Sir-Lancelot

Right now I have the following Fosgate equipment 2 1000.1bd 1 450.4 I have 4ga power/ground throught, Optima red top under hood and Optima yellow top in back. One more yellow top for the new install, but n/a with this problem.

SSA then dump that prefab box in a pond and build a real box.

look at thor's set up, He is pulling serious numbers with 2 DC 10's. 2 10's / 4 8's and keep you whole seat.

probably the excess glue around your voice coil. Most new subs have that smell for a few days. If it's not an electrical smell, it will probably go away. If it does not, then it could be a problem later.

The infinity references use textile (soft) dome tweets. I had the reference line about 5 years ago and they weren't bad. The midrange was pretty good, upper midbass was good, but it couldn't go too low. The tweeter was good enough until you pushed its limits a little bit, then the sibilant sound came out. It's not a harsh sound like metal domes get, but it's almost equally as bad. They are a decent upgrade from stock most likely and really aren't bad for the price at all, but if you want great sound, save up a little more. You sir are correct. They are indeed textile dome, but you would never know it by their sound. Sorry to mislead the OP.

Does not hurt to dream, but I agree with Notorious. Neither of you seem to have any idea how much it costs to build something that will power 2 18's much less 4 of them.

I had the Reference 6.5's and the tweeters are brutal when you turn the volume up. I took them out about a month later and replaced them with a set of Boston Pro 60's. They are somewhat better, but not for what they cost. I have come to the realization that hard dome tweeters are just not for me. I am not trying to be negative, you may like them and I hope you do.

Check your grounds

Curious to hear your thoughts when you install them. I am going to do something similar to get some more mid bass in my Yukon and these look like they will be an option. What Tweeter were you thinking about pairing with these?

When I was saying an HO alt I was just referring to an alt in the 130-150 amp range. I thought you had to have a battery isolator between batteries? I would still try it with the big 3, extra battery, and the stock alt. I am a big fan of not spending money just for the hell of it. If your stock alt gives up, buy a larger one. If your voltage drops too low, buy the alt. It could be years or never before you would need it. It's your money do as you wish, but thats how I would do it. Fix things that you know are broke and leave well enough alone. An isolator would only be useful if you want to play your radio with the ignition off and that would ruin your batteries and amps.

I dont have one between mine, just fuses. Granted my stock alt is much larger than your 90, but still it's not that much power you are talking about. Maybe others will chime in to correct me, but my opinion is you wont need the HO alt or the isolator and if it was me I would try it without first before spending $$ for the hell of it.

every single one of them can, buy the biggest one your budget allows and set gains accordingly.

I think you would be fine with just the big 3 in 1/0 ga. and the two batteries. Try it without HO alt firt. Thats not that much power really. Why do you need a battery isolator?

Big 3 should do it, and add a battery if you see a voltage drop. I personally like to have a bat close to the amp if needed or not. Amps do not like low voltage. My Fosgates are 5/6 years old and are still as good as the day I bought them.

Ask your cousin to give us more information. Car? Big 3 done? Extra battery? Car?

Fi BL or BTL = sound pretty good and can get very loud. I have never listened to a niteshade, but since it's already in your sig, roll with it and let us know how you like it. Edit to add, I have 15" Xcons and I love them and the 3500D would be perfect for them, but was not sure that is what is right for you and a SPL goal.

Damn man, that is crazy!

to Gfronty. You would be surprised how many people do not say thank you anymore, so to you too.

I would say listen to a few sets and go from there. I have been through few sets of comps recently and have realized that I just do not like metal dome tweeters no matter how much they cost. The metal dome tweeters I have owned all sound harsh as hell when you turn them up and ruin it for me. I believe my next set to try will be some Image Dynamics or possibly going active.

The paint looks very nice. I have thought about taking the carpet off my box and painting mine like you did. Good job, now hurry up and get a pic with the box in the truck.

The one that fits in your car with a proper size box.

some american pros they are 500 watts I'm sorry.

The kenwood excelon kdc-x 493 is less than $150.00 and it's a pretty nice HU. Skip the BTL, your budget wont allow it. Now you have $1450 to spend. SSA store combo deal 15" Icon/1000D Sundown $580. Nice component speakers $300 Sundown 50.4 is on sale $200 You now have money left over to buy RCA's, wire, etc.

much, better use. of punctuation i am impressed?
