Just take your time, and work form the source to the speakers, and cancel out one thing at a time. I'll try throwing the sub on my buddies car tomorrow so I can eliminate that if possible. Will report back tomorrow. Thanks guys. Just to let you know I had this same where the bass would cut in and out when it would hit hard, so I took my system apart and found out that the ground wire for my equalizer was loose and keep popping in and out of the terminal on the EQ. I rewired and connected to where it couldnt happen again, this fixed all my problems so hopefully it is a wiring/connection problem. Good Luck

Glad you could join us Mike.

This is gonna be a nasty build, cant wait till the wood starts to get laid and glued together ( im tuned in).

Glad you could join us.

Well since you stated a budget this combo will suit you well: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/SSA-Icon-15D2-%252b-Sundown-SAZ%252d1000D-Combo.html

Thats real professional of you to come on here and give him a design for a box, I like your style. Keep up the good work and cant wait for IXL in dual 4 ohms.

Yeah me too, I have been trying to design the best box for 2-12" in the future. What program did you use, just curious? I use a Box Calculator that I downloaded from a member on this forum, cant remember his name though.

Didnt know you were making a box for him, my fault hdrox88.

I came up with this design, tell me how it sounds to you: Outside = 14"H x 39"W x 14"D Inside = 12.5"H x 37.5"W x 12.5"D Port = 12.5"H x 2.5"W x 22"L (31.25in^2 of Port Area) Port Area Range = 30 - 40in^2 Sub Displacement = 0.18ft^3 Port Displacement = 0.71ft^3 2.50ft^3 @ 32.02Hz

That crown vic will be exclusive since I never seen a wall in one before, good luck man.

Some people just dont learn that it would get you a vacation from the site to make two topics on the same thing or have the patience to wait for the answers they want or need.

BMW has always been my favorite luxury cars next to cadillacs, ///M5 and Sanders great looking cars.

4 18 BTL's and 10000 watts doesnt sound anything like sq. I dont know much but I know that. Maybe you just got those two words mixed up? No I don't have it mixed up. I've had big system before and they have to sound like crap. But I think we are missing the subject. What is the opt. Size enclosure for these subs. OK well then go with what FI says. About 5-10 cuft at around 32hz for daily if I remember correctly.. I see most people putting them in 7-8 cuft. But 10000 watts doesnt sound like daily so probably tune higher in the 40's or 50's. Ok, thanks. I think I'll try 6cu. Per woofer tuned at@ 26hz. I'll be firing the woofer and port upward in a 92 suburban. What's your thuoghts? Why would you tune your port lower than what FI recommends and what bigrank916 said, if your gonna build it the way you want to then it really is no point in coming on here asking questions? Tune in to 30-35Hz for daily and higher for competitions.

x2, get the dual 1 ohm subs and wire them in series up to 2 ohms each and they will see a final load of 1 ohm(the saz1500d is one ohm stable so you will be set). Okay thanks, Seeming how i may need to upgrade some electrical, i plan on buying a new battery for my car, what kind of abattery should i go with? i heard optima red tops are good, would this be good enough to power the amp and what not? or would i have to get a HO alternator also? Thanks Yeah upgrade your Big Three wiring, your gonna need an extra battery to go with your stock battery. You shouldnt need an H/0 alternator, what other equipment will you be running and what car is it going in?

So after listening to M5 and a couple other people on this forum who made great points to remove my 6.5" speakers from my rear deck I am glad you guys opened me up to a whole different world of sound in my car. Those 2-6.5" opening allow for so much bass to come through into the cabin of my car from the trunk its ridiculous, more ouput and better sound from my subs was gained. I used to be one of those guys who wanted millions of speakers in the interior of the car no matter where I could put them. I learned that the right placement, power, control(EQ'ing) would make up for more sound than a billion speakers in the ca (one friend used to tell me before I joined this site that any speaker I through in the car no matter if it was 2" to 6" would help out with the overall sound and would benefit, I called him yesterday to disagree and tell him my new findings). I have a quick question for you guys, I am going to fiberglass my rear deck after I dampen it: #1- I will dampen the rear deck but leave the two speaker holes(factory ones) in the rear deck uncovered so I will have a way to allow more bass in my cabin since I keep my seats up most of the time when playing music or driving around. I know that everybody on this site can find an advantage or disadvantage on why things should be done to help out with car audio, would this be an advantage or disadvantage for dampening everythind on the rear deck topside(cabin) and bottomside(trunk) but leave the speaker holes open for sound and pressure to get through? If it will benefit me to leave the holes open then I will just fiberglass around it which I think will add some creativity, just wanted to ask before I started on my rear deck. Thankx for input and .02's.

What speakers do you have on the amp, how far do you have the gain knob turned up, maybe your wiring them below the amps ohm load. More information would help us help you.

Well I didnt mean you had to use the exact same speakers or brand just ask him if 2 or 3 way speaker system would do your install justice since yall will have similar sub setup (just size difference).

Take a picture of where you want to put them or the area where they can go and maybe me or someone on this forum can give you ideas. I joined the Image Dynamics forum and picked up a lot of info their and they will be able to help you with positioning (even though they recommend them under the dash maybe they can still help you position them somewhere else).

You cannot port a BTL. You mean you cannot seal a BTL.

Your sensitivity is going back down, also check these out: http://www.eminence-speaker.com/Imgs/proaudio_proseries_03.jpg , I can do you $30 a speaker if interested and I have 4,6 or 8 of them. That price is great, and looks aren't everything.... But these will be completely visible. And the paper cone is the only thing holding me back. I do understand you on that, well if you look at my gallery the speakers in my door with the grills over them are the Eminence's (if you want to cover them up thatsa plus, there is things out their to treat the cones if need be). Its only a suggestion, keep looking.

Look with something with more sensitivity, a speaker with a sensitivity of 86db compared to one with 90db (it will take almost 2-4 of the 86db sensitivity speakers to reach the same output of one 90db speaker with the same amount of watts). This is a little higher in price, but has a 88db sensitivity. http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=45_228_256&products_id=1464 I believe the mach 6 audio mli-65 will be cheaper with a 89db sensitivity (SSA.com under the store section). How much are you looking to spend, what amp will they go on and how many do you want?

I don't have any new messages..... I am thinking about a couple of these for tweeters. http://madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1358 And still not set on midranges... but I like these low prices a lot. I was really considering the ID horns for ~400 If you want those alpha's I have I could shoot you a deal. Those tweeters should do a good job since they have a high sensitivity and it looks like they will shine more at 3,500Hz @ 45watts just by looking at the graph. Those horns would be a great choice also.

Check your email man, tried to pm you but it didnt work.
