That's unfortunate about not being able to fit the 18" on a side note, there has been tons of Grand Prix builds lately! Or is that just me?

If you do decide to run it at .5 ohms, have a video camera handy! I hear about those amps going "poof!" but i would like to witness one!

i did just that! well, taking the risk that is

Jealous of your available space for 2 21"s Nice set-up! plenty clean enough in my opinion

1. How old are you? 18 2. When did you get into car audio? 16 3. How did you first get into car audio? I got my first subwoofer when i was 13. A klipsch 12'' home audio sub.

It's probably fun chasing decibels and seeing how your modifications help/hurt that cause. Just like trying to get the fastest 1/4 mile you can. At a certain point, it's pretty much useless except for a hobby but it's still fun!

hmm... Indeed Smash. the 1800woofers site lists them at 35 lbs. So i guess UPS messed up somewhere

UPS weighed my SA-15 shipments at 26lbs a piece and they ship in foam with cardboard around it so the packaging adds virtually no weight.

That girl is a well known troll. Evidently she makes quite the cash on it as well. She's even made two videos that contradict each other, but deleted the original one that she contradicted after everyone commented on the mistake she clearly made.

Yeah i would imagine that would work nearly flawlessly! In all honesty I'm not worried about the seal too much; i ran a terminal box with my BTL as well. It would just be nice to not have to worry about it you know?

I have two SA-15's and I just finished making my box with the intent of adding in 6" PSP ports when they arrived in the mail. I was pressed for time because I'm going back to school (nine hours away) tomorrow so that's why I finished everything except for adding the ports. Well I ordered the ports from parts-express last Monday and just to make sure they got to my house in time I paid for two day shipping. I MADE SURE they were in stock when I ordered them. Guess what happened? The ports didn't ship out until Thursday. I called parts-express on Thursday to see why I didn't have the ports yet and they told me that "they just shipped out today (Thursday) because the parts weren't in stock". Bottom line is the ports won't be here till Monday and that's too late. I'm too afraid of pre-cutting the holes for the ports in case the holes would be too large. This is what I'm left with: running two SA-15's in a sealed box at 7.42 cubic feet (after sub displacement) for a month and a half until I'm back home and can install the ports. Is there any problem with that? I'm assuming I'd have to be extra careful with the gain settings since the sealed box is so large.

The problem with all the other solutions is exactly what you ran into; problems with a good seal. Running the wires through the port is the only way around that. Regardless, I put in a terminal box for time being.

thanks guys i might just use those Stefan. I suppose I probably should as this is supposed to be a "pretty" box. But for now I have some terminal from radioshack! Going to go install that right now and then seal the baffles on and tomorrow I'll be bumping again all the way back to school!

I'm going to just get a darn speaker terminal. I appreciate all the help guys it's just that i don't have enough ring terminals to do the bolt idea. Thanks to you both

Haha alright! Well this is a new challenge as well... speaker wire in a sealed box. With my ported boxes I always just ran the wire out of the port. I DON'T want to use a terminal. Can I just drill a hole, put a bolt through and attach the wiring like that? Then put a nut on the out side of the bolt and use sealant to try to seal it up as best as possible?

A waste? A waste of what?

Oh! No we're on the same page I think I assumed that "all the way down" would be at 0 hz but now that I think about it that doesn't make a whole lot of sense! But there isn't really a problem with the SSF on a sealed enclosure like there is on a ported enclosure right? Do I have to worry about frequencies that are TOO low like people do with a ported enclosure?

Recommended Sealed Enclosure is 2.5 cubic feet Recommended Ported Enclosure is 3.0 cubic feet I'm running them at 2 ohms final load off of a SAZ-3000D I didn't know you could turn the SSF off on a Sundown Amp!

yeah that's what I figured I've never ran a sealed box before... not really excited. Ha. What do I do with SSF? Turn it all the way to down?

Yeah. I've learned to not trust shipping. Its never worked out for me. It's been so much of a hassle I even started a thread way back. Battery went to a different state... front stage went to a different house and sat out in the rain... ring terminals came in a ripped up package and only 1/2 of them came... fuses never came... the list goes on. More than half of the things I ordered have been screwed up somehow

Man i LOVE my mattress in the dorm. I wish i could take it to my house!

ohhhh alright then

You still think you can get $880 for the z's? I mean, i really hope you can man! But let me tell you, i wouldn't buy used z's for that much! A more realistic price would be $350 a piece for the z's and i've seen them go for way less. Not trying to bring you down at all! Just trying to bring in some reality.

Unless you have a buyer for the z15's and/or a seller for the BTL's, i doubt changing over to BTL's would only cost you $80. Someone who maybe switched from z15's to BTL's might be able to answer your question, but i can't :/ good luck!

yes
