got it installed. 2.25 cu ft box, 32 hz tuned. not impressed at all. still need to mess with it more but just not impressed so far. sub has a ton of excursion and almost seems like it has potential but just doesnt deliver. powering it with a audiopipe 1500d. at this point not sure of what sounded better, my 15" Q in a 3.3cu ft @ 33hz or this one. think this one flexes my vehicle more, i can see windshield wipers bouncin a little. ill get some pics either today or tomorrow maybe a video. starting to wonder if Ill ever be happy with a system in this damn truck. probably the 5th system ive done in here and none have impressed me. really irritating. I aced it with my tahoe if i had to say so myself, but this truck is again a pain in my ass lol.

damn i like that! will be clean for sure

flex is one of the only ways to show how powerful a system is on youtube. besides that it is kinda useless. good video and you did explain yourself just fine in the video.

as long as it supports the weight of whats on top of it i dont see the problem.

im tuned in also, love builds in suv's. so much room to do whatever is needed.

hell yea. nice video's. subscribed

First db drag/meca show ive ever been to. very impressed. Gary Killian's ride is a beast and so was the majority of people out there. and i thought i have a strong system lol. glad i didnt enter. 1 18" btl wouldnt have hung out there for damn sure.

anyone have any idea what time this event starts? ive looked everywhere. doors open at 10am, just unsure of when I can catch the car's competing. would like to make sure i dont get there too late.

wish more people would do test's like this. just purchased a Treo SSX and would of loved to see a good review on it before i bought it.

another prefab box fail. get in touch with a box designer on here and build it yourself. should be able to get the most out of those subs that route.

do with d2 for that sub, not d1. dual 2 can be wired down to 1 ohm, a dual 1 cannot

you hit up one of those tire shops on charter way they sure are cheap lol.

im 6'1 . about 3.3ish cubes and a single 15 has me wayy to far forward (sub FORWARD not up) no tilt wheel either so that hurts me also.

Welcome, alot of bay area people showin up lately. Hope to see some Stockton people here someday.

alot of room if your a little guy.

i love seeing pics of system's in s10's. for the longest time i couldn't find anything to gether idea's from. yours looks good also, i think next week ill get started on mine..again.. was wondering where i could fit a battery at and after seeing your pics ill remove the little folding seat in the back. perfect spot.

the lowes around here cant cut worth a shit.

So you have 2 15" icons, but you havent decided on which subs yet.. but you want a 1 ohm stable amp. unsure of what coils to get the subs in for your amp to see ~1ohm. hope i got that right.. if your going to run 2 subs get dual 1 ohm coils on BOTH. if its just 1 sub then get dual 2 ohm coils. Im not familiar with that vehicle's space, maybe you should provide some dimensions you have to work with so people can give you some options, also explain what your goal is for this system so you can pick the right sub(s). I sure there is other people in here who have done system's in those vehicles that can be more help.

as long as your happy then you did it right. good job on your first build.

yea i got mine yesterday, decent little amp, package came busted to shit and the plexi bottom was caved in a little bit, but no biggie i guess. not going to showcase this amp anyways

OP, give this a read.. not sure that box will fit your goals too well. http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxes6.asp

ive used a 12" Q and a 15" Q. I think they are very clean sounding, as for spl not so wonderful. I have never heard a W7, heard 2 w6's and hated em. No experience with a BL or a '6th order bandpass box'. I think you should be trying to find out how the 2 will perform in your specific enclosure. Maybe one of the more advanced users can chime in on 6th order boxes. maybe a 6th order doesnt fit your goals? Ive also never heard a single complaint about an Xcon. i cant think of any complaints on the BL either as far as SQ goes, but then again most people who buy the BL aren't chasing SQ either.

Gotta disagree there deto.. ive had a ton of systems in the past.. mostly kicker or some off the shelf bs. never really ran a ported enclosure before, for damn sure no extra battery's/ ho alts.. my first system i did that i took seriously used a gen 2 BTL... Still love it everyday I hear it. If you plan well and research what it is your going to do then a BTL will be great. I didnt really have the money when i started building my tahoe but i was set on a BTL also (thank youtube for that). But i did my homework, saved up the money needed to do it right. collected all the equipment needed then installed it. Never be afraid to ask questions, just provide people with the info they need to guide you. If you want an extreme amount of bass and your stuck on a BTL then go for it man, just do it right or just dont bother.

cant see it even mattering unless your competing. As far as i know audiopipe's put out what they are rated for. as for more i dont know.
