good start. You know, you can always get either an Audio Control DQL8 or a Zapco DSP6-SLII and have EQ/X-Over/Time Alignment/Etc... I happen to know a guy that sells both these brands....

Too much of my time from age 17-23ish was spent slaving over EQTs in the blistering summer heat. Not going to open that can of worms again. I still cringe when I hear the word 'processor', regardless of context. I've seen some things man... some stuff. Thnx tho. If I do break down finally, I'll let you know. I might be crying. Don't judge me.

Hooked everything up to test tonight....

HOLY SHIT.

It sounded like a jackhammer beating on all the panels and anything slightly loose in the hatch area.

Fucking violent.

Looks like I have to start securing shit back there with gusto if I want to hear anything but wild vibrating fury.

Im just saying, it hits really hard.

This setup is toast. I cant use silicon like I was planning to secure it to the car. Going with a smaller enclosure of .75ft^3 for better midbass (killing the subsonics on the amp) in the spare tire well with a false floor. I should be able to attach everything to the floor of the spare tire well far more easily.

I have some 2 part expanding foam around here if you want to try form fitting that enclosure in.

But you are right, those SE series subs from RE are fucking amazing for output and clarity....I can't wait til one of my sponsored cars makes it's debut w/ 3 SE10's in it.

3 xxx's? Good god. Those subs take at least 2000w each. 6kw is nothing that your stock electrical system should even be attempted with. I'm pretty sure thats 700-800 amps current draw, more as the voltage goes down. You'd need at least 2 huge alternators, a mess of batteries, substantial cables, upgraded mains, etc. You could run 1 hifonics sampson which should give around 6000w @ 1.34 ohm with some headroom to spare. At that point I don't think you are talking about a budget anymore tho. Playing with 6000w, there are alot of subs that will move alot more air than the XXX, which, lets face it, is the likely goal of such a system. You honestly arent going to run 6000w in a daily driven car so the SQL design of the XXX is moot.

1 XXX, 2000w ok sure, still gonna need to beef up that electrical system tho.

Hell, im running a 150 amp alternator and 2 gauge (it's a short run) for just this 700 w. The point being my lights don't dim and I am already set up to run 1250w into 2 subs if I want to.

Oh, and I threw together a .75ft^3 box tonight. Gonna let it dry and try it out tomorrow. My prediction is very tight midbass with great low end extension still. Im not looking for -3 at 35hz or anything but I don't listen to rap anyway
