The tuning of the box wont determine what your truck with peak at, not at that low of a tuning, will it? I would see if you were tuned above your peak freq (considering you already know that number from previous builds) it would change your peak tone, right?

I dont know what to think about all that... What is happening in there? lol

i would spend the extra hundred or so dollars for a company that has a positive reputation and a known name that makes solid equipment. DC or mechman is the route i'll be going.

Wow, that's funny for a 200 dolla' sub. See if Fi can do you some service.

is the tuning not relevant to the question? OP might want to post that before you make a decision.

Assuming everything sold online is crap? I don't know where you got the idea that running at 1 ohm is bad. What you wire your subs to wont determine how long they will last. What does hurt your equipment is when your electrical cant support a lower resistance, which sends a low voltage to the amps and causes all sorts of problems for everything in line. So having your amp wired at 1 ohm wont cause damage, it's when people push their electrical too hard (assuming the amp is rated for the resistance used, and tuned correctly). I've got my subs at .5 ohm, and everything has worked fine for the last couple months. You just have to know when too much is too much for your specific application. To go off of that i had my first system put in by the local shop. The amp lasted about a month or 2 because the shop had the gain to the max and the bass boost turned up. I had no idea about any of this and expected that they did (obviously not). It wasn't the equipment's fault, but my ignorance and the installer's. When you pay them good money (i think it was close to 175 to install deck, wires, and subs/amp) they should be able to tune the amp correctly. After that i bought an amp online for a deal, and when i did have a problem with it they swapped me a new one no questions asked. I was happy, and learned something. It all depends on which shop you frequent and the sites you go to. Either place can screw you over, or give you great CS. That shop also tried to sell me 35$ Streetwires rca when i asked for their cheapest RCA cable. They don't deal with "crap wire". Like it really matters with RCAs lol

Look forward to your BTL build!

Are you going to show him up? lol I plan to make the man tap out. If not watch his face cringe. =P Never herd of BTLs and his idea of an spl sub is a W7 hes in for a rude awakening. Very nice haha be sure to make a video of his reaction. i want to see it, for sure.

Are you going to show him up? lol

This kid makes me LOL in EACH of his videos. Good stuff

Welcome back!

only 4 gauge when they rate it at 17-18 hundred watts? Why not 1/0? That thing is tiny.

Welcome

box plan looks solid. That's a lotta' smilies.

Happy Birthday. Make it a day to remember, as always

Nice volt meter install! i like it, stealth ftw!

X3 on monoprice. Or you could buy my KNU ones

Welcome.

Yup, impressed. Photos like these make me hat my little digital camera. It was free so i'm not complaining

And the Icons aren't in stock, so would have to look used. Don't remember if there are any in the FS thread.

That's why "3rd row seating" was highlighted in red I'll wait for some updates with speakers in the pictures.

Very clear. What editing did you do? If none, im amazed..

Looks tres' bon!
