JNoel was I believe. Not sure if he is anymore.

Gonna need some serious power and a serious charging system. How much power do you intend on using?

2 99 series > 2 BTLs


And they don't make the 99 series anymore. They now call it the 95 series with composite cone option (thats what the 99s essentially were).


Talk to J Noel see if he still is selling his new 9918.......... he had an insane good price on it.

if two 9917 i would run 2 amp's that would be putting out 3200rms each and the btl's full loaded i would think about the same right?
and a 300 amp alt and 3 Kinetik 2400 and 1800 under the hood thanks guys

Watch the volume when running that amount of power daily.

in 95% of cases ur daily driving box isnt going to be the same as your comp box...unless ur doing sq of course. but looking at the subbies i doubt that! hah.

so why not just run 1 sub and half the power for everday and then make a comp box with 2 of the subs and 2x power.

I would still get the DDs, simply because I will not buy Fi subs.

Google "Fi tinsel slap" to see why.

^That's because the casing on the wire had split because it was old. The casing had cracked and you also gave that sub a ton of power :-)
