    wow, what would life be like without the ihop to make me laugh so damn hard.

    Tc-7 box

    Those subs will get loud enough, but my suggestion would be to go with the tc9's if you want a solid ported driver, or tc1k's which work very well in most boxes. There is of course the tc 10" oem which I have and love. And that sub would love 1 cu. foot per chamber and get loud for you.

    Here are a few table saws that I am looking at. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=prod...&lpage=none http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores...ocStoreNum=8125 http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/product.do?...L&ihtoken=1

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Ouch godsmack, I am 6' nothing 298 lbs and 17% body fat. Damn beer belly without any alcohol. I have solid legs and a pretty decent upper body, but damn being injured makes working out impossible. 3 weeks without lifting anything so far. I can't even run. Walking is just boring... Can't wait to have my back back so I can knock off more fat. I haven't lost 8 lbs in 6 months but 4 pants sizes and 4 % off of my body fat. I think I am gonna buy a table saw tomorrow I really need one, anyone have any suggestions for the 200$ price range (give or take a bit.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Or my personal favorite, using 2 sets of 2 channel rca's for a four channel amp and forgetting to make sure the wires stay next to each other. Fun whine can be found there as well.

    sundowns 1500 vs kicker 1500

    From a logistics standpoint its not a fair test. You are comparing roughly a thousand dollars of amplifiers to a 1600+ dollar amplifier. The z1 was built by DD to be a massive low voltage, highly efficient amplifier. It is an underrated 3kw amplifier which had been benched to do well over 4kw. Would the Sundown's hold their own against a DD z1, yes. Would they produce more power, depending on the voltage and impedance level. The Sundown saz-1500d's should produce roughly the same power as the DD z1. Why as a street A competitor would you choose sundown over DD, = Better customer service = Rock solid amps that love low impedances = Virtually indestructible product = Repairs won't take 6 months to a year. The point is DD amps while able to produce quite a bit of power are just not reliable. From a consumer standpoint, if I were to buy a 1600 dollar amplifier and had to wait 6 months for a repair. I would be pissed. DD amps are very finicky about voltage and impedance. And all though the z1 was "designed for factory charging systems" there is no possible way to run a z1 off of a factory charging system without dropping in voltage and the amp saying good bye. I used to be a DD fanatic. Guess where my first DD amp is, sitting in my room as a paper weight after fighting with DD and still not recieving and RA number almost a year later at this point. My Sundown amp has seen 10.9 volts and has seen nearly 20 volts and it is still there. I have had issues with my sundown product (soft start noise) that Jacob was returning my emails about at 7 am on Sunday morning. So the choice is yours, do you want to spend money on an established company with countless problems or would you rather spend your money on a rock solid product that is underrated, and backed by an industry leading warranty.
  8. And how are you spending 1200 on 4? unless of course you are going with 2400's, and why again do you need four of them for 3-4kw of amplifier juice? I have run .5 ohm loads and ~2000 watts on my stock battery with a stock alt and don't ever see much voltage drop beyond 12.25 volts. I am just curious, as a fellow spl guy why you need 4 kinetiks? automatically putting you in super street for dB drag, when you realistically only need 2 batts with the upgraded alt and can spend your money else where, such as amplifiers. Another amp I would suggest buying is an American Bass 500.1 and there just so happens to be one for sale in the SSA for sale section.

  10. A pair of Sundown 1500D's with a .5 ohm load on each or 1 ohm bridged would do fine and come in under your budget. +1, and what batteries are you buying that will set you back 1200 dollars?

    Ranking of Audio Mediums?

    I would say the best realistic medium is vinyl followed by super audio cd. This is my opinion, but isn't dvd audio just a higher sampling rate than cd, but not as high as a SACD? And the issue with digital storage would be if the file is uncompressed or compressed and what compression method was utilized.

    sundowns 1500 vs kicker 1500

    z1's just have too many problems and are very picky when it comes to lower impedances.

    sundowns 1500 vs kicker 1500

    no brainer sundown is $749canadian. I dunno, is there anybody who has just tested the z1 and the 1500 strapped without actually owning them? because the results may be a little biased The sundown saz-1500d's msrp is 749 canadian. You have to contact your retailer for a quote for the price he is actually selling, it is substantially lower than 749 canadian or 600 american dollars/

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I so hope no one in a hatch is at the show in street A this upcoming sunday. It will be a sad day for me.
  15. There is an 1x dB drag race/ bass race on June 17th @ 288 Elm St. Westfield Mass 01085 Just wondering if anyone else is planning on attending.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Still injured, sent home from work early. Ordered my aero-ports, still have to do some measurements for my wall build, possibly running several more runs or 4 ga. down the car. Hopped up on narcs, (valium/ hydrocodone), mixed with flexxoral. Good times. Finalized my standard cab silverado box design. Payed car insurance, and all of this before six am. Almost time for some sleep.

    12 vs 17.9 volt's :wtf:

    Me too. I think I am gonna hold out on buying my second saz-1500d and just get a 3000d, and use my 1500d for something else.

    SAZ-3000D

    I know that I can get them for ~1300 bnib from an authorized dealer, I think tej was paying ~800 for each, but even still. He can now wire each woofer to .5 ohms and get the same amount of power with the better warranty, customer service, and the extended replacement plan.

    I have yet to post any updated pics of the box. But i will with the wall build. I am also working on the outside port corner, and have an idea for increasing port velocity and reducing port turbulence all at once.

    sundowns 1500 vs kicker 1500

    I vote sundown. Have owned and destroyed kicker products, getting a replacement or getting your warranty honored is a pain in the ass with kicker, as everything I send back to them was "abused"

    sundowns 1500 vs kicker 1500

    I am gonna have to say that the 3424 watts was two Saz-1500d's strapped @ 1 ohm, and at something like 12.8 volts.

    SAZ-3000D

    Those Memphis amps are pretty good, albeit a little power hungry and not low impedance happy at all. The good news about going with the Saz-3000d's is that you could strap a pair per pair of woofers for comps and gain ~15-20% of power for a burp. Quite a good deal, b/c the saz- series love low impedances and are damn near indestructible. Not to mention that their are quite a few comps in the south-east area, definitely more than there are around me in Albany NY. For daily it won't be much of a difference, but the warranty and customer service are definite sundown pluses.

    I guess resin could work for sq, albeit a little overkill. Resin and duct-tape are a few of those extra tenths of a db that I am always searching for. Walling should net me a little too, and than time to add a real battery and a second saz-1500d to the mix and go all out for upper 40's in a trunk car.

    Good job man, and it is hella better to be in a beat up crx, than a non-beat up dodge neon at an spl show.
