No love for ID? Ohh well, can't go wrong with Hybrid - GOOD CHOICE!!!!! Kelvin

Why no ID horns? Kelvin

I just love the way you phrase that... Telling a lot but not telling much to the owner of this thread I have DLS amps (Ultimate A2 and A4) - sound is solid, bass is punchy, highs are up there... Couldn't be happier. Noise floor is pretty low, A2 hooked up to some ID horns (107dB efficient) = no noise @ all. Cannot comment on the Sundown, but some competitors are having great results with Sundown @ SQ comps. Cannot go wrong with either brand, Just get the one that gives you what you need: xover, setting wise. Hope that helps, Kelvin PS: pretty sure both can be had for about the same price... PS2: RA10 is an A/B class while the Sundown is D. Just a thought

Thanks...

What about enclosure requirements? Plz Kelvin

Guess I need to save a bit then lol. Thanks for the infos

If he wants to stay with the mythology theme... then I would suggest: SCYLLA: (6 arms, 6 heads, well you get it - for the multichannel obviously) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scylla MEDUSA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medusa For the 2 channels: HERACLES: (and give the name "HYDRA" to the 6 channels ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heracles BASILISK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basilisk Just my .02 cents Kelvin

Can you share a few things?

Would be interested but only for IB (in home audio of course) Kelvin

I have two questions... Maybe Mr Mantz can chime in... Is the 2 channel a dual mono? Might be interesting to see a Full Range Class D dual mono I am looking for a subwoofer amp but I can't seem to find it... Have heard/tried quite a few class D and they ALL have the same problem: They seem to be lacking power in the real deeeeeeep bass range (some amps even had regulated power supply which delivers the same RMS with a low or high voltage). I am pretty set to use a DLS A6... unless Kelvin

I think someone is selling some E8s on DIYmobileaudio... Kelvin

Thanks for the tip... Might try to find who are the more trustworthy when giving information out to the wild.

You're right...... Sean (is that your name? ) However I just wanted to show him that it might not be a bad idea to buy a 3way comp and move to Semi active (or full active) whenever he feels he can tackle it. At first I was using the full passive mode with a US Amps Hybrid Tube... Then went with the Milbert (still in full passive). Only a year ago was I able to design a satisfying system. Tuning happened only 2 weeks ago. Learned so much in the last couple of weeks on DIYmobileaudio forum. Kelvin

I'm sure not everybody bought is directly from TermLab...

Well if I can try to suggest something - try to choose a set of 4" component system such as: http://www.woofersetc.com/p7045/SLC-21025-...nent-System.htm http://www.woofersetc.com/p1129/M641--Diam...w--Tweeters.htm http://www.woofersetc.com/p6971/PVI210---M...kers-System.htm Out of those, I really liked the MB Quart when I heard it... And add a set of midbass: http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_i...roducts_id=8234 price is for a single unit: $91.20 for the pair Hope that helps, Kelvin

3way passive is not a really good idea... However I managed to use my Focal K3P to their full potential. You need a good processor with at least "Time Alignment, the ability to lower the gain on each channel, and EQ (parametric being better IMO) Next is a IASCA test CD or the EMMA one (I'm using the EMMA) The only tracks I've played with are: My voice is in phase/out of phase (phase relationship between pair of speakers (switching polarity) 3 drums Left Center Right (gain levelling) 7 drums across the dash (time alignment) My voice should appear to come from a single point... far left, center, far right (tonality and phase relationship between tweets, midrange and midbass) Play with mids first, then tweets and last midbasses... Here's what I've got: Left tweet out of phase - minus 5dB (on crossover) Right tweet in phase (having -5dB on Xover Left and -4dB on Processor Right, difference is -1dB between tweets) Left mid out of phase - 1.0ms (on processor) Right mid in phase - minus 4dB Left midbass in phase - 1.3ms (on processor) Right midbss in phase - minus 4dB I'm using a passive crossover between tweets and midrange - active for the midbass and sub Lastly, I've checked my RTA to make small adjustments on the processor (NO BOOSTING) Am way more satisfied of what it used to be. Have learned a lot in the past few weeks. Image is not dead center since I do not have a separate EQ for L/R However I have more depth, music is playing slightly beyond the windshield. Not much width but I can live without it... for now... Hope that helps, Kelvin

Just wondering if there was place where you can download that "Term Lab" program for free? If any plz send me a PM Thank you guyz, Kelvin PS: sorry for the thread jack...

I would choose one of those if I had 3 RL-i8s for a 2.66 load http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...;Product_ID=378 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=6667 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=6990 However if you can up the budget, I would go with a SAZ 3000D which can be found for $600 or so used. Hope that helps, Kelvin

1975 Mercedes 280SLC Coupe - 4497 lb (total weight) - Disk brake (no ABS) 137.5 mph (DAMN!!! I WAS YOUNG) --> same as my SPL score in my SQ system

Since the new 3500D is more efficient. Does it draw the same current as the 3000D while having more power?

There you go http://www.dynamicautoacoustics.com/forum/...7;topicseen#new Kelvin

Hi guyz, Thought I would share this. BRAX from Germany, HELIX Big brother company has/will release.d a new amp. If I understand correctly, it will be a power amp: No Crossover. A german magazine has tested one; specs as follow: MATRIX X4 @13,8V: 4x292rms @4ohm (drawing 136A) 4x270rms @2ohm (143A) 4x284rms @1ohm (186A) Damping factor: 694 @100hz 592 @30hz Size: 330mm x 75mm x 330mm Which is around 13" x 2.95" x 13" (tiny isn't it?) Price: Well it's a BRAX...

Would recommend you read infos on AVguide.com so you know what you need, and what to choose in case you upgrade some comps l8er on. Hope that helps, Kelvin

Would look into either KEF iQ7, Focal Chorus 726V or AV123 X-Static
