haha no worries. DD make some killer SPL s**t thats for sure. Boston, not so much, biggest rms listed is 1000 from them I think, theyre aimed at SQ really, pretty much everythin else from them is ~500rms. RE make some very nice gear as well.. Fi BTLs (2000rms 12s)..... Even Kickers solo X - 5000rms 18", and the MTX jackhammer (lethal s**t lol - 6000rms 22".. theyve got a 24" square sub now as well :/ )... and thats just some of the more well known mid range gear. :lol:

Ive cut out the mdf to shape, now im debating how to make the floor panels sit even over the spare tyre dips.

How did everyone else decide to do it? (ef boots would be more helpful)

I was going to make slats but then though a frame around the spare tyre cutout..?

Also what did you install your carpet with? Adhesives or some other way?

Any one think the Clarion DPX1851 is over kill for the PXW1252?

Im still learning but the sub is 500RMS but i can't figure out the RMS for the amp, its between 490 and 850 as below..

* 850W x 1 into 2 Ohms, @ 1.0% THD

* 460W x 1 into 4 Ohms, @ 1.0% THD

That sub has got two 4Ohm coils, so you can wire it as

1 only = 4 ohm
2 in parallel = 2 ohm
2 in series = 8 ohm

That amp will be fine. Too much power is better than not enough power.

hey boys only new to the site sorry if someones already asked this but been workin on the boot a bit and thinking about rippin all out n startin again.. just curious what some opinions are of having subs directly behind back seat facing forward built into a wall across the opening as opposed to being inside the boot, i like the idea for the visial aspecs looks nice n neat any feedback on sound quality or if theres even much notable difference?

cheers guys

I have mine facing forward right behind the rear seat (single 12" in box). Its sounds OK to me...

I have been told it depends on the kind of music you listen too as well (mine mainly 70's-90's).

will be fine mate, just make sure to use a free air sub if ur not going to box the sub. free air subs go better in a wall setup

dude i have the same sub you can only wire it up as an 8ohm or a 2ohm never a 4ohm
get the 850W ram at 2ohms cos your sub is 1000W max, and 500w rms just make sure that the gain on the sub is ZERO,

i have the same sub, but with a 1550 rms amp and it is fine.

gain doesnt have to be set to zero, but you start there when you tune it.


if you look on MEA forums you will see a tutorial on how to tune your system the correct way

Yeah I know that, but if your amp overpowers the sub by alot there shouldnt be any need to increase the gain on the amp, you should tune it through the head unit.

You have alot to learn... headunits do nothing but distort the music the internal amp is designed to run stock speakers only. you should ALWAYS tune via the amp. have a read on http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/ and you will learn alot

I understand you can never get the best tuning from the headunit, however in "itlookslikeaxr6" case and mine, because the amp is too powerful for the subwoofer increasing the gain on the amp will cause coils to burn. This is what happened to me and this is why I have to tune it from the headunit; when I say tune from the headunit, I mean the Sub volume. The main tuning was done through the amp, where the bass boost and the bass boost frequency were adjusted, but if I increased the gain, even by a small amount, the coils in the subwoofer start to burn at high music volumes.

and yes I do have alot to learn
