Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1353 Registered: Jan-06 | Just curious. I have been running a strapped pair of Kicker sx1250's at 1ohm for the past couple of days on my SX 15 and it has been sounding loud as hell. Polo..  |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4769 Registered: Oct-05 | thats alot polo. lol. i plan on running a orion 2500d to mine. my sx is dual 1ohm so i am going to connect it in series to give me a 2ohm load. at 2 ohm that amp is 1700wrms. |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1357 Registered: Jan-06 | Ya, I am running over 2500 rms at 2 ohm but it is at 1 ohm so you should be able to get away with an Orion at .5ohm. Try it and let me know, lol.. Polo. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4772 Registered: Oct-05 | only way i would run it at 1 ohm is if i am entering a comp. for daily that would be insane. |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1358 Registered: Jan-06 | I planned on blowing it, just hasn't let loose.. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3073 Registered: Mar-04 | i run mine on about 1700-1800wrms daily now  |

Silver Member Username: Andysd03Post Number: 373 Registered: Jan-06 | 1 ohm wouldnt be insane for daily drivin for me that would be just right 2 and 4 ohm is too quite for me 2 ohms isnt bad but 1 ohm is just right now .5 ohm on everyday is frqin insane that would be too much I am selling my kicker2500.1 just so i can get the orion2500d to run it in 1 ohm and polo u better watch your sub closly cause when it blows it can catch fire and with that much power it would produce alot of smoke and could catch your car on fire if u dont catch it soon enough thats why its dangerous to be tryin to blow a sub and drivin cause u wouldnt know its blown and smokin until u smell and say what is that obvious smell lol by then the subs on fire! |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4774 Registered: Oct-05 | i meant to say .5 ohm on my post. since i have a dual 1 ohm sub. |

Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1362 Registered: Jan-06 | Hahahah, Ya I know. Ia m not literally trying, I just said that but if it becomes a casualty of war then, hey it was for a good cause and I will have found out the shear limits of that sub. Think of it as a REAL LIFE no bs test. Today I really pounded the sh!t out of it and old trusty is just taking it! I haven't even smelled any stinky or anything, great sub. You can run that 2500 at 1 ohm all day! The 2500.1 is made of two 1250's internally speaking and I have been running my strapped set at 1 ohm for a long time and I have been running them single at .5 ohm for an even longer time, you should be fine just turn the gains down to 1/4 or less and make sure you have A LOT of power. That Kicker is a much better amp than the Orion, sorry Orion fans.. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4779 Registered: Oct-05 | lol when i have a nice back up sub then i will try that. i am researching a few subs i have in mind for my next monster install. 18 ssx 18 ti pro 18 xxx (older model) |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1363 Registered: Jan-06 | Try not selling all of your subs and you will have a backup, lol/..Polo. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4792 Registered: Oct-05 | i think i will stick with the orion 2500 wired at 2ohm giving me 1700wrms. my first choice was the kx2500 or the zx2500 but that would give me all 2500wrms on my sx. i think thats too much for daily. however i can take it easy on the gain. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4793 Registered: Oct-05 | oh forgot to mention the main reason for choosing the orion. the price. i can't find a kicker for under 500 but the orion is under 500. |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1365 Registered: Jan-06 | I agree, I also think the amount I am putting to my sx is too much but it is taking it like a good wh0re, who am I to interrupt this fun? You should see the spaghetti in my trunk. I have nothing boltred down yet, lol. Polo.. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4796 Registered: Oct-05 | well polo i'll keep you posted after i get the orion or another amp thats more powerful than the current one i have. you will see a single re sx 18 hit in the low 150s. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3095 Registered: Mar-04 | polo...once you kill that SX...how much you want for it |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4798 Registered: Oct-05 | marshall you think its possible to make a mold for a aeroport with a knife. i mean carving it with a knife. damn i don't have lathe or whatever you call it. |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3096 Registered: Mar-04 | just stack a few MDF rings (4-5) each roughly 1" less in diameter than the last and fill the gaps w/ bondo that what i did, you can mold it into a curve too. i also just tried a bowl for 6" and a saucer for 4" w/ 2 mdf rings that fit inside the pipe. it was quick to build and did pretty good for 4" pipe w/ a heat gun. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3097 Registered: Mar-04 | http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=2638472 one of my first tries w/ 4"...i got better at building them since then. http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=2654051 6" flared w/ a bowl |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4799 Registered: Oct-05 | thats awesome. i gotta try that. only problem is home depot don't have 6 inch pvc pipes. damn. 4 inch is the biggest they have. |

Silver Member Username: Waterboy2289Martinez, Georgia USA Post Number: 125 Registered: Jan-06 | how loud do you guys think 2 sx 18's on a soundstream pca 3500d will get(2ohm daily/.5ohm comp) ps- the install will be in a 99 4runner |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4810 Registered: Oct-05 | it would get loud. |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3100 Registered: Mar-04 | matt...i could see 152's out of a system like that, but your vehicle will prolly peak at about 42-45hz. |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1367 Registered: Jan-06 | I now think it is entirely possible to hit a 150+ with a single Re sx 15. Polo... |
|
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3107 Registered: Mar-04 | oh yea...its more than possible to hit 150+ in the right car w/ the right box. i mean, dam...i'm getting 148's w/ 3cuft an only 600w after box rise. if i had your 2 sx1250's strapped at 1ohm, i would be in business my box rise is ~3ohm. |
|
Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 118 Registered: Jul-06 | Heh, I saw quite a few setups of a single 12 inch sub hit in the 148's yesterday.I actually saw a 12 inch kicker pull off a 149 so it's not too surprising to hit 150 with a single sub. |
|
Gold Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 1368 Registered: Jan-06 | Did you try a larger box, 3 cf is kinda small for a sx 15? Polo.. |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4828 Registered: Oct-05 | ima add another port this weekend to my 6.5 cuft box. i think i will tune it to 36hz. then i am gonna get it metered with only 1000wrms to see what i can hit. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3108 Registered: Mar-04 | there are a few guys here in louisiana playing around w/ SX's...diffenent box designs and such. a few of them are running SX15's in 2.8cuft and getting loud as h3ll. depending on what freq your vehicle likes, different box sizes work better than others. EX, if your vehicle likes a low note use a big box. But one trouble w/ big boxes is that you tend to get more box rise and your sub actually sees less power. plus, w/ a smaller box subs can handle more power physically. the dont move as much. its all trial a error...i'm prolly gonna try bout 4cuft later on, or i may just get a second SX15 like i have been planning to do for like 4 monthes...loll |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 429 Registered: Nov-05 | you shoulda bought mine from me when I was selling it .. or I would have traded it for your RE 35.1.. lol. know anyone looking for 2 RE 8"s? I need to plug my box and fine the resonant frequency of my car so that will probably be the next step before I built a new box.. but idk. I need to sell the last one i made. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3109 Registered: Mar-04 | i have a lil something up my sleave ***cough-sponsor-cough*** i may get rid of everything i got right now and start from scratch |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4829 Registered: Oct-05 | well i was thinking 4 cuft at first but i figured thats kinda small for a 18inch. |
