    Both excellent choices! :thumbsup:

    Thats a toss up for me. If you want SPL I think the Ultimo might be your best bet, I'm thinking Audiofrog is good for SQL.

    Bastard. I hate you. Lol.

    Mine is like 45 minutes but usually involves me cursing up a storm and getting pissed off.

    Since we're down the spark plug rabbit hole...

    IIRC, the supercharger kit came with Denso IKH22 (5345) plugs. What's the NGK equivalent?

    I've also seen Denso VKH22 (5619) plugs recommended. What's the difference? Is there an NGK equivalent?

    Believe it or not it's all on page 1. Lol.

    I have never heard of the VKH22 before but I wouldn't touch them.

    Edit: Not that they are worst than IKH, but they are probably more expensive.

    Not sure how I missed that... :anonymous:

    I don't know much about them, but I THINK I saw someone here (TW, but not on page 1 :D) mention them as another possibility.

    I mean...the Morel looks cooler too. I’ll think it over. Focal has some nice stuff too, for a hefty price.


    It would be even quicker if I didn’t have all these extra cylinders to work with :anonymous:

    Focal has always been incredibly expensive. I think they tailor towards the the SQL crowd, and not necessarily the SPL crowd. You'll never find a subwoofer competition winner who is running a Focal subwoofer.

    Where are y'all sourcing these from? Got a part number? I'll pick some up here soon.... and I dont mind the oversized SC crank pulley, as long as it fits with the thermostat housing.

    Morel is specifically for SQ although overall SPL performance is supposed to be decent. Can’t comment on the audiofrog stuff.

    $1k is the cheapest I can find for any sub they have that I would like. I have other stuff I need lol.

    Good to know. I think the Morel should be good for me. With a 5.1” voice coil I don’t think it’ll disappoint. Even with my cheap JBL sub everything in my trunk rattles like crazy with bass heavy music. I’m sure the Morel will sound better and hit harder, which means even more dynamat time.

    I see a lot of good reviews on the audiofrog but I can never tell what group it’s geared toward. Also it being made in China is repellent with me being Chinese.

    Everybody needs a little soul in their life

    I'm looking forward to it to. It's gonna be hard to give feedback though because the goal is to install all of this in the next 24hrs. Halfway there. Cam gears are done. Injectors almost done. Headers are next while blower is off. 20190703_155133.jpg
