Thoughts?

So now that i have steady income im going to send my FI BL 18 in and get it redone into a D1 then buy another D1 BL 18 and wall it in my Chevy.. But i got to thinking the BL isnt exactly cheap imo i spent 392 on one so know im debating on what to do.. Im going to sell my amp and get a saz-3000 or 3500d and get a HO alt but i have no clue where to look.. and im not quite sure on what battery(s) to put it in the back if i need more than one? I ordered 50' of KNU 1/0 gauge so im good on the wires.

Should i sell my basically brand new 18 and get 2 different ones? Kinda lost on what to do..

Also a noob question but what is the difference in walling subs and just building a huge box? lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Wall gets you mo deebeez. its a little easier to get higher dbs and is less impressive imo. power bastards, dc alts, ohio generator, mechman are all good HO alts. Hell I would just suggest getting one on ebay or finding a used one here though. everyone has their bad stories and huge claims. Just do a bit of research adn go from there. I dont see the point in paying 4-500 for an alt unless you have four in an astrovan or something. Everyone has a fully loaded FI these days. Get some DC lvl5s or something. You could find another FI and get them both reconed by PSI and do something crazy

The point is i dont want to spend 400 on a sub and since rusty wont give me a price quote because i have a local shop that sells them but for a butt **** ton..

I was thinking maybe Nightshades or HDC3's.. I love DC but this shop butt ****s my dreams.

What is the difference from a wall though? Is it built different.. it just looks like a big box to me lol.

Walls are intended to seal off a section of a vehicle so it's air doesn't have to be compressed. You could take a van and using a wall, give it approx the same interior space as a regular cab pickup.

Ahhh it seems like it would be hard to build though.. I've only built one box but i must say it came out decently and doesnt flex at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Im looking for some 18's that will take 1500 like a champ and DC is out of the option because this local shop is geh..

Or i could just get another BL 18 and get recones like Nate said.. Any ideas on how many batt's?? i was thinking like 2 Kinetik 1800's? or is that overkill?

If you're thinking about hdc3s then id go with those. They're probably going to be cheapest and 1500 on each should get them pretty loud

I was thinking about those untill i just remembered about some malfunction some of them get.. Something breaks alot.
