Ok.. 4 18" Nightshades, and 2 SAZ 4500s in a Durango.. Advice?

8 2400s should be overkill depends on how much power for mids and highs

 

[benzmansl65amg 10+ year member]

they say the numbers corresponds to watts. So HC 2400 is good for 2400 wrms and 2 HC1800's is good for 3600 wrms ect is what i always thought.

Hmmm alright.. well for mids and highs he hasnt even talked about really.. but probably something to keep up somewhat well with the low end I would assume. But for the box, any recommendations on size, port size, etc? I had planned on using just the rear end of the truck but now with taking out the seats opens up a whole new world to build with..

Well I run 2 18" v2 nightshades on 2-4500's strapped@ 2 ohm and have a dcpower sp270 and 7 deka 9A31's and I can sit at idle and play full tilt with no drop very solid setup right there would he be willing to save some money and use factory second dekas.or are you making money off of the kinetiks.

I will probably mark up the price on whatever batteries I decide on.. Do the Nightshades handle the 4500s on each sub? I thought it might be slightly too much for daily.. watching it or not..

well they are doing fine i havent really poured it to them for an extended amount of time yet but will once they are fully broken in i can say they really move some air.I do 151.2 with that setup but a single 4500@.5 sounded pretty close to as loud as it is now.

Ahh forgot that.. Weve got from the front seats to the back hatch.. but he wants to do a firing up and port back type design, instead of a wall.. Might not be the best choice, but I have to work with the customers layout for the most part. So trying to work with what Ive got

Waste of time.......

Hmm.. well I was gonna run a 4500 to each pair.. Wonder if itll be good enough..

I would do Second Skin or that stuff twistedchild420 used for deadner. I don't like Kinetik batteries is would use Batcap or XS power. I would run a **** ton of 1/0.

Everything about this build screams big, except not committing to a wall......

I don't know. I've seen plenty of large systems with no walls that get loud.

i dont see the need for a wall honestly i dont thimk he will keep it in long as it will be silly loud.

LOL.That is funny.I do not know what he will do on a meter,but I do KNOW that he will peak at 36hz.I thought my peak would go up when the wall was in,but it did not.Great for a ground pounder that will play a variety of music.I am tuned at 38hz,and that is cool with me.

With 700 watts per sub I can do a 150 on music legal.

Nightshades do OK on less cubic feet?I like the Aero' idea,and it would help on saving a little space.Is that one guy from Wisconsin still selling those 8 inch (or 10 inch)ports?

Finally a voice of reason, lol

LOL.I try to be a reasonable kinda guy.A lot of people are going to say to tune to something stupid low like 26 hz. That is great if your music library consists of about 5 songs that sound great at 28 hz. I can play just about anything and sound good from rap,rock,country to Godsmack and everything is good.The Decaf stuff rocks in the DurangH...and he owes me for a broken mirror...LOL
