I really do like 12s. My big problem now is where the hell do I find a HO alt for a mazda 3.... its seems impossible to find one! Would mechman or someone be able to make me one and how much would it cost? I figure I'd probably want around a 150 amp alt

I plan on running sealed for now, mostly for space reasons

Any other thoughts guys? Thanks for the info! What sub would you recommend that could match the Type R's as well as remain in the same price range?

I'm looking at the ones that they sell now on sonic electronix and crutchfield and such. The Swr-12d4. Yes I have done big 3, so you would say get a ho alt and then eventually add a second batt?

My car is an 06 Mazda 3, with the stock 90 amp alt. I am looking to upgrade my subs from two Type S 12's to two Type R 12's and and running 2000w rms @ 1 ohm with a soundqubed q1-2200d.

Chalk it up to a count of laziness then:D

Going to try to fix things up today after classes. Couldn't get around to it yesterday with all the midterms and lack of light in the after noon.

I'll try tuning with the load of the subs present, eq flat, and a -3db 60hz tone

Will do when I get it tweaked to my satisfaction

Why sub plugged in? Some people are saying tune amp loaded and some say unloaded

Tune the amp is what I meant, not time. Sorry on my phone

Thanks guys, so I should continue to tune without my subs plugged in? I'll use a -3db tone at 60hz. Hopefully this will help it. If I'm correct, my 8 band eq should be flat when I time the amp?
