that makes sence to me jay, i apprecheate it! i am pretty much useing my build for DAILY use, so would a 3 way active upfront be good and just keep the rear stock for just rear fillers or completly turn the rear off? my main goal is to just have a very good sounding car all together. i just wanna do it right and have it sound good for daily with mostly rap music playing. 3way is a bad idea for u, i wouldn't recommend it for a first time active install. do a 2way with a mid and a tweeter for example. there are other things you can do like a mid bass and a fullrange or horns, etc. u got the sundown 100.4 allready right? that can take care of all the processing. although an in dash unit is hellz easier. other advantages of indash are ussually Time allignment and eq. yes i have the 100.4 already. I am gonna go 2way active for my first time that seems like the best way for me. so whats a good mid and tweet for me to get? my goal with going active is to just beable to have good sound along with the bass i am going to have. i am open to any idea's... also when i do get my mid and my tweet do i just run them to there own channel on the amp? simple "+ to - " for all 4. i was thinking for mids i would do MLI-65. My link thoes look amazing plus i trust all the companys on this site so i would like to keep my money as much as possible to all the companys with are with this fourm and suggestions from you guys Thanks for all the time and teaching and help guys!

i have had components befor in my pervious car's/builds. so i know how components work. i am really intrested in trying something new and i have seen some of the others on here talking about an active set up so i am very intrested in trying something new and learning. where can i read up on an active setup?

x2 skip the rear door and run active upfront with the 100.4 The best advice given all morning by you two fellas. I went active one month ago and never looked back since then, the sound quality was past impressive. Im trying to get all my friends who have systems are in into them to go active, one is on the verge. if going active is the way to go ill do it! i dont exactly know what that does tho. could one of you teach me or tell me where i can go read up on it and what exactly it does

do you guys think this well let me get to this site from my home pc now? for the past month i havent been able to it keeps saying connection timed out when i try to it's the only site i cant get to and its my fav site. i did a hole bunch of trouble shooting if anyone has any ideas let me know thanks! and good luck with the switch!

I would wait until you get ur truck so you can measure everything out and let Nick know whats going on so he can help you. from experience alot of times when you have "pros" build you a box off of something you printed out the useully just put a box together and send you on ur way. take some pics of the blown sub and post them also some pics with the way the wired it would help us help you

you can charge the 2 batcaps at the same time but i dont think you will get a full charge on them if you do all 3 im not 100% though. i dont know if you know this but batcaps as great of a batt as it is they arent great for alt charging or much music they are know as a fast discharge slow recharge the best for burps though i hope i helped if not o well i tried lol if your bored and you have nothing to do just try takeing one of thoes out and seeing what happens. it wont hurt anything

I got my 18" BTL today!!!! I just wanted to say this thing is a beast and looks PERFECT the way they packaged it was good loved the time they took to just do that! I cant wait until i get the rest of my stuff and get this thing running I wanted to say thanks to FI and Nick for all the help. I work in sales my self and i think customer service is the most important thing in sales and the customer service i got from Nick was amazing! defiantly going to refer all my friends over to this site and get FI! BTW nick i still owe you guys $30 for the switch just let me know how i can get that over to you. A+++++++++ for everything being perfect THANKS SO MUCH

are the battery's grounded together or do you have each one grounded to the car? from the pic it looks like there grounded together, i am no pro but i would assume having each battery grounded seperatly would be better. also make sure ur ground wire is either the same size or bigger then ur power wire,that might help a little. I also read somewhere else on this fourm someone was asking on how many battery's he should use with his 2000D and alot of responces were saying only use 1 battery with the 2000D, 2000 watts isent that much power, so maybe the second battery you have is causeing more of a drop then just having one. hopefully someone else can chime in on what I said.

the sundown 2000d will be great choice and get it well its on sale like they said^^ order from SSA store you will get it very fast!

take some pics and post them! that mite give us an idea on whats going on. also did you make sure you have the right dash kit? take it to ur local best buy they might charge like $20-30 and just let them do it. i know its VERY easy to do but if you let them break it then they have to fix it

thanks, i been on ca.com for some time, i was happy when i had 2 fi ssd 12inchs subs in the past i was lookin for a new sub i was thinkin of geting another audio q 2.5 but for the money i was happy with Fi. I dont know if this is a new thing but has Fi allways charged for shipping. I think when i orderd my ssd's in the past i got free shipping. Not sure on the shipping question. but i just wanted to say Welcome and nice pick on a great sub

It wont. It will if you have a small stock alt with 3+ batts. Yeah, ill just be useing the stock alt until the one i order comes in. Hopefully it will be here by the time im finnished. I also went to a car show this past saturday and they had a comp going on wasent bad but everyone was useing alot of the mainstreem companys i did get a chance to show off the BTL tho and alot of eye's opend up when i opend the trunk almost everyone was amazed when i told them more about it and expecally how cheep they are compared to what they were useing. I had my FI shirt on so hopefully they got the website on the back i did have 1 hater that was so up his ass about his polk audio subs

I got the daily option fully loaded.. If I get a high output alt why would it stree it edgAr?

You know what I mentttt loll

Is to much power bad?

ill be starting a build log here soon jay.... but im getting my new car wednesday its either gonna be a yukon xl or a saburban or maybe a tahoe, whatever i find at the auction. my other equipment is.. saz-2000 sax-100.4 big 3 HU alt. 2 kenetik battery's in the back and an optima under the hood waiting until i get the car to order my components i have a pioneer HU will upgrade later and second skin everywhere fiberglass box (not sure on specs yet waiting on car)

hey guys another noob question! lol so what exactly is amp clipping and how do i tell if its happening? i just want to get some questions out the way well my stuff is in transit befor i begin the install

hey guys, just a quick question? whats a good battery to get for under the hood? i will be doing the big 3 to my new car i have a 18" btl fully loaded comming and a saz-2000d and a sax-100.4 on the way i have 2 kenetik 800's ill be droping in the back so whats a good battery i should get for the hood i got about $250 Thanks guys

I don't think there's a size issue at all. It's huge

yeah of course thanks!! also tuned to 35hz for daily correct??

hey guy's just a quick question i am having a box made before my sub comes in so i can just pop it in and get going :) what do you guys think would be better standard MDF box or a fiber glass box? its going an a suburban so i got all the room i need and a fully loaded 18"btl thanks for the help and everything fellaz!

o alright i diden't know that thanks! so fiberglass box's are pretty much just for looks then?

Thanks Nick sorry I dident know I should have figured lol thanks a tun dude!!!!
