CFAIST

Thanks big jon. I might have to snatch one up for that kind of money.

I'm 31 and run a small part time audio shop, Ford parts guy by day dealer builder and installer by night and weekend, and somehow I manage to take car of my wife and daughter at the same time.

I'll start looking for a date and location.

I'd be down for doing it in Ft. Dodge. Did my first comp there. I was thinking like early summer for a date, so people are out of school and we all have some time. I work full time so it would defineatly have to be a weekend thing. Toss around some dates and ask around to your fellow bassheads not on the forum.

Hi all, I'm in the market for a new amplifier, I'd like to see something that will do 2-2500 rms and prefer something that will run @ .5 ohm. I've ran American bass VFL's in the past and have had good luck with them. Does anyone have any suggestions otherwise? I'd like to keep it around the 4-500 dollar mark.

Bassaholic, Gotcha I've never used either AQ or DC. What is everyones thoughts on powerbass XTA 2250? I haven't heard anything but good on them. I can get the AQ DC or PB for about the same money

Thanks for all the input guys, I want to be able to run @ .5 ohm to help fight box rise and to stay flexible for multiple sub set ups. I've heard mixed reviews about the hifonics and the rubi but they defintely fit the bill. That saz-2500 would be great but it severly cuts into my sub budget. I used to have a U.S. MD3D and loved it but sold it like a dummy. Thinking baout doing a DC 2K as they are getting great reviews.

I used to compete in USACi alot And got to meet alot of cool people but It was all about the competition, Thats fun and all But The forum atmosphere is way cooler. That way people don't get discouraged if the have a pair of 10"s. It's all about audio to me. It's my favorite hobby and I have fun showing off my system and Helping people when I can.

Awesome it is a nice campus down there. I was thinking of trying to set up a meet for all of us in the region, Iowa Nebraska and Mn. I don't have a term lab anymore but it would be a fun time to meet eveybody and do demos. If Anyone is interested from the area let me know.

I don't attend the winter games but I fish up there from time to time. We should set up a northwest Iowa meet and demo session, I'm waiting on taxes to come back and my new build will start.

Welcome! I just joined a couple weeks ago an by far the best group of people to chat with.

Check out Welding cable, It's way cheaper and does the trick. Everyone Has very solid points, I've found the biggest help is Meter time and experimenting like said above. I've gained over 3 db in the past just from trying the above mentioned ideas. Take your time and have fun learning with it. Good Luck. I'm sure you will get there and then some.

Just checking in, My name is Clint and I run a small Audio shop in Holstein, Iowa. Always wanted to join the forums here. Can't wait to have a blast sharing and learning info. Thanks

The name sounds familiar but don't know them personally.

Hey Miller I'm bout 2 hrs from omaha, planning the new build now. I will post it in the builds section when I get started.

Welcome. Where are you at in Iowa?

Does anyone have any experience with these? Or the line. I used to run The old SPL's SPL160s and the Rubi 1002. Did very well with them. I know epsilon owns them now. Do they do rated, Efficient, Will they run at .67 or .5 Ohm? any and all help is appreciated. Price wise and Numbers they look good but after Carrying and running American Bass and Power bass Amplifiers it's kinda hard to deviate.

Welcome Man!

Nice TB man, I'll keep an eye out for ya next time Im in the area.

Awesome! I used to live in Estherville befor I got back into Car Audio. I competed lightly in USACi for a few years. I'd love to get a demo of your trailblazer. I just recently started carrying DC.

I thought that audiomobile got bought out by Elemental designs? Last time I tried going to there site it sent me straight to ED's website. I do remember the old ones getting great reviews though.

that should get you to some of the pics anyway. there has been alot since then that I haven't got pics of. There are other random ones in my mobile uploads if you care to look around. thanks for the welcome guys.

Ive got a few Pics of boxes I've built on my facebook page and a few vids of my old focus on youtube cfaist1 is my channel. I'll ce if I can post alink if you want to check em out.
