2 18's in a RANGER!!!

You should have just gotten good amps to begin with, and the proper impedance subs. I would never trust any Brutus amp with .5 ohms.

We were actually going to go with just one big amp, so in that case we ordered the subs right, 2 D1's to run a 1 ohms load. However, plans changed, and we went with 2 seperate amps, so therefore we can either run them at 2 ohms or .5 ohms. If we would have ordered D2 subs, the only imp we could run them at if an amp went to each sub would be either 1 or 4 ohms. So I think either way, we made the best choice in ordering subs.

looks good in there. i love smaller pick ups with subs blasting RIGHT behind your head.

im in republic mo. let me know if you guys come to springfield, looks like a comp there the 6th. tags are expired on my truck, but i may show up to check out some setups and scores!

Sorry, but we aren't going to that one in springfield. He is however planning on going to the finals in springfield. With the way gas is, he doesn't want to make too many trips that far, since it is about 2 hours there from here. Also, this will make kind of an update: We are making another box that is 9.5 cubes after displacement, with a slotted port that is 135 sq. inches tuned to 34hz, and make a front flush mount piece that will also be a wall, so you won't be able to see anything past the box. The box alone should gains us something on the TL, and making a wall this time will make it even better. Our plan is to not carpet the box, but have the wall carpeted in some lime green carpet ( still not sure on whether to do this color of hot pink, and since we work at a carpet store we can get carpet pretty cheap). I want to hear you guys responces on what we're planning to do. We probably won't start the new box build for another couple of weeks so I'm open for opinions.

dont think i would go with pink! but it is his truck! LOL

He just wants something completely off the wall. But, since he's the only one in about a hundred miles with anything like his setup, he's pretty much covered on being the baddest/loudest system. What really ticks me off is theres a kid in town with 4 W7's in a blowthrough (the one I posted pictures of). He just replaces the 2 1000/1's with 2 Powerbass XA3000's (we'll see how long them W7's last on that kind of power) and everybody around here thinks that it's the baddest system in the entire universe just because he has 4 W7's and everybody around this area thinks that w7's rule the world. And it really makes me mad when we put in hard work to make this system ( which is still louder that the 4 W7's) and that kid spent $10,000 to get his stuff done by a stereo shop and now everyone around here thinks the 18's are weak compared to his 4 W7's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif:verymad://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif I just hate when a subs name comes into play more than the performance of the sub.

yeah, let him blow steam about his jl's till he smokes em. what's that carpet you used on that box run? what kind is it? looks good, i am fixin to maybe carpet mine soon.

 

[bigbud747 10+ year member]

The carpet we're going to use is just carpet you would put on your floor. The stuff we're wanting is a Shaw product and has about an inch and a half tall mat ( that's a tall carpet btw). And I think at our employee price we can get it at $11 a sq. yard. This is the link to the carpet we're wanting to get. It's just something fun we're doing just because we can. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

And the colors we're looking at are Sour Apple, Pink Taffy, or Bright Blue.

here's a pic of my old setup.. was doing 155's at 57hz for streetmax 1-2 last year with 4 IA 20.1's and a pc2150. those were standard Btl 15's also.

Here's What it looks like now

 

[bigbud747 10+ year member]

All I can say is WOW!!!! Is that a current picture of your truck or do you have your equipment in? I can't wait to see how much of a difference our new box makes, but man, it's going to be nothing compared to that.

 

[TeamXDMatt 10+ year member]

i'm putting 6 soundstream T5 12's in there and going to be running 4 Sundown 1500's. each amp will be running at .7 a piece. i also have 7 optima g31 yellow tops in the bed. we are still currently working on the box still. i do have to modify my seats now though the back is too tall. i am putting new seats in that has a lower back to it. the box now is framed with 2x4's and has multiple layers of mdf on the floor and top. like a rock when you hit it.

I've ran many BXis @ .5 without any issues. They seem to hold up very well. At .33, it went into protect though.....

Most amps do.... lol

this is true. I was just stating that BXi models can take .5 with proper voltage.
