Hey Everyone, I am switching from my 15 BL to either 12's or 10's. I love the 15's but I sold one to a friend and am trying to sell another one that I never even used NIB. Anyway, I was thinking of doing 2 or 3 12's or maybe even 4 10's. I just have not really made up my mind yet. I have not had either and I was wondering which you guys prefer. If you were going to make a system and had either choice what would you choose and why. Also what brand would you go with, I'm looking for good loud subs that stay tight and keep there quality. For now they will be on a SAE-1200 but I plan on moving to a 2000 in the future when I upgrade my electrical further. Basically just looking to discuss on this and look for some ideas. Thanks, Josh

I really enjoyed the 15 BL's they were bad ass. But I have a friend from micronesia who wanted to buy them off me with the box and hook up his suv. I have really been into rock lately because rap is just turning to garbage. But every now and then I like to throw on some old stuff and bam it. I was thinking of of some *cons or Q's I don't really understand what you mean by choose the ones that are most optimized by your car. Yea, I'm still up in the air about wether to go with ported or sealed. What do you mean about power compression? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to understand it better.

I have decided to nix the 10's and either go with 2 12's or a 15. I sold the other 15 to my friend, he wanted to match them after he got the first one. My question now would be which should theoretically sound louder. I would think the 2 12's since you have more surface area but the power will be split so they will only be getting around 600 rms each. Or a single 15 with the 1000rms. My budget right now is around 800. I have an sae-1200 for an amp at this time. And the largest ported box I get in the trunk due to the trunk opening was 5 cubes after displacement. Thanks Josh

I think I am going to hold on to the 15 and put it into my explorer. I was thinking 2 12's myself originally, I always just get carried away though. This will be put in my Mazda 6, the largest box I can get to fit is 6 cubes. So I should have plenty of room for 2 12's. Which ones would you suggest. I have really switched over to listening to more Rock than rap now but I still like to throw on some rap and bam it.

I was wondering if you think it would be better to get a 1000 or 1200 for a daily driver. I'm putting them on 2 15 BL's ... any idea's on this? the pro's cons to both?

Thanks Guys, Yea I have already put in an alarm/new dash/cd player... So amp is the last thing I need to get again.

Well what kind of budget are you working with? 350-400 is the most I want to spend, Like I said I got robbed so I have been slowly adding money to the "car audio" fund

sorry for the lack of information. I was at class when I first posted. I have 2 15 Fi BL's ,DVC,1 ohm IIRC ... I just want to hook both of them up to one amp @ 1ohm. I know they can handle more, but I got jacked a couple months ago and need a good buy. Mainly I just want the most reliable for a daily. I hope this information helps, If I need to put more just let me know. Josh

Thanks bigrank916 I will be sending the money shortly. I had the first one, it was a great amp. I recently got all my amps/cd player/dash/cd's stolen so I am lucky that there is a pre sale.

How do I send in the money to you? Through paypal? If so what name do I need to send it to? Thanks Josh

Hey guys, I'm goin g to try and build a glassed back dash to hold my mids. I was wondering if someone could give me any tips and mainly what I will need to do this. I've heard fleece, resin, and hardener. But which ressin and Hardner should I get? If I use wood to build the base should I use like 1/4 inch mdf or does it matter. Anyway, I wanted to get some of the materials today so anything will help. I'm going to look for a jasper jig so I will be back. Josh

Thx guys I'm at Lowes right now and all I see for resin and fiberglass cloth are from elmers and elmers and 3M hardener. Guess I wiLl Try Home depot.. So after you get the fleece laid . How do u add the cloth to it with the Resin correct?

Hey guys, Been a while, but it is warm again. I am going to a friends, and he is putting 6 cheap components in the back of his car temp. He has 1 amp which is a 2 channel amp. Should I do 3 a piece or should I bridge the amp? Should I do 6 off of it? Thanks Josh

3 sets, 6 total... It is some xplod 6.5's and 2 5.5 I think the amp is a xplod 2 channel "760" watt amp so more like 250.... I could run just four or can I do all 6? I looked at the JL diagram

does anyone here listen to blues... old or new artist.... I have not listened to blues in years since i used to go to sessions with my dad.. Anyway I am looking to listen to some blues piano to get some ideas for a project I am working on... If anyone can help me with some songs or artists I would appreciate it... Well I am off to school. Thx Josh

Hey guys, I am gonna start a few projects and try and glass a few things, I want to put 2 8's on my rear deck and something upfront to put the tweets on the dash. I can't put them in the A-Pillars so I was going to put them in the corners of the dash and I want them to look clean. I was wondering what kind of resin and bonding agent? I think you mix the resin and something else before you put it on the fabric, I read about it a while ago and I will go over it again because I don't remember much. Just thought some of you guys would have some tips on how to do this... I've got some pretty good ideas to actually design it but I will touch back to see if it is plausible... Thx Josh Sorry if this is hard to read or I've written it like a DA... I have been, and still am working on my Finals esays that is due by 6:00 in the morning.

Yea I heard it is time consuming and can be pretty aggrivating.

Hey Jacob, I am looking to make an amp rack in the wheel well and I will be putting 3 amps in it, the 1200D, 100.4 and 125.2 for now.. I was wondering if I do this will I need to add a fan or anything? or do you think it would be better to make an amp rack on the top of the trunk? Perhaps even on the Box if I have room? just wondering what you think I would need if I am forced to go with the wheel well, just don't want them to run hot due to insufficient ventilation. Thx Josh BTW Those amps are quite beefy and look great!

2000LaDe, Did you invert 6 subs for the look or does it do something sound wise? I never really understood what the difference was, I was told it had to do with looks/space... Could you enlighten me on that? Amazing build by the way, very clean! Josh

hehe, hope that got your attention guys! I am going to start building a box for 1 15 while waiting on my sex box!! From teh BJ!! But back to the question... BJ I am going to go to freight harbor and buy a router!! Can you give me some advice on what kind you use and what jig? I know you are much more skilled and I'm sure you have some great equipment... but I have never had/used a router and could you PLEZ give me some advice on what I need? Router/Bitz/Jig... Hope this is ok to put on here concidering I think your box's are amazing and I am trying to build some like you... And you are designing me one You could PM me or just post on here and I would be super super super appreciative... Thx... Sorry for any spelling errors! Thx Josh~~~

Hey guys, Over the next few months I will be doing alot to my mazda, System going in it first, I think I am gonna install it myself instead of fudgeing with the install shop, there trying to fudge me over. I'll get some picks and specs up tomorrow, to bad I didn't get the V6 ;( ... its ok I can still get so hp in her.

Hey guys, I am gonna wire up my 1 15" BL It is a D1 and I am wondering If I should wire it in series at 2 ohms or parallel to .5 ohms... It is gonna be hooked up to a Sundown 1200D... I am wiring it right now So quick advice would be much appreciated... thx

I thought I read somewhere that you had your BL's wired down to .5 Ohm. Maybe I was thinkin of someone else..

Yea I would say a couple of runs of 0 gauge
