Do you have room for 4 15's, ported? That's gonna take up most of your space.

Last I heard Kyle Richardson of Acoustic Visions sells both those drivers and should be able to give you insight on both of them.

im going to be getting a jeep and do not care how much space i take up, so yes i should have enough room for all of them. they are not going in the celica lol, it doesnt have a HO alternator big enough to for that much power. i will probably have about 10-15 cu^ft for the box if not more if i would need it. im not planning on going all that cheap with this system, probably about 2grand total (with cd player, and accesories necessary for install included) im planning on getting the ROCKFORD FOSGATE POWER T15002 to power the subs, otherwise a few smaller amps (1 per sub) which would also be rockford. would the T15002 put out to much power for 4 of the tempest x 15" ------------- two 12" cadence TXW-12S, cadence TXA-3002 amplifier, 1990 toyota celica system 10 speakers

hard to say without knowing the specs on the woofers. there is some math involved when figuring this out, and most of the time it comes down to the BOX.

Here...------------- It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

yea sorry about last post, i didnt have alot of time and i think i misspelled something in my google search. i have only one problem, i dont have email at my house and school has it blocked. imma try posting a thread on one of those forums they have and see if anyone reply's. other then that, there isnt any insite you guys could give me? as far as box size, tunning frequency. i will more then likely be going with the tempests because i want to try them. only one year warrenty though, i guess that is what most are though....

It's really hard to say as the install will have a huge impact on the performance. The Tempest has more linear excursion capabilities so displacement should be higher. However due to the XBL^2 motor the coil will more than likely be shorter, and therefore able to handle less power. This could be an issue if you are going to be at the subs thermal limits. I don't see any coil information on Fi's site, so this is only an assumption.

yes the power handling is really low on the tempests, one 600 watts i believe. right now i have a 1200 watt cadence amp so i would be able to power two of them. because of money issues with my car breaking down again i will only be able to guy either two of the tempests or one of the fi SSD (cannot afford a bigger amp right now for two ssd) thank you for your replies, every bit of information is helpful.
