im sayin that if the one in the pic is actually the 18, then it prolly has the cone area of a 12 b/c of the HUGE surround. anyone kno the coil config? Save and put 5k to that thing if u can.

idk if its dual 4 or dual 2ohm. if its dual 2ohm then put a kx2500.1 on each coil and thatd b insane. maybe a memphis 4kw, autotek 4000.1, 2 memphis mojo 2000ds........
if its dual 4ohm then i dont kno any amps thatll get u close to 5000 at 2ohm.

Visonik sucks jsut as bad as pyle and pyramid. You don't have enough money to run this system properly. Go with some Eclipse Ti instead of Ti Pros. You need a new alt (at least 250 amps), Big 3 wire upgrade, and prolly a couple of Kinetic HC2400 dry cell batts... that will run you

alt=300 (i'm being nice)
big 3=20-30 bucks (if you do it yourself)
batts= 600-800 bucks

run a couple of eclipse ti's. or just 1 15 eclipse ti on 1000 RMS

^^ Agree. Doesnt sound like you have enough money right now to power that sub properly. Either save or think of something else.
