why is it that you use a 15 instead of an 18? just wondering

did u use the re calculator to build ur box?

actually if ur going sealed, u could def use the box u found made by bassworx. a sealed box is a sealed box. its in the optimal size range recommended by fi so it will work great. building ur own box is probably cheaper, but not if u have to go out and buy all the tools and stuff so yea if u got the money i would order that box. plus it looks great.

o. didnt know about the protection circuits.

yea but if the amp is 2 ohm stable or even 1 ohm stable he could have had the sub wired up to too low of an impedance and burned the amp up.

what kinda deck r u running? and what kinda sub?

its really install dependant, jacob just did a 150.7 on his single sa-8.

those wardens have an awesome magnet...i have never seen anything like that before...probably plunty of subs on the market like it but ive never seen it... looks great man.

the only problem i would see with that other than what the other guys said, is wouldnt the outer door skin flex like crazy? i have no idea but jus throwing out possible problems so u can take them into account when u do the building...POST PICS!!!lol

if u have the doors on an amp they should get loud and then just make sure u have a good headunit to set the speakers right and set the filters and crossovers on the amp. should sound fine, and then later down the road if its not good enough then u can order some aftermarket door speakers. i have 1 18" nightshade in my car and stock door speakers with no amp and the way i set it up through my indash it sounds fine to my likings.

alot of people take the rear speakers out if they are in the rear deck, or u can cut holes with like a hole saw. also, if ur back seats fold down thats probably the best way.

ive got the 1610 series and it works great for me...beats the hell outta my nightshade

i would get a saz1500d. is the sub dual 2 ohms or dual 1 ohm? the saz1500d will do around 2000 watts but u will have to upgrade ur electrical to get the most out of it.

might need a bigger alternator, but other than that sounds great. keep us updated.

You tried to eat it? lmao sorry incredible!!! i actually laughed at this for about 3 hours...1 hour to in my room, tearing up from laughter, and the other 2 hours quietly to myself.

u hesitated a little bit right around 1:09ish. other than that it was a very well made video. good luck

lol i thought so, but that was a little before when i started watching the news so wasnt 100 percent sure.

it looks good, but will it perform?

wasnt ephedra in like weightloss pills?

with ur gain knob, i think u want to set ur gains on ur amp first and then use ur knob to turn it down. when the knob is turned all the way up, it will be at the level ur amp is set to.

hey guys, im having a hard time deciding on which box to build for my 18" nightshade. i will be using a hifonics brutus bxi1610d amplifier. i have a fairly small trunk but the sub will fit with a correctly sized box. i used the re calculator to come up with 2 different designs. i need your help to choose which would be best. here is the first one http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac235/thebiggmann12/2.png and the second one is here http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac235/thebiggmann12/Untitled.png the one with the port along the bottom would be port back sup up and the other one would be port up sub up. it will be going in a hatchback focus. if u need any more information i will be glad to give it to you.

hello! welcome to the site. please read the newbie guidelines, and have fun learning!!

im not sure if im right but i dont think u can have 2 different types of amps on 1 sub can u?

i would also go with the 8s bc then u can mount them comfortably under the seat.

will do.getting wood 2marrow, i think it should turn out great.
