the horror stories I’ve read but it’s becoming more...

    Extra battery, ho alternator, or both?

    I had the same dilemma here recently because a 250A from Singer was around $450 and the Mechman 240A was like $360 with military discount. But Mike from Singer was very helpful in my emails and seemed like a good dude so plan on going with him I think. From the little bit I could find I...

    ported box for SQL 15 possible in my car?

    Playing around with Sub Box Pro a little a box that's 17" tall needs 54.20" of port area to have an equal width of 3.5". That's what I mean by playing around with the numbers a little to get equal measurements. That would equal 14.45" of port so likely a very safe bet. Also remember to add...

    ported box for SQL 15 possible in my car?

    I had a couple Fi Q 12s many years ago myself and strangely plan to buy a couple SQL-15s in the next couple months. I have been doing a lot of modeling in WinISD for what it's worth to give me a general idea of how the sub performs without cabin gain coming into the equation. I am a novice at...

    Amplifier options

    I know very little about these style amps but a couple I ran across you may want to check out are- Down4Sound 100.4 for $200. They’re bigger amps have very good reviews for budget amps and do more then rated. It does say Class D instead of AB like sundown but idk that it really matters anymore...

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    Thank You! That was just the info I was looking for in addition to slugs posts. I don’t have the box/owners manual so googled it and found out it has a subsonic filter set at 25hz and from what I could tell that is basically a HPF? Which is great since 25hz is likely about perfect anyways for...

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    Do you know of anything I can add to the system to allow me to adjust the HPF? I checked the LC2I and it doesn’t have any filters on it sadly and my factory headunit doesn’t have any settings either. I wouldn’t wanna spend much on it since I will eventually replace this amp and will use this...

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    Ok I think I have a good grasp on that now. So my Kicker amp does have a LPF which is just called crossover but it doesn’t have a HPF then? So not having a HPF won’t that hurt my sub(s) since I can’t cut the frequency off a couple hZ below tuning?

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    I’m not sure if I misunderstood you or if you got the amps mixed up. The Kicker one only has 50-200 on the crossover and no other settings for the low pass. That’s what confused me originally. Never mind, I see you posted again mentioning the Kicker amp. I was just worried the Kicker amp with...

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    Usually a turn knob on the amp where it has frequency ranges. Let me see if I can copy a couple photos here for an example. A Taramps 3k which has a separate LPF and HPF knob and the Kicker with a single knob for crossover.

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    Awesome, so the LPF isn’t needed with the crossover then? I had a hard time searching for info on this for some reason. I had the amp set at around 80hz from a temporary Xcon setup years ago and read that was usually about right but I’ll be testing it out again soon. I am not as knowledgeable...

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    Hey Slug, I loved the FI Qs as well. They were the 2nd model I believe with 28mm XMAX circa 2011. I believe they had 2-3 models after that and now I see they don’t even offer the Q specifically. I liked how they were a 1000-1500 driver which was great for daily but they kept making them more...

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    Also one other thing I may make a separate thread about. My Kicker CX1200.1 doesn’t have a LPF it just has crossover. Will this be an issue? Factory head unit with no way to adjust the filter and will be trying out a LC2I Pro for the first time if that helps? I have always used aftermarket...

    Optimal box for Icon 15”

    Hey guys, been out of Car Audio the last few years and can’t seem to login to my old account. Anyways... I had an old Xcon motor that I ordered 18” Zcon soft parts for but in the meantime I went ahead and ordered a 15” Icon as well since I didn’t wanna wait to get the system going again and can...
