Need more information than what your giving, if you want the best possible answers. What electrical upgrades have you done to the car? What other equipment will be in the car? First step make sure you do the Big 3 (if you dont know what is, do some research about it online plenty of pictures and info on it). Enclosure Recommendations: •Sealed: 1.00 cu.ft. •Sealed: 1.35 cu.ft. optimal •Ported: 1.90 cu.ft. @ 27-33 hz •Ported: 2.50 cu.ft. @ 27-33hz opt.

x2, lets get some more info because that doesnt sound right to me (and if your box is tuned to 32-33Hz, then why is your subsonic set higher than box tuning even though that shouldnt be the problem), some else is wrong in the equation.
-
you may hear a lil difference, but a majority of the difference that you'll hear is from the enclosure as it's 80% of an install. i'd go with what memphis mzd said on port area. maybe a slightly smaller box tho, and maybe even a tad less port area per foot. tune 32-35 hz. i know you said you're jobless, but if you could get ahold of some aeros that'd be more efficient than a slot/square port and save some volume so you may be able to keep your back seats still, depending on how big the box needs to be He wants some incredible lows, so tuning at 32-35Hz just isnt what he wants.

Your answering your own question here, If you do the Big Three and your still getting dimming then yes you need to get another battery or upgrade your alternator(that simple). Look at alternator and their is a wire bolted on to a terminal, unscrew the bolt put the upgraded wire on (screw the bolt back down) and run the wire to the battery's positive terminal. Look at the pictures and there are lots of pictures online showing exactly how its down (look at a lot of them so you know what your doing and wont fuck up nothing).

ok, you already got 2 12 subs. and You need more !! Listen to nmssd12 : you can find great combos there. Icon-saz1000 or Xcon-saz1500 : it's up to you. Don't forget you may need another size of power and ground cable (0 ga). Forget about the solo x : I think it's a spl competition sub, not so good for playing music, and it needs a 5000 watts amp!!!!!!! Keep on reading on the different forums here. Bad advice on Solo X (wont really take that much power daily) and they can be used for daily, but I wouldnt get one either. OP that combo deal sounds nice, look into making your own box (people on here will help you), get wires, upgrade Big 3.

Im digging the Team IAK banner .

People have been doing that lately and I dont understand why, they will ask a question and when we give them the answer they werent looking for they still do what they want to do (minus well not even made this topic).
-
If that is 8ft^3 before displacements (subs, bracing and port area) then you wasted your money because your box is going to be horrible small for 2-15" BLs (should of waited or tried to design box first before buying subwoofers). The only way I think they will get the box they deserve is with inverted mounting and aero ports. Just my .02

Wiring for my amps..
jcarter1885 replied to Nvr2loud22's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
More info will be needed besides Im running 2000 watts, what battery will be needed. Read noob posting guidelines so you have an understanding on how to get accurate answers and the most positive feedback. -
what about if he has some sort of support in the box. im building a new box and i didnt want to double baffle it. im going to make a counter sink so i didnt want three layers on top of my box. could i just put dowels inside of it to keep it strong? Any material can be used for support (metal rods, dowels, 2x4's, etc.).

jcarter1885 replied to Tre The Truth's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Yeah they should be ok, just use your ears to notice when your pushing or stressing the drivers to much. -
What are you saying, that the amp didnt put out full power when testing it? Give us some more info about the testing process and results.

jcarter1885 replied to Tre The Truth's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
It depends on how you want them ran, the impedence of the speakers and impedence of the amp. For example if your running a set of 4 ohm speakers to each channel for a 4 ohm load, then you would run the one speaker to terminal 1(channel 1, positive wire goes to positive terminal and negative wire goes to negative terminal) and so on for speaker #2. -
Well at least you have a plan and plenty of time to make decisions final. Glad you got the amp rack together and wires are looking much better tied down.

Glad you could join us, cant wait to install my SAZ-2000D.

Nope, I was researching some amps, and this was the only place with any info on it. x2, I was on youtube and ran into some videos that had Sundown Amps and I knew I wanted one for my next subwoofer amp and now Im using it for subs and highs/mids. When I searched around for the amps I keep getting pulled to your store site and eventually ventured from the store over a year and half ago to forum.

I know its to each its own, but why those and in your car? If your just looking for loud all around there are other things out there to get the job done. -
JVC KW-NX7000 vs. Kenwood DNX-6140
jcarter1885 replied to chainsaw's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Which headunit did you order? -
x2, yeah to me it looks like they will suck on the lows (well from 50Hz on down they cant play). This is I guess what you will call a SPL sub with no musical bone in its body.
-
enjoy your purchase and play nice, just playing bang away.

You get what you pay for, thats what is wrong with the $50 detectors (I personally think they are a waste of money, I use my eyes to notice cops and if its to late than thats what I get for speeding and getting caught).

Do some research about the enclosure and the type first to see if its what you need.
