My First Build

[blueflamed03]

nope...not that drastic. Now if you had a Solo X 18" off 250 watts, yes...but you have 500 RMS going to them, and that's perfectly fine. Then you have over head, IF, or WHEN you add more power.
Smaller woofer, your limited to swapping BOTH out now.

Power can be turned down, up, causes issues.

yea imo as long as the max on the amp is at least the rms of the subs youre pretty cool.. some stiffer subs ask specifically for a certain amount of watts though.. but if it doesnt ask for it.. then you dont HAVE to have it.. a 1000w max amp on 1000w rms sub is pretty much always gonna be fine though

Subs are on there way and I just got back from Home Depot with all my wood and shit. Materials came to $85 and the subs were $340 Shipped. Also bought 15 ft of KnuKonceptz Karma SS 10 gauge speaker wire for them.

The subs I went with were DC Level 2 15's. I should be able to put 400 rms to each of them daily with no problem. They are handmade to order, and ive talked to the guy in charge for a total of about an hour and he sounds like he KNOWS his shit.

Probably gonna build the box Sunday and the subs and wire are coming Tuesday so il get em put in and wired up then. Then on Friday or Saturday im taking my truck to a local car audio shop and having all my amps tuned, having my box carpeted with that commercial carpet to match my amp rack, and hopefully have them get rid of my alternator feedback.

So stoked.

yea dc is a very good company i had 2 of the lvl 5 18s put on in my galant on a sundown 3k and it tore my galant to pieces lol oh and what amp are you running to those subs?

 

[Brandon X]

Just a Kicker ZX750.1. Has a birth sheet of just over 900 rms. Perfect for me, im not a big fan of over excessive bass lol.

Box is coming together nicely! My subs came in today and I got my wiring coming in tomorrow. Pics tomorrow when I wake up.

 

[TnTahoe]

Pics kinda suck since theres barely any light in my basement but you get the idea.





Tomorrow I should have everything done and caulked and then Friday its going in my tahoe.
