I've seen people / Competitors do this when they compete in Sound Quality AND SPL competition. They have their time aligned sub in the center console and their SPL setup beyond the "B" pillar with alot higher tune. Now when they have to go through the lanes, they have to remove their high end and SQ sub amps cause they will\ count towards the total amplifier output power and would put them in higher classes. Most SPL classes have limitations on number of amplifiers and total amplifier output. But as far as daily drivers go, No Sir, I have not seen a need to have this done.

Check the event listings on their website. Sorry, but I'm not near my laptop to look it up and post a link.

I have a Cobra 29 CB in my truck. Got one in my son's truck too.

Sounds Good Brother. I will be waiting on your PM.

Fellow GMT400 owner !!! Welcome to SSA

Lol. Care to elaborate or make a suggestion? Good questioon. Looks like this is one of the latest products on the market. They are just now taking pre-orders. I run the Kenwood DNX9980HD btw. Very nice headunit for Sound Quality, but it does have the navigation feature that you are not looking for.

Paying for something that last for 25 years or better and that product works just as good today as the day you bought it would seem well worth the money to me. Wouldn't you agree ?? I'm sure that I've got my money's worth 10 fold out of the Drivers that I own. So If they ever go bad, I think I will drive over to the Manufacturer to purchase some new ones and not worry about recones.

I know what you can do Sir, Spring Break Nationals in Daytona Beach is this weekend. Why don't you go down there and talk to PSI personally ?? I'm sure that they will be down there doing what no other manufacturer does, and that's building drivers on location for competition. They will be building drivers Friday and Saturday nights for next day competition runs. Been doing this for the last few events there that I know of. Maybe you can get your answers there ???

Ok Brother, No need to bust my balls any further. Its aparant that you have an absolute hard on to discredit the name of PSI. I'm cool with that. I was just posting my thoughts on a single driver and not necessarily praising the company. Customer brought me a sub needing an enclosure build and I provided a service to get that customer satisfied. Nothing more. Now we are moving on to the next project. I got paid for my services and bought a case of Budweiser and some food for the BBQ Grille. Done as far as I'm concerned. So I will Leave this one alone since I have absolutely nothing to do with PSI. Now as far as the drivers that I used in my truck, They were built in the early 90s and to this day DOES NOT NEED ANY RECONES. I could reinstall my enclosure / drivers tomorrow, throw a meter on it, and still hit a 137.7 db at 28 htz as usual AND THEN PLAY through the Chesky Records Collection Disc with very accurate music reproduction. I do not mistreat anything I own. I haven't looked to anybody for over 25 years to recone my drivers, So why should I worry about that now ???

After talking to several SPL competitors in Hunstville, CT Sounds put on a WAY better showing than Skar Products. I do not run these products, but I have seen several of these amplifiers in SPL competitor vehicles.

A team member designed the enclosure for me. He designs all of our enclosures. I built the enclosure for this build. He Designed this enclosure to origional IA Flatline specs found on the net (So I'm told). I wish I could get my hands on an origional IA Flatline driver just so I can Swap drivers and see if I can tell a difference. I'm not trying to argue with anyone brother. I'm just posting my thoughts on a driver that I got to work with first hand. If anyone within a hundred miles or so from Jackson, Ms with an origional Flatline driver would like to meet up with me and compare drivers, Shoot me a PM so we can meet up some time.

Welcome

They seem to be very popular at major events. ALOT of those amplifers were being used at this past unified World Finals event. Any details on this ?? Maybe post up a link or something ??

I always buy Welding Cable from our local Welding Supply shop. I cut my cables to the desired length, then take them back to the shop to get them to install the connectors. Never had any problems with any of my vehicles or the vehicles I send their way for cable upgrades. Those old school welders really know how to install connectors. Could I do it myself ?? Yea, but I support my friends that work at this local welding Supply shop.

Awesome Driver Welcome to SSA

Did you go to your Vehicle's dealership to get an upgraded Alternator to work with your upgraded aftermarket stereo system ?? No, Most likely you went with someone that took the origional idea and made it better to work with your application. The aftermarket thing has been going on for years with cars and trucks. Where have you been brother ?? I'm sure I will not be able to ease over the local Ford place to buy replacement parts for my 1949 model vehicle. I have no choice but to go aftermarket. Sorry brother, but this post is pure speculation. I have another friend that has a chevy Truck that is similar to mine. Well, His is a GMC and mine is Chevy. His has one of those well named audio aftermarket alternators on it and mine has a General Motors Upgrade off of a 3500 series chevy, but my truck is a 1500 series. Now when you set the alternators side by side, they are identical. If it wasn't for the aftermarket audio brand being powercoated, you could not tell which one is which. So did this well named audio brand (they have a section on this forum) steal ideas and / or parts from origional manufacturers ?? I don't know Guys. Maybe at the time of my friend's need of work being done, nothing was avialiable from IA. Out of stock ?? Who knows ?? But from what I was told, the PSI work got done in a very timely manner.

Like I said, this was for a friend and not my driver, So I'm not sure how he went to PSI instead of factory replacememt. So it's not my place to say if he did right or wrong. All I was stating was how good the driver performs after being built by PSI. Now as far as getting parts from the origional companies ?? Guess that would depend on cost and availiability at the time of needing the work done in a timely manner. From what I've seen at major events, PSI was building SEVERAL drivers over night for next day competition. I do not know of any origional manufacturer that does this. I've never had a chance to demo an origional Flatline driver, So I have nothing to compare to or else I would be glad to give my thoughts on this. I'm thinking the guy bought the sub used and messed up and sent it to PSI. So far, the results of this driver was a positive. So as far as I'm concerned after Seeing the drivers in action in the SPL side of things and now seeing a musical built driver, PSI seems to do good work.

Nice Amplifiers GLWS

WOW ... From what I remember reading about the DD-1 product, It's intended use was for sub bass only. It was never meant for mid bass, mid range, or highs applications. I do not own a DD-1, nor will I ever purchase one. Like I said, I just remember reading about it.

Thank you Sir

There you go brother. PM sent Much room for improvement, but enough to get you started !!! Best of luck Randal

Hmmm Looks like the same head unit my Son is getting for his birthday.
