So I would like to inform everybody of where this build stands at right now. I was tipped back in January of a guy selling some stetsom amps over at SuckMyDi**. Guy name was/is !!!Blinky!!! Well anyways, longer story short, money was sent January and have yet to received the Stetsom 10kd I've payed for. Will be filing a police report tomorrow. So we will see what happens with that. I am looking for a amp that does 10k-15k rms. budget is 1-1.5k$. My Pioneer is currently in the shop, I believe there is something wrong with the RCA output, so waiting for that. Also, goals for slamology is to have doors glassed, and laminates/tints installed. And after Slam, I will be installing SDS then the lastly the subwoofers. So I guess just stay tuned!

If you paid with Paypal, try filing a claim. Paypal has always taken care of me.

That sucks! I hope things go in your favor and you get your money back.

Yea it sucks bad man... Because I know I won't be able to get ALL the money back due to w/e fees that may come into play.

Sucks about your amp situation but thats a hard budget to work with for 10-15k.

Yeah I know man I had no buisness even looking at that site.. What budget do you believe is enough or suitable for that power range?

Sorry dude. I told you don't buy that stetsom.

yeah It sucks... I should have listened :smh:

I now do enclosure designs, past professional experience work can be found below, this is the enclosure that I have decided to design. This is a top view and no I can not design another like it, sorry patent pending

Rembrandt?

The line formation and flow is much more indicative of Monet with a sprinkling of Renoir.

Nice work along the way, love all the photo's. I hope the deck can be fixed soon.

Thank you sir, I figured members like photos, no matter what it is lol. Same here, I've had that deck at a local Pioneer authorize repair shop for over 2 weeks now, I don't know if that is good or bad though.

No, didn't use paypal. I used Money Orders. But I did take/save photos of them, don't have the reciepts any more.. But have all communications saved. I hope that should be enough, I also have all of his contact information.

[shizzzon 461]

[16K 159]

[mccleery3 166]

Hope things get worked out lil bro.

Just got off the phone with the tech's who are working on my Pioneer, and there IS something indeed wrong with my unit, more than just the pre outs as well. So, good news as far as troubleshooting goes, bad news as far as still no music. Also, will be getting doors done soon, so stay tune!

unfortunately no, I purchased this unit via Ebay, and the current store I purchased it through is no longer up. I've emailed the seller, but i think once the store becomes deactivated, then maybe the account in its entirety is closed down, which in result, no contact information. I'm really glad that I have finally singled out the source(no pun intended) of my problems before this build begins to get any larger.

Also, spoke with an dectective today in regards to my police report. Lady doesn't seem confindent in getting my money back, which is really unfortunate.. Thats 950$ freaking dollars gone! Another victim also contacted me though, I hope he follows through with his report. Theres one other victim as well that I'm aware of, hopefully we can make a large enough noise for it to become a federal fraud.

For the authorized pioneer shop, they required a 45$ deposit, and that will go towards the final cost now that they have found an issue with it. They also mentioned that the tech has been in contact with Pioneer to try and further troublshoot my unit. I wonder what kind of damage did I cause? Only negative harm that I have done to my awareness is hot swapping the RCAs.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Hope it is a cheap fix.

[swift 501]

You are a patient man. I would have chalked that one off two weeks ago. lol

[Sencheezy 689]

So I'm pretty impatient, and patient at the same time. Realizing how long I may be without my DVD player, I hit up my buddy Craig and took a look at what he has available for me off his List. Heres what I found for 50$

I don't use CDs anymore lol, so I was like But with the help of a little I found an adapter that plugs into the rear and allows RCA input, so I ordered that of course. Debating on ordering a single din kit for it or not, depends on how cheap I can get it. But yeah, after class tonight, I'm for sure installing it. The guy I bought it from was pretty jelly that I figured out how to get my ipod on it, one of the reasons he sold it

Not a bad unit from the looks of it. 3 4v outputs, it even has a fan in it! Never seen that before lol. Also, it has many EQing built it, so shouldn't be a bad temp
