Hey, I'm pretty new to SSA Forums, and I just wanna start out by saying this is a great site and I have already found out a lot of useful things on here. I got bored tonight, and I decided to make a simple Fi wallpaper out of a high resolution Fi logo that Nick sent me (Thank you Nick!). I made it in TONS of resolutions, and I can make it in more on demand, as of right now, they're only uploaded on zShare in a zip file with all the resolutions listed below, if you do not like zShare, let me know a better place to upload them and I will, if you would like me to upload a certain one to a certain website, let me know which one and what website and I will do so. Here's the current resolutions. 16:10 --2560x1600 --1920x1200 --1680x1050 --1440x900 --1280x800 16:9 --1920x1080 (1080p) --1280x720 (720p) 4:3 --2048x1536 --1920x1440 --1600x1200 --1440x1080 --1280x960 --1152x864 --1024x768 --800x600 --640x480 5:4 --1280x1024 Download link: FiWallpaper.zip - 2.48MB

It looks to be about 2.1 cubic feet tuned to around 41hz.

Yeah, why?

My friend has the same amp, he ran it at 1 ohm pushing an RE SX 10", it worked fine, it got very hot, but I don't remember it ever limiting itself, he did say it shut off sometimes though, but that's understandable because he was running it lower than recommended, and he always pushed the amp pretty hard, he has since switched to a Sundown SAZ-1000D v2 and it pounds way harder, way cleaner, and never shuts off or even gets very warm.

I remember a while ago, there was a thread on here where someone had way too much flex, and it destroyed the whole roof and windshield and the guy had to rebuild and reinforce the whole thing... Does anyone know what thread that was? Link? Thanks.

That's not it. But that looks insane! If I remember, it was much older than that, and it did a lot more damage, I think... Amazing find though.

I'm having trouble finding it, I've been looking for about an hour. I think it was a red car, van, or SUV, and there was detailed pics or videos of the rebuild and reinforcement of the roof around the windshield... It's an older thread, and the whole area above the windshield caved in I believe.

It's definitely possible, I heard XT line was overrated but I'm not sure.

Is the subwoofer hooked up? If it is, try unhooking it. Make sure it's actually wired to 4 ohms, does it have dual voice coils? Dual 2? Dual 4? Make sure the amplifier is bridged. Also, I'm not sure the XT1600.2 will put out 1100 watts RMS... But 20 volts at 4 ohms is only about 100 watts, so something isn't right.

It almost looks like one is hooked up backwards in the first vid?

I've noticed, the bass tones usually used to set the gains are 0db, but in most rap songs, bass lines are around -7db to -8db... Some are even lower, especially for other genres. I recently used -8db tones on my friend's setup, and it got MUCH louder, this was about 4 weeks ago, and everything is still running fine, subwoofer never even gets warm to the touch. Shouldn't you use -7 to -8db tones for setting RMS power instead of using 0db tones? Because if you think about it, -7 to -8 is the RMS, and 0db would be the "peak" or "max" or whatever you wanna call it (not that it matters). For those wondering, this is the system I set the gains on: Amplifier - Sundown SAZ-1000D Subwoofer - RE Audio SX 10" Dual 2 Ohm Coils Box - 1.4 Cubic feet, 33hz

Hahahaha nice.

So Jacob, my friend ordered a 1000D pre-sale, should it be here next week? We're in 97236.

Thank you so much! I searched forever.

Anyone know where I can get rubber gaskets like this for 12's? http://www.avforums.com/forums/attachments/diy-subwoofer-build/153447d1261267076-dual-15-push-pull-diy-build-gasket.jpg

Well I'm seriously thinking about getting this amplifier or the AP1500D, they are extremely cheap and I've heard pretty good stories about them.

8 months later...

Could you please tell me what you think of the AP1500D?

So the AP1800 is putting out rated power even though it only has 4 gauge inputs? What if you had the side of the amp hang off of whatever it's mounted on, then would you be able to use 4 to 0 adapters?

Wow, I really need to get some of that Titebond stuff, I've heard nothing but good things about it.

What ever you use to hold the wood together, did you use wood glue? Or...?

What did you use to seal the box in the 4th picture? It looks so nice.
