Going to order this week, need final thoughts

[ShaneSauce 2]

Okay everyone I am going to order later this week and I need to make sure I am doing everything right.

This is my first system.

I mostly listen to rap but I like rock too.

Its going in a '97 tercel.

I'm going to get the dual 2ohm ssd 15", and I'm gonna have it running at 1000wattsRMS@1ohm off of a Hifonics Txi1008D.

Which should I get the flatwind or copper coil?

I'll be running 8GA.

And the box I'm going for is 3.6cuft after port and displacement.

Port is tuned @ 33hz.

I have 40 inches of square port.

Its 34"W/17.5"H/16"D

And just to make sure I did a picture on paint, here ya go.

Am I ready to order?

Your going to need bigger wire for that amp.

4ga should work fine.

With 8, you wont get all your watts and could cause the amp to mess up.

Ah okay, its just that I heard 4GA wasn't fitting on some amp terminals or something like that.

What is the thing called that monitors your voltage? Capacitor or something?

Hey do you guys know if the BL magnets are in yet?

I kinda want to order a BL and get a little more bump.

Been in for a loooooong time...

I wouldn't buy the Hifonics.

I wouldn't buy the Hifonics.

Id disagree on that one. My friend acquired one of those amps and I thought it was performing quite well. For the $ I wouldn't say anything negative on it.

Okay I just saw somewhere that the magnets weren't coming in or something.

And is the Hifonics really that bad?

I mean I considered getting the sundown 1200 or 1000 but that's a little out of my budget considering I still have to buy front and rear stage plus a new head unit.

[///M5 2,833]

Pay now or pay later, it is how it works. A sample size of one isn't worth noting. "My friend" had good luck doesn't really mean the amp is worth anything. Don't expect them to last.

You can cut off a few strands of the power wire to help it fit into the terminal.

and that would be called a voltmeter. a capacitor is very different. Some capacitors have voltmeters on them, but that is not a reason to ever buy one. In fact, don't buy one. Instead, look for a larger alternator (since your tercel has a what, 60 amp one on there?) and spend the money on that.

[ShaneSauce 2]

Damn it seems likes something always has to go wrong.

Well I don't have $400 to spend on a amp so the hifonics will have to do.

Do they not put out their rated power or what?

edit: Yea my alternator is a 70 amp hopefully that will supply enough juice to my amp.

Well, you can take our advice, and not have to worry, or take the easy way out and hope for the best. Car audio has never been a cheap hobby to pursue, as long as I can remember
