nice tappered horn box! post some pics or a design you have in mind! here is my box, will yours look similar? and be sure to make everything parallel, by using shims or 1.2.3. blocks and such! I know I most likely didn't have to mention that but I thought I would type it anyways! lol in that box is 2- Sundown Audio 12inch Night shades V1 with 4 sundown audio Zv3.0 spiders

from what I have read yes they can handle that much power each and in some special cases a bit more to! lol! provided the setup and electrical background is enough! have you read into this thread? and if I were you I would get a SAZ 2500!! I have 2 and they are awesome! check out db-r for some great prices! db-r referb section: http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_67_69 an SAZ2000 referb http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_67_69_98&products_id=231 not a bad deal on that one! that is if you are into the referb thing! he does offer a 1year warranty and he is a nice guy to buy from with tons of people to speak for him including me!

wow nice setup! I guess heat wasn't an issue for you! I really like how that setup looks in the rear of that car!

hey take a look at this link first for an insight on what you will pay

So I was cruising the eBay (fleebay) and I noticed this 1,050 Line driver and I thought I would ask WHY does it cost so much? sure it looks pretty but does that mean it should cost 1050? is this guy off his rocker or do I just not know enough about line drivers? http://www.ebay.com/itm/130381595024?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1413 http://www.sinfoni.com/Accessories/Premier_One/premieroneinfosheet.pdf

lol very true! unfortunately for us nobody has purchased said expensive item... YET lol and thanks for your guys input in this! i guess I can conclude this seller is off his rocker then loL!

Impious thank you very much for helping me to understand what is going on here! I have actually inquired through the company for the MSRP of this particular item and funny story the guy selling this item on ebay told me he got a hold of 3 of them from a sale where a distributor was going out of sale and then when I contact the company [email protected] I got the same guy answering my e-mails as I did on ebay lol! but since I have your attention can ask you or anyone for that matter pre-amplifier needed or not really unless I am looking for a SQ kind a setup?

ya I would most definitely up grade the wiring between the two batteries and the big 3 also should always be done in 1/0 or bigger. sure 4awg might be enough but if it was you wouldn't be on here asking lol! but then again what is needed is always hit and miss and trail and error. Sure I could tell you toss a xs3100 in there and be done with it but you may find that a 3100 isn't enough. for your next setup I would get a bigger rear battery( say a kinetik 2400 or XS3100 or something in that size), do the big 3 in 1/0, do two runs of 1/0 from front to back battery, also what size is your alt? then once all that is done report back to us your findings!

I would almost venture that the HC600 is the choke point in the system, as it has a smaller reserve and that 1200 is most likely killing it pretty good. currently I am running 5k (2-saz 2500) on a h/o alt (180amp~220amp haven't clamp it yet) and I have 2-NSB90's in the trunk. my voltage holds around 13.1 full tilt and I have the big 3 also

his link for the manuals doesn't work but I managed to get a link so if anyone would like the link let me know

What impedance.are you running at also be sure to double check it again

28 spiders and I thought 4 was bad ass lol

Yes sir that is the shipping number or better referred to as a tracing number and because I see a z in it sounds like they are shipping with UPS

If I was you I would pay RAM design 12$ to give you. the best design

Doesn't using wire as a single input defeat the whole purpose of using those blocks as a solid piece can handle more current then a stranded wire so to be safe I wouldn't do that If I was you I would pay me for a set lol u used to make those but mine were 2 runs of 1/0 in and my input nipple to the amp was half a.moon shape. To. Fix those up you could look for dowel, which should be A solid piece. Use a dail vernier to measure the input terminal on the amp to size up the dowel needed then just make one longer then the other

Holy cow I just got that e-mail from Nick, I am sorry to hear he has MS I know I will be donating for sure!

nice! did you get the 1200 v2

okay well first tell us this: 1. what amp 2. what your cars electrical consists of 3. how was your gain set 4. what is your crossovers set at 5. what is the rest of the amp settings while we are on the topic 6. what is your ohm load 7. have you check your sub to see if something messed up there 8. what is your sub 9. what is your name 10. who is your daddy and what does he do lol! jk and report back and always try to give all the info you can right off the top!

one slight correction on my part! the diameters listed on the cart are for solid wire standards. Stranded wire must be larger diameter to compensate for the air gaps between each strand. Stranded wire 0 gauge according to AWG should be 9.53mm (or .375") in diameter. this link: http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm so with that I would like to restate my last paragraph. the following brands do not meet the standard: sound quest Q-Power Raptor so lets try to avoid those brands!

ya bend-able does help out a lot! I am glad you liked the write up, be sure to spread the word!

Hey everyone thanks for waiting this out for so long. The reason it took me so long to get part 2 of 3 of this review up is Canada post was on strike for a good month and you can imagine the mess that made! At any rate here we go with part 2 of 3. I will be reviewing these brands in the same fashion as I did previously. Here are the 7 brands Audiopipe - Supplied by sacsking916 on CA.com Bullz Audio - Supplied by J@SouthSlap on SSA.com IXOS - Supplied by Fusetrapper on ebay.com Kicker - Supplied by Audio4ever on CA.com Mobilespec - Supplied by yet again Audio4ever on CA.com Flex-A-Prene Welding Wire - Supplied by faizal_jamal on ebay.com Shoc OFC (current discontinued) - Supplied by siccostyle's I would first like to say thankyou to everyone who donated wire to me and or made it very cheap for me to purchase. If you notice I said this is part 2 of 3. Part 3 of 3 will consist of 3 brands, IXOS, KNU KOL, Monster being load tested with a clamp meter and a carbon pile load tester of about max ~500 amps, This will be a two man event more on that later. Now onto the info! Subjective review 14. Flex-A-Prene Welding wire wasn't to easy to flex and bend but it was do-able, one thing worthy of mention is there was a cardboard liner on the inside of the jacket it made a cool noise when I cut it. also I noticed that these strands were a lot thicker and were straight. The price on this wire which I found on ebay which was being sold as fork truck/ welding wire was quite reasonable and down to earth, the only down side to it was it had the least conductor OD of all the wires viewed today. 15. Audiopipe, this wire was difficult to bend, and the cost was very cheap! The price I found was on ebay and it came to 1.54$ per foot, but worthy to say the conductor OD was on the average size so this will get an average rating although I suspect this from CCA wiring 16. Bullz Audio was another one of those super hard ones to bend but it was also the cheapest wire I was able to find, with the cost being 1.06$, and Conduct OD was also average on it. 17. IXOS, is the next on the chopping block. This wire is what some would call the holy grail, or rather an infamous wire as it was the most expensive wire I have reviewed. The bend-a-bily of this wire was extremely easy to bend and offered little resistance, and yet again the conductor OD was yet again average. 18. Kicker, yet again another fan favorite, this one was also very easy to bend and the conductor OD was above average here. the only down side was the price tag. 19. Mobilespec, a brand I personally haven't heard of and it was a bit hard to find a price tag on this wire but I eventually did and I got 3.7$, which is a bit high, the bendy-ness of this wire was horrid and the conductor OD was under the average overall this wire wouldn't be my favorite pic. 20. And last but not least Shoc Competition OFC wiring. This wire was very easy to beind and one of my favorites to bend! The price is unknown as it is currently discontinued from what I can tell, and it has the average conductor OD of the wires viewed today. and to wrap it up have a quick look at this! Well this has been a long and drawn out subjective review filled with lots of pictures, I hope you all have enjoyed it and I would like to give my subjective top picks and my closing thoughts at this time. Out of all the wire I was able to play around with my favorite pic from the OFC side of wires was a tie between Knu KOL, IXOS, Flex-A-Prene. These wires will always get my nod of approval because they are easy to bend and they don't cost that much, along with a nice amount of copper in them to support a fair amount of current flow. Any of those three listed above would/ should be able to suit anyone needs. My top picks for CCA wiring would have to be Cadence and KNU KCA. Both of those wires showed great amounts of CCA in them and very flexible to bend around a tight corner! Again I have never used CCA wiring before but if I ever had to or wanted to switch I would most definitively pick one of those two. Here is the original for comparison Not So subjective review Just like last time I gut a 6inch section from each brand and cut the jacket off to reveal just the copper and I weighted that copper and displayed my findings. Based off of my findings with the tobacco sale I would have to pick either KNU KOL, Kicker, RF wiring and IXOS , as they all showed a lot of copper content. But based on price and copper content I would have to pick KNU KOL over all the brands and a close runner up would have to be the welding wire. I would have picked Kicker or RF or IXOS but their pricing is a bit high as compared to KNU or even Welding wire which is an excellent runner up for its 3-3.5$ price range. Also please note that since I did this review KNU has raised there price of the KOL wiring and it is still a better value! So with this I would like to conclude and say I had a lot of fun doing these reviews a I have learned a lot about 1/0 and how companies will all vary but please keep in mind that the Conductor Diameter of 1/0 wiring should be around 0.325" as per the standards I have read on the web and all of the wires are over this standard. ( http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm ) Again I hope you all have enjoyed reading this and maybe learned a little bit along the road! Please feel free to post comments, questions or maybe even ask for a little bit of clarification on certain points I have touched on that weren't fully understood. Like always if you would like to see some more pictures of anything close up or a different angle please just drop me a p/m and I will be glad to help. Enjoy your day and week Kenneth

if you need a 2 channel amp for something then by all means do it man! 110$ is a good deal! this is to say if the amp is in working order and cosmetically it is good!

I used to see some on ebay for about 150-200$ ~ around that price area! why what does your buddy want to sell you one for?

so that show is 20hours away from me! I think my car would die!

Question before I give my two cents Where are you going to mount this cap? And what does rest of your cars electrical consist of?
