Im looking at the site and I dont see anything about that. Are you on a specific budget?

You should make a new thread for this with what your treos are tuned at. It will get more eyes. But look at this... http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/Sundown-Audio-SAE%252d1200D.html

Those are only 6"x10" pieces. It depends on how much of the truck you are going to do and how many layers you want.

Right now its the cheapest sundown amp over 1000 watts. You can use the ssd but make sure the gain isnt too high and you dont get too happy with the knobs. They are great amps though. I own 4 with the SAE1200D coming also. im guessing if i got this amp i should go with the 2ohm ssd since its then 600rms from the sundown. is this correct? If thats how you want to wire it. I would buy the dual 2ohm version and wire it to a 1ohm load and back the gains way off. But the amp will be very efficient at 2ohms and the 600 plus will also do fine. But then you would need the dual 1ohm version ssd instead. So ask yourself, would you have more use for a driver that can be wired to 1 and 4ohms or .5 and 2ohms?

Why, are you going to hook it up to your BTL in your room?

Here are a few links to some great alt companies. The last one Im not so familiar with but Ive heard good things recently. They might be a little pricey but they are worth it. http://www.dcpowerinc.com/ http://www.mechman.com/ http://www.ohiogen.com/ http://www.excessiveamperage.com/

I would contact Dom at Iraggi and ask him personally. I know my mechman said it was ok but alts are different. Something about the belt starts on the inside (closest to the block) of the pulley and the excess hangs over the outside.

This is just healthy debate dude. Dont get all worried now. After all that, I had hoped you had made your decision. But it does say to in the manual so...I would do it. I did it to my BXI2006. If it was a Zed then probably not.

You know, that idea had never even crossed my mind. lol thanks ill concider it Might be able to score a couple of seats at the junk yard for cheap. Would really open up your options for audio. And if its a work truck, which I think it is, the junkyard seats would be perfect. You wont have to worry about effing those up because they most likely will be a little scarred allready. Im at pickandpull quite often looking for 2 bucket seats for my truck so I can get rid of my 60/40 and put in a center console.

Congrats dude.

ok my amplifier has no internal fusing and is around 2000 watts (i dont know how accurate hifonics amp ratings are) so do i need an 2nd fuse near the amp?? I see in your sig that you only have one amp. If that is true you'll will only need 1 fuse and that would be placed near the battery. Now the fuse you put in the holder would be rated for what the amp needs to be protected, and not the wire. But if you have two amps this is a different story. Wrong. The fuse right next to the battery protects the wire, not the amp. Thats why it is right after the battery and not right before the amp. The fuse before the amp, protects the amp. KU40 just explained this. Well i can prove you wrong here is a piece of info right from the new zed manuals... Last is the +12volt connection. Using #8 (#4 max)or larger, strip the wire to 19mm (0.75”) and insert in to the hole marked BATT (+) on the power connector. Run the cable (away from all audio cables) to the location of the vehicle’s battery. At the battery location install the a fuse holder no further away from the battery (+) terminal than 300mm (12”). Insert this end of the +12volt power cable into the fuse holder. Making sure that the fuse is removed, connect the other end of the fuse holder to the battery’s (+) terminal using appropriate high quality battery connectors. Insert the supplied fuse. DO NOT OVERFUSE as this can be a fire hazard. NO where in that paragraph does he say anything about a fuse near the amplifier, and most his amplifiers do have fuses on them any way. The Fuse near the battery would be below the rating of the wire any way. So in fact it would protect the wire. Also i read some where also that zed dislikes distribution blocks as well. He would rather have you run seperate power wire for every amplifier. If you want i can find this aswell. If you are running two amplifers like is said in my post before,then this way won't work unless u run a new power wire. It doesnt say anything about a fuse near the amp in that paragraph because you just answered it yourself. If the amp already has an internal fuse then you dont need it. Its that simple. And who gives a shit about d-blocks? If you are going down in wire size from a d-block, you should use a smaller fuse. That is very simple as well. You proved nothing. I forgot to type the NOT in one of the setences. Here is the corrected sentence. Most his amplifiers do NOT have fuses on them anyway. Which then would prove my point. Correct if you use a d block you would have a smaller fuse. Now the fuse you would put in the d block would be the fuse that would protect the amp you are using, then the fuse under the hood would be the sum of the two fuses in the d block. But going back to the original post he never said anything about a d block, also in his sig I only see that he has one amp and thats where i based my interpetation off of. So are you going to base your decisions on one brands manual? Ive seen plenty of manuals including the OP's that say to fuse before the amp too. And after all we were giving advice to the OP who has a Hifonics amp, not a Zed. But I guess we can agree to disagree.

I had several cd's by DJ Magic Mike. I was in junior high I believe. I used to listen to the cassettes on my walkman back in the day. Thats how lame I was. Bass tapes on a walkman. It does slam though! I only have like three songs now on my mp3 that I downloaded. Lower The Dynamite! FTW!!

hahaha. That is going to be worked into my vernacular at work. probably not. Never seen that before. lol. I had it halfway right though. Hopefully not his rejection!

How do you match fuse size to wire exactly? Is there a formula? Personally I don't use fuses except right after the last battery before the amp. Ive seen some kind of chart before but I dont remember all the shit it said. I was only looking for info on 1/0 wire and it said to fuse it at about 350amp. I didnt take it as the bible but a reference. I also heard this from many people too. Thats what I use on all my 1/0. Ive used as small as 250 before but not for very long. I had some wire, when I had my first system, get completely fried by using too big of a fuse for 8 ga wire. It was like pvc.

So you are saying the fuse after the batt is to be matched with the onboard amp fuse and not the wire size?

I wouldnt buy one of those batts for car audio. If it was me Id spend a little more and get a Deka 9A31. It is one of the cheapest and best reviewed out there. Unless maybe you get a fat discount or something.

I'll pm you about it cause Ive already done enough thread jackin.

I already talked to him. He said everything is good on his end. I made a topic about it awhile ago but it still does the same shit. I upload one or 10 pics and the screen loads and goes white. It says done in the bottom corner and its never happened any differently than that. No pics in the gallery for me but I always check every couple weeks to see if it might work.

You can upload a different picture for your avatar, after you upload it the page still has the same avatar on it. Just refresh the page and your new avatar will be there and same thing for the forum page when you go back to it at first it still has the old avatar, once you refresh that page the new avatar shows up also. I meant more towards uploading pics in the gallery. I can change the avatar just fine but thats all I can do. Sucks. I know people hate having to go to photobucket to see pics but its all I got right now.

What figures? Wtf are you talking about? By the way you c-word i was just looking for a specific volume and frequency to work with, thanks alot!!! So you want me to choose an enclosure size FOR you when the range of difference is only .7ft3? Are you kidding? Why dont I just come over there and build it for you too? Do a little homework for yourself and you will see what the popular enclosure sizes and tuning areas are for that driver. It doesnt help to write without punctuation or forming proper sentences either. Its pretty hard to read. You cant expect to come here and we do all the work for you. We come here to learn and spread knowledge so we expect you do the same. And thank you...I am a c-word! You little b-word a-word f-word.

So...are you willing to raise the rear seat to accommodate for more space?

That battery looks pretty crazy. It looks really good and I bet its nice and loud. Keep it up dude.
