man I wanna download that box as my avatar, I cant wait to see the videos of these in action. keep up the build and good luck

Well thats what you guys feel and I feel anoher way and I didnt tell him to tune that low just told him how low mine is tune and it sounds great, my subs play everythng at that level great. Even when sitting next to my friend with the same setup but his tuned at 30Hz, on certain songs my subs hit notes lower than his which I luv and he luvs, so like i said everyone has their preference. I wish you could hear it but even if you did you would still have something negative to say. But everyone has to be right and thats cool, Ive seen people tuned to 27 or 28Hz but its funny that Im at 26Hz and im wrong and my install is pointless and absurd. why even make test tone cd's that go that low if anythng 26Hz or under is absurd, why does Image Dynamics rate their subs frequency all the way down to 10 Hz (now I definatly wouldnt tune my box lower than 25 Hz if I had an Image Dynamic sub), someone exlain this to me so I can feel wrong. I know you cant hear the lower Hz but your car can damn sure feel them and I luv to see my car taking on those low hertz. Dustin, The only problem with tuning low is that it's gonna take more power to get louder(like a higher tuned box) but you will demolish those low notes, which is the opposite for higher tuned boxes (you will still hit the low notes) but it will take less power to get loud. My subs dance sexy in my box compare to other people's, but 26 hz which I never told you to tune to is too low for the cvx 10"s. Kicker CVX 12"s have a frequency from 20-500Hz (so 26hz is not pointless), now the 15"s frequency is from 18-500Hz (26 wouldnt be pointless in this application neither), now for the 10"s it would be pointless since the frequency is 24-500Hz. Tuning a box lower will make the bass deeper, shake all the panels on the car crazy, make the subs look like their going to jump out the box and felt from a further difference(not that I want people to feel it but thats how bass works), tuning a box higher will make the bass sound louder with less power. I even seen a dude who has 2-12" cvx's on youtube tuned to 38Hz or higher and it hits harder and is gonna get better numbers than mine due to the tuning and thats what he prefered and not what I want, to me I dont like how it sounds. I hate subs that play at 35 Hz or louder (home applications and car applications , just my .02). What you prefer is what you should tune to, determine that if you want SQ or SPL (loud hard hitting bass or low sledge hammer bass). I hope I could help you but try to listen to different boxes with different tunning and see what you prefer or what your goals are and if that fits then go for the gusto.

well considering what you want then yeah 35 hz is too low, everyone has their opinions and preferences. I luv how my cvx's sound and impress everybody who hears them, just because thats how you feel doesnt mean its the wrong thing to do. I was telling him the systems Ive heard with these speakers in them, talking from actual experience and not what I would do if it were my system. He asked a question and I answered it with experiences(factsand opinions). I really dont care about numbers, maybe when I build a system to compete then yeah I will tune 35Hz or higher but thats not me right now. Why when someone answers a question their wrong on this forum instead of just saying what you would prefer and moving on (instead of helping and providing good info from all members we would rather talk down on someones opinions and answers, I wasnt wrong I just told him what I would prefer, he said would 30 hz work as well and I said yes. Now if he wants impressive numbers then go for the 35Hz or higher. 26Hz is not absurd at all, but Im glad you feel that way.

30Hz will be the perfect medium, I have mine tuned to 26hz and Im loving them but I wouldnt recommend anybody tune that low unless you like it or listen to screwed music but I luv the lows thats why I went that route. Yeah the size of the sub wont matter, they all will play low just depends on the box. I would say go for it and have fun, plus all my friends are jealous of how low my subs get even my friend who has the two cvx 15"s; trust me they will get down and have a great time doing it.

All head units that I know say that each channel is rated at 4 ohms, almost every single infinity speaker that is made is rated at 2 ohms. Is it possible to put an infinity speaker such as Infinity Kappa 63.9i on each channel of a head unit? My friend wants to upgrade his car speakers and go with these so I wanted to know if its safe and what Infinity says is true? True Four Ohms— All Kappa speakers feature two ohm voice coils. Original factory-installed speaker wiring in many cars is 18-22 gauge. This wire, and heating in the voice coil when power is applied, increase the impedance “seen” by the amplifier or head unit. The impedance of Kappa Speakers has been adjusted to compensate for this increase and can be safely driven by any head unit. http://www.infinitysystems.com/car/products/product_detail.aspx?prod=KAPPA63.9I&cat=KAP&ser=KAP&Language=ENG&Country=US&Region=USA thanks for input.

Crutchfield says this about the product (just want someone to agree if I should do it or dont because I dont want to mess up a headunit): SLI High-Output Design: This high output 2 ohm design extracts every watt from today's high powered receivers and amplifiers, increasing overall system output and efficiency (relative to 4 ohm speakers). Important Note: These Infinity speakers use a low impedance design to pull more power safely from your car stereo or amplifier. This design is compatible with all factory and aftermarket stereos.

well put a video and pictures up, dont hide the system from us because we're family too

yeah i have heard all three size cvx's, I have 3-12's and a friend who has 2-15's. overall im very impressed with these subs(first sub I ever bought, then upgraded to a rockford fosgate p3 12", then to 2-12" cvx's to 2-12" pioneer premiers and now im back at 3-12" cvx's so you see my passion for them), any size will be good for what you want to do. I personally say do it and as long as that box is 3 ft^3 after port and sub displacement then you should be cool. since he is your brother if you dont like it better than your system you have now then Im sure he will trade back, but once you get them in a ported box and a stronger amp you will enjoy the upgrade.

yeah thats what I would do so I want cause my car any problems in the long run.

x2, I would of told her to stay in the car while I play the right song. great videos, keep up the good work

do you have any other amps in the car, for your interior speakers. if so where are you going to mount them

or just go to home depot and buy a black shelf board like i did (it will save you the time cutting and painting), works out just the same. I have my board holding my two amps for my mids & tweeters

good job man, would you like to do my trunk (just playing), enjoying the build so far

sorry about all the problems, it will come together before you know it. keep the build going and good luck

how much and when do these puppies come out jacob, loving to put three in my box

check the head unit settings, and all the connections (amp, battery, head unit and rca's). hopefully its a small trouble shooting problem.

or just buy one or two more subs since you want to use both amps so bad, and have a bad ass system. my .02

with it being powered by a Sundonw SAZ-2000d around what size box should I make it, around 4.2-4.8 ft^3 @ 30-31 Hz. thankx I designed a ported enclosure for 4.32 Ft^3 @ 30.91 Hz with 62.50 in^2 of Port Area (Range 52-69in^2) 14.47in^2/cube

Well I dont know were your going to find some good $20 subs especially 18"s, I would say check ebay.

keep it going, build just gets better and better with each picture

well i just need the displacement of a xcon 15" so I can make my final enclosure design, is it 0.21Ft^3?

You can look at Incriminator Audio 187 15"(300RMS)

Id say go for the switch and if you get them before me I would have to take a trip to hear them.

Hey SSA, I know you guys are busy with getting this forum together and Im loving what you done with the place, I was wondering when you guys were gonna update the XCONS page under subwoofers no rush but it will stop me and everyone else from asking you buys repetitive questions. Appreciate you work and effort, keep it up and bang on.

good location to mount the meter
