That looks more like a budget for a single pair of speakers : a serious set. You can choose the BOSE route : easy, you'll love it. But there is better out there. You can also buy a pair of speakers and a single subwoofer (no need to run 15" or 18" subs, unless your room is huuuuge). You'll get a second pair of speakers later. I don't know if you already have an A/V amplifier.

Nice ! I don't see so often 6th order bandpass boxes. How does it sound ? Are you satisfied with it ? what do you have for mids & highs ?

Can you just use the amp you already have, and step your budget up for the speakers, and sound deadener if needed ? You will find a good deal on an amp later. It is hard to tell you what to buy. Go listen to what you can, in shops, in friends cars, and tell us what you liked or disliked. Then people will be able to help you . I like Focal sets, but they can be expensive. I'd like to listen to the JBL GTI 608 sets : I found one set for $209 recently on eBay, but I don't need one, so I did not get it. I'm sure they can be loud, and sound good. But who can say he will like those, without listening ? They were much more expensive when they were new on the market.

You have great ideas. I'm tuned in. I might want to try those products. the "dsp" can be a nice plus to my system. I'm waiting for the speakers too ;-)

With a box tuned low like that, he is obviously not chasing numbers I did the same score with a 12" btl n2 on 1500 w ! But who cares, if it sounds good to you ?!! I'd like to listen to some Ethos.... Enjoy your setup, play music and have fun. You will be louder in the future, for sure ! (if you want so).

I received a big amp from Fedex, and I realized the box was wet when I got it. Fedex told me to fill a claim immediately, and they took pictures of the package. (I received the amplifier at their office). Hopefully the amp was not wet, only the packaging, so everything worked fine. I did not fill no claim. How can you blame SSA for a shipping issue ? Isn't it UPS problem ? There is something or someone wrong somewhere !

The JBL is huge ! But the ZEDs are so sweet :-) Can you post more pics please ?!

Tuned in. We don't find those Hondas here, it looks nice. But that is a lot of work to fit a head unit. Congratulations ;-)

Your car wil hate you, but you'll love it, I guess so !

We have this sub in my country. It is veeery expensive here ! I listened to it in several boxes, some designed by Ram-Designs too. I've never liked it. It can move a lot of air, it can do big numbers, but I never found it musical. A friend of mine had 2 of them, each in a 5 or 6 ft3 box, at 35 Hz.. When he switched to 4 Fi BTL N2, his first reaction was : "wow, I can play music, now!!!". I guess you know how to run them. Good luck.

Tuned in ! You made this truck look good. 2 18s would have been cool. But 4 ? That will be insane !!! That 3k5 seems so small in front of those 2 monster subs :-) :-)

They say expensive equipments will not always be the best, but I'd rather pay for good quality products...when I can.

About 1.5 month for my Zcon : I live in a foreign country, with 10 shipping days. So you should not wait too long. My order was made during sales, so it was longer as usual. Don't even try to send emails, just wait. It's hard, but worth it !

Don't put the amp on the box, it will be too hard to take the box out when you need it. With the amp off the box you only need to disconnect + and -. Personnally, I'd run the Havoc in the ported box, I'd put both amps on the back of the rear seats (the bigger one), and that's it. The cargo area is huge for a 12" sub ! Watch your voltage, do the big3. Your alternator is not so small, it will be enough to play some good music when driving.

Forget the rear speakers, and focus on a front stage. Maybe you don't need such a big an expensive amplifier. A good 2 channel amp (150 x 2), or a small 4 channel amp, should be nice on a serious comp set ! It's just an idea, not a must !

Did you try to turn down the rear speakers ? The first time I did it, I suddenly found my sub had a better sound, and my front stage too. It was surprinsing. Each time I change the position of the box, I feel a change in the sound. Did you try to move it a bit ? Good luck ! BTW a 15 L7 in 1.5 ft3 sealed box must be super boomy ! I had one in 2.something net, and I hated it. I liked it in a 5ft3 sealed box !!!

I like GTIs ! Very good cars. Tuned in for more pics ;-) Why do you want a new box ? This one looks good, for a few hours work ;-)

ROFL !!! What head unit are you running ? Is it a Pioneer, with the pico fuse problem ?

He runs 2 "small" amplifiers. And he already has two batteries. I don't know if he did the big3, but I can't understand why he has major voltage drops. There must be a problem somewhere. I'm not an expert at all. Of course running the biggest alternator you can will always be a good thing. Especially if you run a 3500 watts amplifier. You will need more or bigger batteries too. Good luck.

That Fusion really looks like an Aston Martin ! Beautiful You did a great job. Downsizing to 12"s just to add more batts ? ......surprising ;-)

Zcon received ! what a beast !!! 1.5 month to the Caribbeans ! Not so long finally. Thanks SSA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Send it to DD. They should be able to rebuild it like new !

Will you order a DVC 1 sub, and strap the amps for a 2 Ohm final load ? Show us some pics, when done, plz.
