I've got a 15' Bl fully loaded in 3 cubs also.... I turned mine around in a 04 Taurus and not it wasn't louder only gain was the bass seemed to be a bit more punchy with double bass kicks in some hard core grunge metal type music but thats about it if your into rap I would proly leave it

Hey guys first time post, but def. not new to the car audio thing. This is the first time I have used FI products and I was wondering if it is normal to smell just a little coil when the sub in new (mine has only like 1 week of use on it). Im pushing it with a Elemental Designs Nine.1 its underrated at 1200wrms @ 12.5 vdc no clipped signal I checked with the o scope at college im gettin a good clean 7.3 volts from the preouts. I want to push about 1500wrms to it but im gun shy with the coil thing...can she take more or should I just get one more to feed my 30htz @ 140db addiction??

Oh no no, I had my professor use a tone generator on the amp with an imput of 7.2 because the the amp has a max input of 8 volts. I just wanted to keep E.d. honest with their power claims. Even when we subed in the tone generator as the head unit still I got the damn coil smell. My HU is a pioneer DEH-P800PRS thats got 5 volt pre outs. when I FIRST got the sub in the car I just did it by ear turn up the hu 75% and the back it of.... (you get the Idea) then after couple days just redid it with a Fluke 87V DMM and a fluke amp clamp just got it within 50watts +/- of 1300watts sooooo.... yeah All I really want to know is if its guna be ok then screw it ill crank it and have no mercy on the thing,

ohhh sry its a FI bl 15 fully loaded

I have a 04' Taurus with the same 130 alt as your truck (they share parts) and im running a FI bl15 fully loaded on a Elemental designs nine.1 @ about 1400wrms also with a eclipse 400wrms 4ch. at idle their is a bit to be desired but 1000rpm and up its 13.8 volts and higher all the time..all I have is a yellow top and 0 guage for the big 3
