    Few Questions

    The same as any other install - you could make it award-winning in SQ or a one-note wonder, or any compromise in between.

    difference between GEL and AGM technologies

    Which battery type were they selling? That one usually does the best And they're referring to boat trolling...in fishing. Electric trolling motors are a pretty heavy load, and the batteries used for such an application are usually large (over 100lbs) and have lots of amp-hours, great for a backup power situation at home or a huge reserve in a vehicle.

    difference between GEL and AGM technologies

    Either will be more than enough for what you're doing. Just concentrate on fitting the largest you can.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I have 1000. oops. I'm sure I'll test its limits. Be very careful. This Mag is not an ""SQL"" driver that'll take 2kW if you decide to get froggy with it...I managed to tap backplate with it, and if I could do that, that says something

    difference between GEL and AGM technologies

    They're both types of valve regulated lead acids, the difference lies in how the electrolyte is constructed. What exactly are you getting at with "car audio" purposes? Competition where you're chasing every last dB?

    Choosing Between Subs

    Well, their Status drivers are Scans, nothing wrong with those The Type X's were always overpriced compared to the OEM Vifa drivers...anything lower isn't worth a mention.

    Choosing Between Subs

    Are we talking F1 Status or otherwise?

    kinda dumb sub size question

    Let me guess, you listen to mostly rap/hip hop? They'll sound fine for that...

    Welcome to the IHoP

    It loves sealed enclosures, put about 500W on it and smile I liked that sub a lot.

    Choosing Between Subs

    You're asking for two polar opposites...which is it?
  11. Do you have an Ipod or something similar? Pull the LOC out, and try another source...

    Watts

    Power isn't everything. You also have to consider the efficiency of the sub, and the enclosure...having a lot of power doesn't guarantee you'll have lots of SPL, and having a low-powered amp isn't automatically inferior. If more people knew this, I doubt we'd see anywhere near the amount of "I need a recone" threads that we do.
  13. I wouldn't mind incorporating some of this stuff into cooling my music server, I don't care at all about making it faster but I would like to get rid of the annoying CPU fan noise. I can get quiet case fans but it's difficult finding a CPU cooler that will fit a non-standard Dell server socket.

    duty cycle

    I've pounded on an SAZ-1500d for over an hour in the texas heat (105 degrees)..didn't shut down. Unless you are going with RF's Type RF stuff, you'll find that Sundown is a much beefier product. The 1500d is pretty heavy. In fact, it weighed and little more than my US Amps USA-2000x. RF = radio frequency, not Rockford Fosgate

    Noob needs SQ suggestion from the pros

    I'll leave head unit integration to someone that knows that better. For tweeters/midbasses, start reading here: http://www.zaphaudio.com. You should be able to find a pair of tweets and midbasses under $200 new, potentially a lot less if you shop around for used ones. For amplifiers, I wouldn't bother with anything new. For your front stage, you'll be likely looking for a small 4-channel, and a small monoblock or 2-channel for the subwoofer. Subs are the least important item of the whole install. While garbage is garbage, don't spend a lot here. $150 maximum. Also, don't forget to budget for sound deadening. Two rolls would not be a bad start.

    Sundown: SAZ-1500D vs. SAE-1000D

    No, and just because you have that extra power, doesn't mean you need to use it If you can afford it, I'd probably go with the 1500D, little bit beefier, and would give you some options if you ever want to upgrade.

    Need some info on the Legatia Pro

    One of my favorite cars that I've heard uses Nobeliums...I don't think there's too much of a drawback for either when it comes to the tweets. When it comes to the midbass, I'd rather have the L6's or L8's I haven't heard the Leg. Pros yet, that could likely change my opinions towards the Hybrid. And I've heard enough JMLabs stuff to know what a bright tweeter sounds like

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Beer can Gatling gun...I imagine those larger Coors cans would fly pretty well, maybe more stable in flight
