    Small system.

    Buy used, get a 10" sub or so, and a 300 watt amp. And a low end Alpine deck. Check for sale sections for deals. Just my suggestions.

    pvc ports

    No, unfortunately it doesn't work that way. I thought it did on my first ported box and I ended up being tuned to 50 hz instead of 34. Download a program like winISD (It has an option for bandpass box so you can design it in there) or look at the port calculator on this site. That'll help you.

    something itchy, nice Her only rules we're don't bring anything infectious or viral home. She said she didn't like the idea of vaginal sex or kissing another womans vagina, but "if you want to ass fuck a train of dirty sluts, go ahead. Just don't bring home anything, or else the rest of your life will be hell." Wow. Your wife is very liberal. And funny. Your life will be hell, haha.

    My gf has been sexting me all day. And she isn't coming over until tomorrow. That's mean.

    Wisdom Teeth

    I got mine out in high school (over spring break. Thanks for planning that one, mom). I felt fine enough to ask my mom if I could drive home, but she said no. The worst part was the gauze they made me keep in my mouth for like 6 hours afterwards. They kept getting full of saliva and blood and just gross feeling. I never had a problem with pain, but my cheeks swelled up like a chipmunk for 4 days. That sucked. But the worst part was that one of them got infected like a week later, and I had to go in and have the doctor poke a needle into my gum in a few places, with no anesthesia, and drain the fluid. It was also gross and that hurt a bunch.
  8. You'd want to just use one or the other. Most amplifiers have a flat crossover option, meaning neither the highpass or lowpass are being used. So you can just turn the crossovers off on the amps and use the head unit. Although on the mids, you'll want to bandpass them, so you'll likely have to use one crossover from each the amp and head unit. But that's fine because it won't be the same type of crossover (highpass and lowpass instead of both highpass, for instance).

    RE MT 18 ?

    Gathering from his previous posts, spanish is his first language and his english isn't perfect. I'd say he's trying to figure out where to buy an MT. You have to buy through a dealer. Try to find one here: http://www.usamps.com/dealer.asp. Note that there is a link for international dealers.

    new box for 15's

    stop using ----- and form real sentences. I can't understand what you are saying. You had a 2000 watt amp on a 1000 watt RMS sub and were surprised it blew? Maybe you should get four 12s so that they handle your abuse better.

    pvc ports

    No, it doesn't double. I'll be your 8th grade math teacher for a minute. Area of a circle is pi * r^2. 3" Ports: 3.14159 * 1.5^2 = 7.07 sq. inches. 6" Port: 3.14159 * 3^2 = 28.3 sq. inches. You'd need four 3" ports to equal one 6" port.

    Connecting 2 triple Voice Coils subs

    Are you sure they have three voice coils? I've never seen a sub with three. It's either 1, 2, or 4.
  14. Seriously, STOP MAKING THREADS OF THE SAME THING. If you create one more on this same topic your posting rights will be suspended.
  15. That really isn't necessary. Just ground from the amp's ground terminal to the car's chassis. ALL amps spark when you touch a live power wire to the heatsink, because it's metal. Wouldn't be any different than touching the power wire to your car frame. This is why every amplifier manual you'll ever read suggests taking out the inline fuse before attaching the power wire to the amp.
  16. At first I didn't think I'd like the cover because I thought it would be a pain to have to take on and off if I wanted to adjust something, but now I actually like it because it gives the amp a more complete look and covers up the front-mounted hookups, which I've also grown to like as well. Looks much cleaner than amps with inputs on the ends.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I spoke too soon! On the way to the grocery store 30 minutes after I posted that I saw a yellow Lamborghini Murcielago in a parking lot at what looked like a car get-together. I was so pumped, first Lamborghini I've seen in my life and they're my favorite cars ever! There were a couple vipers there as well, then just a bunch of cars with upgrades, like Dodge Magnums, Chrysler 300s, a few trucks, etc. When I drove back by after the store everybody was still there but I couldn't find the Lambo. Darn.
  18. Merged and moved your two similar threads. You will still find recommendations on the Xcons in this forum section.
  19. You can do an external port, but that would change my suggestions since you would no longer be displacing the air inside the box. So we'd have to come up with new lengths for you. But as far as inside the box, if you can find some 90 degree corners, you can just put those on the end of one port piece, then run the port along in a different direction inside the box. It doesn't have to be straight. But if you are having no noise problems now, I wouldn't worry about it.

    bandpass enclosures

    It shouldn't. After you seal off the trunk the subs will have less area to pressurize, and you won't have the cancellation effects that you get by facing the subs forward but not sealing off the trunk (the reason those setups aren't as loud as facing towards the rear).

    2 12" Fi Q subs....proper break in?

    Yep. They'll break in by themselves over time.

    Fair enough.

    Must buy for 07 and up tahoe owners

    Warm air burns more efficiently, which is why we get better mpg in the summer than winter. Cold air intakes do the opposite of that. There have been cases of better mpg after adding K&N filters, but a lot of the time it's because the computer reads the incoming air differently and creates a more lean condition. So be careful about that. If you're getting more mpg it's because you're mixture is more lean. That can and will cause problems over time.
