If all in ideal enclosures, it would play louder than a BL or Q with the same power. If you were expecting a problem with doing that, then you need to do so more research. It will NEVER hurt a sub to give it less power unless the operator compensates like an idiot with the stupid knob, err gain knob. I've had the rear channels of a kx350.4 on the xxx after I sold the sub amp at a competition. Ive 'burped' it with 750w. Daily use with 500w for over a year. Not a single problem so far. Also took 2000w, an almost square wave for >20 burps with no problem. I'm almost the same. I ran a 12" Nightshade on the rear channels of my 100.4 for a week till I got my 3000D hooked up. ok cool. so it would be fine if i hooked up my jvc 300 watt amp untill i get enough money for a big battery? As Sean has said before, you can put your big amplifier in. Just leave the gain down. You can always limit the output of an amplifier.

Only thing to do is try. If you don't like it you can always put the old box back in.

I say cut them. Even if you have to put the stock speakers back in to sell it at some point, you can just mount the stockies to the MDF then. They don't have to go back into the original place. In fact, with the grill over it nobody would know whether they were mounted on the door panel or metal.

Pic of the catch of the fishing/camping trip (made by me of course). I think he was about 5 lbs, which is pretty good for a farm pond. After I took the pictures and was changing hands to take the hook out, he wriggled and the line snapped and he fell into the water. He got to keep my favorite lure

It plays music? Is there supposed to be some magical power range that it only works to play within? I mean think about it, as you turn the volume up on the head unit, more power goes to the sub. So there is some point on that volume knob where the sub is only receiving 300 watts, even if you have a 2000 watt amp. So it would just be like stopping at that volume level.

Nice work on the kid Sean, that's a lot of hair! I can't believe all those meds didn't work, that would be terrible going through all those efforts.

It went great man..........she is fuckin smart for 2, very much like I have a feeling Sean's child will be. I went on vacation on the 14th back to NY..........It was basically a friends and family vaca so I kept the internet usage to a minimum......I got back into Pheonix Friday evening and met some friends for a trip to Vegas for the weekend. Done decently well at the craps and roulette tables, and didn't lose on the fight last night, so a lil coin in my pocket. Prolly gonna come home with a few other things too.......... J Crabs?

You wouldn't fit in there. What is your name on there?

I'd still like to know how you have the subs wired to that amp. -
Gotta start packing for the camping trip and check the fluids in Midnight Thunder.

Oh boy, where to begin. 1/2" enclosures are not the best. Having two different sized enclosures is pretty ghetto and not ideal for sound reproduction at all. How do you have the subs wired to the amp? Since those subs are 4 ohm SVC, however you have it wired to that 2 channel amp is not ideal. Does this setup sound good at all? You need a fuse about a foot from the battery under the hood if you don't have one already.

Don't pray to god, just go to walgreens and get condoms. Teh condoms and pill. Same here. But last night I had a dream that we did it without a condom. I think it was because of these posts, haha.

College is awesome. I'm not sure how much of a "college feel" that institute has. Are there very many coeds there? Or maybe an all-women's college nearby?

Also went to a comedy club tonight (Stanford and Sons). It was mostly good, except for the girl, who was the second performer. She wasn't really funny at all and was just vulgar. She made a joke about killing more Jews than the Nazis because she was a Jew and often used the morning after pill. You could feel the uneasiness sweep over the crowd. Some small tragedies get a bit funny over time, but the Holocaust will never be funny. The main even guy, Dante, was quite funny. His opening joke to "test the crowd" was he said most people go to the bathroom in the shower, right? But doesn't everybody hate the part when you have to squish the crap through the drain with your feet? haha. He made a few racial jokes (though he spread them out over all races to make it fair). The one about Asians was about a Chinese guy who had a late drinking night with his friends and he was feeling a little randy when he finally got home. He nudged his wife awake and said "hey, how about some 69?" She looked at the clock and said "It's 5:30 in the morning and you want me to go downstairs and make you some mongolian beef with snow peas?"

Went to Night at the Museum 2 today. It's decently good. Not quite as good as the first, IMO. But one hilarious part, when Ivan the Terrible is being introduced. "Actually, Ivan the Terrible is an incorrect translation. The correct translation is Ivan the Awesome." Hahaha, rofl.

You need the BTL. It will handle the abuse you will most likely give the sub better.

I think the amp rack is ok, but you definitely need something to stabilize that battery. Don't let it just sit there.

Well, I wouldn't call college "life" just yet. Wait until you have a full time job out of school.

That small yellow cylinder is a capacitor. Too much power.

Sure sounds good.

Why don't you tell us what your system consists of entirely so we can help you more? With this info you gave we're trying to figure out the picture with only 4 pieces to the puzzle. Also, fuses are there to protect the wire, not the amps. Most amplifiers, at least ones that you'd run on 8 or 4 gauge wire, come with built-in fuses to protect the amps themselves. So the fusing size depends on the power wire you are using. -
That's a decent idea. I didn't care to mess with fiberglass when I made the enclosure for my 12, so I just had it facing back in an L-shaped box in that corner. It only sticks out about 6" from the wheel well and leaves quite a bit of room, even with my amp rack. But if you could fiberglass it, I say go for it.

There's your problem...you MUST set your subsonic 2-3Hz below your tuning frequency of your enclosure. Otherwise..that happens. How would a subsonic filter, a buffer against mechanical failure, help in this situation, which was a thermal failure? I'm not saying he shouldn't have it on, I just don't knnow how it could have helped. Unless maybe overexcursion from unloading stretched/frayed/broke the tinsels, and a resulting arc lit the spider on fire.
