Is nasty a good thing?
Next Build will be an Old School build with PPI or Orion
I've never used a cap. I used wheel chair batteries. I couldn't tell any difference bt them and yellow tops. I haven't messed with this stuff in years. I don't even know who the top companies are anymore. Best amp I ever had was a PG m100.

for some it takes a little longer to get the teenager out of us... i had a pretty nice system in my truck in highschool.. had two kicker 12s in the extended cab. damn things would make your nose itch and take your breath away when you cranked em up in that little tiny cab. when i traded it and bought my toyota i kept the factory stuff for a while and eventually just had to add a little bass. have one RF shallow mount 12 behind the seat now.... i say i wont put anything in my next vehicle but i know im prolly lying. i still love to crank it up when a good song comes on.
this stuff is like anything else, if you get out of the loop, and come back in later, it takes a while for it to all come back to you. i just bought an amp and two speakers for my boat, and it took me a week of reading to catch back up on the technical mumbo jumbo....

I can imagine. My best friend and I built our own enclosures and did our own installs (along with half of our high school's). We made a pretty good hustle during those days. Between him and I we had just about every name that was popular of the time. Kicker, JL, MTX, RF, ORION, MEMPHIS, PHEONIX GOLD, etc.
The most impressive system I ever had was a trio of W6 12's with a Memphis 1000d in a 1996 ext cab Dodge Dakota. Something about the electrical system in that truck was different. I ran a red top under the hood and a wheel chair battery per amp. Only aggravating thing is I had to put the receiver on a pedestal because we couldn't reenforce the dash well enough. Those w6's sounded good in everything and through a wide range of air space. At one time I had them in a common chamber 2.0 per sub with 6'' PVC ports. The amount of air those things moved was unreal. Put them in sealed .95 and they sounded even better.
One of the biggest disappointments that I had were the ORION HCCAs. I had two 15's with a 1000d per sub. Those things were a joke. I fried about six of them before I decided to call it quits. Sealed, vented, ported. It didn't matter, I fried them in hours. The last system I had was you bet, a trio of w6s sealed with a 1000d. I rocked them until one of the dust caps finally started to rattle then I got out of it altogether.
I think i may start a build to take to Spring Break Nationals next year. Just got to get some mo funds.
I've been out if it for some time but still appreciate good sound. Plus I work with electronics in my job and never lost touch with how to install, just kinda lost track as to the big players in the game. I still have my MTX 5 channel amp collecting dust that I pulled from the f150. I've been debating on whether to put the 2 RF 10's under the back seats of my Canyon, or just wait til I get another truck in the next year or so. But I had to put mids/hi's in it, the stock junk was fried when I bought it and I couldn't stand it anymore.

Delta in a nutshell: Breeding grounds + small wetlands + big blocks of grass cover + predator removal + nesting structures + enough money to do the job= plenty of ducks to keep everyone smiling!

Sell those RF's. Buy one Sundown sa-8 and you will be happy. I want to say they need less than .5 cuft .
I have the old box, been trying to sell em in the box but didn't get any serious bites. If I do decide to do the install, I'll check em out. I'm hoping the job situation will get better after I graduate college in 6 weeks and I can go on and buy the truck I want and wait to put 'em in that vehicle.

ahhh.. those Sundown sa-8s look interesting. ive got 200watts rms left on my amp in my new jon boat. i was just out there measuring to see if i had enough room to build a 1-1.5 cubic foot box to fit one of my old mtx 12s under the back seat.... i think i can make one fit but it will be tight. i KNOW i can build a .5 cubic foot box to stick under there. i may just need to wait and pick up one the sundowns. i was just going to experiment with the sub i already had just for shits and giggles but now this sundown has me thinkin.
I was wrong the Sa-8 is .28 cuft.

With that size fitting .28 cuft you could add 2 6 1/2s in a box and wouldnt take up much room and be easy too remove
