guess the AP is out then, thank you. alright, good to hear..just comes down to price and availability ya ive been checkin more into that apx and a lot of ppl are running them at .5 I'll count the AP out, need 1 ohm. Dude wants $600 per GP3kPRO :-O do you have a build log? good news. I think I've gotten some pretty useful info here. if I cant post what I have been posting, then this site wouldnt be helpful anymore thank you for the heads up though!

happy thanksgiving!

Alright, got my batteries, subs, sub amps, wires, terminal rings, HU, and crossover all figured out. Already have my highs/mids/amps. Working on an HT as well, looking to go surround 6.1 or 7.1 with 21" Maelstrom-X's as well, MTM with Kevin's Anarchy cheap tweet crossover. May get an HDTV... So, I want to be able to hook my laptop to my HU if I so desire, as well as to my HDTV to watch online on the HDTV. Will I need a special sound card? What kind of connector, as I believe the PXA-H701 will use up the optical cable/connector and the Ai-Net cable/connector. So far: 6 Shuriken BT-80's 4 Hifonics BXi2610D's Alpine W200 Alpine PXA-H701 HO alt TBD Already have: 4 Adire Audio Extremis 6.4's Kicker KX850.4 (needs repair for 1 channel's crossover) 2 Adire Audio/CSS/Exodus FR125S's Kicker KX350.4 (bridge since FRs are 8 ohm) 2 Vifa XT25TG30 1" Ring Radiator tweets Kicker KX200.1 (needs repair, blown) For home: looking for THX Ultra certified because I am told they must be able to drive a 4 ohm load to obtain this certification, Anarchy's are 8ohm, so MTM would parallel 2 per channel 12 or 14 Exodus Audio Anarchy's, build the crossovers Kevin designs, use either the cheap tweets he designs them for or Dan Wiggin's XBL^2 tweets shhhhhh HDTV 2 Exodus Audio Maelstrom-X 21's 2 EP4000's (or EP2500's) I want the laptop to be able to hook up at home and in car. Thanks! Krypto

i have an EASY fix for you ignore my threads

haha lol Im not into either SQ or SPL, just wanna sound good while playing loud.. it would be nice to have time align and EQ options if I did travel down that road, but right now neither of those matter to me... just whether or not I can HP 2 tweets, BP 2 mids, and bandpass 4 midbass Thank you! yeah Id prefer that too VS the remote. I also like the optical and Ai-Net vs RCA idea... noise floor?

Alright, I need to go 4-way active with 2 sets bandpassed... I thought my only option was to run a crossover, I didn't realize the SX Kicker amps are bandpassable on every channel? So I can run 2 SX900.4 with the remote instead?!?! Please help! Thank you! Jordan Crossovers 10Hz – 16kHz variable HP frequency adjustable in 1/12th octave steps 30Hz – 20kHz variable LP frequency adjustable in 1/12th octave steps 6 – 36dB/octave variable crossover slopes (up to 48dB/octave on the 650.1) HP, BP, and LP on every channel http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/member-product-reviews/6375-running-active-setup-using-kicker-sx-amps-dsp.html

The sub is in a 3.0-3.1 cubic foot enclosure tuned to around 32-33 hz. Im running it of a JL 1000/1. I was playing songs like "soul survivor" Akon and Jeezy. soul survivor peaks right around your tuning...perfect match

I thought I was the only one going overkill by using liguid nails as a sealer for all joints instead of silicone like most. I do have a question that will help me and others shizzzon, why do people say not to use liquid nails as glue between the pieces instead of titebond or other wood glue (my last box for 3-12"s was liquid nails for glue and sealent; which was a strong and sturdy box)? ive always used PL200 PL400 or PLPRO for both between the pieces and then going back with a few more layers.. IMHO not overkill, silicone is just silly

Hey all, I've built plenty of enclosures and done 1 wall that I was able to build outside and slide in through the hatch but my next build I need to go as large as possible so build inside, and thats quite a change from slapping screws in, flip the box, drop more in. Can I get some links to build logs that have good pics of this please... I have been searching and found almost none that really help. Thanks! Krypto

I have never built one without lots of scews so it makes me nervous, but, ive seen it done your way many times... guess I need to bite the bullet and jump thanks man! also, I've taken all the screws out after the caulk cured many times... it's just the whole holding it tight while it cures

if your CDs contain info that goes below 30Hz a 25Hz tune would be pretty sweet, though you would probbly lose overall output

very impressive.. I'll be running HT subs myself pretty soon here

goin w200 and pxa-h701! Thanks guys!

Hey guys, I think there are more Alpine HUs that can run the PXA-H701, but here's the list I'm working off: CDA-9887 good HU 4 volt outputs only $270 if I don't want to play DVDs...great buy All the DVDs only have 2 volt rather than 4 volt. I know most think it doesnt matter..whatever. Price jumps double to go DVD with a screen W200 looks fine, $500 W205 adds optical output, would I use this? $575 D105 the one I was really interested in cuz it plays DviX!! Can't find any on eBay!! D106 $670 I don't see much option change to add all the cost to all of these. So I am deciding either 9887 if not DVD cuz its so much cheaper, W200 if the addition of optical out wont be used, but i believe I would benefit spending the extra $75 on the 205 to run optical to the H701? I can't find the DivX playing 105, and what's the point in the 106 for another $100?

Thanks man.. so W205 for sure

got a buddy that wants to get a good loud system, looking for a good 18" for loud daily probably in the $500 - $600 range give or take. Vehicle is undetermined for now, most likely an SUV, possibly a small hatchback sports car, either way will slot port and tune around 35Hz. probably get a HO alt, 2 AGM batts, and a BXi2608D as I've learned thats the best cheap way to go. Fully loaded BTL daily option is what we're lookin at now, but want to know what else is in this category? Thanks all! Krypto

excellent point, taken man!

let's hear it

$500-$600 for the 18 or for the whole sys? sub $500-$600 for the 18 or for the whole sys? Just for the sub man. lolz eh only $100 more I can see, but if not, what daily SPL sub would do the best off the cheap HiFon/AP3000D/AQ2200D? actually it seems a heated debate between AP/AQ/HiFon.. far as Im concerned, theyre all 3 close for the price. Obviously sundown is in a higher league, and that is reflected in price, otherwise I'd have said "off a SAZ 3000, 3500, or 4500D" I surely hope so. If you are going to do it right the first time, you might as well buy something of higher quality. Cheapest is not always the best route. cant aford higher quality, so, how about stepping down from BTL to something more affordable with amp combo? Thanks guys!

what about them? theyre much much better but also cost much much more yes, theres a specific reason, I need 3000 watts minimum, but I only want to spend $300 a piece if I get 5 of them if I could have any amp, Id like SAZ-4500D... get me some of those for even $500 a piece and Im game I would say Audiopipe 3000D, AudiuQue 2200D and MB Quart 2000D but not a Hifonics and that just my .02. yesh I just heard about the MBQ... thanks for the heads up! Why not HiFon?

4 years ago or so I got a SWEET deal on 6 Optima Red Tops. I can't find the guy and I don't remember what company he's from. Ring any bells for anyone? Anyway most people don't run Optima, why not? I'm assuming because more hours of sotrage can be had for less? I like the idea of dry/gel cells so that I can mount them any way I want inside the vehicle and no hydrogen gas released from charging. Anyone know if this guy is still around? What other options should I consider? Thanks! Krypto

OK, so I am overwhelmingly hearing "get deka" so what is the best for the price, not best for top dollar. I see MK and Intimidator....

That HO Alternator is going to be a must and not a maybe if you plan on having all those amps in your car buddy. \that reads I am getting a HO alt, but, I hope I can add it in addition to my stock alt, cuz yeah, heavy load for just 1 HO alt. I plan on removing the entire AC system and mounting the HO alt where the AC compressor is.

no burping, but a lotta draw daily.... 4 21" maelstrom-X's off either 4 BXi2608Ds or 4 AP3500's or something. HO alt maybe in addition to the stock if I can make a bracket. 4 6.5's off a ZX850.5, 2 4" off a 350.4, 2 1" off a 200.2..... 850.4 has significvant current draw by itself.

i loved my red tops too. they're small, only "down side" I can see to them assuming less hours of storage. not many seem to run them. why not?
