    Capacitor - Need a recommendation.

    You don't think the Optima Yellow top is sufficient? Due to the intake design I can't run a battery up front, and I don't want two batteries in the trunk. Wouldn't a good cap help me stay above the battery voltage (~12.2ish) and / or smooth the fluxuations?

    Capacitor - Need a recommendation.

    Just to give you the background on this.... this is for a Nissan R32 Skyline GT-R, lots of mods, stock 80amp alt, Optima yellow top remote mounted in the trunk, everything is well connected and grounded. No stereo in the car. I want to smooth out the running voltage and am thinking about...

    Looking SWF Box Builder in Cali

    Thats a great price! The reason for not doing sub up is that there is not enough space on the top plane for an 18" sub. I am into diving and other crap so I need as much space in the trunk (behind the box) as possible. Not having the sub up will allow me to stack stuff on top if I go camping...

    Looking SWF Box Builder in Cali

    Here is the back of my van: I am here is a basic outline of the box: The length of 37" and height of 36" are the max for those dimensions, they can be adjusted down if needed. The other dimensions are flexible. I forsee the sub facing the rear of the van - as protrayed by the "O". The...

    Pick my Amp: Sundown VS. Hifonics

    Okay here is a detailed listing of what I have: 1) One 18" DC Audio Level 4XL D2, 2) a van. My next purchase is an amp and I have this narrowed down to two particular amps. The Sundown SAZ-1000 and the Hifonics Brutus BXI2010D. Both are rated to run 1ohm. The Sundown is underrated at 1000watts...

    Port tuning on a 18" DC Level 4XL

    ^^Thats very encouraging to hear. It means a lot and I am looking forward to seeing what this can do. Just two hypothetical boxes, the outter dimensions would be similar: one is 5cuft tuned for 28hz, and the other is 7.5 tuned for 32hz. How much different would they sound? I realize that...

    Port tuning on a 18" DC Level 4XL

    I am looking for suggestions on port tuning (recommended Hz) for a 18" DC Level 4XL D2 pushed by a US Amps Merlin MD2D 1500W@1ohm. This will be going in the back of my family van and I have about 6-7cubes (maybe 8cu if I am willing to give up more trunk space) to work with. This will never be...

    Weight of the SoundStream XXX 4hp motor?

    Okay I know it isn't a real 4hp motor but supposedly the dimensions are pretty close. Can anyone tell me the weight of the 4hp motor or the XXX motor? I need one to fit in a USPS flat rate box with a 70lb limit.

    WTB: HUGE 15" or 18" *prefer blown*

    I am wanting something even bigger and I have the budget for something really big. This is not a knock in any way on your sub - $100 shipped is freakin unreal and whoever buys it is getting an absolute steal.
