    XCON Box

    You could go bigger but 3.6ft^3 would be fine, Im in the same situation as you being able to squeeze like 3.6-3.7 cubes at the max out the trunk without taking away from amp space. Ive never used aeros for the port before but i plan on it this box to gain some volume, you could try this as well.

    Term-lab Alternative

    Do it because Im gonna want one, then I can have a real meter besides using my Epic -160 to see if certain tweaks helped me or hurt me.

    What sub would be perfect for me?

    Depends on your electrical upgrades you are willing to put into the car and budget you have for everything. Do you have space for the 18" BTL to fit in its optimal enclosure? If you have all these areas covered then it will be a good setup to start with.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    The one thing they will tell you is to rotate cold and hot on the knee, so ice pad for like 30 minutes and heating pad for 30 minutes (keep it elevated as much as possible).

    S1200 vs s3400

    I would go with the D3400 for now and replace your factory battery with it, as it will start the car and have some juice for your current system. Then when you upgrade amps and need more power then look at another battery, you may only need a D925 or something as secondary.

    I HATE San Antonio streets

    x2, about the only time you ever see pot holes is when the temperatures are low. Never a problem during the summer time.

    Eclipse CD5030

    Well if they are off the deck and some songs sound bad then turn the volume down, hopefully your not turning your volume knob past 75% of max volume. What do you have your eq settings at on the head unit?

    Eclipse CD5030

    Considering you didnt give us the model number or specs on the speakers it will be hard to tell what to cross them at plus all that will be relative to how much power they are receiving and the frequency they are crossed at. Install them and start at around 100Hz and work your way down to where they can handle the power at that frequency level. You will know they are stressing if they start distorting and sounding back, either back off on the power or turn the frequency filter higher.

    All BTL's like this?

    Most systems you can leave the phase at 0* but you can play with it to see if sounds better since its relative. You mean Low Pass Filter, depending on where you have your mids crossed at is where you want this to be set (generally 60-80Hz, but some do gas high as 100Hz). Ask the person who built the box for you to give you the plans for it and somebody on here could tell you what it is tuned to and the exact volume if you dont trust buddy.

    need a quality amplifier

    What is the voice coil configuration of your subs, do you need the power at 1 ohm or 2 ohms?

    Crown Royal????

    I hate chasers with my liquor, rather have it straight any day with 2 or 3 ice cubes depending on size. I definitely enjoy my Crown Royal and Hennessey the most.

    Fi BTL amplifire

    That had nothing to do with the amp more so user error, I wouldnt get one of those amps but that is not the reason why.
