    Sent Don an e-mail 9 days ago, and a follow-up 4 days ago, no reply to either. When I ordered CLD tiles for my last vehicle, I had a reply within a day. The product was superb, along with the service. I have limited time to complete my build before things get crazy again, but I can't start until I get some deadening. I really want to go with SDS again because of my great experience with the product last time. Cash in hand, ready to play!

    Edit: Just read the post about his overwhelming amount of e-mails, that makes sense. Hope he can make it all work out, hes got a fantastic product!

    Edit2: Don pulls through with the great service I expected! thanx.gif

    Have a couple SAZ-4500D heading my way. Playing around with my options. My BTL18 is quite happy on two SAZ-1500D, I wonder what would happen if I threw two 4500D at it? I plan on building a box tuned real low (~27Hz), tired of chasing numbers, want something that drops looooow.

    Do you guys take this into account (from the JL box building page):

    The effective length of the port is found by adding an end correction factor. An end correction factor is necesary because more often than not, one wall of the port is also one wall of the enclosure and this wall extends beyond the end of the port thus effectively adding length to the port (remember, the driver can't "see" the length of the port, it can only go by what it "feels" is going on).

    Calculating end factor may sound like it would be more trouble than it's worth, but it's actually quite simple. To calculate end correction factor, simply add one-half of h to the physical length you calculated above (L1 + L2).

    I take this as meaning I subtract half of the port width from the length.

    For example, my calculations calls for a 16.5 x 6.15 x 26.25" long port in order to tune to 33Hz. Does the physical port in the box then become 26.25 - 3.07= 23.18 inches long?

    How do most HUs hold up under high voltage, say 16V?

    I'm guessing your wanting to run your amps and a separate battery bank on 16v? You planning on running a second alternator dedicated to audio?

    Well, I have a project I'm working on. Using a car HU and some spare 6x9 Infinity Reference Series speakers that I have lying around to build a portable radio. Is it compact/light/best idea ever? Probably not, but I like tinkering with and building things, so its a fun little project. For power, I'm using a 12-cell Ni-MH pack. Each cell is supposed to be about 1.2V, but fully charged, the pack sits around 16.8V. It drops to 16V under a 1A load in about 1-2 min.

    Hey guys. I just picked up a new RE SX 15. Its going to be powered by a Sundown 1500D in a '08 Scion xB. I need help designing the box though. RE calls for 3 cu ft minimum, 4 cu ft optimal, and I would like to tune for 32Hz, sub firing up. The sub displaces 0.18 cu ft. The dimensions I have to build the box are 38.5"x18.5"x19". The pictures below should help to visualize. :)

    If there is too much space there, I'd like to cut a couple inches off the height, and then if still too much room, a couple off the width (18.5").

    Help needed! :)

    Hook a multimeter capable of measuring AC voltage to the RCA outs on the deck and play a -0dB sinewave. Turn the volume up until the meter reads 6V, and remember the volume number on the deck. Don't turn the deck up past that in the future.
