Wait, the AP15001D will do .5 stable? hmmm, I might have to pick up another T5 and try this out...

lrn2pirate Bittorrent ftw. Though I do occasionally buy some stuff on iTunes just to throw them off lol

That's what my Type-R was, and it was pretty loud, but that's ALL it was. It didn't sound very good at all. edit: oh come on, 150 views and only 2 votes? You don't have to post to vote, people!

mmkay, I'll consider myself educated on that one. So between a bandpass 3512, ported 3512, ported SA-8's, or ported 1508's, which would you recommend?

Quarter-wave T-line, my bad and his was in a Ford Focus sedan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xN0qd6LZsI The Alpine just sort of went "brrrr brr brrrrrrr" and there wasn't really an attack/beginning to the note like i've heard most other subs do. It wasn't very tight, and forget about double bass. It just came out as one sort of half hearted blur of sound. (note the past tense, sold it about an hour ago on CL) It was an Alpine spec box (read: really tiny) I made myself, about 1.3 cubes iirc. Thanks for the suggestions. There's a guy on PBNation with a 3512D motor and basket he's be willing to get rid of for pretty cheap. He had said 150 before, but he mentioned that he got something else cheap recently, so he was willing to come down on the 3512. I need to see what he wants now. DD quoted me 80 bucks for a 3512 d2 recone. I think i'm going to just sit on the decision for a week or so, and see what I like then.

I'm trying to get rid of my Type-R because it just doesn't sound that great. I've been going back and forth for the last few weeks with what I want to get. I've had a crush on the SA-8's since they came out, and I want to do two of them in either a great ported enclosure or a t-line. A couple months ago I got the bug for a 3512, which I would do either bandpassed or ported. A few days ago, a guy on PBNation got a pair of 1508's, put them in a t-line, and posted some videos, so I got hooked on that. For the last few days, i've been debating among myself which one I want. These would be powered by an AP15001D, so 1500W @ 1 Ohm. I've got a 98 malibu, and I never drag stuff around, so trunk space isn't really an issue for the T-lines. I guess i'm looking for something that will give me decent enough SQ when I turn the volume down, but get loud without getting ridiculous and out of control like my Type-R seems to do. The R just isn't really giving me SQ in any capacity, haha If y'all wanna pitch in which enclosure you would recommend, too, that would be greatly helpful.

no, it will split that 3500 between the two subs.

nah unless there's some sort of circuitry in there, electrons are gonna go wherever they damn well wanna. on the fuses, i'd always seen the conventional wisdom be "match the amps' fuses, or 10a over that" but yeah the 150 will be fine.

To me it sounds like it would work. It's basically doing the same thing, just using a single wire.

If they steal the wheels, you're out wheels; if they break in to steal your audio, you're out 3 subs, wiring, amps, batteries, probably head unit, and a rear windshield, depending on how thorough they are. If I had a hatchback, I'd make it stealth-ish too.

dude, don't do this to yourself. I know high schoolers (i'm only 19), and they will straight up steal your shit. And if they don't, someone else will. You've gotta learn to beat responsibly. No parking lots, street lights, neighborhoods, etc. I'm not saying don't use your stereo, but you've gotta make sure you're not attracting attention to yourself at inopportune times, such as when your car is going to be alone for long periods of time (home, school, work). Sure, I'm a dick when i'm in Dallas, because so are they, but when i'm around my home town, I make sure that nobody looks at me more than they need to be looking at me. but yeah, you might wanna check the Amp, turn it up with a song you know will shut it off, then watch the amp and see if it goes into protect or turns off. I don't know Sundown amps, but i'm sure there's a light for both of those. Digging the setup, i'd hate to see it in a pawn shop like a friend of mine's probably is right now.

Fuses are for the weak. Real men can sense the fire about to start and then put it out with their faces.

yeah but this is all going to have to be on a stock alternator, what do you think I am, made of money?

oh hell yeah, Steve Meade is my idol. I want 4 pairs of T2's in each door, and some custom 4" mids on my A pillars. Also, I can TOTALLY fit 4 AA SMD's in my trunk, I'll just to a blowthrough from the back seats. I'm gonna go get a loan for this tomorrow. THIS SHIT'S GOING DOWN!!!

If only I had the money right now, I would jump on those prices. I need to get a job first
