    What subs should I go with?

    Yeah, I figured that would be the answer I'd get. lol At any rate, I was looking in the Sundown section at the Z15 closeouts, if theres any left that seems like something I'd be interested in. Looks like he only has D2's left so I'd have to get a larger amp and run 2 ohm or strap 2 amps... But I suppose the money I'd save over another brand would even out. If you get a d2 you can run it at 1 or 4 ohms: Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, One 2 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speaker

    Fi Q 15" No Sound :(

    Gotta be patient, they will get to you when they can. Im pretty sure they dedicate only so much time to forums and emails vs. actually building subwoofers and getting orders taken care of. I doubt you can recone a Q to a BL since a recone does not affect the motor and what not.

    Battery Ratings and Info

  6. Your sub could be ran at 1 ohms or 4 ohms, so you could of got any amp that does 1000watts at 1 ohms but with that JL amp make sure you wire your sub to 4 ohms only.

    Upgrading from BL 15" to BTL 15"

    For batteries check out this topic, may be a better route then getting a optima yellowtop and a secondary battery: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/I-Have-XXXXXXX-watt-sytem-t35690.html

    shuriken batteries

    x2, they should work well (I only know of a couple people using them as starting batteries).

    suggestion

    First of all welcome and glad you could join us First were gonna need to know some more information such as amplifiers you will be running, budget for subs, electrical upgrades to the car if any? What vehicle or how much space do you have? The power levels you can throw at your subs depend on listening levels, the size of the enclosure, just for music or burps and etc. There is no such thing as underpowering a sub, a sub doesnt need double or triple its rms to show its output. Any sub in its recommended enclosure with rms power will sound good and get loud to its capabilities. Sure they could probably take more than rms but it all depends on a lot of factors, hence stated above. Talk to IA and ask them what there limits are and under what conditions dont let a You Tube video mes up your equipment, somebody with that amount of power has there system set around the amount of power there sending there subs.

    z15

    It is the other way around, the D4's are low (almost or are sold out) the D2's still remain.

    mids/highs 2ohm vs 4ohm

    but i thought when the impedance is higher, the amp has more control over the cone... resulting in more accurate reproduction?... How do you figure?
  12. jcarter1885

    Sundown EXACT same as IA and RD amps??

    No there not, amps made overseas.

    Lots of 18s

    A pair of B&C neo 12" mids and a pair of Selenium st350 super tweeters. How are those Selenium ST350 super tweeters, Im thinking of running some ID Horns with some 8" mids and those keep showing up in builds? Are they extra sharp and piercing?

    400 watts to use on ssa goodness

    It also depends on the subs being used and setups because not always will 2-12"s be louder than 1-15" but most of the time yeah it should with the same amount of power being used in both setups.

    How much power should i send

    Depends on a lot of factors: box size, the options you choose, your listening levels. Anywhere from 1000-2000rms but too many factors to tell with the lack of information you gave us.

    kole audio amplifier ?

    x2, or use a reducer on your 1/0 gauge wire to 4 gauge wire to make it fit. Kole Audio is not an ok brand.

    l7 kicker

    You are on the internet. Look it up dude. I can tell you from experience that they are all 750rms though. x2, search is your best friend before asking questions on this forum you will be amazed how much info is on the internet.
