 +1, I run Omegas in my HDs and I was suprised how low they go, especially when you stack a few together. WinkBig smile

Oh - thats look interesting - i've been using all the day just reading about sub, kick, reflex, win isd etc. etc.

And i was actually thinking about this design earlier today, wondering why i haven't seen a design like that. The best from 2 worlds? horn AND reflex? Horn spreads it good out and i'm going to use it outdoor and the horn is making the sound nice and tight.

I would imagine your best bet would be to get on WinISD (its free and very easy to use) and design a reflex enclosure specifically for the driver parameters. You can then change the shape so that it fits perfectly in your bike, and have a box which is perfect for the driver.

You want the highest driver efficiency possible. I dont actually no whats available but the PD 154 looks very efficient! Still possibly worthwhile doing some research to see if their's anything that will squeeze out a bit more sound for less power. 

Have a look in the 12V systems section, may see a lot of your questions answered.

Do you think any of these from Sure can take 1 of my PD154?

Where can i find some plans for making these slim bins ?

Have a look at Sure Electronics' products - they have several very useful 100 watt+ high-efficiency amp modules that work on 24-48v, and also a small boost converter that takes 9.5-15v input and generates 18-48v output. And it's all very, very cheap LOL
As for a bass bin to build, don't build the HD215. It is tuned pretty high and has a small mouth, requiring at least 3 in a stack to achieve proper horn action. A 2x15 reflex (like davey t's "Slimbin") would give you more useful bass in about the same size box.

Absulum - if you have better solutions i would be very glad to hear!

i'm going to play hip hop and house music most of the time. I power i all up with a battery (not from a car) in danish called forbrugsbatteri - like them you have on boats an other places to use power and not in a car where you only use 1 punch of power to start the car.

i havent found any amplifier yet - my battery is 12 v so i need to step it up in some way..

I'd do a tapped horn or just a reflex, would work much better than HD and a 215 is quite big for that trolley.
