There is a Buils logs Section. Take a look, it's easy !

You can have 2 12"s GCONs on a 1500 w amp and be veeeerrrryyyyy happy. Don't need to get a Zcon to save money !

No need to fix case again. He did it as Mechman would. It was a case failure that was covered by the warranty. Mechman had a problem with some alt at this time, as they told us. But for any mods, I know there would be a bill to pay. Slavery is finished, every work need to be paid, Nothing is free in this world !!!

Good choice : the Icon plays music very well:) I had one, and I loved it.

I saw my friend this week end, and he told me he tried to disconnect a wire on the alt plug, and now it "seems" to work. But he doesn't feel safe at all ! Another friend of us bought a Mechman alt, when he saw they could deliver here (!!!), he is happy with it for now. I think Mechman sold at least 2 alts for some locals since I bought this one for the VW golf!!!

Thank you very much !

Why 0.5 Ohm ? For more power ? Your box is big enough to use less power. I don't know, just a guess !

Bump Because no help !

LOL ! He is just asking for info about an amp he is willing to buy. Unless I've read it wrong. Ooh, you got it pmureika !

I love this car ! No problem with the subs & port so close to the trunk lid ? Good luck OP ! I listened recently to an install with 2 bl 12" on 3000 watts : it slams !!! even on the first minutes of play with the brand new subs. It will be better after some playing time.

The bigger box will make you happier than a new amp. I had my btl 12" on a 1500 w amp. I tried a 3000 w amp with the same box. I was not satisfied with the output. I couldn't even notice the change. So I put back my 1500 w amp. And then build a new box : bigger, tuned a little higher, changed port direction, with a "kerfed effect". I love it. Sounds gooood and way louder. I went from 135.xx to 139.xx db.

How do you say that in English ? Badass !!! What do you have for mids and highs ? I don't see a lot of speakers, but I can hear them

Mainstream brands or not, all subs are made to be played in in their right enclosure. The brands you find here give you more info about how to run their subs, but the mainstream subs are the same. It would be nice if you could find more room for the enclosure. But if you can go with an SSA Gcon : go for it. You'll love it. I had an Icon and it was monderful !!!

Welcome to SSA. Read the rules. You may have to post elsewhere before. There are some good box designers here : DC creation (Pro Rabbit) or Ryan (RAM Designs). Good luck !

800, 1000, 1300 watts rms : your ears won't feel any difference. So, don't focus on power. Unless you double the power, it's useless to have the more powerful amp for your speakers. Focus on a good custom box, as it plays a huge factor in how the sub will sound.

They won't sound like your Dahlquist. good point on supporting your local dealer. I try to when I can, but the choice is very limited. Hopefully, we have Focal and Davis speakers to listen to. I bought my focal set after a demo on a board. They were sounding so good, I bought them with confidence !!!My old set was on the display too, so I could easily make a comparison. I always wonder why the local b & m shops don't work on boards to do demo. They can make you sell more products, and more expensive ones easier. This forum has a very good store too.

I've never used Skar products, but I hate the name ! even if I don't speak english fluently !!! It's a bit scary !!!

Do you know who is Aaron ? I don't remember what he's running in his car, but I'm sure he has SSA sub(s) !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks real nice ! I love it !! Needs more blue on the box, instead of all that black carpet.

Thanks for sharing.

Clean box ! What amp will you buy ?

Happy birthday Bon anniversaire !!! And again, your car is fantastic !!!
