i did a price match with SonicElectronix they have there kicker pdk1 kits for $120 and i found it on another site for $85 and they price matched it..i just ordered 2 more kits for $170 with the coupon code..im not sure if it still works but i tryed adding a kit to cart and put in the code and the item went down to $85 so give it a try if you need some..heres the code lp17021k

yes its shipped for $85

for a full size truck i think you need a minimum of 300sq ft..ant the owner of second skin told me to start around 360sqft that should be enough to do 2 layers all over the truck..

ya im using boston acoustics pro 60 models http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=1078

i have a denali and im using 200sq ft of damp pro and 160 sq ft of damp regular..im doubling up on the roof and the back cabin and doing single layers on the 4 doors..

lol noob..i love that word..i should get it on my plates..lol

you are going to use a ho alt right? because your stock alt will chit it self when it has to deal with your factory battery plus another 3-4 batteries on top of that..

looks great man..

those death row subs sound really nice man..

sweet..

thas a huge bytch...lol what kind of power you sending its way?

no it wasnt it was listed for $7,499 i got them down to $6,999 and they threw in a free stand that sells for $800 so i got about a $1,300 discount... honestly i can kick it up to $1500 for home theater..i just never been into home audio so im hoping i can get something decent with that budget..

no problem..but that is a great score for 1 sub and stock alt man..good going..you must have had a really great box designed for it..

well it wont hurt you..stock alt with that amp and 2 batteries to work with is tough work..throw on a 200-300amp alt and im sure you will hear a difference..

nice numbers man..

opps nevermind..i was going to ask if you only do rears..but i saw you said 2 pairs..how do like those alpines btw?

hey guys i know this is a spl sub, but alot of you folks do use them for daily drivers..how do you like them? i really want to try a few but im worried that they wont sound right..and by that i mean im comming listening to w7's for 6 years..and i know after that many years on 1 sub your ears get accustomed to them..so are the btl's something i listen to all kinds of music like rap and rock daily and still enjoy or am i barking up the wrong tree and should maybe look at bl's? also i have a side question, say you have a 12'' spl sub and a 18'' of the same spl sub, would the 12 sound better and be tighter cause its smaller or no truth to that?

lol. I looked into building a Zen amplifer a while back and I was looking at below 10% efficiency! What would be a guesstimate for tube amp efficiency? I never really though about it? The theoretical maximum for a true Class A1 amp (tube or solid state for that matter) is 25%...I haven't put a clamp meter on the monoblocks yet but I'd be surprised if they were above 20%. Push/pull amps are significantly more efficient. Something like a Dynaco ST70 actually runs pretty cool, while I wouldn't suggest touching the tubes in use the transformers don't get anywhere near as hot as in a SET, for example Actually, some of the most efficient amps in the world are Class C amps that may use tubes, the problem is that without specifically tuned circuits they're prone to all sorts of distortion and nasty harmonics, and such can be only used for very narrow bandwidth applications...mostly RF transmission. jim, when i read your answers to peoples questions, i feel like your a god among men

autotek is a no because thats 2000 watts and again 2k is too much, the us amps is also a 2k watt amp again too much, the 2 choices id go with are sundown 1500 watt the kicker does 1500 watts BUT at 2ohms so no go there he rockford is a very good amp has well..so basically down to sundown and rockford..i left out ia not because i dont think they are good but sounding like you have a budget ia amp do cost and for the money i dont think much at all beats sun down

ia makes a great amp, but id have to go with the sun down for the price,quality, and customer support its damn hard to beat

problems like wat when that man tells you not to send that much power to a sub he is very involved in you better take his advice..there are many things that can happen to your sub to keep it from playing..

update** about 5-6 hours ago i got a email item was shipped and now i just got a email with my tracking number..so far so good..

go with kinetik and go to this site http://www.millionbuy.com and type in kinetik they are having a HUGE sale with instant rebates on those batteries..for $200 you can get a much stronger battery then you can from woofersetc

great info here guys thanx alot..

you answered the question for me..so basically 20% of the amps power is waisted due to heat and your only getting 80% of its power to your subs?
