Sometimes I do really dumb things

I second that^

Well he has an enclosure which takes more materials needed than what I will need for just one 12". Therefore with less materials, less weight, cheaper price and shipping.

Well recently, I have just purchased a 12" CVX that came in a prefab Kicker enclosure. It was powered off a Kicker ZX 750.1(which seems to be the only decent Kicker purchase I made). I assume with the amp being underrated, and therefore overpowering the CVX caused it to blow. Well now, I'M GOING FI BEEZYS, sorry for the anticipation, but now anyway I would like to power my new setup with the same amp, the Kicker ZX750.1 and replace the sub with a NEW FI SSD 12". Temporarily I will, use the same box.... I know to some extent either the enclosure could make or break the sub hopefully, the prefab kicker box won't make the FI sound like shit. Opinions? I would also like to know what options to chose for this amp, particularly 1 ohm or 2 ohm?

"Then roll your freakin' windows up. " That really doesn't work too good either though.

Can't beat the price, right there. A single woofer enclosure, should fit in my price range nicely.

On a side and random note, I love my small rims. No need for anything past dubs.

Not once on this forum have I promoted what you speak of. You can look back and quote my words, you misinterpret a lot of shit. Great installs and Dynamat , doesn't always work.

That sounds expensive, I wouldn't mind trying to make my own if possible. I'll probably make a sealed one to their recommendation, if all goes well, then I might make my own ported. As of now my eyes are on prefabs though, the ones on ebay aren't that bad, just gotta find one that is tuned right I guess.

pound that sound, looks nice. Very nice,but is it expensive?

I think its just kind of ridiculous, our vehicles can be heard blocks away, they make noise, all systems. I think he just wants something more SPL orientated.

He didn't even say he wanted others to hear... hop off.

It's been a long week, but I just got finishing ordering the 12". Ohm: dual 1 FlatwindCoil: yes +$20 copperCoil: no BP_Power: yes +$30 Dustcap: white So, I hope I'll be a happy camper. Anyone know of any quality prefabs? I'm going to set up the zx750.1 perfect this time so, no more blowing subs for now.

The forums seem cool, just kinda got a bad impression off the start from M5, but I'm going let that settle. With my two jl w1's 10"s, they seemed to be covering more area, maybe more filling is a way to describe it. When I got the Kicker CVX, it was a hell of lot louder, but it felt as if it just doesn't cover as much, maybe less filling( not just referring to the hallow sounds from the CVX.) I think If I get the 15", I will make my own sealed box.... really how hard could that be, really cause I have no clue? I've seen put a lot of shit in the rears of Civic's, but I'm not sure if it could house 3 cubic feet, so I will probably go with the 2 cubic feet sealed first though. I always wondered about taking out the third seat and making that a wall, any ideas on that?

I think the void is more output based, because the lack of sq from the cvx wasn't horrible to my listening.

Last time when I had two ten's it seemed the bass covered more area, and with one 12, I just feel as if it doesn't do near that. I wonder if a fifteen wold fill that void. I really want a fifteen, but maybe its not the right decision.

Referring to my trunk and car in general. Yeah that is right, I never said " I LIKE TO ANNOY PEOPLE AT THE RED LIGHT" I stand behind that statement,a few times I've said phrases such as "All this is getting rather childish, so I'm just going to leave it there." It just keeps going back and forth, enough with it. Stop being so power hungry, you are not the police. I'm theKeety dude, chill. My attitude is positive. I ask for no more bullshit, you are blind to your own flaws in character.

I'm not trying to "promote" anything, I am no salesman. I do not use my system to disturb others, I'm sure everyone with a system has disturbed someone. In fact I don't know anyone who uses their system for the purpose of disturbing others. 9 o clock, is like the gain a third of the way up, KU is probably right " Amplifiers can put out full power and even clip with the gain all the way down." I agree, I think the bass boost clipped the sub, and caused it to blow. All this shit is childish back and forth with you. 12" SSD (FLATWIND COIL) ported or 15" SSD( COPPER COIL) sealed. A few opinions on these options, would be appreciated much.

Coming from M5, "If your gain was set "low" you would NOT have blown your sub /story". The impression I'm left with that is he may be wrong, which I do think he is. Then the next guy comes in and says " It depends entirely on the signal input voltage.". I'm really not worried about what went wrong last time, the past isn't fixable. I can only make my new setup better. Then M5, SSA Audio Tech Team, thinking I would get a better response from someone on the Tech Team, I go to the site, and then I find this That is clearly a recommendation. I read the guidelines and rules also, and I don't appreciate being told like a child that When in fact its not even the sole goal of my project, if you were trying to reference to I'm not asking for help to be a social menace. Now the only decision I have to make is, 12" SSD (FLATWIND COIL) ported or 15" SSD( COPPER COIL) sealed.

From the FI site, 
SSD 15 – We recommend using the copper coil option on the SSD15 for sealed applications. They work well in the 2-3 cuft enclosure sizes. Thats a recommendation. ""A little attention" is SUPER annoying and exactly as described. This "little attention" that you want is NOT something we support on this forum. In fact talking about a goal like that is not allowed here." You take things way too serious, I looked on the forum, there is no guideline or listed rules ( at least to my acknowldegment) saying that talk of such matters is not allowed. In reality, I don't even flaunt at red lights, maybe sometimes I'll keep the sub going, but all I was referencing as for what I like out of my subs. calm down. " 10) Do not ask for help being a social menace. If your sole goal with a system is to be heard a long way from your car, go away. We don’t want you here. Obviously, if you are a competitor, we’d be glad to help." I'm not asking for help to be a social menace, and that is not my sole goal. "If your gain was set "low" you would NOT have blown your sub /story" I set my gain, low end of story. Well I set it at about 9 o clock, I call that low. All this is getting rather childish, so I'm just going to leave it there.

"The gain is simply too high and you would need a subsonic filter." I set my gains rather low. I've been off the subject of using the Kicker prefab, I called them and they said its tuned around 40. I also didn't say my carpentry background was good, I said also that I hoped that it would not come out like a piece of shit, since my background isn't too good at all. I'm thankful for the helpful responses, but another note I didn't say I like to annoy people at the red light, just a little attention doesn't hurt. We're all attention whores to some extent. You think the 12 ported is the way to go, I might go with that, I see what people think about the fifteen sealed also. Kind of got off on bad foot, but alright all my questions have been answered. The CVX, was D4, wired to down to D2. The DVC 1 and DVC 2, just kinda of bamboozled me since I'm so used to seeing just DVC 2 and DVC4. So I now know I got to go with the DVC 1 option for one sub with the zx750.1. Thats out the way but now I'm wondering if I should go with the fifteen sealed or 12 ported.

Not once did say the yellow top was the cause, I'm saying it may have aided into the destruction of the sub. I'm not coming on a forum to argue about it, if you would read my other post the CVX isn't a concern. I also don't have just a single 750, I also have a p400.4, I think thats what it is.. some rocksford punch 400 watt 4 channel. My lights would dim with just the punch amp, prior to me adding the 750, once that was added the volts defiantly started to drop. I'm getting a new box, its probably in the best interest for me and the sub. Anyone know of any good spots to order a decent prefab sealed for the 15" ssd. I think I'm leaning more on that now.

Actually the addition of the yellow top did aid in the damage of the sub, the amp wouldn't even push to its full potential prior to that, so going at full potential with bass boost, sounds like the death of a sub is bound to happen way quicker. Its no longer my concern, you live and you learn. You all are taking more time to say shit about how I fucked my Kicker up, and so on and so forth but when it came down to me asking a simple tech question on a forum where I though people would be knowledgeable about the subject, all were concerned about what I did wrong with the settings and the amp, I really did not care for any input on that. Really doesn't matter we all have our freedoms though. I know about bass boost, I know its damaging to the sub... I get it... no need to talk down upon my actions and such. I set my gains low and the x over just right, but the bass boost on the other hand not so right. Back to point... you live and you learn. So I'm going with SSD 12 or 15, going to make the order this afternoon. I'm going with DVC 1 option for the mono block Kicker ZX750.1. I'm either going to get the 12 with the flatwind coil and go ported or get the fifteen with copper coil sealed. In comparison to the CVX do you think the 12 or the 15 would stand up to it with these options on them?

So much hostility... calm down. I guess I'll be making my first box, and with my carpentry background, hopefully I'm not left with a piece of shit. If anyone knows of any quality sealed prefabs for the fifteen or any ported prefabs for the twelve that would be nice. I really don't want to spend anymore money then I have been lately, so the cheaper the better.

Really appreciated... I hope you're not lying.
