98 expedition. i played it hard demoing it today, and dropped to 11.8, amps never cut out. may run amps at .5 and see. Got some other ideas now, not sure what i am going to do

thanks for suggestions, i may try it. I have my stock battery up front, 1 powermaster d3100 in back and stock 130 amp alt. I plan to get another 3100 in couple weeks and will be deadening the roof hopefully by the weekend. My voltage goes from 14.4 to about 13.3 playing pretty hard, burping from a 36hz to a 40hz it dropped to about 12.5-12.8. I just read where they would not warranty them at .5, so I just decided not to try it. But, I like to hear when others have done it, and they did not have problems. To abxx, my box is tuned to 33hz, little over 19 cubes before sub and port, 15-15.3 after all displacements. I wanted it to pick up the lows good, has 200+ square inches of port

i have mine ran strapped at 2ohms. I didnt want to run them at .5 cause they are not warrantied, and plus my truck was built just for daily beating. I just went there and they had a meter so got it checked.

i am sure people have done alot more with less, but I was pretty happy with this being first big stereo I have installed and built though. thanks ssaudio

my box is a little over 15 cubes after port and sub now tuned to 33hz with 200+ square inches of port area and it picks up the lows great. Sounds really good, I was just thinking about adding another one if possible. Will post updates later

Right now I have 2 BL 18's D2 running off 2 strapped 1500ds with final load of 2 ohm. If I ran 3 D2's what would amp put out and would it be stable for daily? Or should I buy another 1500d, and just run 1 to each sub

thanks for reply. I like the way 2 sound with 2 amps, but depends how big box will be for 3. If I am going to have to wall it, I will just run 4 subs, 4 amps.

i got everything hooked up yesterday. 2 strapped 1500s on 2 bl loaded 18's. Camera is charging, will post pics later and maybe a couple videos. I liked how the 1 1500d made my bl 12 sound, but it sounds awesome with 2 strapped. May change to 2 3000d's later,

updated the pics. still need to paint port, i got in hurry and went on and put it in. Got to cut panel to flush amps and hide all the wires. Definitely the loudest stereo I have had. Glad I went ahead and got the 18s, definitely worth it. Will try to get a video up this week.

I got one last week and the other one today. I like how the first one that came in had the black basket, but not a big deal cause it wont be seen. Box build may begin tomorrow after work, but will start sunday for sure. oh yeah, they are BL 18's D2 with cooling, flatwind, universal, and daily and will be run with 2 saz-1500d's.

I completely forgot about the 2000d coming sometime, maybe 2 of those instead. anyway pics here. Still need to make flush panel for amps to hide the 10,000 wires. Also got in hurry and never painted port

when i get 3000d's i am going to change to 2 btl 18's. I left that part out.

ok, i read the tutorial on strapping 2 saz-1500ds, and know about the other wiring and to use the br out on master to br in on slave. I am ordering my other 1500d next monday, and was wondering what rca's people use for the br in and out. Its just a single rca, and i have looked around several local places and they have nothing. Could i just buy some cheap rca's and seperate them? Thanks

thanks guys

i got my box built, needs finishing braces and covering. But, now i have no place for my amps. I have searched and read couple post that say it is ok, and some that say it is not. If I just double the sides of the box and mount my amps on the side, will they be ok? I have enough room if I mount my 1500d's end to end and then my 100.4 on the other side. I can mount them on my back seat, but the seat wont be able to fold up. Pic of where box sits now:

will finish 45's tomorrow and put some resin in it, doesnt look too bad, for my 2nd ported box and maybe i put enough screws in the double baffle, LOL

its not the lighting, the one with the silver basket has a shiny cone on it. I got the box built today, only thing left is put the 45's in the corners, and decide what i am going to cover it with. It turned out ok, well ok for using a skill saw (man i need a table saw). LOL. Will post pics when they are uploaded. It looks huge in expedition. Just got to order other 1500d and figure out where i am mounting everything.

anybody listen to Hellyeah, songs "thank you" and "alcoholin ass", both are pretty good

i edited before i saw your post, they are 18"s

does anybody know what size kinetik or powermaster will fit under hood of expedition? I am going to run either powermaster 3100 or couple kinetik 2000s in back, but expedition has side post in front, and not much clearance for hood.

i searched a few sites but have not seen a powermaster d3400. do you have a link

I went ahead and ordered my other BL 18 just now. Got 1 sheet of mdf sunday and will get started this week on box. will post pics as i get going. very anxious to get these now. LOL

I got chris at fishercustoms.com to design me box for 2 BL 18's. Its little over 18 cubes before port and sub and around 15 after, tuned to 33hz. Port is 10.5" wide. Figured i would post up design, hopefully i will have it built next couple weeks. We been workin 7 days a week, so as soon as i get a break, will get started on it.

how much for an HO alternator for 1998 ford expedition 4.6 v8 4x4? thanks

i saw them listed on powermaster site, so i thought scott from there checked these forums some.
