man..... that is just flat out sick nasty.

im desperately trying to find an amp for my 15" BTL dual 2. Its got the 3rd mag, himax coil, and cooling. its in a nice box, look at my sig for the specs on it. I also have an upgraded electrical system including a 160 amp HO alt, kinetic 2400 & kinetic 1400, big 3, and all my wiring is 0 AWG. I also have a voltage stabilizer connected to my electrical system. has any one ever had any experiences or comments on the Sound Stream PCA3500D PICASSO? Is it a good amp, it says its rated at 3500 RMS at 1 ohm. What do you think ill actually be getting with my upgraded electrical system. thanks -wes

you can NEVER go wrong with Knukonceptz =] its the best for the money hands down, not even to mention my personal favorite on quality

it looks really nice, they would look even better with a white sundown logo or something on the already sexy carbon fiber dust cap =]

i was told that they were suppose to be machining and shipping the heli-cooling in place of the axial-cooling for the BTLs but i havent seen anything on the site or the forums. any one know? thanks

sweeeet

im not too sure.... scott just told me they would be shipping by monday (10/29). they are suppose to be more efficient and cool the subs and coils down even more. he said no extra cost either, its just suppose to be simply in place of it

he made a funny too =]

lol, yeah i know but they were actually the nicest 6x9 boxes i could find, they're built well and like the black carpet with the embroidery. im sure they will hold up and sound better then those other 5 minute glue-together boxes that some chinese guy is selling on ebay for 10 bucks

my monoblock for my btl my 4 channel for my frontstage my ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL orion HCCA millenium edition 2 ohm 6.5" midwoofers. i spent a small fortune on these, the gonzos, and the crossovers; but very much worth it. my robot underground gonzo 2" aluminum tweeters my a/d/s A6is cross over networks (with 2 ohm lowpass mod) my RE-69FR 6x9 speakers in some nice boxes Still waiting on my sub box as well but every one please go check out Josh Salrin at www.finecustomworks.com, he makes the nicest and highest quality boxes you could imagine, shoot him an email and he will hook you up with any box you want, you choose every last detail and customization possible to do. and his computer program will tell you the all of the tuning details and F's and Q's and all that lovely junk before he even puts it together.

haha, he made a funny =]

the one at 4 ohm puts less strain on your electrical system. and if you configure your wire for a 2 ohm load and use the amp that puts out 1000 @ 4 ohm, you'll actually be getting more then 1000 watts (taken its not under rated and the amp is 2 ohm stable) because there is less resistance. the one that puts out 1000 at 2 ohm probally puts somewhere around 700 watts at 4 ohm.

sorry it cant be that simple but theres going to be ALOT more that factors into that then just speaker size and quantity. its all about brand and model, how much power, what type of enclosure will it be in. you'd have to get alot more specific

yeah, doesnt nick or one of the Fi tech guys goto radford or something like that?

i live in lynchburg, about an hour away from roanoke or charlottesville. a little bit more then a hour and a half from richmond. where are you from?I'm from Northern VA, but go to school at Radford. sweeeet, maybe you know my sister whos a sophomore there. haha

i live in lynchburg, about an hour away from roanoke or charlottesville. a little bit more then a hour and a half from richmond. where are you from? i really think its too late though to go active, because my 4 channel would be WAYYYY TOO MUCH just to power the front 6.5's and then the tweeters.

yeah, what would you recommend i do then? since i had no plan for the HU amp, could i bridge the 4 channels into two channels and then use the 4 channel amp to run the tweeters and the speakers active? or im not too educated on anything besides subs. so can someone please just give me some advice? thanks -wes

it never cease to amaze me how many things i hear like this about Fi.

and i have heard the gonzos before and i think they sound amazing. i guess its just all personal preference

allrighty kids, added pics of the RE's too. very nice and cleanly built drivers. have a good weight to them as well.

the only problem is i have 6 drivers and a four channel amp but it is something i will look into in the near feature. and also, when i got home from work my RE's were sitting on the door step. ill put up some pics in a few mins

haha, that is so funny... but so true.

robot underground gonzos. i have a set myself and they are so nice and sound so clear even when cranking it but never getting harsh or distorted. http://cgi.ebay.com/Robot-Underground-GONZ...1QQcmdZViewItem those are the aluminum ones, but they have silk ones as well if your really want straight up SQ.

if your amps are going into protect mode whether it be faulty wiring or over heating, then you can most likely expect that something bad is going to happen if you run 1 amp per coil. your best bet, would be to pay a few bucks and save your self the damage you will do to your equipment and take it to a local professional who can better diagnose the problem

i wonder how many people have already busted a nut looking at this thread... if so please say I
