    Need suggestions for very small sealed box 10" options

    I second the motion here. I have one and its amazing and its in a .7 ft^3 box. Sad thing is I'm running it as 4 ohm's as I am awaiting on my second sub to be able to run at 2ohms. Your 6 series there are stealth boxes already made for your ride. Although not sure what year your bimmer is...

    Spare Tire Subwoofer

    Oh yeah totally forgot about Dayton subs. Good call k5james Yeah you could go that route too although never used them in car set ups mostly in home audio set up. But hey that's what's fun about car or home audio. You buy little at a time and then build and then you realize **** I have an X...

    Awesome keep us updated on your build. You may inspire others. As for your question about 1 or 2 amps. It is always recommended to have 2 amps one for your Speakers and one for the subs. Now you can get a combo amp where it has 5 channels like the JL amps out there. There may be more out there...

    think i bought the wrong sub amp combo ohm wise help?

    According to Alpine the sub is 500watts rms per coil. Now your amp is 500watts at 14v at 2ohms and 300watts at 4ohms at 14v. Not 350. So if we wire your sub to utilize both coils 4ohm's you would be running at roughly 150 watts per coil. Or You can run one coil at 2ohm's and get 300 watts to...

    Spare Tire Subwoofer

    I see well like everyone else has mentioned you would be happier with an SD3 though if you cant get it to fit. Then against all get a 12 in pioneer sub and feed juice. Yes Pioneers are not the best out there but they are also not the worst. Other bash on them because they want the hardcore spl...

    Spare Tire Subwoofer

    Whats the depth that you have to work with? The Sd only needs 4.75 inches and .4ft^3. Trust me if you can fit the sd-3 in a sealed enclosure you will be very happy. No need to port if specially if you have a small suv and don't listen to rap or hip hop. Just know that the SD3 is awesome and hits...

    Spare Tire Subwoofer

    If you have an suv and thinking of getting the pioneers. You will be disappointed. I got 2 8inchers and it was not getting certain lows in certain rock songs. Then again they were in sealed enclosures. If your stuck on getting the pioneers then get a 12in and port it. Though to be honest I dont...

    Okay well as you may know I was wanting input from you guys on what to get to replace 2 8" subs. I liked the SD3 and went with your guy’s advice. Though since this sub eventually will go in a hidden compartment of my SUV. I decided to give Car Audio Bargain a shot as they sell B Stock items...

    Alpine Type-R 12 Vs. American Bass XFL 12

    Ive heard AB and they sound amazing. Hard call I'm looking at the specs are these the ones you are talking about? Alpine XFL1244 If so me personally I would go for the AB just because of to me they sound deeper and not jump on the Alpine band wagon. Though the aesthetics in me would like go...
