    Help choosing a sub

    Get a good custom box for one of the 15" subs you already have. And sell the other sub. If you want to run a Fi sub, you'd better get a 12" BL D2 to have a final 1 ohm load on your amp (1000 w at 1 ohm). The Fi Q will give you plenty lows too, will be more accurate, but will give you a little less output than the BL. The ssd : I don't know, but it is less powerful than the 2 others. But how can you tell you did not had low bass because of the sealed box ? It must has been too small for both subs, that's why.

    Help! The brits are trying to F_ck me!

    They did not even get out of the first round. Same as FRANCE. Shame on us!
  8. On a 4runner, I think you can run a 1500 watts amp like a Sundown saz, easily ! The saz 2000 would be a nice match for this sub. Like we told you several times, get a voltmeter to watch your voltage when you're playing music! 1) Do the big3 in 0 ga first. 2)Then install your amp (1500 to 2000 watts rms, the pre sale on the sundown 2500 is a" hellova" deal !!!), and the volt meter. 3) Check your voltage with engine off(should be around 12.5 v). Then engine on at iddle (around 14 - 14.4 v). Then, when you're at "full" volume(with the right gain setting though). 5) If you see voltage under 13 v, you must do some upgrades somewhere in your electrical system : HO alt, batts,...? Come back here with all the voltage informations, and they will told you what you can do. Hope that helps.

    Yeaaaah Maaaaan, Martinique in the French Caribbeans.Take a look : Martinique - Best Caribbean Islands, Caribbean Tourism, Best Caribbean Destination And yes, the box builder / owner of the car is a Rastafarian for at least 15 years !!!

    I forgot to add that we need some SSA stickers (and goodies)!!! Sundown Audio is already visible on the car , on the windshield and on a side. The 4 saz will be installed in front of the box, standing on a piece of mdf, just behind the seats. So, they will be visible when you open the door, or fold down the seats. The JBL amps will be each on a side of the car, quite hidden though.

    The whole system is not installed yet. He is still working on it. I will have pics as soon as I can. Don't worry !!! He need to order some ring connectors (0 and 4 ga), distribution blocks, fuses, and Damplifier for the roof. BTW : I would love you to see our local car audio friends when we tell them it's absolutely not a SPL sub, and that we are not looking for db numbers, but for Quality !!! They can really hear the quality of the sound system (from bass, to mids, to highs).

    More stability for sure. We did not use any bracing in the boxes. We just bought the design like that, and we are very very happy with it. I trust ....JBLCam.... I don't know how we could have lift the box if it was a single one ! Soooo heavy ! For the videos, I don't know. Got to find a cam somewhere. I will try to make a video with my phone first. Oh, I know who can make a good video for you all, I will call him as soon as I can.

    Box specs : 4 cu ft NET per sub. 30 Hz tuning, Double baffle, and Flush mount (3 pieces of wood : heavy as hell!!!) big 45's on ALL corners; double flared port. He still has a weak stock alternator, and a single Optima blue batt (4 years old !). He's trying to get a new and more powerful alt. He will buy 2 big XS batt this week locally. I listened to only one box with 2000 watts, and I could hardly stay in the car ! The box is really efficient. He had a 3.7 cu ft box tuned to 32 hz lately, but this new box is INCREDIBLE !!! A guy jumped out of the car when he heared the bass !!! This guy has a Pioneer spl 15" sub on a MTX 40001 amp(or so). He found the Xcon to hard for him, he is not used to so much bass on lower notes !!!!!! We made a test with the 2 boxes in the car, but the amp we used was an IMPACT car audio 2800 (the digital rebel) giving 2200 watts at 1 ohm. It was so disappointing : we had to put some bass boost because it wasn't good at all. We had more bass with one sub on 2 Sundown saz 1000 than with the 2 subs on the Impact amp !! Now my friend took everything off : he does not want to run any amp besides SUNDOWN : he loves this amp now, way more than he liked the Impact Digital Rebel ! I will take more pictures when everything is installed : maybe next week.

    Now look at the first box : Only one finished box in the car: He will have the same second one in it too !!! He will have to take the JBL amp on another side of the trunk !!!

    Sorry for the poor quality of the pics. They come from my Blackberry camera phone ! Here is a close look of the carbon fiber adhesive we used to have a nicer look !
