Why is this still in the Team SSA section??

Spent the day re-shingling the grandparents roof. My back is killing me.

Hello im new the audio world and am looking into getting my first system. I am looking at getting a Sundown SA-15 woofer, but am lost on what amp i should get. Im looking to spend around 150 or so on an amp but not sure what would be a good combo with the SA-15. Would an Audio Pipe AP-10001D be a good decision or an AQ 750. Any ideas?

Hello, my name is Zach and I'm looking into building my first system and came here to get some advice to make it a good one

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I've been looking into AP as you suggested as well. Are there any good external SSF's available? I looked around and didnt see anything, but if the price is right that is something I would be willing to invest in

I originally planed to tune to 35hz because that is suitable for my music preference. I don't listen to much doctored music that would drop much below 30-33HZ. I'm not too worried about having to tune to 33 because I shouldn't hear much of a difference between tuning at 33 or 35. Am I correct in assuming I would have to tune to 33HZ if the JL's SSF is fixed at 30hz? I have read that the general rule is about 3hz below tuning, but it is dependent on the sub and enclosure specs and the amount of power. Do I have the right logic here?

I'm still considering it, but have some reservations about AP from a few threads I've read on the net

Any reason why to get the JL over the RE/US Amps? I like the price of the VLX but have only seen a few reviews around. Just curious because the lack of SFF has me trippin. I trust your opinion, but am just curious why it is better specifically. Like are the VLX's unreliable or is that just a really good deal on the JL? Thanks again to everyone for the input.

Does anyone have any opinions on the US Amps/RE VLX series? Specifically the VLX 1DE? I found one for $200 here and was wondering what you all thought of it. Are they reliable amps that will do rated power and not overheat?

Thanks for the information. I had considered dbr, but the shipping would be around 30 dollars which would bring that amp to 290 which is too far over budget

I forgot to mention that I have decided to pass on the PDX. The owner told me that he sent it into protect a decent amount of times and that made me feel uncomfortable about buying it

Hello

Thank you I had not thought of that. Do you or anyone on here know if that is a good buy for that particular amp? I'm concerned about the fixed SSF is this something that is cause for concern? If I tune more than 3hz above 30hz wouldn't I risk over excursion?

X3 on the release date that would be a perfect amp for my system

Thanks for the advice guys. I've actually found a jl XD600/1 amp on craigslist and the guy agreed to sell it for $150. It doesn't have a variable SSF though only a fixed one @ 30hz. I was going to be building a ported box so I was a little concerned with that. Here's the link to that amp JL XD600/1 let me know what you guys think. I also saw a link for a alpine PDX 600 for $200, but the guy hasn't responded yet. I've read a little about that PDX and it seems like it is a solid quality amp and I like that it is stable at 1-4 ohms. Any info or opinions are greatly appreciated here guys. Thanks

Jacob, any idea when the SAE-500 will go up for sale?

Thank you I'm really looking forward to learning as much as I can here
