  1. If your budget is around $300, try looking at this which is only $50 more. Audioque 2200D It is widely considered of much higher quality. I wouldnt buy a BXI to pair with Fi drivers but thats me. I have one now but am waiting to change it out. No fuse is needed between the alt and the first batt. The fuse from batt #1 should be no more than 8-12" away from the batt. The last two, I am confused by what you are trying to say. Lets just decide on what equipment you will be using and go from there. It will clear some of that up. Yes it makes more sense to wire the amp to the batt in the back. well im thinking about getting BTLs now instead, so i was thinking 2 12" BTL in (most likely) one of my own boxes. I'll check out that amp, but since u suggested it then ill probably go with it. i havent decided on an alternator yet or a battery, but its all going to be hooked up with the 1/0 wire like suggested so from those how do i hook it up to the battery? You want BTLs but do you have the room for them? You said you have an s-10 ext cab but can you get a 6ft3 enclosure to fit? Thats the optimum size enclosure to build when running rms or under wattage. If so, you will be wanting a different amp. The BTLs are 2k rms each.

    How to Figure out Car tuning

    That way you wont have to worry about inconsistencies from the two different meters.

    SAZ-4500D Pre-Sale

    Imagine a large surf board with a Sundown Logo, and thats what it will look like. Amazingly enough they are only about 27" long. Thats pretty impressive for over 4k rms!

    Fi BL 18 port reccomendations!!!!!!!

    A smaller port will take up less volume. Really no need for a 5" slot port on one 18" BL. You need at least 5cuft. to build a proper enclosure for that BL. The RE box builder also doesnt account for driver displacement either which is .26cuft. This will change your internal volume as well. Have you thought about extending the port outside the enclosure for maximum volume?

    sub box help

    Yes, that is exactly waht hes saying. Polyfill is an insulation like product that makes the driver think the enclosure is bigger than it really is.

    alternator?

    I dont think he needs two alts for a single 3500 watt amp. That seems a little excessive. I planned on using my 250 amp mechman for the SAZ4500D. Matt told me it would do just fine.

    Sub facing roof or back

    Testing is the only real answer to what will be best in each vehicle.

    Good amps for 3 10's RE SRX

    Welcome dude. A 1k watt amp. Sundown... Is the pre-order sale still going on for the SAE-1200D V.2? That'd be a good deal.... Hopefully they are dual 2 ohm drivers so he can run them at 1.34 ohms. Finding an amp to do 1krms at 1ohm should be a piece of cake. For the 1200D...The thread doesnt say anything about December pricing but an email to Jacob will clear that up.

    Doubling amp power

    Thats not going to kill an alternator. Before buying anything else, you sould seriously consider if you are going to buy a new ride. Dont want to waste money on something you dont really like.

    Hell has frozen over?

    These abnormally cold temps here have crushed all dreams I may have had for living in a place with snow in the winter. This is fnucking cold and Im in a Cali valley. I thought I liked the cold better than the heat. I was wrong.

    Whats taking Fi so long for a shipping update?

    It happens. Cant wait for the build log as I wanted to see these in a good pic when they were on sale. If you dont like them after the install, you know where to off them at.

    You Wanna Split 'Em With Me If He Does? I wanted four for myself! Screamin deal. At four the price went down from $65 to $55 a pop. Almost had four Fi drivers at my door for $265! Damn!

    Which One?

    If you want to amplify your front stage, you should buy another amp. I suggest a four channel for maximum flexibility. The SAX100.4 is a great amp for that. I own one myself.

    Alt chevy Lumina

    Yeah he was it was kinda funny he sounded as if he were drunk. that's what im planning on Ya, I was picturing a Hank Hill, only without the accent. Kinda wierd that a company with the reputation for quality alts has people like that answering the phone. Cool beans dude. Put some pics up of the install when you do it.

    Ya, shes 11 and Im 28. You do the math. This has been a blluuuuuuuuuur!
  22. The fusing will depend on whether or not the amp you are using has onboard fusing. Also fusing right after the first battery, under the hood. I fuse this for the wire itself and generally use a 250-350 amp fuse on 1/0 ga. I personally use 350 and have used 250 in the past but you can surely get by with less. With multiple batteries, you want to fuse after the last battery close to the batt like under the hood. The amp really depends on your budget to give some suggestions. For 2 BLs I would be looking for an amp that does 2k rms at 1 ohm. Of course BTLs are good but thats pretty subjective. A lot of drivers can be good.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I just got back from watching my daughter perform in her 6th grade class dance routine. Some dude name Tony Crane comes to the school to teach the kids a dance routine, then all the parents and family buy tickets to watch the show. A little fundraiser kind of a thing I guess. She was the leader in the front row, middle spot. They were holding batons and she and about three others busted the old kid n play over the stick! Twice! I couldnt believe it! She said she was nervous for a move but wouldnt tell me what it was. That was sick dudes.
  25. i expect many of these things to be expensive, all systems ive had up to this point were cheap (trying to look cool) systems, so i plan on putting around 1500 but not more then 2k into this system. i have aftermarket door speakers and i have 6x9s that i wanna take out of my old car to put in this Well $2k for 2k rms is gonna be tight. Will you be building the enclosure yourself. I know shops always want way too much. You will save a lot that way. thats where i was going to have to put some thought into, i have an ok box already from my bros old system. im a pretty good carpenter so i could build my own, i just kind of dont feel like it. i wouldnt go to a shop for an encloser tho. im just interested in the wiring, sub, amp, and alt/+ battery. You should feel like it. These drivers deserve their own boxes. Whats the dimensions of the old enclosure you have already? ok ill look into making my own, any tips on size and type of wood and whether it actually needs carpet or not (although ill probably put some if it doesnt make a difference cuz i prefer the look) for the box? and when hooking up the battery, is it just positive to positive and negative to negative? or do i ground the negative and do positive to positive? do i split at the alt. or do i split from the original battery? Always use at least 3/4" wood when building an enclosure for a subwoofer. For the type of wood, you have a couple choices. Plywood can be used and is the cheapest but the weakest of all. MDF is the norm and it provides excellent results. Very sturdy product when built right. Birch is stronger than MDF but more expensive. Moving away from wood you can get into plexiglass. It is sick to look at and very, very solid to build with. Only drawback is it is about $250-300 for a 4x8 sheet! Yes, it is pos to pos and neg to neg. You can ground the neg in a proper area when it doesnt make sense to run a long wire.
