    SAZ 2000d to come after 5k?

    Do you really NEED that extra little bit. I thought I needed 2 Fi Q's (or something along those lines) with at least 2000 watts to be happy. I have one on a 1500D and it's WAY too loud to run at full tilt daily. Unless you're chasing tenth's you'll be fine with the 1500 which is underrated anyway.

    Seriously dude, just do home audio until you get a car.

    My Future Set-up (I Hope)

    You'd want a dual 2 sub with that Sundown amp.

    GOOD 6x8's

    Those cars are easy to put speakers in, I would know I've had several. You can actually reuse the plastic mount and make a 6x8 > 6.5 adapter to mount right on to it. You could then make it a little tougher with maybe some modeling clay or something. Another option would be to build new spacers to replace the factory plastic if you have the tools and skills.

    Very pissed, just got power back

    Don't most of the surge protectors have equipment guarantees, though I imagine they'd find ways out of it.

    My Magnum

    Thanks for the comments. I competed for the first time yesterday at a local area db drag. Dominated Street A mini (and could have taken Street A too). Highest score was a 140.8 and my last run for the final was a 140.6, peak at 38hz I used the song Late Night Tip for all my runs, and didn't have anyone holding the hatch or the doors tight which I should have. I probably could have broke 141.

  8. I have a cheap Lanzar block with volt gauge and it auto shut off. Call Knu and see what they say.

    shopping for audio for a party bus.

    Knukonceptz 100ft 12ga is $50 Partsexpress is very reasonable on shipping I think. I've never ordered anything really huge and heavy, but my shipping is usually around $12ish to MN

    shopping for audio for a party bus.

    I don't seem them being as useful as a big vented box. From what I've heard passive radiator's aren't a great choice for vehicles because of the whole constantly moving thing, that's great if it worked in a pickup but I think you're better off using the space you have for a conventional sub.

    I don't think you're gonna get much cheaper ampage than these: http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...?idCategory=125 If it was me I'd do some MJ18's which i've heard actually go pretty high fairly well, and then either a bunch of decent 6.5 coax's or some 2 way set up with some of the dayton driver's mentioned already, otherwise some pro drivers with horn tweets.

    Scooter

    ....Maybe it should be fuel powered

    Scooter

    That wouldn't have an alternator. I think what you're thinking of is the charger which is the ac/dc converter to plug it in. With lots of accessories I would be somewhat concerned about cutting into the runtime. Alternatively you could upgrade the drive batteries for more runtime and the extra power. The smaller Powermasters are pretty reasonably priced.....Or you could put a 16v so he can do burnouts.

    Amps run HOT!!

    I've had my two 100.2's in for a couple weeks and my 1500 I put in yesterday. My 100.2 on my mids gets the hottest, but nowhere near burning, the 100.2 on the tweets is overkill for me so it doesn't even get lukewarm, and the 1500d so far hasn't been hotter than the mid amp and I've been playing it fairly hard so far, thought it hasn't been for more than 30-40 minutes at once so far. edit- the 100.2's are the old heat sink and thr 1500 is the new heatsink

    Another opinion question

    Of course it's a canadian word... I've only seen about 2 episodes of TPB, I gotta watch more, I remember the ones I saw they were stealing grills and Bubbles ended up missing a Rush concert.

    Pretty sure thats the funniest word I've ever heard. edit...hmm swear filter
  18. I'm looking at getting a Deka 9A31 (actually the O'reilly branded one that's the same thing). For my Dodge Magnum. The Magnum has the battery in the rear and I do not have a suitable place to run a second battery so I want a battery I can run alone, no other starting battery. Will the 9A31 handle being a daily driver? I came across some truck/bus forum that mentioned that they did not have good luck with them. In addition to being the starting battery it will be running a pair of Sundown 100.2's and a Sundown 1500d and I have the factory 160 amp alternator. Will there be any foreseeable problems with this setup? (I live in Minnesota so the winters can get brutal). and if the single battery cannot handle the system I can make room for another smaller battery, but I want to stay semi-stealth. Going with a powermaster 3100 would be a possibility as well, but that costs more money of course.

    wanting film camera

    while $469 is out of my price range, it may also be a worthwhile investment, as i could use it for a long time and still get some great photos. and while i realize that its not about megapixels (necessarily), i definitely do not want to see pixelation (sp?)(even a word?) in my photos, as that is what i love about film. i have no experience with a digital SLR camera, so would that be an issue? Well, with 6.1 MP you'd probably notice pixelation...if you print at 20x30. If you don't want to print huge, 6.1 is plenty. You could also go with something like a used rebel xt from bh for $350. The 2 megapixel difference isn't really as big as it sounds, but it is a nice camera, I've had mine for like 3 years now I think. If you go film I'd recommend sticking to newer Canons (with EF lenses) or Nikon because they're the two most popular brands and then you can use your lenses on a digital down the road.
  22. Oh ya, also right here at the store, which only has Sundown amps right now... not that that's a bad thing
  23. I've ordered quite a bit from Woofers. I've had a couple times where they didn't update their site to show out of stock, but I've always gotten a phone call right away and they suggest substitutes if you want something right away.

    Connecting 2 1500d

    Stop what you're doing and thoroughly read the manual on how the BR terminals work before you wreck something. I'm pretty sure you're doing it wrong from what I'm reading.
