DAMN We run out of power with the 3 2500's. I cannot wait to put 3 more amps in there.

There really isn't. lol This is my shops truck that I built. Build as in design, build and fabricate all on your own or just build? I copied Scott's over all layout of the 6 subs on one side, then designed it around my power level and desired performance. Then my boss and I spent about 2 weeks building everything while still running the shop. 158.3@54Hz 157.8@45Hz 155.9@30Hz 154.2@20Hz

Thanks man. lol Usually you're right, SPL is ugly, most guys don't care anymore what it looks like. Which is beyond me. Even my personal car has everything setup half decent looking.

You should be fine as long as you keep the signal clean.

God that thing looks nasty!!! I think I might post some video's of my shops little beast now. lol

Well as it sits my subs were wired in series at the sub, then parallel at the amps which were strapped together. Putting each amp at .5ohm Apparently, if I wire the subs to be parallel at the sub then wire each sub to it's own amp with each amp still at .5ohm. It will increase coil efficiency. When wired in series you get double the amperage but half the voltage. Causing heat to build up and efficiency to be lost. In parallel it does the opposite, you get half the amperage but double the voltage. So you still get the same amount of power, it' s just with a higher voltage causing less heat build up and higher efficiency. Which is where the gain comes from Which makes sense, when I was at .25ohm on the M4a, I could play music all day. And subs never got to hot. they were in parallel. Now with the D9's at .5ohm, I get about 2-3 minutes and they hot as hell. Even at the same volume as before, And are in series. Any one have any experience with this, or any further information? I'll have some results soon from my own testing.

So from what I'm being told, there is no difference at all how the coils use the power going from series to parallel? None at all?

Wait till one dies though, and it will, you'll see the companies true colors. It happens over, and over, and over again. The exact same thing.

It isn't that. People get annoyed (including myself) when missinformation is posted and it is justified under the "well lets test and find out" banner. Not only does it misslead people, but it drags down this site. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with creative design, but making things up (like most of the "transmission line" enclosures, "I need clean power class D amps" and "The RMS of subwoofer is how much power it needs" for instance) doesn't help anyone and just perpetuates ignorance... Well I'm sorry you feel I'm dragging down the site by questioning something like this.

Far from thousands of people are waiting to see what happens with your build. Lets be honest here. I'm sure some people are sitting, waiting, crying until it happens, but not that many.

I will be building some custom tweeter pods for my new Morel tweeters that are coming, I was wondering if someone with a lot of experience can tell me some of the better directions to aim them. I'm looking for good staging, and good response. Any help will be much appreciated.

Very sweet man! You will find there are but a few of us on here who go for the big bass. lol Most keep to smaller, amazing sounding installs. I understand, just never really posted on here, and got tired of all the b/s on the other forums Oh ok. We try to stay reasonable, civil, and helpful.

Just to give some more information, they are Morel Maximo's with a Pioneer PRS-800 as the EQ, Crossover, and T/A controller.

Very nice! Any numbers?

Ok, check this out. I'm going to need everyone to CALM DOWN. Jesus Christ, it's like I said Obama is a swell guy or something shit.

Well the Type X's have an un-winding coil and the Morel's seem pretty high quality. So we will see. And it's finally my chance to fiberglass some A-Pillars.

I won a set of Morel Components in a Facebook contest! I can't wait to get them in to replace the Type X mids and stock PT tweets still in the dash. They should go well with the PRS and C5b. http://www.morelhifi.com/car-audio/maximo

Well, we shall see. I might probably see an SPL gain simply from having the amps not strapped together so the starting ohm load is lowered over all, which I could easily attest to changing the wiring. But I know that there are a lot of variables.

As I have said twice now, the amount amperage and voltage being outputted from the amplifiers will not be changed just how the coils distribute everything is supposedly changed. We will see if anything happens with this, if so good. If not oh well, maybe at least they will stay cooler while I play.

Have you tried it ? Soon as my new re-cone arrives I will be testing the theory.

From what I understood it had nothing to do with changing what amps/volts the amplifier produced, which I know cannot change, it had to do with how the coils distributed the power between the two.

Welcome back to the game.

As it sits, it will be there will now be NO series wiring at all. Previously, each sub was Dual 1 coils wired series to 2ohm, then paralleled at the amps, which we're strapped together @1ohm, putting each amp at a final 1ohm. Now, each sub will be on it's own amp with the Dual 1 coils paralleled into the amplifier at .5ohm. Ed Lester did such a good job breaking down the math as to why it's less amps over the coils in parallel then it is in series, seemed legit.
