I can't even tell for sure what exactly you're asking... PLEASE use correctly spelled words and properly punctuated sentences in this forum, this isn't caraudiodomain.com or your cell phone. You have much space as necessary to pose a question. The internet shorthand is not necessary.

Trying to translate:

Has anyone used 18" B.a.s.s. Brand woofers?
Would the 18" be louder than the Mofo 15".

"15 wit 3000 watt amp tht pushed 2400rms at 1 ohm." What brand of amp are you using?

"why do tweeters sound so crappy"? Quality tweeters don't start at $5 a pair!

"where can i find an altinator for a 305 chevy 1978 monte carlo"? If you are running this 3000 Watt amp off your stock electrical system I HIGHLY doubt your amp is putting out anywhere near that kinda power.

You're not getting attitude.  You are being asked to please communicate using sentences and proper English so we can understand you.

Generally, if the only place you've ever heard of a brand is EBay, it is flea-market crap.

If you do this little thing, you will have MANY more people answering you, with many more very helpful suggestions.

This means your alternator is too small... Period. (I think, if I am translating correctly what you are saying/asking. Please see my first post to the thread, as well as read my opening statement, again...)

BS. Nine feet deep. Power Kraptastik is ANYTHING but respected, let alone an honestly rated brand. If you had it tested, please scan and post the test printouts, I'd like to see one of these do anything even CLOSE to what it claims. Also, please make sure the test parameters are listed.

If eBay is where you are searching for quality gear, then by all means, buy it there. YOU said you aren't rich in your opening post, and yet you are now asking if a flea-market POS will come close to the performance capabilities of a known, reasonably respected, (NOTHING BUT) SPL woofer? (The Solos are absolutely NOT SQ woofers, don't kid yourself...)

Please see DYohn's response. I only see one attitude so far. Yours. You are GETTING help. You are asking questions about garbage, and people are answering those questions.

Uh, huh... I'm sure they do.

audiocableguy answered this one perfectly. My tweeters cost more than your Power Kraptastik amp and sub combination is worth. In aluminum scrap value. If you gutted it and scrapped it as pure aluminum. Cheap tweeters, powered by a head unit, listening to low bit-rate MP3's are GONNA sound like crap. Hang around, listen to what people are trying to tell you, LEARN A LITTLE BIT, and leave the attitude at the door, and you might just come away with a decent sounding system, even on a modest budget.

K guys wat should i do? what kind of battery optima or wat ya suggest. Would 4 rockford p3 12s ported be louder than 2 memphis mojo 15s. Or should i put 4 p3 15s in sealed box. wanna bang hard , have a 1978 monte carlo. What should i use for sound deadener im takin interior out was going to use the sound spray that deadens noise , or just use the sheets??? ive always used 5nd half or 4 inch 3 ways instead of tweeters hooked to a 3oo watt amp for voice. wats a good tweeter brand theres so many. my shops i buy my audio r redmonds, and abc warehouse sometimes. Theres not alot of places to go that i know of , I live in the thumb of michigan. So if ya know of any where to go that would be great.

"ive always used 5nd half or 4 inch 3 ways instead of tweeters hooked to a 3oo watt amp for voice".

so you are using coax speakers instead of independent mount tweeters?
Multiple 12"s 15"s or 18"s your going to need more than a pair of 4" or 5" coax.

At this point I wouldn't be concerned with sound deadening. Your voltage regulator should be checked if you are reading 15.1V.
