update on chosen system. "chosed"

[sonso_chi]

So I joined Ubid today and they had the Rockford Fosgate type RF x7 amp https://www.ubid.com/Actn/Cls/getArchPa ... D=10657162 up and the bidding price was low so I jumped in and won it for $285, brand new. I'm in IL though so I have to pay sales tax . Supposedly, via the site (the amp was from Ubid store directly) there is a 1 year warranty.

I'm a little excited. I feel like I got a steal, the eBay price for the same amp was $410.

I can't wait to get it.

Everything is on it's way:

2 12" Diamond Audio D6 subs http://cgi.ebay.com/DIAMOND-CAR-AUDIO-D ... dZViewItem

pre fab sealed enclosure http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-FOSGATE-COMP ... dZViewItem I know, it's a rip off but the specs were darn near perfect for the Diamond audio recs for sealed enclosure volume, I even accounted for the sub volume displacement. At most I may have to reinforce the box with screws or L-brackets if that

RF x7 1500w @ 2ohms https://www.ubid.com/Actn/Cls/getArchPa ... D=10657162

Knukonceptz 4ga wiring kit http://cgi.ebay.com/KnuKonceptz-eKo-4-G ... dZViewItem I still have a lot of 2 ga from my last setup if I choose to use it

So I just need to get everything and make sure it's all new (or at least looks new to me) and works and I'm :)

Thanks for ALL the input :happy055: I'll keep you updated

Yah I've got my 4 AWG KnuKonceptz kit and my JL XR650CSi JL Speakers sitting right next to me. My amp should be coming Firday, I sure hope my sister doens't miss it because my doorbwell is broken, and hopefully installing Saturday.

Need to scrounge up like $50 for install thoguh

i love how people selling boxes over-exxagerate ... its a "hardcore" box made from 3/4" mdf not plywood. that means its going to have "deep base"! :P

edit: are you planning on refinishing the box so you don't have kicker on the side(s?)?

[sonso_chi]

^honestly I hadn't planned on it...not sure though

[Ryan from Ohio]

OK box, to bad its got a old kicker solo symbol on it.

That tells me these boxes are way old. Probably 7+ years old...

^ thanks for the input and feedback

ok if your getting the D6's (very nice subs) you are going to want a different box. there are a few people on these forums that can help you with a box but it is going to cost you a bit more. if you want to go with a site or two here they are.

for my experience those two sites take about 3-4 weeks for it to be made and shipped. i would recommend having someone on here to make one for you, they do superb jobs.

just my imput

Terry (smoker) or maybe it was Devin? Has some good prefab boxes pm him, and he might have something that could work instead of one of the kicker boxes.

I am a alittle confused, so are the manufacture's recommendations for volume of a sealed enclosure for their subs not good.

I am really not sure so it's not a smart a-- question. And the box is 3/4 MDF, so I don't understand why it's not a good box. I don't want to go ported, at least not for now...

Let me know

Thanks

if that box was truly for a solo 12, you are looking at about 1.0cf of airspace per sub. Check the requirements for the D6 subs, I highly doubt that they will perform in such a small enclosure. Mind you, that box looks as if it is made for the old solos, you know the good ones.
