What prices are you looking at for both amps? If you are comparing 1500D to 3000D then their prices are identical right? Have you looked for some second hand saz1500D? I've seen some for 300$. I don't know how much is AudioPipe but you can find some good amps for cheap. Look here for actual power : SSA Car Audio Forum -> Sundown Technical These are the trade offers for my IA 40.1, which needs to be repaired. I read that page before. If those are accurate marks, then the AP is a more powerful amp, unless I am reading wrong.

lol, I'm a tard... I was thinking that the AP was mono block... So technically, I could run 1 sub per channel @ 2 ohm on the AP and get about 1000 watt RMS, right? Can the 1500D push near 2k @ 1 ohm?

I thought the AP was 1 ohm stable... It says that they are rated at 3000k @ 1 ohm. My thought was that even if they are overrated, I could still get over 2k rms with imp rise... What type of actual power should I expect from a SAZ-1500D. I have read both that they are underrated and that they are rated to the specs...

The Q's are ridiculous sealed IMO. I liked the sound much better when I had them sealed.

That's who it was! Thanks man.

Long story short - My car was in shop and amp came back fried. I believe that two of the FET's need to be replaced. Where can I send the amp to get repaired properly? Someone told me a while back but I can't remember who they said to send it to. 6 months without it is starting to drive me nutz!

Congrats man! THAT is what life is about. I got my second one on the way in 3-4 weeks. She's about to pop already, so hopefully she makes it full term.

Let me know how it sounds.

They are about 3/4 the way through. u94gS4tF3SE I'm the guy at the end, in the tank top, with the big breasted girl (black bikini top) I did the production and editing, so I hope its all good.

Yeah, I have rights to everything. I'll send you a few tracks that make speakers happy.

Yeah, I don't expect everyone to like it, especially people who aren't from Miami. It's was meant to be a local track to gather a following down here. We have other tracks that are more universal and commercial. Adobe Premiere Pro.......to capture, but only used Ulead Video Studio 11 for actual editing.

Ha ha yeah, it was good times during the shoot! Yeah, those are Q15's.

Oh, the subs are mine too, lol.

I played with it more lastnight and damn! My wife yelled at me, lol..."You're gonna break your car!" I want to meter it now to see if I gained at all. Sure feels and sounds like it.

I have 4 Q15's ported in 10ft^3 tuned to 32hz on a IA40.1 @ .5 ohms. I am hitting 152db on a TL and 159.6db on AC mics, but I have it tuned for music and I feel the Q's are much more powerful down low. I compete locally for fun in unsanctioned events and have a nice lil collection of trophies. So this past Sunday, a local but large Car Club asked me to join up, because they want an SPL division for SBN and whatnot, and they have and audio shop on board to help with builds. So I agreed, but know that I need to do better then 152 on a TL to have a chance in an "official" comp. I have only a 140 amp alt, but I have 2 batts for my electrical and the IA 40.1. Max box ~10cubes. What would be my best choice and amount of subs for an SPL setup, with what I have? I will keep 1 or 2 of the Q's and keep a sealed box for daily, and throw in the SPL box when I compete. I want to run with Fi subs, but I'm not sure if I should go with 2 BTL 15's or 3-4 BL 12's or what ever. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

I own a pest control company. I am trying to pickup Rental building, hospitals and resturants. I have one resturant chain, a nursing home and believe we are being approved for a Management company to pickup 7 rental communities with a few hundred units each. We are also working on a Bed Bug prevention plan to market to all of the magor hotels across the contry. If I land a few more accounts I should be fine. I also have a small record label which will make money of one of my artists get signed to a major label. BassRace is a good option. I will look into it. I also payed with the settings on my HU and amp. I just put the HU in a couple days before the show, and found a separate bass setting maxed out, which affected the subwoofer volume. I have the gain very low and my subs where heating up. Now with the bass to 0, I turned my gain up and it hits harder and no heating up the subs....I guess the signal from the HU was clipping...is that possible?

Get the Q and upgrade later if you want more. A single Q is still stupid loud and the 30's n lows are disgusting with the Q's. Just make sure you build right and give it clean power.

What do you want out of your system? Loud DEEP bass, that is musical and tight, or REALLY REALLY LOUD bass ?

Dual 1's and the 40.1 runs fine at .5 ohms. I dont think I will be getting that much equp. Right now. Isn't there an amature class to get started in? I would have to get some funding to get some of that stuff. Can I compete and still play music? I am thinking about keeping one of the Q's so I can listen to music while not competing, but if I can create a loud setup that meters well and still hits low, then I'm all for that. I figured I would just switch out the box. If my business picks up the way we expect it too, then I will probably pick up a CRX or something that can be dedicated to farts. I need to see what this shop is willing to invest. Maybe I'll just make them by the stuff if I can convence them too.

You need to double up that power. Two Q15's on an IA40.1, snapped the welds connecting the sheet metal of my roof to the cross bracing in my Magnum.

My setup is 4 Q15's tuned to 34hz (lowering it to 28hz soon..hopefully) on an Incriminator Audio 40.1 @ .5ohms in a Dodge Magnum.

Somethins moving, that's for sure.

I like loud and yes the 4 Q15's Sealed in LOUD!!!!, but I think I may change up so I don't have such a huge box in the back. When I was running only 2 Q15's ported in my magnum, my boy was running the single 18" BTL ported in his Impala and we were hitting identical #'s. He was pushing the BTL with a Power Acoustic 2000 and I was pushing the 2 Q's with a US Amps MD2. We both metered 152.7 legal on an AC mic. Once I stepped up to a 4 pack of Q15's and an IA 40.1 @.5ohms, I got about a 5 db increase and alot of air movement, which makes for nice hair videos..... I guess what I am wondering is....with an 18" BTL in 8cubes ported properly and tuned to 32hz and the same power I am giving the 4 Q's, will I still be able to move air like I was? People have been coming to some of the local shows just to sit in my car and have their hair blow around..... I figure that I will be louder then what he was metering because I am more then doubling the power and giving it a bigger enclosure and more port area, but no, I don't expect to be as loud as the 4 Q15's are right now. It will be easier for me to dominate my class locally too, so I can get more trophies. What do you guys think about the change? I am typing alot because I am trying to keep my mind off of my phone just getting stolen....UUHHG!

Maybe I'll go with 6 ports. Either way, it will be louder, and that's my goal, not the SQ. It still sounds cleaner the most setups at the shows down here.

It's five 4" round ports, not one single port. Would SIX ports be louder then FIVE, or will it just cut down on port noise? My enclosure is not being built until next week after SEMA so I can still play with the calculations a bit.
