Hi.

Have not had a chance to try the plug i have at home, but hopefully ill try it tomorrow.

Also, i have all the parts needed, except for the material for the box. However, my 10weeks old son is taking up most of my time, so i have'nt gotten around to build the box.

Ill keep you posted.

Thanks mate.

BTW. Regarding the plug for the level input.

I have tried the mentioned pc power cable plug now, and can confirm that it is a perfect match.

This is the squared type..

hahahaha, the weather is getting warmer and my bass speaker is already collecting dust in the garage (bought it months ago)... im bidding tonight on a amp... then whats next?

OK - so i need to close myaccount on X5 world.. adding this to the list of mods.. and probably will do the tweeters at the same time. I'm in no rush though since I'm doing the DVD Invisions soon... but who knows.. if it comes together.. it comes together..

So I have a preference of Elemental Design subs - they are great. Have one in the house system and it's mind blowing.

Here's the speaker I'm thinking of going with - let mek now if it will work - depth of 5" and it's a 10" speaker (measured 10.25").

I'm not a great car audio person so need guidance.

Would the alpine amp work? the one we're discussing here? Please advise..

[Essam Khafagi]

rasta, first, your suggested sub will barely fit in the stealth enclosure. Second, how much is the recommended enclosure volume for this sub?

As for wiring the amp, I don't know if you have the same amp as mine or not. Can you take a pic of the plug that I showed on the first page? if it is the same amp/plug then you can tap on the same pairs I used to get the speaker level input to the new amp.

OK, I just checked your link and it says that the ideal is 0.5 cubic foot with acceptable range from 0.3 to 0.6 ... then you are OK with our box

This will keep us only with the wiring issue ...

I don't have an amp at all yet. Would the alpine amp suggested drive this sub?

Yes it can ... and you can go to a bigger amp such as MRP-M450 or any other amp with 300W RMS minimum
