j.p.

if your still looking for an amp, I just looked at US AMPs and they have an AX2000 that is a 2 channel amp that can be bridged at 4 ohms for 2000 wrms. I just need to save up the money for the beast (tax return?), I'm getting the alternator now. Just ask flakko about the US amps.

well since that is at 20 hz and w/ it sealed it hardly moves at all, literaly at anything above 25 hz and if it can take it I'm gonna give it. Plus w/ my research on this driver from the demo ring, it looks as though this driver comes alive w/ 1200+ power so why not do the next cheapest power gain, add another A3000DB for 300 bucks off the net? its not like anything else thats like $1000+ which I'll do later for better SQ. About the box not being built up, I think I'm about to redo it anyway, maybe not right away but in the near future w/... okay a double baffle wouldn't be a bad idea but better glue and better interchangable port design. It turned out to be the best box so far but for the driver I've already found some flaws. Man I cant wait to put some power to this beast ( refined beast that is )

To answer the first question she's almost a wisper compared to my 2 ts-w3004spl's but oh so sweet. I think that will change w/ my second amp to strap. Oh and no I didn't know about the tuning w/ a wedge, so what can I do to figure that out or do I just have to stay clear of the back of the enclosure. if you didn't notice this box is designed w/ an interchangable port and in the first picture of it in my car it does have the "sealed" plate in, I just put together the 45hz port so I can see what it sounds like, I think I'm gonna try about a 16-24 sq inch port tuned to like 25-30 hz w/ an L bend in it for more fequent use but I think I'll keep it sealed most of the time if I'm saticfied w/ the sound off of more power, which I think I will be The box is at about 3 1/2 cubes w/ driver and brace I estimate.

well I was gonna wait till I got my second power acousik A3000DB so I can tell you how it sounds w/ some real power but I'm getting antsy an wanna show off. So w/o further adou... box in the making another bracing heres the speaker hole and hole for interchangable port and final assembly And for the grand finally! here is a 4"x8" port tuned to 45hz to see what this can do off of the little bit of power however now one of the hurrican nuts came loose from the back and got stuck but I just fixed that today and now w/ some liquid nails holding them in place I'm hoping it will work. but now I have to make a new port since I kinda broke this one trying to get it off BTW here's what you've all been waiting for some excursion porn!!! http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/Sou...ter/rls12.5.wmv

I just heard someone mention that they wanted to strap a couple of orions on a forum, if you can or not I'm not sure of but then I'll just have to strap some mtx's or memphis amps then. Maybe I could go for the jbl BPX2200.1 so I could get the power at 4 ohms I was saying a little more quality amp for a quality driver. I was just using those as an example of the power needed.

My rl-s is finally installed and I love it!!! I cant wait to get some real power to this beast. Thanks again Mike!!!

Yeah, I finally got my rl-s and even with my A3000db its barely enough to get it moving even though I know it doesn't do its 1100 rms at 4 ohms like its rated at but I would think 800-900 would be reasonable... nope. My electrical system is suffering too, I need to upgrade alot more then I thought so this sub will get the power it deserves. I can imagine the taunting thats going on in my trunk kuz my amp is much more of a puss then I thought. that being said a 500/1 wouldn't even tickle this sub, some serious wattege is need. strapped A3000db's? Oh yeah, till I can afford to strap some Orion2500D's or something along thoughs lines.
