    Bromos Build Log

    Did you put a piece of Styrofoam in the passenger door as well? Yeah my next goal is deadening as well and was also weary about it but the more I see people having great results makes me want to go for it.

    1 18 vs 2 15's

    What are your goals, is that 6ft^3 before or after sub/port/bracing displacement?
  3. Here is a write up on the Big 3 to get you started and the only way to tell if your car will handle it will be to install the equipment and go from there. Make sure you do the Big 3 in 1/0 AWG wire, get a secondary battery and a volt meter so you can keep an eye on your voltage. If your voltage holds up well then your current alternator will suffice and if not then get ready to look into an H/O Alternator. Big 3 Wiring: 1. Engine Block/Bolt on Alternator Case to car's frame (Ground Wire). 2. Battery Negative Post to the car's frame (Ground Wire). 3. Battery Positive Post to the Alternator Positive Terminal (Positive Wire). http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/Technical-Reference-Center-f57/Technical-Info-How-Tos-f60/THE-BIG-3-t200.html

    Componet Advice and Recommendation

    Instead of running the speakers seperate from the tweeter and using a passive crossover to control them you can put the tweeter in the middle of the driver and run them together. Look the pictures on the site and see how one has the gold plug in the middle then another picture the tweeter is in the middle of the speaker instead.

    Componet Advice and Recommendation

    Clean power yes they will, but you can always turn the gain down on the channels controlling the 5.25" components on your amp. You can also call(number on website) Navid at Crescendo or email him at [email protected] and ask him personally about that. There are other brands out there as well just sharing with you what I have experience and like that are in you budget.

    Componet Advice and Recommendation

    Check out these components, currently I have the 6.5" and they are great for the price. They even have both sizes you need in case you wanted to use the same brand up front and in the back.

    2 ssd 12 vs 1 bl 15

    Usually they recommend 3-5ft^3 after sub, port and bracing displacement. 4-5ft^3 or how much room you have available.

    Problem getting the sub/amp to work

    No actually he is running 2 D4 subs, each wired to 2 ohms going into its own channel.

    Problem getting the sub/amp to work

    Everything seems fine with the wiring, how is it grounded? How did you set your gains, are you using bass boost? Is the amp well ventilated, is it getting too hot? Make sure you have D4 coils and they are wired to two ohms just to be safe. Any electrical upgrades? Just a few questions to get you started?

    6.5" comp recommendations ...

    Sounds good to me, you know what fits so go for what you know. Two sets of components will be nice

    Loss of output

    Alright..thanks. And which grounds are you talking about? are there other important ones besides the battery ground, and the amp ground? Would it be okay to run 0 gauge for the amp ground if im only running 4 gauge power wire? It wouldnt hurt the amp to run a bigger gauge wire for the ground but I would just upgrade both wires to 1/0 awg and be done with it, that way if you upgrade amps in the future your wiring will be taken care of.

    3 SA-8's Box Design Help

    It depends if it is for daily, competing or purely spl. I know Jacob recommends 30Hz for the 12"s but you dont have to use that tuning. If for daily then 33hz will be fine.

    3 SA-8's Box Design Help

    Is that the best approach? A single chamber box rather than splitting them into their own chambers. It doesnt make a difference really, the only downfall of using a single chamber is that if a driver fails you wont be able to play them other two until you get it fixed.

    6.5" comp recommendations ...

    No the tweets on the coaxials wont be an issue, I wouldnt buy from that site because they dont seem to be a dealer plus you gotta pay for shipping so you will still be in the some ballpark in price as woofersetc.com. I would pay the extra few dollars and buy from woofersetc.com but that is just me.

    hey nick

    Do some research on them and that will help you make a nice decision on there products but yeah they are good products to use if you want bass.

    Im pretty sure that is the volume for the three drivers together in a single chamber instead of individually.
