    ok......... what 12 in sub should i get alpine srw or kicker cvx

    If you must ahve kicker, and want it clean, go for a cvx. I had one in my old truck and was quite pleased with the results... But its much more than $200 like Pernilongo said, sealed is going to be the way to go. For most 12" subs i recommend a sealed box about 1-1.5 cu/ft... Since you have...

    1jz bottom end

    He means to check and make sure that the crankshaft, and connecting rod bearings are still within spec. If they are worn heavily then it will cause more vibration and somewhat an elliptical motion on the crank, which will stress the crank, bearings and rods to the point of breaking. If i...

    New Alpine Head Unit, Antenna Stuck Up

    typically its supposed to just go to the antenna wire from the radio which is typically solid Blue. Or in some cases Blue/white which is the amp turn on wire...

    Dual 12" Tire well enclosure.

    Well, heres yet another small update... As mentioned earlier i have bondo'd the box, and i am in the slow and tedious process of sanding the bondo smooth.

    Dual 12" Tire well enclosure.

    Ill surely post weight when done. but from the feel of it, the box probably weighs about 65-75lbs so far.... lol :( Then each sub weighs 26lbs, and the 2 amps i have are about another 15lbs. Audio man, you did very nice glass work. I wish i had only spend a little more time on the actual tire...

    Mounting Subs in supra's trunk

And to find what the box is tuned at, just measure the box dimensions, and the port dimensions and tell me what they all are. And also tell me what subs are in the box... Ill plug all the info in and let you...
