I really cant decide between running 3 6.5's per door or running 3 8's per door. I think the 8's would give a more "full" sound with better midbass. Im still considering running all Crescendo front stage since I have 2 8's in the garage and also have 2 tweeters already. I also already have 2 Rockford 6.5's. So I'm torn which way to go 3 - 8in Crescendo PWX's and 2 FT1 super tweeters per door. or 3 - 6.5in Rockford Punch Pro and 2 PP8-T super tweeters per door. I could do 2 mids and 1 tweeter per door but not sure if it will keep up at 155db+ of bass and I only want to do the doors once. Crescendo's are very heavy, large magnet, 4in deep and the FT1's are relatively small and can be reconed easily. Rockfords are not as heavy and 3in deep but the tweeters are fuckin HUGE. I need to order something soon though. I'm ready to get this going. If I do the doors they will receive a sealed enclosed pod that will be mounted to the door, If I pay someone else to fiberglass a door panel then from what I have seen the panels will be done and the mids will somewhat free air into the door. Power comes from a Crescendo C1100.4 Dont know why I cant seem to make my mind up.

Thanks, how do I check if the speakers are 2 or 4 ohm? Look at the back of them. Those will say 4ohm or 8ohm. I dont even know if Alpine sells the Type R's in 8ohm honestly. The sub is a D2 and would work good wth the Rockford amp wired at 1ohm

Just bought my brother this for Christmas. Great deal right now too. Has alot of options and even has high and low pass filters. 4v PreOuts too http://www.sonicelec...EH-X7500HD.html

no need for 2 threads. I answered the other.

If you only want what is listed I would go for both Rockford amps personally. They do good rated power and will last. That 4 channel will work but the speakers you have I'm sure are 4ohm so ideally something that does 100 x 4 @4ohms is what you will want. (T600.4)

No because I don't think they would get loud enough, they hold good power but they would need to with a sensitivity of 93db. I am going to hook up and listen to the horns, If I can't live without them I may try to do something but if not I will be going back to super tweeters.

Well, after spending alot of time trying to figure how to mount these horns I just dont see it happening. Atleast not the proper way. I do have room for them, the problems are. I cant get the drivers side horn all the way to the left. The hood latch and park brake release are in the way. I can relocate one but not both. This side also would be higher than the pass side because of the pedals. I have been reading that they need to be all the way to the outside and the same exact height. This will be almost impossible. I am creative and decent at fabbing up things but this seems like something that will require more than I am willing to do to my truck. So unless I have a light bulb go off in my head or just drop the truck off somewhere and hand someone some money and say make it happen it looks like I will have some horns for sale.

hmmm, interesting. The fasle floor is not bolted down at all but the box is. Just for safe measures I can use acrylic / plexiglass blocks to raise the bars instead of wood blocks. I have seen my method many times at meets but will take the advise and use something different. Thanks

Really wanted to get this done over the weekend but ran out of 2/0 last night at 10pm. I guess 125ft wasnt nearly enough. Gonna pick up another 75ft and hopefully that will do it. Put in new KnuKonceptz Krystal RCA's, made a new amp tray cause the old was worn from all the changing up thing. Got the Battery tray built, batteries mounted and as much wire run as possible. The fuse blocks will be very functional for Meca but will also have a small copper block to bridge if running Usaci. Once the wall is playing I can focus on the doors. The ID horns motors are way bigger than I thought. Im gonna have to get creative mounting those under dash. All new 10ga in box Tray built and mounted in tool box Sound Deadner for a grommet works like a champ, lol 2.5in holes now in my truck Batteries in and charger permanently mounted, I will run a extension cord to truck when needed. I have alot more wire to run but you get the idea Now for the UGLY, inside back door, I will make this pretty once I get a mock up done, only because I will be opening this door at Meca meets to change fusing. If it wasnt for that the back doors would stay shut and locked. LOL Thats all for now. Better pics of amps, subs and other shit will come later.

Playing the low notes and doing it with authority are two different things. If you want to play all notes then sealed is fine. If you want to really hammer out those low notes then I would do a ported enclosure on the larger side tuned around 28. Just dont go overboard on port area to keep from unloading easily. Downside is the 40+ will suffer somewhat in output.

Sounds like a good plan Chuck, Should get loud

Unfortunately it's very common to get very little response from them. You will receive your sub, just don't expect some great customer service experience.

I'm assuming you are referring to me since I am the only one that mentioned your comment. I don't think you were directing anything at me or my children, the notion of that makes no sense. A entire kindergarten class was murdered, if someone has any class at all then this would be the thread to show it in. Some people just think differently I guess.

Maybe I missed something but what part of the title is even remotely funny? Being a father of 2 girls and one of them being in Kindergarden its honestly hard to even watch the reports on TV without becoming emotional. Everytime I see it I just want to hold my little girl and keep her at home.

Sundown SD series is well suited for a sealed enclosure.

What kinda numbers does it do? Looks loud

It is painted, lol Patina Blue painted to look old. Its a clean truck. Full redone vintage a/c in it that will run you out of it. Not sure what the stock alt does, but the new battery should be fine. Remember, he just wants good sounds, He wont be "bangin" lol. I think the JL C5's would sound alot better than the Alpines but may not be noticeable.

Ended up ordering a shop pack of Damplifier Pro and 4 large sheets of Luxury Liner. Figured a large side of the budget was better spent making sure you can actually hear what equipment I am putting in it. Think I have decided on a single Sundown SD 12, with a depth of on 5.5in thats perfect. The front components may not be critical because they will be in the kicks and in sealed pods. My go with Alpine Type R's to fit in budget. The motors are Neo and very small. Or maybe the JL C5 series. I really want to keep budget on the components down to 300 or so now.

To save depth I will be going with the Sundown SD series. Good luck with sale... This is a awesome deal on subs that would take 2-4 weeks to get normally. These should sell fast!

DAYUM!!! Those are beast mode!!!

Anyone heard these? Kinda pricey. ID XS-65 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_22201_Image-Dynamics-XS-65.html Really like how shallow these are. Not sure how the sound, generally JL does sound good. C3-650's http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_24221_JL-Audio-C3-650.html

This is great, how far are you from complete? Drop subs in and test or do you still have things to finish?

I have been running this amp since it was new. It is really strong and one of the cleanest 4 channel amps I have heard by far. I will regret selling this I'm sure because the footprint is so small it will fit anywhere. 4-channel car amplifier 150 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (150 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms) 300 watts RMS x 2 in bridged mode (4-ohm stable in bridged mode) variable high- and low-pass filters (30-400 Hz, 12 dB/octave) Class-D amplifier design stackable installation design with front-panel controls quick-connect speaker connectors preamp-level inputs MOSFET power and output stages CEA-2006 compliant fuse rating: 30A x 2 4-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier 10-3/16"W x 2-1/2"H x 8-7/8"D 250.00 shipped, FIRM in the US. No trades

Great numbers!!

Thanks!! Looking forward to this. Now I just need to shop mids. I may go with 8's and use my Crescendo's from 80 - 1.6k until I buy what I want. I don't want to rush and cheap out on mids, unless I need to be running a 10in driver to keep up with the horns. I have room either way since no tweeter will go in the door now.
