Definately looking forward to some videos.

Ghosts of Mars. Good story...horrible effects and acting.

I'm in the Topeka area. A bit of a drive to KC.

Yeah, I'm going to be very anal about my settings this time.

I've done quite a few installs in the past, but they've always been on older vehicles. I now have a 2008, and I honestly don't trust myself to install an LOC and amp. I contacted two shops that I've done business with in the past, and both quoted me at $65 for the install. Now I need to decide which one to go with. What would be the best way to pick one? I've seen work done by both and they both do a very good job. One of them is a member of the BBB and has an A+ rating. The other is not a member and has one complaint against it in the last 36 months, which was administratively closed (BBB said that the shop made an offer to repair, but the customer did not accept the offer). Should I just go in and talk with them and go with the one that gives me the best "vibe"? It's been years since I've been to either one, but there is one that I'm leaning towards.

It wasn't really irresponsible use, just overuse. Irresponsible use would be not making payments or constantly making late payments, neither of which we have ever done.

Yeah, the BBB website said that the shop tried to resolve the problem, but the customer didn't want them to. I've also read several online reviews of the shop, and they have all been good. One even stated that there was a problem and the shop fixed it at no charge.

x2. Ours will finally be paid off this spring, after about 10 years of trying to get it paid off. Never again. Like everyone already said, save and then buy. You'll feel better in the end knowing that the stuff is yours and you don't owe anyone for it.

Prayers sent.

Yeah, maybe I should have just stuck with my original plan and saved my money for some IA's or DC's. I'll go with his recommendation and call it good.

I really don't have the time right now to build a box for my sub. I've been in contact with three local shops that I've done business with before, and here are the options they gave me. Two of them have pre-made ported boxes (I know, I know) for $70. One of them can do a custom box for $125 and another one can do one for $150. I have a sealed box that I was going to use for the time being. I could get the pre-fab box within the next month or so. Otherwise I'd probably need to wait until sometime this spring to get one custom built. So, would it just be better to run my sub sealed for now and wait a little longer for a custom box? I didn't think that $125 or $150 was that bad of a price, but I don't have much experience with buying custom boxes.

Thanks. I found them on his for sale thread, but that was for his original single 4 ohm sub. The reason I went with this sub was because it fell in my budget at the time and he said that it would work well with the power and enclosure that I currently have. Sorry for sounding so dumb. I'm still trying to learn.

Edit: Found them, but mine has dual 1 ohm coils. Not sure how much that affects these numbers. Znon [ohm] 4.000 Revc [ohm] 6.700 BL [TM] 20.818 Vas [Liters] 39.325 Cms [uM/N] 254.297 Mms [grams] 113.168 Fi [Hz] 29.226 Fo [Hz] 29.668 Qms 6.778 Qes 0.3260 Qts .3200. SPL [dB] 87.370 xmx[mm] 9.35

He didn't give me the T/S parameters. I just asked for recommended enclosure sizes and RMS rating. It was built by ssackett that's on here (and a few other forums).

In my signature. The guy who built my sub it said it would work fine in the sealed box I have, but I need to sand the cutout a little. It's just a tad bit too small for the basket to fit down into. I'll definately have enough money for a new box by July (birthday money), so I could get by going sealed until then. I wasn't sure if those were good prices for a custom box or not?

Thanks. Hopefully I'll get it installed in the next few months.

Oops.

My old 12" Adire Audio Shiva and my new custom built 10". My daughter in the background.

I'm trying to do a budget build for my truck and am very interested in the 10" 187's. I've got a couple of questions about them. 1) What is the actual ohm load/number of voice coils? According the IA's website, under "187 Series" it states 6 ohm, but under "Recommended Enclosures" it states dual 2 ohm. SSA's website says dual 4 ohm. 2) How much power will they actually take? I know they are rated at 300 watts, but I read a review (not sure where but I'll try and find it) that says they will easily take double their RMS. After these questions get answered I'll probably have a few more. Dan

Hi all. Another new guy here. Been lurking for a while and finally decided to introduce myself. I'm Dan from east central Kansas. I was into car audio in high school and for a few years after, but got out of it about 5 years ago. Somehow I came across ***** *****'s videos on Youtube and got bit by the bug once again. Looking to build a small system for a 2000 Dodge Dakota Ext. Cab since I've only got one payment left on it (yes!). Very intrigued by the non-mainstream brands that have come out since I've been out of the scene and I'm having a hell of a time deciding what to get. That's about it. I'm a pretty boring person. Dan

It was a joke. Chill out.

I might. Ok, so if they are dual 4 ohm, is there any way to run two of them off an MTX RFL600D at 2 ohms? I was never really good at figuring out multiple sub wiring. I'm basically trying to decide between 2 187's (I'd have to build a box) or a single LI (already have a box). Daily driver, all types of music.
