That is what im going with after talking to ///M5 on my listening taste and preferences, that setup would fits my goals well.

Yup! PPI and Orion before ADST and Directed. Hi-Fonics and Crunch before Maxxsonics. Phoenix Gold before Rodin and AAMP. Soundstream before Epislon Electronics and Rockford Fosgate Punch and HD series. All old school amps I run Sundown now because I wanted to try something other than mainstream and glad that I did! x2, wanted to venture away from mainstream and was looking at getting an Audioque AQ2200D then seen the Sundown on Presale for a few dollars more and jumped on the Sundown SAZ-2000D and then got a Sundown SAX-125.2, havent turned back yet. I also wanted to get one of the newer lines of Zed Audio Amps but they werent out yet with a sketchy time of release when I needed an amp but still will get some in the future. For my car it will be Zed or Sundown Audio for amps and KnuKonceptz for my wiring and rca needs (I found a good company and gonna stick with them), the only bias I have for equipment is what will be ran in my car.

It doesn't? Then y can i not just keep my stock battery to run my system? i guess i don't understand that? because im sure that if i put 2 type r alpines in my car then it would be 10x's different and there would be no call for an after market battery :/ sorry to say it but i think the fact that i have an 18" BTL dual 2 makes all the difference in the world. you see im running 3850 watts "roughly" through my 18" and that comes into play with how much power i need but that's the thing i don't know i have no idea how much power i should have because the BTL Fi could draw from that battery faster (which it will) then a normal subwoofer like the alpines. but how much is the question of which i do not know. so how much will the BTL Fi's draw is how much power i need. which comes to play with 1 or 2 batteries. and what size. Just for an FYI, the amp determines the battery(s) you will need and not the sub. Considering the sub does not make power it only accepts it, the amp makes the power so it takes power to make power. But the sub will determine what amp you will put on it, the only thing that will determine battery size is the amp(s) that will be used in the setup.

Get Dual 2ohm subwoofers for a 2 ohm load:

Some bass , now that is classic.

When it comes to amps you need to buy one that will suit your needs, either you can get one so you dont have to up your electrical ouput or you have to make a decision if you do get a powerful amp that you will have to upgrade your electrical. So after making that decision then set a budget for your amp and find one that fits your goals, its that simple. You can even get a 2000watt amp or better, no problem with having headroom as long as you set your gains right. But first set goals for your system and then make decisions on an amp that will help you reach that goal.

Depending on the size of the box it can be good price but you still can build your own cheaper. Car audio is all about compromise so yeah a sealed box will due (if your sub can be in a sealed box) until you get what you want, I wouldnt do the prefab box because that is 70 that you could of spent on a custom box.

Well wait, you cant listen to it anyway and you dont have your license to April so there is no time to rush a box. Either wait till somebody gets back to you, build it yourself or get one done locally. The more impatient you are is not going to get your box fixed any faster, so just be patient and wait till someone gets back to you. I would make a temporary box so you can have something until the one you want gets built if your that much in a hurry.

Bromo I need your help, Im glad I made a mock box before I put it in the car. If you could bring the width to 33"W x 19"D x 16"H tuned to 30Hz with a single baffle and one at 33"W x 18"D x 16"H tuned to 30Hz with a single baffle (I will decide on one between those two). Thanks Again.

It has to do with the car's having two different type's of cabin gain and frequency resonance, plus the altrenator was bigger giving your amp more power (either one of those or all of those played a factor into the sound difference). Putting a setup in one car and then another car will yield different results all the time.

From my understanding if your competing then that will help you out with a few more tenths on the meter thats all, wont be noticeable to the ear.

You cant really compare subs since they are all made with different goals in mind, you cant go wrong with any subs on this forum as long as there in there recommended enclosure you will get great output and performance from them.

That is going to come down to a coin toss, the only reason why I would pick the Sundown over the Rockford Fosgate is that it doesnt have an adjustable sub sonic filter. So that will only give you a small range for you to tune your ported box too, which can be a downfall to some.

Brett Farve better not start that again this year, after today's game and all those hits he took I think this will be his last year. Plus he made it one game away from the Super Bowl, he knows he doesnt have it in him again and this is the best way to retire. I know he would of wanted a Super Bowl but at least he had one more chance at one if it wasnt for all those turnovers.

Drew Brees deserves to win the Super Bowl, lets go Saints.

Vikings better learn ball control or this one is over folks, 4 fumbles in the span of one quarter by the same team (has to be a playoff record).

Fucking hilarious, "who would say no to a lap dance from a fruit snack scented stripper". I havent had a laugh all day and this one takes the cake for the week.

Definitely stop bumping so hard at idle, that is voltage killer right there. I wouldnt put that Hifonics BXI-2610D on that Kinetik 1200, your gonna need a bigger battery depending on your listening habits (I can tell so far that it wouldnt be enough). Install a voltmeter and bigger secondary battery and monitor your voltage then go from there since all car's electrical will act different, but that should be a start.

Welcome and glad you could join us for posting, to upload a file I usually upload it from my computer to a gallery I created on this forum. Then I copy the pictures link and on the posting toolbar there is an image icon (look like a picture with a tree in it), click on that an paste image in the empty bar and click on insert image.

Sounds like it is going to be a beast.

Keep up the good work, only 5 tenths away from the goal. Let us in on the tweaks you have done or will do to reach that 160db's goal.

Finally sat down to watch the video, that is ridiculous Jacob with just one 8" subwoofer.

Will you have any other amps in the car besides the Sundown, if not then adding a yellowtop will due or any other battery equivalent to that.

One thing I can count on from Peyton Manning is he will play to the end, that is the difference between champions and average players (Jets, full of average players).

Thanks for the excellent feedback man, I try to help out where I can (never know when I will need your assistance since I dont have all the answers).
