[QUOTE="EpicMango, post: 7980169, member: 639134"] I thought I'd finally make a build thread for my first ever system I got which was completely recommended to me by caraudio.com forumers themselves. This build was completely focused on budget slam. No extra batteries, bigger alts, ELD bypassing, just a stock 1994 Accord with a 12v 80 amp alt. I experience a little dim on full tilt being wired at 2 ohms @ 1000 watts (WAYYY before box rise, 12 volt electrical, gain settings, pre-outs from my deck) on my Audiopipe ASPM1500 watt amp. I suspect with my 12v alt I'm getting around 600-750 watts RMS running to the sub) The box was (re)designed by ssteele18 (Who I would recommend to get a custom enclosure designed purely around your specific sub stage and needs) * 3.1 Cubes after displacement tuned at 32hz * Rockford Fosgate 4 Gauge Wiring with KnuKonceptz 12 gauge Kord Ultra Flex OFC Speaker Wire * Obsidian Audio 15 Dual 4 ohm [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/sub%20pro/001_zps54f26177.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/sub%20pro/001_zps3f516ac6.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/sub%20pro/004_zpsfbe19d02.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/sub%20pro/002_zpsbd7d8583.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/sub%20pro/003_zps52638673.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/sub%20pro/002_zpsc839a01b.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/sub%20pro/001_zpsb967983d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm165/Saad_Baig/sub%20pro/002_zpsb3822ef8.jpg[/IMG] ****.
