Nothing much just getting things sold, finally got all my speakers sold besides 3 of them. Just purchased 60 ft. of speaker wire, distribution blocks, finally got all my rca's. I just want to make sure I got all the small things taken care of so once I start I wont have to stop and put things back together just for something small. Once all the small pieces are acquired then I will be getting the big things done, but right now Im looking for a job also so this build will have slow progress but I will get pictures up of the goods I have so far real soon.

I would be weary about purchasing an alt for 250 amps at $268, just my .02.

Since it seems like your stuck on the RD then get it but no body can tell you which one is better, the only way to tell is to buy both and test them. When it comes to car audio you gotta compromise and if that doesn work then flip a coin, that is the only way you will be able to make a decision especially if it only comes down to two drivers.

Welcome and glad you could join us

This shouldnt matter when your purchasing it, Rockford Fosgate's are good amplifiers (make sure it has a variable sub sonic filter or you wont have a lot of options for tuning your enclosure). It has enough power, like said before make sure you have the electrical to back it up and you will have nice setup.

You can port any size driver, I have seen a 6.5" driver ported before.

I would only flip it around if you can get the port and subwoofer firing directly inside the cabin and not blocked by the trunk and cabin seperator and if you plan on properly sealing it so all the waves go directly into the cabin. Just my .02

x2, I would personally shoot for a 12" with that size trunk, plus it will leave you with some more room for other things

Yeah the BTL will be louder than the BL on the same amount of watts, yeah it is a shot in the dark when ordering products you havent heard. I was done that route 3 months ago before I purchased my Sundown Z-15 but after all the good reviews I said forget and went with it. You will never know unless you take a chance on it, the same way with girls you will never know until you take a chance. But most companies on here and including FI will never steer you wrong when making a sub purchase. I asked almost everybody on here about advice or reviews on there woofers and then asked them to compare them to what they have dealt with previously. For shipping just put it in your cart and go through the checkout process like normally and stop once you figure out the shipping amount.

Nice Car, I love BMW's.

Well go out and measure how much space you have, give us your max dimensions you have available for a box (height, width and depth).

You cant wire them to 2 ohms, either 1 or 4 ohms Subwoofer Wiring www.the12volt.com

Electrical for an SAE-1200D I would suggest you get a voltmeter to monitor voltage and do the Big 3, depending on your factory alternator size it will determine the rest of that information. It is hard for us to tell you what all you might need since your car may or may not be able to handle it, also what other amps will you be using. Im thinking you may just need an extra battery and thats it.

Yeah Tampa and Miami are two different places from where I went to school at, enjoy yourself that is all I can say. Make sure you work hard and play harder, that has always been my goal.

And Sir-Lancelot that is all that matters since it is your system, your money and it really does boil down to how you treat your equipment at the end of the day. I was in the boat everyone was a year ago, Hifonics BXI-2610D vs. Audioque 2200D vs. MB Quart DSC 2000.1D. Luckily Sundown had the presale on the SAZ-2000D and didnt look back after that, so yeah everyone has a budget that is why I say take our opinions in since people ask questions but it is up to that person to make the decision for themselves. Any amp will work fine in those conditions just make sure you use your amplifier for the purpose it was intended for and dont try to exceed its' capabilities and it will last you for some time now.

We cant recommend anything until you state goals and a budget for each piece of equipment you want to add to your car. Please give us more info to work with so people wont keep throwing out guesses, we need t make this topic a more productive one for you.

I went to Florida A&M Univeristy for the School of Business and Industry (one of the best, well used to be has kinda went down hill after the dean who founded it left but it is getting better). In that area there is Florida State Universtiy and Tallahasee Community College sitting the nice small town of Tallahassee. If I must say one of the best places to go to school no matter which school you choose, I really enjoyed my time out there and thinking about going back for Grad School, depends on the cost vs. going to school here in Texas.

it sounds like he is looking to be as loud as possible and 2 12's should be louder than 1 15 if put into the proper enclosures. the single 15 would be cheaper but the 2 12's should be louder and still fit into his price range so thats why i suggested that route instead of a single 15. Not neccessarily, but most instances you are right (more cone area does equal louder) but it depends on the equipment being used also.

Stop comparing the size of the woofers as what to get and look at the space available. In some instances 2-12"s can be louder than a single 15" and then vice versa. First figure out how much room you have available for an enclosure minus the extra battery, amps and airflow around the box to get into the cabin. Then decide on your budget, then your goals and listening levels, then start deciding one equipment to run with?

exactly, same shit here, lol it's depressing and my mother wonders why i want to go to college in florida Do it, that is where I attended college. What school(s) are you thinking about considering?

x2, dont do dual 15''s in that trunk.

In March or April I believe cant remember exactly when though.

Good read and thanks, I like the Zed Amps and want one just no room for one in my current application but I will be buying one just for use in the future.

Yeah Congrats Tmax98, have a blast and party hard for all that work you put in.

Happy 4k! Thanks since I didnt even notice it at all. Glad you took to heart our conversations and more importantly glad you can hear the difference for yourself as your stereo is for you. I couldnt have done it without you guys help.
