Just saying you gotta learn not to let the interwebs bother you. Sorry sometimes the members of the elite SSA audio forums club deem people unworthy because they don't sound believable enough or what they say doesn't sound intelligent enough. Its all gravy, move on. Wasting time on people that don't care about you is pointless, find some friends that are into the same thing you are. Clearly the only way to learn around here is to get a punch to the face first.

Lol don't worry bout it kid, some people take themselves WAY too seriously. Bottom line is keep doing what you are doing and keep learning, these guys are way older than you and are just pretending they aren't jealous of the technology you have at your age. Just cause you are honest about not knowing everything about everything is an automatic invitation for haters to hate. Just brush them off, not worth your time (trust me).

Leave the bass boost alone is the consensus in this forum. It introduces unnecessary peaks into the signal which in turn clip the signal at high volumes: aka blow your shit up when you turn it up. Set the gain with a DMM or by ear if you know how and you're good to go. If you really insist on tweaking the bass boost just make sure you aren't stressing your drivers too much. And there isn't a relationship between the gain and the bass boost so don't go looking for one

I bought a Pioneer P4100DVD and I can play movies just fine and everything but I wanna take it to the next step and start burning DVDs with music videos. I can't for the life of me find any documentation on how to format the videos besides being in .avi format. I talked to Pioneer and they weren't any help. Anybody got one of these?

I'm planning on powering a sundown 2000d off a regular battery up front and a D3100 in back. Don't think my puny little 90Amp stock alt will survive for long with that load so... Let me rephrase lol "makes one" for less than like 600$? I emailed a representative at MechMan and they wanted me to ship out my current alt so they could clone the casing and make me a custom 200 amp one for 599$ because its a one off project?! Any reasonable prices on these things?

My 2 cents: I had a 2002 Passat and I'm telling you right now that my Alpine MRP-M1000 (1000 watts @ 2 ohms) was killing the voltage in that car. I had 1/0 gauge wire from the front and only battery all the way to the amp and I was seeing voltages of 11.7 after a good night. I guarantee you that you will want an upgraded alt, in fact I have one sitting under my bed right now, never installed. Its 200 amps made by Excessive Amperage, PM me if you are interested. The good news is your car has a perfectly box-shaped trunk and you can fit a pretty big box in there. For competitions, I'd suggest running a single monster woofer but I'm not really into comps take that with a grain of salt. Good luck.

It would be a very nice gesture to resurrect the program

Didn't know my bad. Soon I'll be amping speakers as opposed to running off a head unit for the first time lol.

Those are niiiice. Definitely getting a pair but im a little confused they do both midrange and midbass no problems? Huh?

Just out of curiosity how long is this deal going on? I'm interested but unfortunately won't have my RSX until end of August so I'm afraid of giving you max dimensions as I don't have the car yet. I'll be tearing the back seat out and getting 2 15" XCONs.

Anything for the 2000D? Preferably at .5 ohms?

Awesome news

damn I put my order in in April 16th and I didn't get one. Must be a lot of early birds on this presale.

According to Jacob they should have started shipping them Friday and will continue shipping them through Tuesday in the order in which they were preordered (first come first serve).

I would bet you a paycheck that it was a sub from any one of the manufacturers on this forum, start with Fi for subs though they seem to be getting the most hype. Sundown is sick nasty for amplifiers too.

good luck man, my 11 person company had to let someone go today as well.

ask shizzon, he had a bunch of sine waves at all different frequencies.

right, the pressure distorts the sound waves...what are you flying an F16? this isn't a sonic boom buddy and yea no chit, spl subs are just that: spl subs, they aren't made to sound good, just get super loud, now stop jacking the thread. btw, i didn't mention anything about the cost of the shocker sigs, i just assumed you are one of those punks with an attitude problem: so far you're proving me right. If you think you're cool with your 400 lbs of subwoofers coming to your house thats fine, make a build log then talk your tough talk then maybe i'll pretend to give a chit, please get back on topic. do i sense the banhammer coming? anyways can you clarify on the dustcap options and/or provide pics of said options?

sundown 1000d?

yea we can watch this screw you SPL subs that you probably paid way too much money for, the Xcons will sound better see? easy Anywho, wait you guys aren't offering the carbon fiber dustcap anymore or? And yea can you get some pics up?

just out of curiosity how would the Xcon measure up to the XXX? I just found them very similar in stated goals.

I think I'll give SSA a chance with the Xcon, it sounds like a very promising driver for someone who is not only in search of output but also SQ.

damn I'm almost in the same boat except I have room for 2. I really cannot decide between the BL and the Xcon, they both seem so good!

Simply: because it will be louder, because my electrical will be able to handle it and above all because Jacob basically said its ok lol. As far as I recall I'm not losing any sound quality or anything just by using a different impedence...these things come in dual 1 and dual 2 ohm configs anyway right?

Well I'll be running 2 15s either way this summer off a Sundown 2000D at .5 ohms so I was wondering if I'd be missing out on something if I got the Xcons over the BLs I was planning on(or vice versa). ~6-8 cubes @ 32hz which one would hit louder and is there an advantage to the other?
