Im glad im not a Team SSA member. There is no general rule of thumb when it comes to enclosure bracing, if it flexes add bracing. If you use that knowledge that the baffle is that weak because of the speaker holes, dont you think adding bracing would be a win lose situation. Yes it would make the mounting baffle stronger at the bracing points but it would also make it weaker were there is no bracing considering the small amount the brace is actually attached to. Im not saying i disagree with you guys at all, i just think the only way to make that baffle bracing as effective as the side wall bracing it would require multiple points of bracing (more than 2).

Multiple build logs using similar equipment if not more power, if thats not enough data then i guess none of us no what where doing. Boxes tend to flex when underbuilt or poorly built, plain and simple. Double baffling and multiple side wall threads are usually adequate for bracing.

Mounting baffle shouldnt need a brace if built right, side wall baffles will suffice.

Haha at the people who can look at a picture and not tell the difference. What does the rest of your system consist of OP?

I been in the 5k amp shopping market for a minute and this is one amp im considering. Even though i probably wont need a warranty, sadly to say Everest does not warranty any of there competition amps (5ks on up). Heard great things about these amps and the world records they broke in Nic Watts truck.

Double post Bud Light fail

I do like the all black layout of the Skar amp, when are you installing?

Baffles look good so far, tuned in.

Nice start so far

Good post Impious

Not opposed, but hadn't thought about it. Mark lftn did his like that. Looks cool. Whatever you decide im sure will get down and help you reach your goal. (4) 15''s or (3) 18"s would be a sight to see.

Thought about doing a clamshell, subs on top and bottom.

Cause your not a Skar lover bro

Ive heard good things about their Platform line-up of subwoofers especially the Level 3's.

Yeah i would pick up the Aura over the Sundown as well.

I'm curious to see how long it will survive. My zcons ran off one coil each sub one 14k for a week straight and I don't take it easy. Lol ok, I'll think about it, I think even with gain all the way down to zero, it will still see 4-5k at normal listening levels lol. Thats a pretty bold claim considering the gain is not a volume knob.

And stop using the same screw hole

Ive heard of a few DC amps going bad so your not the only one, hope it all gets worked out soon.

Nice find

X2 please rewire that power and ground wire going into the amp.

They are the same amps and same buildhouse, Jacob discontinued the amp for that reason resulting in him tooling/designing all of his amps now. People copying the success of the saz-4500 and putting a 5000 or 5500 model number on the case, this has been discussed on multiple threads on multiple forums showing the amps performing similar.

His question could of been answered two or three pages ago if people weren't trying to be know it alls who act like they couldnt help. Yes you can use one of those Kicker kx3, you wont have full active capabilities such as different slopes/time alignment or etc. It will let you get by till you can get the appropriate processor or headunit.

Minus well keep it all Sundown unless the Nendo was cheaper.

Have you installed the amp yet? I get mine tomorrow, hopefully i can get it installed on Friday if it doesnt rain.
