Well I didn't get anything in until late last night, so I'm waiting on day time to take some good pics. Unfortunately I have work 4-10 right after school today But Saturday I will def have some pics and possibly video. When it comes to the Digits Duran, I don't know of anyone within an hour and a half of me with a TL.. I'm going to go to the local shop to see if they might have one. I'll be impressed if they even know what a Term Lab is though. . .

So i have a friend giving me 4 RF 12" punches tomorrow in a big sealed box. I'm wanting to put it in my car just to see how it sounds. I'm pretty sure the punches are 4 ohm DVCs. Anyone have a good diagram on how I should wire these for minimal impedance? It would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone is curious on how they perform, I will shoot a video and post it on here.

So I got the subs, and turns out that they are 4 ohm SVC subwoofers.. So I can wire all of them to my amp to create a 1 ohm load correct? Four 4 ohm SVC's = 1 ohm? And how should I wire them to my amp? It's a 2 channel Memphis D Class
-
yes I looked at it and it told me exactly what I needed. I was just answering his question. Didn't wanna be rude and ignore his comment Btw, thanks impious for the link.
-
What do you mean "minimal impedance"? What impedance is your amplifier stable at? As for wiring; JL Audio - Car Audio Systems sorry, my amp is 1 ohm stable. And I'd like to wire them as low as possible without it being below 1 ohm

Looking good! I can't wait for these to be released. Any ideas on pricing on these yet?
-
Did some measuing.. Not going to be able to make a sufficient box for 2 15's ported.. But just perfect for one 15. So I guess for now I'll just go with 1 Z15.

I'm trying to decide between a 15" SSA XCON or a Fi BL 15"... My goals are just SPL. SQ isn't a big enough concern to alter my decision. I will be running it in the trunk of a Grand Am in a 4^3ft(ish) ported box at 32 hz, off a memphis 16-st1000d for now at 1 ohm. I've got all my electrical ready.. Just trying to pick between these 2. I've never heard either one personally, so I'm looking for opinions on which would produce higher SPL in this situation. If you have any other opinions on a differen't subwoofer, I'm open for those as well. P.S. BUDGET - 400$

I am currently running a memphis 16-st1000d amp. My question is: If I were to get 2 D2 ohm subs and wire them to 1 ohm on this amp, would it hold up ok? I've read that it has a 1100 watt output on 14v @ 1 ohm. I'm not sure the effenciency or anything though. I've done a little research but havnt found a whole lot. Here's probably the best post I could find: Memphis Car Audio 16-ST1000D
-
well he stated on his forum that he was running really low on the d4s.. And I doubt he feels like holding an extra one for a couple weeks just for me ya know? And I could try to buy one used from someone else, but getting one shipped to my house for the 200$ that he is offering isn't likely to be found. Ya know?
-
I had considered this, but I'm afraid that by the time I'm ready to buy a 2nd one, the d4s will be out of stock. I'm getting the sundown z15s
-
I dont get what you mean how it will hold up? It seems like it will do well considering you can wire 2 D2 subwoofers to 1 ohm, they can only be wired to a 0.5, 2 and 8 ohm final load: Ahh I see now. Thanks again Jay. But I will probably only be running one of these for a while.. So that's really why I was concerned about the "holding up" deal. But I did a little more search in class and it looks like the amp will do fine at 1 ohm. But thanks for the wiring chart..
-
Just noticed that I accedently posted this topic under the Subwoofers/Speakers section... Any mods that can move this to Amplifiers section by chance?
-
Thank you sir... You'll be getting an e-mail from me probably tomorrow. I'll probably end up ordering another within the next 2 weeks as well
-
Ok so I did some research on the Z15's... I can get 2 of these for 20$ more than I can get 1 Fi BL... (Z15 - 400$ shipped, Fi BL - 380$ shipped)A nyone recommend me doing this? I mean it's more cone area, and they seem to be some good subs.. If I got 2 of those as opposed to 1 BL I personally think It'd be better. Any advice?
-
Are these still in stock? If so I'm getting one...
-
Thank you, thank you...
-
the box is going to be plenty sufficiant for either sub. And the BTL is slightly over my budget for now. This is going to be my temporary SPL "fix" until I get a bigger vehicle.

New amps new subs........

I'd settle with the 2 8's ported at 32 hz, do big 3 upgrade, and call it a day. You shouldnt be disappointed. Hair tricks? Possibly.. not promising though. All depends on the setup really. Sure you'll be able to move hair a little, but you're not going to be doing a S.M. afro blaster with 2 8's. -
I say port 2 12's or 1 15" in an optimal box and call it a day. You're also saving money that way by using half the subs and getting louder at the same time. Like stated above, something like 2 15"s ported is going to sound better than 4 15"s in a sealed box. My suggestion: 1 15" Fi BL in a good 4cft box ported at about 32-35 hz. I guarentee you wont be disappointed. If you have the space though, shoot for 2 15"s ported. But remember, 1 sub in an optimal box is going to sound better than 2 subs being choked in a box too small for them.

I just ordered one of the long sleeves.. and I was gonna get a hat but when you go to check out, the only size hat there is is small/med.. but on the first screen there's a large option. So I didn't get to get one

I'm looking into getting a new head unit, and I was wanting some suggestions.. I'm looking for something simple, but quality. I need ability to play MP3 CD's, Have an AUX input, and a USB port that will work with iPod or iPhone (not a major need though). I have an XO vision something or other 3" screen DVD player type head unit that I got from wal mart online for like 100$, and I'm just not impressed with the quality or controls. In order to do anything on the HU you have to use the remote control, which is extremely annoying. The built in EQ is pitiful too. I'm just looking for simple, and quality, with the features I stated above. My budget is about 250-300$. I don't have a lot of experience with head units, so I'm simply just looking for a direction to look in when I plan on updating. Suggestions anyone?
