ohh yea for the price of these subs they are insane, i don't even know what really to compare then too. Now i am working on getting a car I can wall with 4 of these of a strapped pair of aq1200s

no i am firing the subs into the cabin and there was cancellation because of the gap around the speaker box, so i used spray foam, i found a few spots that are leaking but it made a HUGE difference

Problem solved, left everything the way it was, adjusted some settings and sealed around the box.

so what do i need to do to accomplish that?

i plan on watching how hard i push them as i want the subs to last. I listen to alot of songs like juice box, and blue berry yum yum so i want them to sound good

that is being done saturday. im going to cut the box apart piece by piece from the trunk, clean up my wiring a little and start over with the box and fire the subs/ports back or up

Ok so i think this box is too small. I was thinking about pulling them out and putting building a box for one 15. 4.0 with 60" of slot port, at 2ohm thats roughly 750-800rms of clean power to the sub(its only 300rms). I have a feeling that will do better then both of these

Well I have an AQ 1200d, I plan on running at .5ohm but with impedance rise I should be right at if not a little bit above 1ohm. I am wanting a sub that will just get nasty loud, and move some air. Its going in a 2-3^ft3 with 80sq inch of slot port. I am either going with a fully loaded SSD or stock BL....

just so i can get this right,it would be better to run the amp above what its built to run at?

well after being wired to .7ohm and box rise it will be above 1ohm........

Ok,so far a lot of testing and tweaking I cannot get my 187s to sound right or get nearly as loud as two 15s should. So I am doing a swap out, I have narrowed it down to 2-3 subs. The Fi BL d1 12, the DC sound labs level 3 D1 or this is a huge "maybe" I was recommended to try the lanzar opti drive 12..........? just trying to get some feedback and if anyone has personally used/tested any of these subs going to run it off my AQ 1200d

I wasnt sure what setting to use. That was the only setting that showed Any reading

with box rise i wont be at .5ohm and it wires down to .7ohm usually thats why i was adding all the options to the SSD to see if it was any better

I think going to a good single 12 would benefit me more. I would be able to build boxes as often as need be and just drop into the trunk VS building a box into the trunk and having to cut it apart and im sure i can get a single 12 a little if not alot louder then i currently am

thats not the opti I was looking at ........ this is what i was talking about http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=14026

anyone know of a shop that can rebuild one of the Optidrive subs to d1 VC?

my last two single 12 setups were very loud, these two 15s just arent all thats cracked up to be. i put my SE in the back seat of my car yesturday at 2ohm and it was so much louder then these two 15s it pissed me off

that still didnt fix the problem, it just got a little louder

i did a swap with a lanzar 1600 and it made a huge difference,but come to find out originally i had my SSF and LPF set incorrectly. but im still not loud, the two 15s are causing major cancellation and just aren't getting loud so im going to get a single 12 build a good box with a large enough port to move some serious air. D1 at .5ohm with box impedance rise i should be a little above 1ohm

ok cause mine read 1.0 across the board lol......

Terry Jackson USACI judge is going to take a look at the car tuesday and see if there are any obvious things I did wrong. Perhaps he can figure it out for me or adjust the settings on my HU and amp

OK now i am really confused. I don't understand how a 1ohm load is 1ohm load?

how is a 1ohm load to the amp wired wrong?

i checked i am 1ohm at the amp

i was thinking about taking out one of the round ports and using one 6" and inverting the subs to gain back some or my internal space sense the box is only 5.44 after all displacement
