consider something like this : doorboard Audi A4 stuff like that can be found in the parts where i live like here : audioshop you could also look for the doorboard fabricators : Jehnert , Poket or PM .

I'd opt the Kicker Warhorse , I know they are expensive ... But It needed to be mentioned as it is a very good amp A very good option would be 2 saz1500d's per coil or one 3500 per coil

What kind of horn are you looking for ... I've build a few ...

nice setup ! looks like you want to quadruple those amps !

I still love my OZ superleggera's

Welcome ! not to keen on the nickname though ...or am I reading it wrong ?

black frame #70 SMD now all got to do is make a nice enclosure for this 18" baby .......

Please quit the remarks on what it costs , I'll enjoy it for a long time ... so costs per minute played will be low okay ?

Almost ashamed I haven't started building yet , I overslept last weekend and was to late to go to the woodshop that closes at noon on saturday (its the only day I can go and do stuff like that ) . cool things are that friends cal me to make an appointment to come and see/admire it. Even my father-in-law who is absolutely clueless when it comes audio ,was amazed when he saw this woofer and couldnt stop looking . hope to start the build soon .

This is turning into one of the baddest installs here on SSA .. lots of pictures that people can learn a lot from , I'm liking this a lot J ! Keep up the excelent work ! a +1 right back at ya .

Will a 320 amp alternator be able to handle the (2) SAZ-3500, with (2) XS Power D3100s, OR will i need two more D3100s? I'd go for 2 more batts for sure you need a buffer to suply current in peaks its not a constant... don't be so affraid of a little voltage drop , with 320Amps you'll be just fine eventhough the amps will draw more at times

I have learned a boat load about tuning and installation lately And the 12" is gonna take every bit of it. I won't forget the pics, I know ya' all are picture whores.:captain: You know us so well

Looking good ! its been done before , I'm sure you will succeed !

don't think impendence is really an issue here . try metering it with the trunk open (and doors shut offcourse) ... how big is that trunk ,10 or 11 cuFt ..... way to small to house two of those beasts and you are in fact smothering them .... maybe trunkspace was stated somewhere in your other topic but did read it entirely ... .if it were 11cuFt Qtc would be somewhere around 0,93 ... you need to get it down to 0,7 (36 cuFt) at least ... 0,5 would be my goal , ther is no way you're going to achieve that in a trunk for 2 18inch IB woofers ... my suggestion would be make a hole (or two) what is short and big enough not to act as a port to the outside . test with trunk open and see how that goes ... might also be an idea to listen to your system and how it sounds ... if and when that works you could make the ventilation holes that are often behind the bumper bigger and if there are flaps remove them for starters .

WOOFERPORN

HMMMM , I'd say that that impedance curve is spot on to what I'd expect from a Woofer with an Re of 4ohm on sinewaves and impedance rise taken into account .......

welcome

X2 those are only available in 12 inch , that very well be enough BOOM .... second hand is another option with that kind of budget , start looking in SSA's wanted/for sale topic off course !

before I even thought of even hooking that thing up I'd refurb it or at least put some fresh cap's in ....no idea if thats worth it though

It could all be coincedense offcourse , though it is quite probable your RCA,s are the problem , I'd check remote and power/ground cables , check if all the cables are correctly separated and check if all is free of any damage , check if the amps aren't making ground on the chassis and if there is tape anywhere on the cables redo / make sure it is good isolating tape , better yet that shrinking hose (no clue what it is called in english, maybe someone else could clarify) , you mentioned taking the maxxlink out of your car , were the cables thar ran to it taken out and/ or were new rca's run from that point if so how are the jack's protected ?

THANX ! I've been looking for that 20 Hz to 160 Hz slide uncompressed

I've owned a few hertz subs and heared many I advice not to buy Hertz subs , they lack in bottom end and expensive for what they're capable of . more info on what you're looking for would be needed to give any advice on a suiting sub for you . your front stage has got great potential , curious to see what your goals are .

Finally , good stuff !

I know how to use WinISD, don't worry. It's a mid-Qts sub with a large Vas...how do you think it's going to model? It'll be a big box, of course. there are very few 15" woofers that would be satisfied with 2cuft ported and hit the lows well . however you did forget to take the gabin gain into account AND the Le filled in with the T/S, which would change the graph . stuffing would partially take away the bump , all that results in something very different from what you're telling this woofer could end up in a ported 3.5 cuft box and with an almost flat response in-car without EQ'íng but with the right fine-tuning . The IA is a very nice sub though .
