so i am guessing ur tryna stay above 2000 watts for the pair rms? if not whats wrong with the zx1500.1. u can find one on ebay for some slight chit and it wont cause u to upgrade ur electrical a lot. there are a couple of them that are on ebay now for a lil less then 400 shipped. 2 canada though..not sure.

i plan on running a power and ground directly to my amps from under the hood. i dont really want to ground into the trunk. does this make a difference? i am also going to do the big 3 upgrade. kicker zx2500.1, and a zx650.4 are the amps. 2 optima 34/78 yellow tops.

i have a dilema. i have a zx2500.1 now. i am gonna purchase 2 15.2 orion hcca's next week. but since some faggy ass mofos done stripped my other car i think i wanna put more money into this setup. i have a 6cub ft box @ 35hz for these subs. i am contemplating buying another zx2500.1 to run one amp per sub. i am prepared and fully aware of the elec upgrades need to be successful. so with all this being said what would be a realistic difference in the 2 setups. 2 hcca's wit 1 amp or 2 hcca's wit 2 amps. obviously this is a problem cause i need to buy the subs according to the ohm load they will be run at. my goal is to have loud and deep clear bass. i want some movement(flex) and i want power. but if there isnt a clear and noticeable difference in the 2 setups why spend the extra. the setup is going in a 04 towncar.

so whats up with that amp. u tryna sell it.

ok it can run 1 ohm stable? the specs dont say that. and what is ur wattage when u run at 1 ohm? how long have u had that amp? i would think it would damage the amp.

i wanna b competitive but it is a town car so me doing a lot of extra is not really what i wanna do. so if it wont make a difference then i wont do it.

so what is the difference of people who have multiple runs of wire? does it only make a difference for power wire?

true. good looking out. didnt know if my ground would be that much more solid because of a direct connection to the battery. i also wanted to do it cause i thought it looked kinda good. so when u use a meter what setting are you to put it on and what should it be reading?

son please....get a bigger amp. u have alot of potential there. 600 watts? at least u could get a hifonics 2000 watt and get a lil over 1000 to both of the subs. lol

oh chit. after i watch ducky dance i see randy's name. so ur in maryland? do u compete @ us audio's dbdrag comps? i dont think i have ever seen u before.

lol @ bigjohn. i was thinking the same thing as i read the thread.

i have 2 morel dms-29 1-1/8 tweeters. what would be the difference in sound if i used a capacitor instead of running the speakers thru a crossover? does it affect the power it receives?

i want to wire my tweeters and mid drivers without using a crossover. the sales rep i spoke to told me that was the easiest route to go. i dont have any specific goals other then for the speakers to work and not blow. or sound bad.

ok i see what u mean. they are under my profile in my album. i put one up real quick for now. i will fix it either tonight or tomorrow.

i am really feeling that box but why do u have the port blocked? will that take away from the sound?

the pics are under my profile. neither car has anything in it now. the 04 has 2 amps and a battery in my room and the 93 has everything except a h/u. some jack a s s broke in it and stole my s hit so i just took everything out. i will be putting in both systems shortly. just need some more money for them hcca's. and i still am debating if i wanna do 2 15 hcca's, 2 15 btl's, or 1 18 btl. i have to actually start hearing some of these speakers in action or i will be confused until then. but as soon as i get them up and going i will be posting vid up.

i put some pics up finally. seing ur remark made me remeber. i will post more later. and i need to hear ur setup. u got me real hype over here but i like my pops always told me.. i dont believe chit stinks till i smell it.

and to add my opinion, i would say go with the 4 15's. i have never heard 8 12's. the trunk in a caprice gives you a lot of options with a box because of the shape. i have 4 15's in my trunk and it is loud as hell. if you power it correctly you will be satisfied.

hold on bigjohn...so u tellin me u beat a truck with 4 15's? what kinda subs, amp, combo? are u talkin db's?

ok thanks. didnt see that.

ok. thanks 4 the help

i have some dayton rs180's ( 7 in.) that i recently purchased. my car takes 6x8's up front and 6x9's in the rear. other then using a piece of wood to mount the speakers what other method could i use that will give me some clearance and also allow me to install the speakers so that they do not come in direct contact with the door. i have heard of adapters but i do not know if they will help me in my case. these are the speakers specs: Specifications: *Power handling: 60 watts RMS/90 watts max *VCdia: 1.5" *Le: .90 mH *Znom: 8 ohms *Re: 6.4 ohms *Frequency range: 40-2,200 Hz *Fs: 38 Hz *SPL: 87.6 dB 2.83V/1m *Vas: .88 cu. ft. *Qms: 2.00 *Qes: .47 *Qts: .38 *Xmax: 6 mm *Dimensions: A: 7-1/8", B: 5-3/4", C: 3-5/8". and since i couldn't find my exact speaker specs online i found a speaker identical: Speaker Size : 5" x 7" / 6" x 8" Design : 2-way Sensitivity : 90 dB Frequency Response : 45Hz - 20kHz Peak Power Handling : 70 watts RMS Power Handling : 35 watts Impedance : 4 ohms Curvilinear Injection-Molded Polypropylene (CIMP) woofer cone High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former Optimized Polyfoam Ribbed Surround Radius 1/2" PEN semi-dome tweeter Neodymium tweeter magnet New Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires Ferro-fluid cooled tweeter voice coil Top Mount Depth : 2-5/16" Bottom-mount depth : 2-11/16" Cutout Dimensions : 5" x 7-1/8" i really dont want to build pods on my front doors but i am open to all suggestions. and just fyi, i havent figured out yet where i want to put the speakers in the rear. whether it be the factory location (rear deck) or in the doors.

do u sell blueprints for box designs? i am gonna need to have a box built but i will be running low on funds.

wow no response?
