  1. We are going to let Mark and Aaron archive our vendor section within the next several days as we will no longer be a vendor here.

     

    Nothing is and has not changed with our business with SPL-Lab or with any other company we are distributing this year either.

     

    We are making a change and wanted to let the public know before any speculations arise about why we just vanished, lol.

     

    Again, nothing is changing or changed.  We just won't have a section here much longer.

     

    All Group Buy Taramp's orders are still being processed by the way and is still on schedule for end of March.

     

     


  2. i own the 8s.. to me, they sound awesome for high powered installs, except for the following-

     

    the 8s are rated for 200wrms.

     

    I run ~400-500wrms per driver crossed around 300Hz to 3.5KHz.

     

    Around 3KHz, they start resonating because of the cone material.

     

    The cone needs to be mass loaded when using this much power.

     

    Easy fix is to not use that much power.. 

     

     

    Using these drivers is purely a custom tuning scenario.

     

    I would NOT suggest EVER replacing your current woofers\mids with ANY pro audio driver in a passive x-over config.

     

    Pro audio drivers need pure active processing.


  3. We are working on our new Distribution site which will have several brands of Car Audio and will launch it sometime soon for all to enjoy.

    We will be setting the mark to be the first to start manufacturing and distributing certain products along with how our pricing structure is controlled for the customer.

    1st Point-

    We are working with another company in South America who knows a thing or two about Taramp's.. They are manufacturing us some protection devices SPECIFICALLY for Taramp's low voltage protection.

    They are set at a solid 10.8v for low voltage and 15.0v for high voltage(not changeable but can be bypassed temporarily when using HD amps)

    There protection device has a 3 stage protection system which cuts off system immediately when a trigger is hit or a delayed shut down if repeated triggers are hit within a certain time period.

    2nd Point-

    SPL-Lab has just finished R&D-ing a new product to be announced soon. I will tell you it is a new low cost(under $80) protection system that has features and convenience that has NO current competition to it! Video, pics, specs, features will all be released soon.

    3rd Point-

    Our new distribution site for car audio will offer a new Incentive Payment System that will allow customers to purchase products (those that qualify that do not violate MAP) LOWER than other companies.

    We try to always keep cost down as low as possible and we have found a way to eliminate certain costs to us that allows us to lower cost to customer.

    4th Point-

    Another update to Android is coming soon that will offer support for potentially more Android devices and RTA Support! the First portable RTA system of it's kind.

    When we have the go ahead to share more information, we will post it here!


  4. Most Korean and Chinese amp's THD power ratings are done at 1%.

     

    Tenacious is right about typical efficiency ratings at 1ohm.

     

    If you want high efficiency and low THD rated output, you need Full Bridge Rectification like Taramp's and not Half Bridge like what most products are on the market.

     

     

    But. the REAL question is why are you limiting your search for products to such unrealistic values?


  5. junk already blew the 6.5s on not that much power, I guess you can only run them off a hu

     

    I guess i must be a genius then...

     

    I run 500w per 8" driver of the pro audio series and they are only rated for 200wrms.

     

    IF you do not know how to handle the power you have, then failure will occur.


  6. Well, with as broad of a question as this, i'm assuming you know nothing about troubleshooting so i'll go down the list of things to check.

     

    1st, Is their subs in your vehicle?

    Do you have at least 1 battery in the car?

    Does the car start up everyday?

    Do you have speaker wire going to the subs?

    Is the wire connected to the box?

    Push down on your subs evenly and listen to rubbing, is it rubbing metal anywhere?

    Pull the subs out and see if they are connected to the subs still

    Do you have an amp?

    Does the wire go to the amp?

    Does the amp come on?

    Is the protection light on the amp?

    Is the fuse(s) blown on the amp or on the power wire?

    Does your head unit work?

    is there rcas going into the amp?

    If so, unplug them with stereo off and plug up another source to your amp like a cell phone and see if that works.

     

     

    Once you go through al that, then we can begin troubleshooting.


  7. No.  We do not like to announce anything prior to marketing if we feel the idea(s) can be duplicated by other engineers.

     

    We do not even know our price yet(our exact price) because we are still R&Ding it.  Therefore, we do not know the US pricing either.

     

    We have to make sure the cost equals or exceeds the benefits of the product.

     

    What i can tell you is this as a spoiler.. 

    This isn't JUST a voltmeter like you would get from Stinger.

     

    It is small and mountable like any voltmeter..  I should know more by ~mid March


  8.  

    Keep an eye on SPL-Lab innovation.

     

    We are working on something that is flashable smile.png

    Stay Tuned!

    When, what price, what colors?

     

     

    When- 1-2months

    Price- Unknown, still R&Ding features and future potential

    Colors- Black.  LED color- R&D currently


  9. Ok, i'm going to word this as easy as i can as it's very easy the way it's laid out already, i'm going to attempt to "dumb it down".

     

    Take ALL 8 subs and series them INDEPENDENTLY

     

    Now you have 8 single 8 ohm subs.

     

    Now, take each sub and series them ALL together down the line.. 

     

    When you are done doing that, you will have 4 16 ohm subs left.

     

    Now, take the remaining 4 subs' pos and neg and parallel them all together.

     

    This will drop it down to 4 ohms.

    Each pair of 16 ohm wires in parallel is 8 ohms.  The final paralleling of 2 8ohm wires is 4ohms.

     

     

    Attempt to keep speaker wire during this entire wire configuration at the exact length for all subs as possible.


  10. I hear there is possible issues outside of their control that is restricting their business potential.

     

    I am only feeling like this info is more and more true with continued problems getting through to them.

     

    Do not worry about all "online" companies having these issues.

     

    Some of us have large business networks where contact info is streamlined throughout all partners.


  11. Not to offend anyone here but the Ethos is pretty damn good price to performance..  Seriously.

     

    When people are still looking for even better price to performance, at some point, people need to take a step back and ask at what point can the US start innovating again?

    We have the man-power and intelligence to do anything and new companies should focus on making a name for themselves if they so choose to do so.

     

    This topic is made to go both ways but i strongly urge the audience of this market to literally drop the fad of the cheapest part possible as long as it functions and start bringing in new products that excel expectations at a cost DSS has to offer.
