ok gotcha! You have a ton of stuff on your plate!!

single SA 12D4

LMAO!

Any word on my order? An how many left? Still 10?

I was speaking in reguards of the other woofers based off this design jacob clearly stated an sq model etc.

Not problem, but my goal is the same as the Ops, just trying to get more ideas.

That is a solid unit. So you personally would go active obviously, so can you at least throw out some ideas of budgest mids, pro audio drivers, an tweets?

this is going to be the best 8 ever good shit Dont say stuff like that lol because its going to make jacob go above an beyond as he always does!! Any idea on rms yet? I cant wait to see the actual product.

M5 awsome response to my last post. So let me ask you this What would you suggest for Midbass drivers, Pro Audio drivers, Horns, Tweets, Crossovers, the only issue is this You have an open ended budget, your goal is LOUD Vocals, and the cheapest route possible, but still obviously obtaining the goal. As well as listing what you would go with on the $350 tops budget product wise. I know the budget is kind of two sided, but feel free to have fun with it, links would be awsome as well, this may help the OP an myself.

Awsome dude congrats!

I knew that motor looked MASSIVE!

I want one for my 2005 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer!!!!

I would get the 2500, it gives you the head room, and if you set the gain properly along with knowing your limits on the volume knob you should be fine. Those subs will handle more then 800rms fairly easy, when FI first came out I ran the SSd12s with 1000watts each problem free for 10 months before upgrading. With the 1500 he will be prone to cranking the gain and volume up do to not getting the desired output and when that happens its game over for the subs due to CLIPPING! With the 2500 he can keep the power clean and thats the name of the game when over powering a woofer.

because you havnt had it very loud doesnt mean your not clipping the signal! Further more the fact that you cant find the gain leads me to believe you have no clue what the amp is set at, which in turn means the gain could very well be maxed out and with that being said it wont take much of the volume being turned up for it to clip the signal and result in heating your woofer up, lastly the fact that you said the dust cap was warm, means your sub is heating up for a reason.

That looks great! Love the image of it, what is the motor diameter?

Ok thank you sir, go ahead and update your 13 to 10 ( jeremy, you have sent $345.00 USD to SoundSolutionsAudio money sent for 3) I figured these would make GREAT CHRISTMAS presents for my FRONT STAGE LMAO! I have to talk to a buddy tonight an see if he wants one also awsome deal Denim!

Contact Nathan on here he would be the best bet to get all the desired information you want. You have the right idea though, from reading it seems to be a voltage regulator you can adjust the voltage up or down by 0.1 per touch of the button.

Thats a nice collection of links already jacob!

That makes perfect sense, so let me ask this, if you already had 2 comp sets in your vehicle and you were looking for that loud vocal clarity like the OP is talking about, would you achieve that goal by adding the ID CD1s to your excisting front stage? How would it help or hurt what you currently have? What kind of options do you face with this setup? What if you kept the mid and crossover, deleted the tweeter from the comp set out of the picture and replaced them with the ID CD1s giving you the mid, crossover, and horn setup? Basically I want to cure the rather harsh scratchy sound I believe I get from the tweeters at higher volumes. M5 I like your informative response they are great. Let me ask you this as well if you were trying to produce (not personally, just spl related example 150db on music in the OPs application) the LOUD vocals with clarity for lets say $350 tops what would you suggest?

Impious and M5 have given a great description here on understanding sound better in general, my questions is this if your looking for loud vocals nothing more (using a mid will obviously cover the mid bass) what would you suggest in like say a $200 max price range? power would be something like a sundown100.4 if size really is an issue 8inch or less really just trying to up the vocals an clarity of the over highs, mine currently are a bit scratchy at higher volumes. Currently I have looked into the Image Dynamics HLCD CD1 Mini cheapest I found them was $279 which is a little more then I wanted to spend, so I guess more so I would be looking for cheaper alternatives, if these will do the job without a doubt then I may just consider spending the money an getting these. Any more advice or better description of the SOLE purpose of the HLCDs would be great. From my brief understanding the horns will reproduce vocals with high clarity because of their design and they do also cover a wide freq range. The CD1-EMH cost wise at $189.95, but I dont know how well they stack up against the normal CD1 by the description they sound good, but I dont want to throw $189.95 out the window either, any expert help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I understand that aspect, but what if the sub reads fine with the dmm pushed into the terminals, but you push on it and there is a short. I guess its harder to explain then show, but the tensil lead could be loose, multiple things, but it sounds like a short which is changed the imp causing the amp to protect.

How many left?

Not for me its 12:42pm right now in lovely Iraq Jacob any idea when we will see an actual built woofer of these pics?

this is true, but how else really can you tell if there is a short in the vc?

I heard if he gave a blood sample it would glow, and that his blood type was "energy drink"
