    2009 ford focus system

    All that depends on vehicle, install and how good the box is. Nobody can really tell you its all install dependent but they do get loud from my understandning, you wont be upset with them. Check out Sound Solutions Audio thread and read reviews on them.

    SAE-1000D Concern - blown fuses- possible melting

    Welcome to the club man, everybody has been done wrong by local shops. That is why I dont mess with them at all besides listening to productsa and buying little small accessories. Sorry it had to happen to you but that headunit could have been damaged from taking it out installing it or anything. That is why I try not to buy used because you never know the abuse it was put through before you got it, regardless of who gave it to you.

    Sundown Z15 D2 and D4 Close-Out Special

    I would just get a SAZ-2000D as Jacob said they dont need more than a 1000rms, but if you want to have head room and are smart about gain setting/how you control the volume knob then either amp. Turn off your caps lock too.

    My new box

    Put some duct tape over around the subwoofers outer frame like Jacob did, he said that helped him out on the meter.

    What bettery do I need?

    You will definantly benefit from a HO Alternator if you plan on getting another 2000watt amplifier.

    Are you talking about the test tones or the video with the dome light? If its the dome light one, thats not his truck. Its spleddys 12" Fi BTL. Yeah I was talking about the one with the dome light, ok thanks for the correction.

    jay-cee's Build Log

    I havent been up to anything yet, considering Im unemployed at the moment the speed of this build log wont be that fast but I will definantly be keeping you guys posted. I will have multiple pictures of my new baby when it get heres tomorrow and a new Avatar so get ready fellas. I will be getting the bottom board for my battery rack cut sometime today or this weekend by a friend since I dont have any tools. I just met a member on this site who stays in my area who has tools so a box for this puppy may be here before you know it. Eventually sometime in the future I may get Thumper or Fisher Customs to make me an enclosure for it just because there designs are sick (depends if this sub is a keeper or not but I think it will be).

    chop's build log

    I dont know it if it was me or the camera but it sounded like it might of been bottoming out a little bit on certain notes on the second song. What is you SSF set at on your amp?

    Electrical help

    Yeah now that you said something and it is house wiring which is not good in car audio. Correct me if Im wrong but from my understanding the reason why house wire strands are so thick is because the current flows in the strands. Whereas in car audio the current flows around the outside of the strands. I had a two friends who messed up their amps using this wire, not only was it hard to work with too. You might want to get you some welding wire (weldingsupply.com or weldingdepot.com).
  19. I will be very careful next time I will need some answers here. Thumper sells these amps and is just starting to use them. Maybe the OP just wanted more informations, that he could not find on Google. You won't find everything on google so easily. Overall if you're looking for informations from people you know you can trust about caraudio, like the ssa regulars or mods. Keep cool guys ! Dude everybody is cool, what are you talking about. Me and the OP had a talk in pm's and it is sorted out, so thanks for brewing old things.

    oh no no no loud exhaust is a no no in the real tunner world you cann have an upgraded exhaust but if it sounds like a tin can you better walk. Most believe that if your not running under 13 seconds there is no reason not to have a quite exhaust. You maybe thinking of the "ricers" with big fart can exhaust going like 5mph naa not us lol.... Naw I wasnt talking about loud exhaust, I was talking about with all yall speeding off at the same time once yall got on the freeway.

    Question for BTL 15" enclosure in Buick.

    Sometimes is not what you want but what you can fit in its right enclosure. Go measure the max dimensions you have to work with and then we can tell you what will be best for your car.

    Question for BTL 15" enclosure in Buick.

    That is not sealed off at all, putting towels between is not sealing off the trunk from the cabin. That box looks small, what is the dimensions of that enclosur, what is it tuned to? I think the enclosure and the way you have it setup are the reasons why it doesnt sound how you want it.

    What are these pole options?!

    Looks good , man you guys do it all (make subs, own print shop for shirts and graphics). What else do yall do in house?
