There's so many to choose from, it's hard to get very specific without knowing more about what you're really wanting. I do know that I'll stand by the recommendation on the DCON's, they're just incredible for the money. They would get loud like WOOOOSSSHHHH!!!!! No, No. It's, "They'll go BOOM like SO."

You're welcome... If you need a wiring diagram to be certain it's right I can get one posted up for you.

You are correct. A dual 2 ohm sub wired in parallel will yield a 1 ohm nominal load.

Eh, even pyramid can be entertaining. There's nothing like watching a speaker (any type, size or brand) scream for mercy and then go poof. MMMUUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

There's just WAY too many variables to know for certain, it's all about the installation. I personally like the idea of several kick ass lower powered subs on a decent little amp. I think three 10" DCON's or Fi X's would be plenty loud enough and sound fantastic, but then I'm not into lots of SPL so my tastes and goals may not fit yours. I do like my music loud from time to time, but my sister's single 12 DCON on it's 300wrms for example, would be enough for me on most occasions. I don't need anything wig splitting, earth shaking, or otherwise gaining for competition, so again I say that IMO three 10's would be great but my idea of loud enough and yours are likely much different.

Literally! Did you see how many times that guy punched it? Someone needs to call the Cops and report the abuse. :lol2:

Looks damn good!! Thanks!! Thank you sir, I wanted to be able to show off their hot asses, lol. Should do the same when you get your ZCON! LOL, speaking of dusting off the enclosure needs a good Pledging. I dunno about sweet, but it's a video. I couldn't believe it when I played it back on my laptop the first time and the components alone were about overdriving the microphone, once the bass starts it really sounds like ass. That's what I get for trying to do it on my cell phone, it takes great stills for a phone but the videos aren't nearly as good. I'm hoping the mic on the camera is a little more forgiving. Speaking of seeing it in person, when's the next show at that shop up there in Indy? Thanks!!

There.... finally got the Youtube link to work, lol....

Well, it sucks but it is finally a video of the Q's in action. I'm going to try to get the HD cam out and get a vid or two with it, hopefully it can capture all the shit moving, lol.

Agree with the guys above, and If I were you I wouldn't do it, at all. For competition use when burping people have gotten away with running real low loads but even for the moments it takes to do the burp they're still generally stressing the electrical components in the amp beyond their designed ability. It shortens the life of the product, plain and simple. If it's some old amp that you had lying around and you're just wanting to see what it can do before it smokes and you don't care if it lives or not then who cares, but if it's relatively new and you intend to keep and use it for some time then I wouldn't even do it for burping let alone for any extended period. Just my .02

to the forum!! I don't think you'll be the least bit disappointed with anything you try in the Fi lineup. Since you have the amp already the best choices from Fi would be a big BTL or a pair of BL's, either would match up with it very well.

One positive point that comes from all the problems is that not just you, but everyone who's reading this is learning as well. Thanks for sharing the mishaps as well as the winning moments!

boredom and a long day have won.... night all, catch ya on the flip side

In the chat now..... boredom is about to take me in....

Figures.... Maybe when I'm ready for one I'll be able to find a used one.

It just takes time to get them built, I'm sure you'll see something soon.

It's not that it would or wouldn't be enough for the engine, as the engine itself and the electronics that support it don't really require that much power, but if it could keep up with all the accessory items. Most likely it would be, but that's not an issue if you already got it sold. What you do know is it looks like you have exactly the information you need to look into getting a larger stock style alt. You could get one from the same kind of truck in a salvage yard for a little bit of nothing in comparison to a full out HO alt. I know little about the intricacies of Ford's, so you may have to change the plug for the alternator, the belt, or may run into some small fitment issues. Another option that I've seen done is mounting a second big factory alt like that one and wiring it up only to the audio equipment.

Both of these guys are correct. If money for a true HO alt is a problem you might be able to find a larger factory alt out of a Lincoln or a bigger truck that may mount up without much modification. Such as with the 4.3 vortecs an AD244 will direct bolt into the location for the stock CS130 and factory harness plugs right in the only thing needed is a slightly longer belt.

Here's the entire bunch:

Well they were, I swear they were. I think someone like Nick may have gone through and deleted some of their old posts or something. I know he had a thread on here somewhere that he explained a good and fairly quick way to find the definite tuning of an enclosure and set the SSF accordingly I mentioned to someone in another thread but I couldn't find that either. That or Searching > me today for some reason. I'll post up all the pics of the BP option they had posted up at one time, they're all good pics.

They're on the forum here somewhere. Nick or Scott posted them up awhile back. I saved them to my laptop for showing to local guys, but they're on here somewhere, maybe in the Fi technical section.

Here's a picture of the BP power cooling option, it's only 6 channels instead of the 12 your BTL has, but it gives a great visual of the difference between a motor with and without the cooling options.

:lol2:

Thankyou bromo, I should never doubt them, best woofer I have heard, and yes I have heard systems other than mine running Fi, one that does 156 db. The SSAs that Punisher Geo runs are nice too ,off topic haha What? I answered first on post #8 one minute before Bromo, what about my thank you??? LOL, Jus Kiddin' Guarantee he's smarter than me... Glad you feel more comfortable with it, now get some vids posted of them monsters tearin' something up!!!

Hit up Liberty or one of the other parts yards down there. There were quite a few vehicles that had the double V pulleys on them, surely there's still some on a shelf or in a car in a yard somewhere.
