audio-neon

Basically, you pick a sub and amp based on budget. From there you determine box type. I'm inclined to suggest a mach 5 ixl15.2 paired with a sundown SAE-1000d. From there I would suggest a large sealed box, or if you are looking for more output than SQ, a medium ported enclosure tuned to 32 hz.

Last time I checked, powermasters and kinetics charged the same way. Add current.

I had lunch 3 hours ago. I'm hungry still though.

I could correctly install a btl with 4000 watts rms and have it have better sq than a jl audio w7 in jl's recommended enlcosure. But my btl won't be louder than the w7.

it would be for just appearance as there is no way for me to totally seal it due to the trunk hinges, the panel will be very snug with the exception of the slots cut out for the trunk hinges to go through. it would just be for looks. so with this, i should definitely try to port up towards the rear deck speaker holes and have the subs facing the cabin? Personally for a daily driver, I would do it that way. denim & audio-neon, thanks alot for all the help, really appreciate it! No problem, besides you wouldn't want a trunk as ugly as mine was.

everyone seems to have a problem being on time for you... damn karma better bite them back

The first point is correct. The point about the w7's is null and void. You don't know the boxes. You don't know the xmax they are using etc... There are just too many factors to give a definitive answer based on paper #'s.

CoD4 is not being nice today. I'm either meeting hosts that end games early or getting raped by lvl 55 lvl 10 prestiges.

orange, orange, blue, orange orange.

As said above, 2000 watts would work for 1 18" BTL but two of them are going to need more power. Actually he said he currently has 1000 watts for 2 12w7's. He's planning on buying another jl1000.1. He would have 2000 watts total, divided by two subs= 1000 watts per sub.

If you are sealing off behind the box, it won't be removable.

If you were to do two round ports, they would be 3" in diameter and 13" in length. You don't have the depth for 4" ports.

I don't have winisd on this computer. Give me a minute to do the math.

well i got about 35in wide and maybe 15in in height to work with. do you think i can port up and not have to go higher than the box into my rear speaker holes? You should have plenty of room to do a slot port up. With a 3" gap. I wouldn't port forward.

When I sealed off my trunk I ran port forward subs forward, but I was competing in spl and always had my seats down. It was noticeably quieter with the seats up, and the box's tuning got wacky b/c it was using the seat back as more port wall.

Drink one for me too. I can't drink and be sick. It's just not a good combination. but with the slight pain in my back from sleeping soo much I could really use a drink.

there really isn't a downside to tuning 4 hz lower if you are running an efficient box. A lower tuning will strengthen the bottom end and has less peaks. It will however roll off sooner (Which you will be fine b/c a lot of component sets crossover @ 63 hz 12/dB slopes anyways.)

....oh realy? hrmmm.. I don't even see where it says that. It could solve my delima with my only having 2 way with the 880. It's killing me to not have new audio in there but I'm really indecisive and see the good sides of too many things. GrrrRRrrr the h701 is overkill for my sq car at this point as I'm only going to be running a 2 way, but it's flexability will allow me to use it if I ever do spend more money and get the legatia L4 midrange

and for sale thread made.... too bad i don't have money. I would almost buy that 5200 off of him

pm me a price and pics of that 5200.

Just a heads up. time to visit the advanced section to see why larger woofers aren't "sloppier"

You sound like me when I'm sitting in the intensive care unit reading gm high performance while assigned to watching telemetry (heart monitors)

I figured it out. lol

to SSA!
