heyyyyy happy easter to those who care...or whatever your supposed to say..lol... dennis, nice to see your well, or at least getting there. tom, nice to see the imp is back! steve, i hit up your FS thread.... and i got a new big project at work. dunno how fancy yet, but i'll be taking pics!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sweet! i don't think you'll be disappointed at all!! and wow, mike made an appearance!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I think you have thoes backwards. Because if the Rl-p is in the running leauges with the SE as far as output, then my preception that it's runner up competition for the old brahmas and XXX's and Avalanches as far as output is off. SE is loud, dont get me wrong, thoes drivers are just louder. Also, SE's are very clean, compareable to my avalanche. which is XBL equipted so there for is must rule all nope. the rl-p is one clean ass sounding, get loud sumbitch! h2h with an old xxx, both ported and sealed, it sounded better then the xxx while running with it for output. overall, the xxx was the one with the potential to get louder due to the fact it will handle more power, but as far as sq goes, easily the rl-p. as my wife put it, " the rl-p shakes the car to death and still hits you in the chest. the other one (xxx) gets loud, and that's it. it doesn't shake the car at all." same amp, same box, same power. nah, the rl-p is just one of those "everything came together real nice" type of packages...lol.... don't forget to toss in mike, and you have the complete package. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

very, very nice!! personally, i like the wires showing, especially since they aren't just ordinary wires. very nice finish on that enclsoure and overall fitment!!! a very worthy install for your demo/daily car!! (and for awesome subs) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

not out of business. he does too many OEM things to go out. JL like? maybe, but i hope not. RE isn't too damn far behind either, especially with the new XXX. i miss the days of the old school solo's, the stamped steel baskets and 100 ounce motors were heavy...lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Pretty sure that when DC resistance was taken they wired the coils in series to get that rating which would mean DC resistance of the 2ohm coils are 1.2-1.3ohm but i could be wrong. Anyway, i'd like to know how efficent the SW8200's are if they do feature LMT because if it takes 3kw to make them happy like some other LMT drivers, i dont really see the point. why does everybody think it takes 3kw to make a LMS (not T anymore) happy? 1200 on the rl-s 12 moved it just fine... wired to the 4ohm or so load and it did damn near a 140 in that box, off that power, with a factory gm h/u. will they do better in the larger enclosure of more power? after watching a few vids, probably. but do they honestly need them? not in my opinion. besides, in smaller enclosures you can always throw more power at them anyway...lol...muhahahahah wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yep, i found that out the hard way as i did after i bought that ma audio from you and your brother..lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

looking good. what batts are you using? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

good morning and talk to ya later... peace! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nice! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sq easily to the rl-p.... spl, that'll be close. the se isn't a slouch. neither is the rl-p. i dunno..lol.. overall better choice? rl-p... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

here's mine, some installed, some not...lol.. memphis 10" hpo....twas a pair in there. figured those two were good enough for a few pics....12" gen 1 xxx and 12" d2 rl-p that's a single memphis pr 10 not mine, but since i had the pics.....proto SI mag15 my 18 is bigger then yours!!! solox x 18 go boom like so!!! my pride and joy, the first production rl-i 8 sold. also, a funky pup 8, dayton 7's and hifi textile dome tweeters. and the rl-i 8 doing it's thang!! that's all i could find at the moment...lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the guage cluster is a damn near match for an escalades, as far as look/color w lights off goes. not layout. we did a nice install on an 2004 goat, blue. he's got a ram air hood (fuctional), k&n cold air kit, custom exhaust and was waiting to buy the programmer at the time. i'm sure by now that's been resolved. it does indeed have a wicked exhaust note. when installing a system in a goat, due to the gas tank, instead of putting you sub in trunk, try just under the b pillar. there is a shit ton of room there once you remove the factory speaker. you can even keep it under the plastic and use mdf. we did. jim's goat has got a mc1300 (big belle) powering two pairs of memphis sq componets and a pair of mclass 8's in those quarters. you don't even know the 8's are there, until he turns it on...lol... nice car btw. sorry for the rant. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

if you loved the pg subs sealed, wait till you hear the rl-i's!! and tghe they will indeed get low. mike has a vid around here somewhere of an rl-i10 just getting nasty..lol. get the rl-i 10's, you won't go back!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

run the yellow top at the minimum, but try to get a blue top in there. the red isn't deep cycle. trust me, lol. while my red top is a great battery, when it comes to really pulling amps, it sucks. what truck? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

HBD u two! have a fun but safe one! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what year? i owned a 1975 cb750k4...first year of the 4 carbs IIRC. of course it got slightly modded and could spit the 1/8 in about 8-8.5 seconds @ 85mph. not hte quickest, but i was still tuning on it when i decided i didn't like the look anymore...lol...i could run with all the new rockets except the big boys (1000cc or bigger). it was neat. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

WHAT????? actually, i traded a rice cruiser in on the train. and the dealership sends them off to an affiliate dealership, they don't keep them on site. but at this stage, i'd roll a crotchrocket again just to be riding... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

we actually talked about that, but the dealership isn't set up for it. they are in the organizing phase of actually renting harleys, but unbtil them, i's assedout. hell, i'd take a sporty jsut to have something to ride. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm thinking of retiring my rl-i 8 and making it an office piece. but the sound is just so rich and pleasing, it'll be hard to do. but i have a pair of clarion 8's ready to fill in! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

in illinois, you have to double clutch to pass the CDL test, and they watch for it! and you have to double clutch whether upshifting or downshifting. you also have to downshift twice before each stop. double clutching in older trucks is real work, some newer ones, not too bad. but it's a crap ton easier to "slipshift" (matching revs and not using the clutch) then it is to DC. waterbox= spot to get the tires wet before a burnout at a dragstrip tree= the starting lights nomansland= the end of the dragstrip where it's all brakes and prayers. and if your prayers aren't answered... sandbox= where you go after nomansland trailered= where you go after losing at the strip puckertime= that moment before you know something bad or on the edge is about to happen whiteknuckle= gripping the steering wheel extremely tight, usually associated with puckertime holeshot= leaving the starting line first, usually by quite a bit hole= starting line wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

bass/catfish here. haven't been is about 2 summers though. nice being next to the ohio and mississippi rivers, big catfish out there. might brush up the rods and reels this year though...$13 to fish a few times a year though..lol...maybe i'm a bit to frugel. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sup? i have a freaking summer chest cold and it's driving me nutz!! it's been low 80's here the last week and i can't enjoy it. all i do is cough and hack up phlem (spl?). it's getting really old. to top that off (this is where i get the king of pwned title), my scoot still isn't fixed. 70 year old lady owns me, causes wreck. 3 weeks for just an estimate owns me. bent frame owns me. not wanting to wait 6 weeks for basic vivid black tins owns me, so i lose my barbed wire paint. (would have been two weeks longer AFTER getting bike back to get that done). constant great riding weather owns me while bike is in shop. all my bro's are riding everyday, some even ride by the house and torment me. all of this since february 20th. going on 8 weeks, monday the 17th will make it 8 weeks. go ahead and hand me my crown. right now the only thing going for me is a couple of sweet installs done (at least IMO). wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what denim said. there is alot of amplifier experience on this board and a few companies who make them. so it's natural for the board to wanna lean towards those companies. but bias? not here. closest things to bandwagons here are SI and SS, and even then other subs get recommended right along side of those. but the simple truth remains, you should take all advice given, throw away half of it and take the rest with a grain of salt. for while our ears and experience tell us one thing, yours will tell you something else. we can guide you, but you have to do the walking. leaning towards RF, nice. either great the old punch stuff or the very new stuff, stay away from everything inbetween (i've got a blown 800.2 in my garge. $12 worth of parts will fix it, but because of RF's board design my guy can't fix it. so $150 or so to fix it? nah. it'll be a paper weight.) but that's my experience and what i get from some serious competitors. i work with a world champion everyday damn near. my choice? memphis first. but they are outa your price range new, unless you go ebay and then you get no warranty. orion is a great choice. i absolutely love my 2500d. hifonics is a nice choice. the nemesis that usually pushes the rl-p has been flawless except for the name not glowing, which i care little about. ma audio. wow, big power, but big current draw. kinda reminds me of jbl in that sense. more advice? listen first. not just to us, but to the producets if you can. go to stores, playwith the amps. look at features. weigh what you read with what you hear. can't hear the amp you want? don't just research these boards, look into the crapton of sites that are strictly for reviews. google the amp your after, your sure to find a review site in the results. look up termpro and see what the competitors are using. that's always a good indication, but beware. some of those guys run modded amps or more then 14 volts. all in all, this is one of the trickiest parts of car audio.alot of good technology out there, but budget is going to limit one to just what he/she can get. and, IMO, here (amps) more then anywhere, you truely get what you pay for. good luck and keep us up to date! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

usually won't fit that way. in 99% of all kits the radio goes above the pocket. now the resource ful can reverse them, but i've seen times where fitment became an issue. somtimes with the radio on bottom it hits something inside the dash or the trim doesn't fit. but hey, give it a whirl, it's not like dash kits are expensive anyway. if you mess one up, you can replace it way too easily. and don't forget... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
