    Thick MDF and Brace Pieces??

    Glad everyone is responding and being judgmental. I am a highschooler running on a bit of a budget so yes, I try to save money when I can. That was only for one box and I've since been using .75 but have continued to use dowels. I know the issues with cheap companies and try not to skimp on...

    Thick MDF and Brace Pieces??

    I see all these youtube videos of nice subwoofer boxes and enclosures and they they always use either .75" or higher MDF and these large, detailed brace pieces in their boxes for structure. When I made my first box for my CT Sounds Tropo 18", I used .5" MDF and rather than large, waste-of-wood...

    Soundstream AR1.8000D vs. DS18 CANDY-XXL1B vs. Hifonics ZXX-3200.1D

    Look, I'm not dissing your advice. More than likely, I'm going to buy a Taramps amp. I am simply asking for my own knowledge what your views of cerwin vega are and what makes soundstream unreliable. I've considered soundstream good because of their XXX series, but If more than 2 people think...

    Soundstream AR1.8000D vs. DS18 CANDY-XXL1B vs. Hifonics ZXX-3200.1D

    Alright so the subs I am sticking with are Skar SDR-15 's. I know they're cheaper but I already own one and it bumps like a mf'er and I can save some money. Would you still stick with the Taramps? Also, what's your stance on Cerwin Vega amps like the H42000.1D? Cheap or great?

    Soundstream AR1.8000D vs. DS18 CANDY-XXL1B vs. Hifonics ZXX-3200.1D

    So it seems the Soundstream is actually great quality. Why go with a Taramps 3000 or 8000 watt that costs much more than the Soundstream 8000w?

    I've never really heard Taramps before. They're a good, trustworthy company?

    Sundown E-15 or American Bass TNT1544

    2003 Ford Taurus SE, right now I have a Cerwin Vega 2000w monoblock, however I am willing to upgrade to whatever is necessary, Ideally as cheap as possible, I will build the box for the required airspace depending on the subs. Except I cannot seem to find the details on what the American Bass...

    Soundstream AR1.8000D vs. DS18 CANDY-XXL1B vs. Hifonics ZXX-3200.1D

    I'm looking to upgrade my amp as my Cerwin Vega 2000 watt amp cannot keep up anymore. I am pushing two 15's (either Sundown or American Bass) The Sundowns are 1000w each and the AB are 1600w each. I have had no experience with any of these three amp companies and I need help deciding. Not sure...

    Sundown E-15 or American Bass TNT1544

    I'm looking to put two (somewhat cheap) 15's in my Taurus. I mostly have experience with Rockford Fosgate, Cerwin Vega, CT Sounds, and Skar. I've never had any experience with Sundown or American Bass, but I know they are good quality. Nothing is set in stone, so if the American Bass is a better...
