I have several of the MS line and I would take either as well. The ZX amps were solid.

amp related question
helotaxi replied to drwang84's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
It will do nothing that you will hear. Nothing that you will notice and little that you can measure. Don't bother. I know it was free. If you feel you need to "put it to good use" they make nice doorstops. -
problem with Orion XTR pro 2400
helotaxi replied to johnnylemoine's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
Orion won't touch the older amps. -
Nothing I could discuss outside a SCIF. anytime. I got a secure line. Sadly I just moved to the training unit here and we don't

What I can say is that if you want a good read involving all the stuff leading up to the Iraq invasion, The Secret History of the Iraq War by Josef Bodansky will fill the bill.

Suck to hear that, man. Hopefully they'll be quick with it and actually fix it this time.

^^^That's a succinct way of saying what I think. I've spent nearly every day the last 2 years fighting both of those conflicts and I see some of the stupid chit that gets done attempting to fight a kinder gentler war against an enemy that only respects and understands the ruthless application of power and violence. We are more than capable of giving them that in spades and until we do, they won't stop. The negative press and war protests only give them more strength and resolve. They know that they can't beat us, but Vietnam and Somalia showed all the dirtbag 3rd world assholes that they don't have to beat us simply make sure the whole thing gets bad press and the morons here will see to it that we quit and leave. Setting a timetable is even worse than just picking up and leaving unannounced. If we make it known that we are leaving on X date, that gives the enemy an exact goal. They know that they can go all out killing our troops until that date and don't have to worry about being able to sustain their operations longer than that. There was a very good case for the Iraqi invasion. Any serious research will lay the case out there along with the sources of the information. We know where the "missing" WMD went, right back where it came from. Think of it as "repossessed" by the country that supplied the newer stuff to preserve their standing on the world stage. The French and Germans were against the invasion and were for lifting the sanctions because of oil. They knew, rightly, that if we invaded, and deposed Saddam the under the table deals they had with him would be voided and they would lose access to the oil resources that they accused us of trying to sieze. The UN has been nothing more than a joke the entire time, as well. What's the point of passing resolutions if you don't set any consequences for failure to comply? What's the point of laying out consequences if you fail to follow through with them? There's a lot more of this that I can't go into but there's some stuff to think about.

Nope. Just a different way of building a box. You might get a bit of a loading effect depending on the angle but it won't be anything like isobaric.

The PG is a much better amp than that Rockford. Really nice series of amps.
-
The process is no different than any other ported box...

question about a certain ohm load
helotaxi replied to pimpedout97x's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
That should be more than enough. -
So you're basically suggesting that I upgrade from coaxial to separates, right? Yeah, pretty much.

helotaxi replied to pimpedout97x's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
With that amp, since there is no logical progession in power, the only way to find out would be on the test bench. Not worth the trouble. Knowing exact power is pointless anyway. -
In a .6 cf enclosure (each) tuned to about 38 hz mine were quite happy with 400+ watts apiece. Sounded excellent. Suprisingly good bottom end as well considering the high Fs and tuning.

Stinger Bullet series. If it ain't broke don't fix it when it comes to cables.
-
You don't want me to get into why.

You are in serious need of a 12 step program.

You dirty, dirty girl!

Amps down the side behind plexi so they are shown when the rear doors are open? Another thought...use the lead for the dome light on a relay to light up said amps when the doors are open. I wish I had that kind of room to work with...jealous, really I am.

SPL builds are ever done?!? Yep that describes me well.

That doesn't mean tha tyou can't put tweets in the sail panel, jsut that they should be the only tweets. Mine are in the A-pillar right now. Stage is nice and high. About 3" above the dash.

Possible RCA problem?
helotaxi replied to UNIT 6639's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
If you have a DMM set it to AC volts and measure the voltage between the pin and the barrel. Use a test tone for a consistent reading. If you are getting voltage there, the problem is with the amp, not the RCAs. It probably wouldn't be an issue withe RCAs themselves but with the outputs of the HU. If you are not getting voltage, the HU is the next thing I would check. -
Need some input about some amps
helotaxi replied to Mino's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
That question could be asked of about 99% of our gear now couldn't it?
