I rebuilt enclosure twice using only RF 18s and although originally designed for Lanzar subs the box worked beautifully and was most impressive. It is my motivating and driving factor to hear 4 18 Fi SSDs w/ 3-4 times the power of my old system. Not sure why it's not

Shizzzon as always if anyone would llike to chime in feel free. Shizzzon has been such a big help to me I wanted to ask him in particular about something I know I have faith in him for. My Port Love everyones ideas though so again chime away! 4 Shizzzzle I've been trying to send you a message w/ my phone #s and invite to for you and whomever to stay at mine and Kelly's home. For some reason I'm not able to send. In the attempted PM i got carried away w/ the following so I'm just making it a topic so I don't lose it. (computer has been acting up maybe on last leg) This would be the help I need from you for my "big boy" system! My previous favorite enclosure was originally designed for 4 Lanzar 18s (1992) 250 RMS EACH RAN OFF OF AN ORION BEAST 2250SX -perfect match I know the box dimensions and would like to recreate it for use with 4 FI SSD 18s off of my Sundown SAZ-3000D I realize the port may be a little different but I would like it as close as possible to the original. When I had blown 2 of the Lanzar 18s I replaced with RF punch 18s also 250 rms each. I rebuilt enclosure twice using only RF 18s and although originally designed for Lanzar subs the box worked beautifully and was most impressive. It is my motivating and driving factor to hear 4 18 Fi SSDs w/ 3-4 times the power of my old system. I once was sponsored by MTX in their original MTXpert program (1991) and I had a loaded horn enclosure with 34 10s (Blue Thunder) and although very clean and louder than my old 418s it wasn't nearly as impressive. Cmon it was 3410s it should be loud. SO I'm going to give you the sacred dimensions (to me) of my old enclosure and if you can help me tweek it (come up with port) and any other suggestions I will definitely listen. Max externally W 40", H 34", D 44", 2 rear chambers firing into single center chamber which is ported into cab of Chevy S10 (w/ topper walk through) between bucket seats. Both rear chambers were equal to each other and the center chamber was equal to both rear chambers combined. so as a guess both rear chambers 6cf each center 12cf. How does all this sound to you? Think it will work effectively tuned to (guessing) 32hz (read all before doing math~~~~~~~~I know you!) PORT was 16" W, 24" H, 6" D 4th order single reflex bandpass enclosure 3 chambers all subs mounted vertically and facing at each other but offset so they are not directly at each other. I'm sure your familiar w Steve Meade's Chicken's Caddy enclosure w 4BTL18s off two RF15Ks. For a better visual for you my box looks nearly identical to that Chicken's enclosure except no rear chambered ports(only center chamber firing between front seats) and the 2 woofers behind driver would be 1st woofer behind driver low 2nd high. Behind passenger 1st woofer mounted high 2nd high(again so offset) Hopefully everything is clear - let me know if you understand completely what I'm trying to say as I understand how it can get messy in explaining through words. (Even worse if you saw my drawings) hehe Reason I said to read all. If I were to try this enclosure in my Blazer It would have to be much different since this size box can't slide in through the rear an I do not know how to build enclosure inside of vehicle. Maybe I could make longer but I had already planned on selling my Blazer to get an S10 w/ walktrough again. Tell me what you think as your opinion interests me very much. Again thanks in advance ~Joe

can you spell computer problems?

The BTL is moving but I'm running a 100 amp fuse and it's not popping. Suggested fuse is 300 if I remember right so I figure I might be getting less than 3K. Also the BTL is dual 2ohm? and w/ meter measured 1.5ohms per coil. When hooked up in series (as I was telling my friend "we should get 3 ohms") the meter read 2 ohms.??????????? Maybe another topic but why wouldn't it be 3 ohms? Anyhow Sndwn 3000 @ 2ohms = how many watts. I know that this baby has more and I'm definately pumped on how it looks, sounds, and performs so far. Thanks Jacob by the way. I Love you man in a non gay sorta-way

redirecting accidentally posted same topic twice

Your welcomed to stay here if you like on your way down. Kelly and I would be happy to have you! Joe Check your messages

What is the lowest safe operating voltage of the Sndwn3000 Just doing a little testing today and I want to keep an eye on the voltage I know but I've seen reports of putting out their rated rms watts at only 10.5 volts!? I'll be running 2 batts yellow and red top 2/0 guage wire but only stock alternator. Just want to be safe Thanks in advance!!!

Looks like I'm not done picking your brain yet!

Excellent I'll definately be picking one of these up!

Shizzzon The box came out absolutely perfect. I'm very impressed and know for the little bit of space we had to work with that I have as agood a box possible for this install. Everyone is amazed by the output of the BTL and that thing MOVES!!! Good thing Shawn F broke it in for me hehe! I will add pics tonight Thanks again for your assistance in this build YOU definately made it happen also it's nice to have a new friend Even if you are from Kentucky haha Later Joe FL

Great Basketball there! and Elvis Presly BLVD?

My condolences to you and your family Nick

Isn't that the only 2 places there..........................?....................hehe

We got hit...again with a lot of snow so it has...again for the 3rd time held me up on sound deadening. Where are you ????????? I'm guessing not here in FLA hehe

[ If you ever dip below 11.8, for example, i'd either upgrade your electrical or if you dont want to, install a Smart block in your car so that if it does drop below 12v, the block will instantly shut off power going to amps until voltage rises above 12v. If voltage dips below 12v only because of certain hard hitting bass notes then the block will make the song sound like it's skipping if it is doing it constantly. I use these blocks for all installs including class a\b amps just to be safe regardless of how strong my electrical is. Something can go wrong while driving and not know it. Doesn't matter if you got 30 300a alts and 1,000 group 8d batts for a 500w stereo system. If they all failed.... so will your amps if they arent turned off in time. Any suggestions on where to purchase a Smart Block again excellent idea and analogy

Well each VC is reading 1.5ohms so I'll run it 3ohm Not tryin to get crazy just yet - really just looking to test this BTL in tight spaces. I have a Lincoln Town Car that I want to shove as much as possible in 2-3 15s or 18s BTLs or AA Havocs All kinds of options. I know how the SSDs sound and they are damn smooth. Very impressed w/ those subs I know it's a wierd question (LOW VOLTAGE) but again since I had seen that Sundown can put out their rated power @ 10.5 volts I figured what the heck maybe someone will know. Not trying to get it guaranteed or anything just trying to be safe.

I love my analogies, Startin to LOVE em too
