I traded everything i had about 6 months ago, well, guy gave me good deal on getting all back and some new stuff he just bought. Anyway its 2 BL 18s, and 2 sundown 1500ds strapped. I had subs up, port back, 20 cubes before port and subs tuned to 33hz. It sounded great and definitely had the lows. box before was this: then i had new design done for wall behind front seats, same tuning, and specs, both boxes with 200+ square inches of port, wall box: Both boxes designed by chris at fishercustoms. I never use backseat anyway, but not sure if will make big difference as in louder if i go with a wall. any suggestions? or just go back how it was?

Its not a whole lot of work, so really dont want to wait on the 4500. I have everything except amps and subs, and starting box over next week or so. Truck already has 2 runs of 1/0 gauge, 1 of the D3100 batteries (gotta get other one), stinger roadkill all over. Anyway, decided to go a different route on subs and amps. Should have all in 2 weeks

I sold my bl 18's and both my sundown saz-1500ds and thought I was getting out of audio for a while. But, that didnt last long. I have plenty of room, 98 expedition. I want at least what i had, would like more. I pretty sure leaning to gettin 4 BL 18s this time and walling right behind front seats. i already deadened whole truck, got all wire still in truck. Would 2 Saz-2000d's be enough for 4 18s or 2 audioque 2200d's? I know thats only 1000-1100 watts per sub, but I really dont want to run 4 amps like 4 1500d's. If I could find 1 big amp that would be good for all 4 I will do that. Any suggestions or just go with 1 of the 2 amps above?

I bought 2 IDMAX 10" D4's CHEAP, was putting one in the wifes car and selling other but she wants to wait on her stereo. So I am putting both in my expedition. I have never had any ID subs and these are only ones I have heard. I listen to mostly Rock, metal, some country. I have read to do sealed mostly and some say ported. I was either going to run a sundown 1000 or alpine pdx 1000. Any suggestions on these? thanks

i know sundown is what everyone will pick here, i agree. I just sold both my sundown saz-1500d's. I thought about the alpine because i already have an alpine 4 channel. I was wondering if 500 watts each is enough for these to sound decent. Im not looking for super loud, thats why I got rid of my BL 18s

my box in my expedition is subs up port back, bl 18's tuned to 33hz with about 206 square inches of port. Sounds real good like that too

I am running 2 FI BL 18's in about 15.5 cubes after sub and port tuned to 32hz. It sounds awesome for daily and really picks up the lows. I have about 200 square inches of port also. I did 147.3 db on TL first time, then a 152.4 on an audiocontrol meter saturday. Now, I was told I should make my box around 10 cubes after sub and port and tune to 35 or 36hz and it would probably meter better and still pick up the lows. Does this sound right or do you have any suggestions? Oh yeah, I am running 2 sundown audio saz-1500d's strapped on them now. Would it matter with a slot port or are aero's better? thanks for any help

I had decided to go with another set of 18s and swap amps too. But, I really would like to get alot of my room back. So, I will sale my bl 18's and keep both sundown saz 1500d's. I would like to change to either 2 12" nightshades or 1 12 or 15" with both amps strapped on 1. I have 20 cube box now, so anything smaller I will get alot of room back. Any suggestions on those above or possibly Z15?

thanks for replies, I wil keep that in mind. Still not quite sure what I am getting, guy didnt come thru yet that wants my subs.

i didnt know how they would sound with 1500 rms on each. I read mostly people putting a 3000d on each.

I built box for audioque hdc315 tuned to 40hz and it sounded perfect, and being tuned that high it still picked up the lows great. I also built one for 2 hdc312's in a blazer tuned to 38hz and it was same, very good

Why dont you just try the 2 Bl 18's and then later add if not happy. I am running 2 BL 18's with 2 sundown 1500's and its plenty loud for daily driver. And about the weight, its alot more than you think. I have 4x4 expedition and back of my truck was 2 inches lower than front after putting stereo in. Getting the daystar 2" coil spring lift for back now.

Yeah, I just called guy back about T3 and he told me that he couldnt get any right now. I called another shop he told me to call in alabama and same thing. Looks like I am going to wait on the FI's unless I get everything else done faster than I thought then I will decide

Ok, i am selling my bl 18's here locally over next week or so. Should I wait for the 22" FI subs or go ahead and try the IA DP 21"? Thing is I really dont want to wait awhile before gettin new subs

lol. I was. I heard a set of T3 audio 18's last week, and called place today about them. But never did hear about prices so I just forgot about them. But, I just checked voicemail and had message about those, so will find out tomorrow. Thing is, if I sell the 18's, I really wanted something bigger

I may just go ahead and buy some T3 audio 18's

i am not in huge rush, i just dont want to wait 6 months for new subs.

thanks derrick. I guess I will stick with what I have unless I can sell my subs. Then I may do some changes

Ok, I have 2 FI BL 18's, D2 ohm now with 2 sundown 1500d's strapped. I still have stock alternator battery up front and powermaster d3100 in back. I am getting another 3100 and missinglink module, and think it comes set at 14.4-15.2v. Now I want to add another 18". Should I run both my 1500d's strapped on the 3 which is 1.3 ohms I believe, or sell them and run 1 saz-3500d?

i was told by couple people and a guy that is sundown rep that if i kept both 1500ds and got my voltage up i would get alot more power running those 2 amps.

i just bought a short set of stinger rca's, about a foot long and split them. They just pulled apart. I have had them like that 6 or 7 months with no problems on my 2 saz-1500d's

i dont know who will have 4 22"s first, but I will be glad when they come out so I can change to 2 22"s. LOL

sundown 1500d is very good option. I am running 2 of them on 2 BL 18's for daily driver and sounds very good and LOUD

my wife has asked several times about FI shirts or whatever, because nobody else makes apparel for girls in car audio

Guy i work with has amp already, hifonics bxi2608d, the amp is rated at 2600x1@ 1 ohm. I dont think it does that much but he wants to run 1 12" or 1 15". Out of FI BTL, sundown Z-15, nightshade, or death penalty, which would work better with that power, ported, cant use no more than 5 cubes.
