The Q and the PPI are a nice match. Hooked everything up and it hits hard and deep. I'll post some pics later.

... I think they put the wrong coil in my sub.... Love those videos. Thanks Blake. Just want to make sure the amp wouldn't melt down on me.

Getting ready to power up my First Q that finally arrived and after putting it in the box I hooked up my DMM to ensure I wired it correctly and it is reading.75 ohms. I ordered the dual 2 ohm so I could run at 1. Amp is a PPI 1800BK which is 1ohm stable. Should I be concerned?

Any other ideas out there? Am I crazy to think taking the sub speaker level would increase distortion?

From the sub? I cant use it from the door speakers as the head unit has a crossover and sends lows to the sub only. I was trying to avoid going about it this way as I know the factory amp will increase distortion. If I can eliminate it I would like to.

I have a 2010 Ford Explorer with the Audiophile system and Nav. It has a factory installed 8 in. sub that is sounds like crazy. Today my PPI Bk 1800.1D arrived and I want to start getting everything hooked up so when the Fi Q comes in I will be ready to go. Here is the problem. I would...

Anyone else? Ordering on Friday...

I like the CT Sounds especially with the voltage indicator base nob with clipping light, however it is 1400 watts and over $400. The PDF BK1800.1d is only $195. Is there really that big of a difference between the two amps to support paying double?

I am also in need of a big 3 kit. Still available?

Any online stores that sell soundqubed or CT Sounds? I like the idea of the clip no light on these however I haven't had any luck finding anyone who sells them... Also, think I'll be OK with just the big 3 and the replacement battery?

So the PDF BK1800.1d looks like the winner. Just want to make sure you guys think I will be OK on electrical with a big 3 and switching out to a red top Optima. I really don't want to fry my alternator.... Or should I be looking at an amp that costs a bit more?

What would you recommend that would be less current hogging?

Open for suggestions. I am a bit of a book here and could use the input. What would you recommend? I don't mind spending some cash, however I do want to keep it as cheap as possible. Does the amp make that much of a difference?

OK, so I do the big 3 and swap out the stock battery with a red top and I should be good?

I should also add this is going in a 2010 v6 Explorer and I am planning on adding a cap but no additional electrical system upgrades. Think I'll be OK?
