no problem at all

now that i read that section on xmax and output i have decided to keep my cvx's since i heard them on three different amps and i love the performance. ive heard them on 1200 watts or so in a smaller box(my car audio partners car) and they were doing a low to mid 140 db's and he was scared to crank it. so after i get the sundown i will see how they treat me and go from there, i guess i could upgrade the electrical also(thats a must). appreciate the info and thank everyone who gave their .02

there are no fuses on the amp, you will have to run a 200A fuse in-line from the battery to the amps (12v+) power terminal

I couldnt agree with you more because my kicker cvx's have been underpowered since i had them, they have not seen no more than 700 watts rms and i love the way they sound but from previous experience with kicker i just know that when they do get louder and get the right amount of power they do start to lose their crispness plus i feel its finally time to step away from the mainstream car audio. i went to mtx audio website about a year ago and seen their Vd calculator, where they multiply the x-max and Sd of a sub together. i have been comparing a subs Vd lately when deciding which sub or subs would be louder, is this a good calculation to go by (i do not that every install has it variables and is totally install dependent). i love to get an 18" sub cuz its just something about them but ssa recommends at least 7-8ft^3 for the xcon to shine, so if i can only give it 6.1ft^3 i should either keep my 12" setup or get the two 15" Icons(is 30Hz port tuning good for these subs). How do the Icons compare or contrast with Fi Car Audio Q subs, cuz when i rely on the VD calculator it says the Q's would do better and i do understand that its not true accurate measurement or fact just going with what i have seen. If i am wrong about comparing a subs VD as one chaacteristic of getting a sub then please inform me, i appreciate it. Mark is running his pair of 18's in approx 12 cubes, so 6.1 is fine for a single 18, but we don't suggest going any smaller. If you want to go with the single Xcon 18, go for it. And 30hz tuning is great for all three of our subs. The Icon/Q contrast has been made a bunch of times. What is comes down to is two different ways at reaching a very similar result. The Q will have a slight advantage sealed, and the Icon slight advantage ported (that is not speaking in terms of db numbers on the TermLab, it is in reference to the specs of the drivers themselves). The Q does have the excursion advantage over the Icon, either way Icon or Q, you are getting an excellent sounding sub woofer made here in the USA. You should read Neil's topic in the Advanced Topics section about Xmax and output. i searched for neils topic and couldnt find it, but ill keep looking for it. i see u do combo sales with the xcon and the saz-1500d, in my case would a saz-2000d be to much for the 18" xcon.

well i looked at he dc lvl 4xl, and its in the runnings; i also looking at ascendant audio mayhem 18" or sundown nightshade 18. whats the x-max on the nightshade 18"s

which would be better for the saz-2000d, box is 6.01 ft^3 @ 30 hz: ssa xcon18" or fi car audio btl18". for a daily system to hit killer chest pounding lows

Id go with a D3400 under the hood should slide right in you will want the I-bar to addapt to the side terminals then Id go with anything from the D2400 to the D3100 in the trunk if i do get a powermaster d3400 as a primary battery, why would i want to get another one for my secondary battery. my systems rms is close to 3000 watts; not familiar with xz powermaster batteries. would it be better to go with optima redtop for primary and powermaster for secondary battery or xs powermaster as the primary and secondary battery. appreciate the help and info

im looking at kinetik now, the website said i should replace my primary battery with a hc1400 and my secondary battery with a hc1800

i have a 2003 saturn ion with a 105 amp alternator (eventually will be upgraded when and if i can find one), i was only familiar with optima batteries and xstatic batcaps till recently i read up on xs powermaster. i am going to go with a redtop primary battery and xstatic batcap 2000 as the secondary battery, i was wondering what powermaster would be suitable for my setup.

i see the saz-3500d's have came in and are being shipped, any word on the sz-2000d's. or is the delivery date still around the eta date. what is the w x h x l of amp
