18" subwoofer - RD Alpha Wired CORRECTLY this time

[MrSkinnypimpin]

i have this same sub man what is the rms rate i bought it for 200 from this guy but i cant fiind this exact sub on rd site the dude said 1500 - 2000 is it rated for more

[englshmn]

Have you tried sub up port back?

I just switched my box from sub up port up to sub up port back. IT made a HUGE difference.

I've always had much better luck in SUVs with the port firing at the hatch..

[c55carlock]

@englshmn well currently I have the sub facing toward the hatch and the port up. I am pretty happy with that. I like it better than the sub up.

[mtxtyler]

do you like the rd alpha or would you spend the extra $100 dollars and get the fi btl?

Nice set up i was think on getting the same or just get 3 10'' L7 from my buddy. How much did you spend for the sub too. I taked to some people on forms and said 300.

[c55carlock]

@mtxtyler Im happy with it. But I wouldnt mind tryin out a BTL.

~WTF this was only 1 subwoofer?

[camarodude32]

What you got for a radio..brand and how much and was it a pain to put in

[c55carlock]

Pioneer it was bout 200$ and it was pretty simple to put in, most HU's arent too complicated.

[marksp22]

what kinda amp homie?

[c55carlock]

hifonics bxi2000

[101Boubou101]

hey got a question, as i can see u got subs in your ford escape... i've just got me one of these suv, does ur back glass can handle it or u've already broke one ? i read the backglass of theses truck was really weak, is it true ?

[c55carlock]

no problem whatsoever. Its a pretty solid car I nothing in it really rattles too much other than the plastic part at the 'ceiling' of the car where you can put your garage door opener or glasses or whatever.

@101Boubou101 the escapes are made with better quality then the explorers!!

[mlgradionx300]

Sweet I have 2 12's In My Ford Escape lol

[skynet4kt]

damn lol. dats nice. so did u need a new alternator? i got a escape with the stock (shit) sub and i wanna get rid of it. how much power can i draw from that stock 110 amp alternator without killing it or the battery? do ur lights dim when u hit the sounds?

[c55carlock]

well the amp claims to put out 2000wrms at 1 ohm, which ive heard is overrated, but I have a 2 gauge wire running to my amp so im guessin im gettting a minimum of 1500wrms out of it.

I also have a completely stock electrical system and Ive yet to have my lights even flicker. When the door is open, the over head light will dim but thats it. Sounds unlikely I know, but somehow it happens.

[skynet4kt]

That's good news lol. Thanks. If u can run this animal subwoofer with stock electricals then I definately should have no problem running two 12" rockford p2's With a 800 or 1000 watt peak amp.

[detroitPOWER]

you should be better with 2 oHM.. 1 will kill ur AMP.. just trust me on that and if you dont beleive me. whebn ur amp goes to shit remember me:D

[c55carlock]

Well Ok you can only wire a 2ohm DVC to 4 or 1 ohm, so 2 isnt even an option, and my amp is stable at 1 ohm, so I think its straight

[wackzirth88]

i agree. its a 1 ohm stable amp. i have a hifonics bxi1210d for like a year now, and been running it at 1 ohm for over half that time and not one problem.

[MaxxsonicsUSAInc]

Nice! 5*'s. What Hifonics amp are you using?

[c55carlock]

bxi2006d

[Bowtome09]

Holy shit.

[22reTOYOTA]

[JackAttack1000]

holy hell!!!
