So yesterday I recieved the 250 amp Singer alt and installed it right away. Was easier than I expected, wow I used to get some light dimming with 500 rms on my d2700 but just got my Crescendo BC2000D wired up to one ohm and another small highs amp and have no dimming at all even cranked at idle. One thing I was surprised is that going from 100rms each sub to around 1000 each sub barely gained any output, just made the bass hit a lot tighter. The subs sound amazing now though. Alt installed with new shorter belt Also my dad got a new truck this weekend.

Only issue I've had with mine is the Bluetooth doesn't go through the amps which sucks but its weird cuts one time it will work then if I take off negative terminal it all of a sudden won't work again. Probably just some setting but haven't figured it out yet

Thanks man it shouldn't be too much longer. I ordered a Kenwood 996 a few days ago, it should be here fairly soon. I sold both of my amps and will be deciding on the replacements soon. My car is gutted and I hate when I have to drive it haha. Ya I hate driving with no bass or good speakers! I like the nice Kenwood decks! I'm running a kdc bt948u and love it, lots of options/ settings and fairly easy to navigate controls.

That's awesome! ya when they called and complained about dishes rattling it just made me smile I'll just have to be even more respectful but in the past I never crank it close to houses and latest in past has never been after 8. Just put my new alt and new amp in so I just wanted to check if it was wired right.

Ya Ive seen that! sucks but I hope you end up getting it all together soon! I haven't researched comps much around me up in BC but there is usually a couple each year. Did you end up getting a new head unit yet Rick?

Ya I guess its gonna have to be like that from now on. Unfortunately. Gotta find some comps for next ur to go to so I can meter.

Got my first noise complaint from my neighbors for playing for less than 2 minutes to check my wiring at 830 at night only. Said their dishes were rattling. I live on 13 frickin acres on the very edge of town fully treed. Same neihbours who called cops on me when I rode my sport quad in my backyard. Wouldn't be so bad but now got in a huge argument with my parents and Dk what I'm gonna do now!

10/10 for me as well SSA has amazing customer service and great products, love my 2 15" Icons, even on only 100 watts each they are nuts! Placed 3 different orders in last 2.5 months and i've been extremely happy with everything so far, and don't expect that to change. Thanks Mark and Aaron.

For that power adding 0 guage to the big 3 would be a good idea as well

On the IA site in tech it has them and its the same as the 187.

Sound quality was very good too! Got low but still had good punch.

I personally had a incriminator I 10" in a custom box 1.25 cubic feet tuned to 32-33hz with around 16-square inches of port. It was very impressive on about 400 watts. Was loud but got nice and low. I beat on it for about 2 months hard then switched it out for 2 15" SSA icons. (Will be putting it in my Lil SIS's car. Also got a set of 12" sundown e series I'm installing for a friend so I'll get to try them out. For the money the I 10" sounds as good as subs twice as loud. Had a good 1/2"-1" roof flex in my Dakota from the one 10"

Make sure to clean up. K?

So I figured out what was wrong with the subs. Was just my memory on wiring. Using the terminals I forgot if I had the coils horizontal or vertical so it was all screwed up so I took it apart and wired it all back up to 4 ohms on my little kicker kx550.3 and wow. Sounds amazing and moves a lot of air. Will post a quick video if I can tomorrow and then another one once I get my new amp tomorrow and get the alternator and the xp3000

Dang shit just got real love that box, maybe someday mine will look almost that good. If this turns out really good I might have to wall off my truck. Love your work man

Where do you eat out? That's the price of 2 beers and a tip, not meals. That's why I limit my going out to the bar. Too expensive,! Rather spend it on subs, amps or speakers!

So I'm doing a build in my 2003 Dodge Dakota crew cab of 2 15" icons and would like to reinforce my roof. I'm getting 3/4-1" flex on one 10" incriminator I series and also headliner slap and it drives me crazy. I have a bulk pack of dynomat extreme I got for like 20 bucks. Would 3/8" MDF with kerfs And lots of pl then dynomat between headliner and wood be good? Just want to cut down roof flex and stop headliner flex. Any suggestions? I would rather not have to order stuff if possible as I'm tearing truck apart this weekend and shipping is slow Thanks

I'd agree with this but when an item is $20.00 or so more from SSA then don't eat out for 2 meals and you've paid for it. The customer service Aaron and Mark give and just caring about what they sell is worth more to me than saving 20 bucks. Where else can you ask a question after hours and receive a response in less than an hour? I just placed an order for a new XS Xp3000 and while I could save a few bucks somewhere else I ordered from SSA because of the customer service and the time they invest in this forum helping out customers like you and me. problem is when people take all the info and the time they volunteer then buy from someone else to save five bucks. Thanks guys

Ya I decided to just do basic deadening and try it. Put up a layer of dynomat and then camper foam between headliner and roof. Helped a TON! Still have flex of course but the roof doesn't pop and sound like tin. And headliner doesn't have much audible slap hardly at all even with 2 15" icons. I know it could be a lot better but was amazed how much just what I did helped.

One of my d1 SSA icons is not hitting near as hard as the other. I have them wired to 4 ohms. I followed 12volt wiring diagram for it. I tried swapping wires on one sub to change phase but it didn't really do anything, maybe helped a bit. Its been like this since I hooked them up. Any ideas?

The bottom one is closer to the port. There's no weird noises and it is loud just worries me how one is moving more.

Box is ported. The bottom sub is the one moving more. Its a slot port facing up with port on right side. Its in a dodge Dakota crew cab. Build log has pictures.

Ya that's kinda my plan. I'd rather not raise it though as the port is already about 7 inches away from roof. I'd also lose all visibility out the back. As for upgrading, I hate to think about it but ya if I upgrade I'd ad another crescendo bc2000 and wall the back adding another 2 15" icons, I'm thinking this will last hopefully for more than three months though. At 19 I gotta start planning my future now, just wanted a sweet sound system first. Gotta also fix my 1993 300zx TT and 88 rx7.

Ya gotta figure out where to mount it but got a few ideas. Also ordered a couple sundown e12s to put in a friends car. my truck is very violent tho. Will make a video after I get the alt in, right now I can only hammer on it for like 30 seconds before I gotta turn it down cuts of voltage. Also swapped in my eclipse 36401 amp and bridged it to run my hertz hsks. Got rid of the buzzing
