yea id rather not have an isolator. i think itd just be more simple without it.

ive looked and looked and looked some more but i cant find the diagram for adding a second battery. someone posted it on here before but i cant find it now. could someone give me the link for it please?

sweet thats even better thanks

i will man. thanks for your help with everything.

lol i dont have money now. im just slowly building. im selling my sub now and getting a IA DR 18.

oooo nice lol. i figured theyd be way more then that. so your selling yours for 30?

yea before i set my gain with my dmm i had the bass on 5/7 and i couldnt hear the words so great with the sub. after i set my gain i put my bass to 0 and its soooo much better. since there was a lot of bass going through the speakers it was causing distortion. you wouldnt hear distortion because the sub can take a lot more. it was just causing your amp to clip and you cant hear that. also you say that thats where you max out anyways. since you already set the gain with your settings where you want them dont change mess with them at all now. you put your settings where you want them then set the gain.

yea i figured itd cause problems with two different batteries and no isolator. how much is an isolator?

its fine he just has to set everything before he sets the gain and doesnt change it after. if he changes it afterwards it can cause the amp to clip.

lol i probably wont get an isolator. ill take my chances. i got a yellow top in front and the big three so im not to worried bout it haha. ive seen some people use two different batteries and some people says its bad and some say its alright. so if i have a yellow top and i get a xs or kinetic would it be alright? also in the diagram is there 2 batts in the back and one in the front?

thanks man do you absolutely need an isolator? if i dont get one would it mess anything up?

well the 1500d is underrated so even though its rated at 400 watts it puts out more. jacob from sundown did testing on it and it put out 518 watts at 4 ohms. and your phase you dont have to worry about. just turn it all the way down. edit- sorry i didnt explain what phase was. it allows your speakers and subs to all move in and out at the same time. if you hear an echo in your car or dont like how it sounds you can play with the phase but i just leave mine at 0 because it sounds fine.

if your wiring the 1500d to 4 ohms you need it to be at 40 volts. its rated 400 watts at 4 ohms. 400*4=1600 1600 squared is 40.

welcome to the forum.

get a dual 2 ohm sub that way you can wire it down to a 1 ohm load.

dual 1 and dual 2 depends on what amp you get. universal lets you change it from dual 2 to dual 1 later on if you want to and vice versa.

welcome post some pics of the build. we always want pics lol

when the box is larger power handling goes down.

it most likely is something with the wires. when the amp moves its makin the wires move causing the amp to shut off.

i have mine playin off 1500. i wouldnt go much more then that. especially not 2500.

i like how you guys dont push someone to buy your products over someone else's. a lot of people would. we need more people in the world like you guys at ssa

like you said the subs still need to break in. just give it a little more time and itll start gettin louder.

we wana see pics chop. i wana see what this port looks like.

ludeman doesnt have the 3000d runnin all 3000 watts. he has it at 1300. he gained down. the death row wont take that much.

It is not serious, but it is our dogs between the two of us. And since there are 3 speakers and 3 dogs, just funny. Ferdinand is a Mini-Schnauzer Maxie is a Euraiser Bailey is a Beagle I think. I didnt think it was that serious but it sounded interesting when you said they had mascots, just a curious individual and that caught my attention so I thought I would ask. that just goes to show how good ssa products are. they have mascots lol!
