our plan with 4 "15 L7s

[jchancellortool 10+ year member]

Ok, me and my brother are going to each buy 2 "15 L7s. We haven't settled on which amps yet but we will probably get one Hifonics bx1605d per sub. For now we are going to but my 2 subs in my car, and his 2 subs in his car (we both drive '98 Grand Prix's). I will probably have my box ported, tuned to 33hz, with each sub having 3 cubes of air space. When I get a new car I will either sell my Grand Prix and buy a 2nd car to use as a spl vehicle or keep my GP and use that as the spl vehicle. We plan to combine all four of our subs and amps into the one car.

Anyway, I wanted to ask how much money I should plan on having into the install, not including the main things such as the amps and subs. I know i'm going to need to buy:

wood for the box

vinyl to cover the box in

terminals

1/0 gauge wire, distro block, 4 gauge wire, and RCAs

probably 75 square feet of a sound deadener (recomendations needed)

2nd battery and isolator

Is there anything else I forgot????

Earplugs.

Lol I was thinking about the same thing, except with 2 viper 1200.1s on 4 12's

you will need about 80 bucks for some 0 gauge wiring from knukoncepts.com

Then your box your looking at about 80 at the max if you build it yourself. Now amps though man i would run off some orion 2500d's - 1 for 2 subs, = or i would do 4 1200d's whichever one you like. I think HCaafan has some deals on them - about 1200 shipped for 4 brand new 1200s

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I had planned on getting the Vipers but I can get the Hifonics for a really good price through a friend that works at a local shop.

parknlot where in NY?

If I bought a yellow top to put in my trunk, would one of those be enough for two of those amps (assuming I have a alternator that can keep up). I would like to keep the battery that I have under the hood, so I would assume I need an isolator. How big of a job would that be doing it myself?

i think youll need about two capacitors to or you will burn up your altinator you can get a pretty good one for about $80 but i wouldnt run it with out those or you will spend more money on altinators than your whole system..

id say about $150 for all the wiring and wood and crap. give or take depending on how stringant on finding deals you are. i got my 0awg fuseblock from frito for $10 shipped. i got my 0awg->4awg mini-anl distroblock for $20 shipped. i got my 0awg for free. $22 for a 4x8 of mdf. maybe $30 for some vynl and 15 for some glue. then screws, drillbits, and woodglue (i already had). maybe a dash kit and wireharness if you dont have a HU installed yet.

id say between 150 and 200 to be safe. but i would prolly only spend like 75 honestly. but i find deals //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
