The box is supposed to be tuned to 30 hz. 2.5 cubes. I say supposed to be cause I bought the box, did not build it myself, and the guy said "its around 30 hz" when i asked him. Anyways, I am having troubles with the rl-p because it is severly drowning out my boston speakers (unamped). I guess thats what i get for buying an awesome woofer. I just purchased some focal 136k 5.25" components off of ebay to help this out a bit. I will amp them with something like 75-100 watts. Oh and about burning up the rl-p, i dont think that will happen cause I set my gains with a dmm using the sticky in this forum. 800 watts * 2 ohms=1600. Square root is 40 volts, so i set my gain at like 38 volts to be a tad conservative. Does that sound good to you guys?

looks good, how do you like the Directed?

[btmhwb 0]

It seems to be working quite well. I got it refurbed, so it has cosmetic defects, but that doesnt matter to me. I was worried for a while, because I got a dmm to set my gains, and for some reason the crappy dmm i got from walmart said that it put out a max of 20 volts, which is not right. I took the chitty volt meter back and got a good auto ranging one and get it set right at 38 volts. I just got some focal comps off of ebay, and I pmed flakko to see about the us amps is 4085. I would love to get that to run my speakers. DO you know about that amp?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I personally have not tried that amp, I was thinking about putting on in Amandas car,

already a few people have ordered these IS amps from FLakko and all reports have been awesome

I just got a pm from flakko, gonna get the is 4085 from us amps for 195 shipped. THat is a great price!! I just hope the focals are up to what ive heard.

I got the directed 1500d off of ebay for like 160 shipped. It does like 1100 watts rms @ 1 ohm, 800 watts at 2 ohms. I have it runnin my rlp d4 at 800 watts. It pounds the hell out of it.

maybe thats the reason?

[btmhwb 0]

you mean unamped? yeah, i was just going to get an amp for them, but they areent very good bostons, plus they are old. I got the focals and a good us amp from flakko to keep up with the rl-p. That oughta do the trick. The only other thing I would like to do is to replace the 6 x 9s in the back with better stuff. Any suggestiions? The us amps amp will power the focals and the back speakers @ 85 watts 4 ohm.

[flakko 1]

Do you think the focals will be loud (and clear) enough to fill the whole car with sound?

here is a review of the speaks.

focal 136k

I guess it was pontless to buy a 4 channel amp then!!lol I will put some good speakers back there just because i have a good 4 channel now.

[///M5 2,833]

Or you could run active in the front and use the 4 channels that way!

thats what I am doing (except x2), no rear fill, even though the speakers are still there,
