My Grand Am is just fine nooblar. Shut ur damn mouth or Ill smash in the accord's windows. Hell, I can run faster then that thing!

Devastating, I wanted that proto!

If I were to guess, I would say it is the SAX-250.2 Proto. Looks about the size of a 1500, has 90 amps worth of fuses and smaller power connectors... Would I be correct Jake?

Also Jake, how about something in the lower price range that just does 1500 @ 2ohms. Would open you up to a fair amount more people.

Well guys, after getting haggled so bad at the last FX comp, I decided I needed to do something different for this comp. A 140 is not sufficient for 2 12's and 2 1500D's. I had 3 issues I needed to fix... 1. I was running a single run of 4 ga for 2 1500D's...Obviously a HUGE bottleneck on the amps. Now have a run of 1/0 per 1500D. 2. I had a prefab box which we tossed in the Cavi trunk to hold us out for the day...chit box, will have a newly designed box for this one, maybe a version of "CRX style". 3. For some reason the final load on the subs last time was 3.5 ohms (dual 2 subs). We didnt have time to check it, so we put it in a let it go. Discovered that one of the subs coil connectors was loose, now have a nice 2.1ohm load betweent the two. So we have fixed our issues and are not doing the build. Oh, forgot to mention it is going into a new car for this comp. I am not gonna reveal what kind yet, but it should be good. Anyways, I will post some pics of the old cavi setup for you guys. Oh, and this time we will be running capless...Cap was dumb!

I would like to get this sub reconed to 10" for SPL only. It is rated at 600 watts rms but I have burped it at over 5k no issues. Dual 2 woofer. What kinda options do I have as far as recone goes? Got some pics here:

That doesn't sound right, considering the production SAE-1000D is rated down to 1 ohm, and Jacob even said the prototype has been tested to 1 ohm. Sorry for the confusion, by 1/2 Ohm I meant .5 Ohm.

Yep, that prototype does roughly the same power as the current SAE-1000D. Just to drive it home... the production SAE-1500D *will* meet power ratings no problem This is a prototype and improvements are being made as we speak. Yeah, I hear ya. Just curious, what's the difference between the SAZ-1500D and the upcoming SAE-1500D? Is the SAE class A/B? I think it is just more of an extry level. Will put out 1500Watts rather then underrated. It likely will not be able to handle 1/2 ohm either.

Jake, you still have mine correct?

I have a pair of them. They are not blown as of yet but they are not long for this world. Trying to get my options in line.

Anyone answer my questions? Has customer service gone down already? I gave up on my emails after no responce for 3 months on my previous questions...

ttt, scott?

Can it be reconed toa SPL 10", do I have any options for increased power handling, what is the cost gonna be like?

I was told it was a US built sub with stardard US sizes.

Since you only have 4 gauge wire I wouldn't go higher than a 100 amp fuse. You really need 1/0 wire, at which point you would use a 150 amp fuse. You can run the 1500D @ 1 ohm with a 105 amp alternator, sure, but how well depends on how you treat the volume knob. The 1500D can draw over 160 amps at full output, this WILL drop your voltage to battery level or less. So, if you are calling for the amplifier to produce it's full output on a consistent basis, then no, it won't work very well for you. If you can't upgrade the alternator now... at least get the biggest starter battery that you can cram under the hood. I fit one almost twice as bit as stock under the hood in my Civic! As a reference, I have a 105 Amp alt, red top under hood and big 3 and the 1500D at 1 ohm is just fine. Dims the lights if I pound it hard, but no real issues.

Pair of Sundown 3k's if you know what you are doing.

They are going to say they HIGHLY dont recommend it as I have asked that question already. I would look at the SAE-1000D, if you are looking to go cheaper, a PB ASA-1000.1D would be decent as well.

DO you have the electrical for a Sundown amp at .5ohms? Would be right around the power range you would be looking for.

A used mag would be prime for sealed!

I will do that from now on...You have an email BTW.

Damn you Jake, why didnt you say that you had a TC-3k... I just ordered a PB-3XL and have a second one coming soon. (I kinda got to see what they are like, but still!!!) DEATH TO THE WEBSITE!!!!! I Jake!

Is SSA the exclusive online dealer?

I always poke at mike for driving a honda. But, it is really out of jelousy, not being mean. I love Honda's and I am stuck with a domestic...

Mike, start with one under the hood and a big-3, In Kyles, the car took well to a Gen 34 red-top under the hood as a start...Then the big 3.
