    SA-15

    I didn't think they were for sale yet! lol but then again i might be behind the times!
  3. hey if you need help with a box design I know a super nice guy who can make you a damn nice box! if you would like his info just drop me a p/m here (private message) I added this post because you mentioned you were in need of a smaller box?
  4. x2 step up to a bigger gauge wire! especially if you plan on running a bigger amp down the road! and yes 4ft will be fine!
  5. the long run I have used with a battery in the back (near the amp) was about 2-3 feet! why how long is your ground run?

    Sundown amp question

    but he also said that the protect light is coming on... why is that coming on for? and i think i remember reading a F/S post where the LED was broken!

    OP can you find the for sale thread?

    Sundown amp question

    if the protect light is coming on right away when you plug the remote in there is an issue there. the protect light shouldn't be on. the only time I have seen a protect light on is when someone hooks a low low low impedance up to the amp or clips the hell out of an amp! but these are happen during play time right. the other time when a protect light comes on is when there is an issue with say the fuses or something else is blown! do you have a dmm?

    Sundown amp question

    do you have ANY speakers sitting around? if not pop down to wal-mart buy the cheapest sub they have use it and see if the amp is working then return the sub! OR Hook your dmm up to the output of the amp and set it to VAC and see if there ANY output! if there isn't any output then the amp is screwed!

    Sundown Neo-Pro 8 and 10 (Midrange)

    0.5 cubics for that 10inch nice! hey congrats on making a nice midbass!! tweeters?? no?

    Sundown Neo-Pro 8 and 10 (Midrange)

    indeed those things are ugly .... no you guys are crazy the duck tape gasket is awesome! also I like the video near the end it sounded like Satan was in the speaker lol! also quick question the box that speaker was in how big was the box? .6 cubics?

    NS v.2 18" with 9.25" Spider

    o wow this looks amazing!!

    OScope question

    hey if the alligator doesn't fit in the terminal simply put it over the screw! as long as it is touching the negative terminal on the amp you are good to go! same goes with the positive terminal. and if you can't seem to figure it out or something is wrong simple place a piece of wire say 2inch long stripped at both ends and then put one in the amp and one on the probes and you are good to go!

    Sundown Neo-Pro 8 and 10 (Midrange)

    if i picked up two of these I think I would wire them in parallel then run them off of a 125.2 lol! at 4ohm which would mean what 200rms per driver! lol! also how much depth is required for these speakers! it looks like a good 3-4inch! if so I have that to spare lol! summer project here i come! lol

    Sundown Neo-Pro 8 and 10 (Midrange)

    wow impressive! i was actually looking for a pair of killer mids to slam into my rear doors! what is the depth on these? like total length?
  17. CrazyKenKid

    OScope question

    hey i forgot about this topic lol! yes the big probe goes on the positive terminal of the amp and the aligator one (black) goes on the negative part of the amp! and all connections are made on the output side of the amplifier (where you hook the sub up to)
  18. never mind look what i found for you! http://www.caraudio.com/forums/amplifiers/495449-class-bd-vs-class-d.html and this http://www.carsound.com/news/archives/8_17_100_1.shtml and a little more technical answer.. a little http://books.google.ca/books?id=HrDXZctHzUQC&pg=PA189&lpg=PA189&dq=what+is+class+BD+compared+to+class+D+amplifier&source=bl&ots=YiEPLPr7_u&sig=kyp54_AxvNINvQ9t7WYEio0IcdM&hl=en&ei=C3wvTfCTGIXQgAfkj9la&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false
  19. BD? what you mean class A/B Class A/B: amplifiers remedy cross-over distortion to a great degree by combining the best features of both classes. The push-pull drivers are carefully biased just above their fully OFF state so that the transition between drivers is smoother. Therefore, each driver is never completely turned OFF. This alleviates most of the cross-over distortion at the expense of efficiency. An A/B amplifier is still more efficient (60 Ð 65%) than a Class A amplifier. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/79383 and if your Sub sonic filter has the lowest setting of 50 all the frequency under 50hz like 20,30,40, and 49hz will all be cut off!

    Hearing Lost

    I am worried about losing my hearing but then again they do have hearing aids right! lol

    Power for the 3500D

    I think it will be enough remember that is 3500rms at 1ohm for a burp have you factored in an impedance rise? for example when i burped my single 15inch sub on 5krms the impedance was riseing to about 5ohms so my sub was only actually seeing about 2600rms when i was burping at 40hz now if i wired my sub lower the impedance would have went down and when i burped at 40hz the ppower getting to the sub would also increase and most likey raise my db score! or murder the sub! lol so first why don't you install the above equipment get a clamp meter and then do a few burps and find out what your impedance rise/fall is then decide from there if you need more batteries or bigger alt or...or whatever like people say install it all and see if it works well or not but my opinion is what you got wil work out and I think you will be happy with it! but jsut give it a try and report back! remember this is a burp maybe 10sec just enough to get a good reading! and get a few friends to help you with this or a meter that will HOLD the highest number!
  22. aww i thought caps had there place but it wasn't a big place! plus 1 for you kind sure nice explanation!

    Power for the 3500D

    I don't know who kyle is but just because someone else can doesn't mean everyone can! kyle might has more batteries kyle might have bigger batteries kyle might be running 2 alts! remember kyle is kyel and you are you! just because i am running 5krms to a single 15inch NS v1 doesn't mean everyone else can! lol

    Power for the 3500D

    well 3500 watts on 12volts = nearly 300amp to power that amp at full tilt! your alt is 180amps and your two batteries have a combined ah of 200ah? I think you will be fine! just roll with it! remember rule of thumb if there is 200amps of fusing on the amp you need at least 100AH!

    yet again another gain issue!

    OKay here is what is up! I just installed my 2-12inch NS v1, and powering them is 2-saz2500 all wired to 2ohms! (subs wire to 4ohms and then wired in parallel to each other to drop the load to 2ohms) now with my last setup it was a single 15inch NS v1 d1 wired in parellel to get a 2ohm load! this isn't the last box but close enough to what it all looked like. now back ground, with the single 15inch first I set it via dmm, then used and oscope to set my gains and then clamped it and realized that i was making about 2400rms on a 6~ohm load on a burp. which was good enough to get me a 145.5 db on burp out of the old setup. now here is the issue with the 2-12s installed and with the previous gain settings when i crank it all the way up my one amp will go into protect due to clipping or to low of an impedance(not sure which one). now i would simple jsut reset the gains but stupid me forgot about the gains because it was getting late and I dropped the new box in with the subs then i proceeded to seal it off with expanding foam and now i realize that i would have to reset my gains agian but takign out that box will be a bitch. both of the amps are UNDER the sub box in the tire well. but I think I found a loop hole! I am using a remote gain knob on those amps so would I be able to turn the knob down a bit rather then take the whole box out and go though countless hours just to twist the knob a bit? or is that not how it works? I assume because it is a remote gain knob it would act like the gain knob on the amps...no? I don't know what to do other then not play the system at max which is no big issue as it get loud when everything is low as that box is tuned to 30-90hz and the system is crossed at 80hz! at any rate what can I do? o and school starts on Monday so i want/need to do something soon lol
