glad to help man, you wont be disspointed

a few years ago some friends bet me i couldnt drink a whole bottle of pepto bismol and i put it all down so its something thats stuck with me..lol

i dont know how honest this place is man this is usually a $850+ sub brand new http://www.audiosavings.com/product_detail...b4-61dd37361690 has you can see they only want $479 for it..buyer beware

just a heads up you can go bigger this guy is using a 6 cbft ported box http://www.teamssaudio.com/video/play.php?vid=142

good choice bud, <-- heres a big cold mug of pepto bismol for you

the mojo's are knowing for being pure spl subs but i really couldnt tell you if the new ones sound better then the old ones..

Sorry for the stupid question, but what exactly does that mean? I know nothing when it comes to component speakers. When I upgraded from stock I just took my 6x9's in the back and replaced them with Sony Xplode 6x9's and did the same for the speakers in the door. i think its $399 for the sundown sae-1000d i dont know if thats the msrp price if you want send ssa a email they are very fast to respond to get a exzact answer...far has power goes here is a link where they they power tested the sae-1000d model http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=9398 and im sure 2.3 will be just fine..

indeed it is..but we can wait for others to chime in but i would have no problem in saying it is easily worth the difference in sq

only did that because you never posted what budget was..lol..so i went with a kicker zx 2500.1 to power both subs but if money was not a problem then without a doubt 2 sundown 1000 watt amps 1 for each sub..sure he could go with the 1500 watt sundown model and push 750 per sub..but for my taste i always like to be dead on the rms or a little over since the icons can take 1100-1200 watts daily but like i said if you got the cash then sundown over kicker anyday

they both will get loud but the icon will sound much much better

he said sq is his main concern so between the icon, the q, and the ssd out of those 3 the ssd should be his last pick because the icon and the q have better sq being that they are sq subs

hey bro did you use any of that overkill or just the damplifier?

kicker and jl makes some really good kits http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...pdate+Selection http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...pdate+Selection you can get these for about half the price on ebay

im just going by what i was told by fi when the ssd's and q's first hit the market way back when they came out..

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/products/icon/10.html Sealed: .5 cu.ft. Sealed: .85 cu.ft. optimal Ported: .75 cu.ft. @ 27-33 hz Ported: 1.25 cu.ft. @ 27-33hz opt. Sub Outside Dia.: 11.000

no i meant you wont need to put speakers in a box in the back..what id do is just take out the coaxials you have now and install the jl's and your set right there far has speakers go..maybe sell the coaxials or save them for another car..

its a 1996 dodge caravan

gotta be honest bro i wouldnt do that dont think it will sound right..the xr series jl's will more then be enough to get loud and sound great especially on that amp you got..

well to be honest the type x is mostly a sq sub and doesnt really get loud..the ssd also is not a sq type sub..so its comes down to the fi q and ssa icon and to be honest you cant lose here with these two..only difference is since you want the bp option to handle more power it will cost you $578 for the q's while the ssa icons can already handle 1200 watts daily with not problem for $478 so your saving $100 so eiter way you cant lose in terms of sq and being able to get loud..but if i can save $100 and still be just has good..hey no brainer there for me icon all the way this vid right here is my favorite icon vid its 1 15'' sub getting 1000 watts from a sundown amp in a ported box http://www.teamssaudio.com/video/play.php?vid=142

i was wondering what are your reasons for not putting these in the doors and instead in a box in the back?

its on the right side the back door that slides back and forth to let people in and out..i think i can remove the panel from the inside

great choice man i had those in my older model yukon and i had 4 jl12w7's getting 1000 watts each and the speakers just sounded incredible..they would never distort no matter how high i turned them and the tweeters are great not harsh at all..

Well, originally I was thinking of getting two 10" Q's with BP power option. That would come to a total of almost $600. I was only going to buy one first and then add the other one later, rather than buying everything at once. The box I currently have was built around FI Q specifications and is split into two separate chambers, one for each sub. So any sub(s) that are $600 and under I guess. If I can get a single sub for less then 2 FI Q's that will be just as nice, I'd prefer that. Also, since I'm not very happy with any of the components in my system right now, yes, I am looking at upgrading pretty much everything. New head unit, new speakers, new subs, new amp, etc. I won't be able to do it all at the same time due to money constraints, but I figure I'll do one thing at a time. First on my list is probably sound deadening since rattling is annoying as hell, and even with my duals there is quite a bit of rattling. I couldn't imagine a really nice system without deadening. As for extra battery / larger main battery and bigger alternator, I'd prefer not to as that would even add to the cost more, but if I really need to in order to get what I want then I will. So, to answer your question, yes I am willing to do so. I definitely plan on doing the Big 3 as well, but unsure what wire / fuse holder & fuse, etc. to use. ok good info you gave..and based on that this is what i would go with for subs id go with ssa icons in the 10'' size..they are rated at 1000 watts but can easily handle 1100-1200 watts each you can get 2 10's for only $478 instead of the $600 you planned for subs..and these things hit hard and loud and get low..plus they keep there sq at the same time..all the reviews ive read and videos ive seen tells me this is not a lie..these things are awsome.. for head unit id go with a pioneer or alpine you really cant go wrong there.. sound deadening id go with second skin audio http://www.secondskinaudio.com/vibration-m...lifier.php#tab5 eiter go with the damplifier or damplifier pro which ever you can afford the pro is just thicker for components id go with some jl's,boston acoustics,diamonds all those are nice..just pick whats in your budget and post a question about the models you've chosen to see what others think..also dont waste time or money on caps.. so if i had your car and where to do it all right now heres what id end up with 2 10'' ssa icons $478 kicker zx 2500.1 $650 4 channel kicker amp $250 JL Audio VR650-CS around $200 a set head unit around $250 damplifer around $188 <--80sq ft total $2016 this is just what i would get for my money not saying this is the end all be all..but since you didnt really give a budget on everything i picked stuff out that wasnt too expensive and would still give you a smile each and everytime you turn your system on..

before we can suggest anything how much do you have to spend on the sub? are you looking to change everything from your subs and speakers? are you willing to get extra batteries and a high output alt? what about sound deadening? all these things need to be addressed before you can really get a answer you can take to the bank..otherwise it will be just a group of people sitting on a porch drinking lemonade suggesting what they think you will like..lol
