I’ve been here but inactive for some time now getting back into the stereo scene. Last system was 4 alpine type r 12s 2 rf prime 1200.1d Amps 2 offbrand agm 74ah batteries along with a optima red top in my old srt8 charger. Now I have a second gen Durango and no longer am concerned with weight reduction I’m trying to put a small but good setup in and am leaning towards the Skar rp 1200.1 d due to the fact I was considering the rp1500.1d but it falls short on the dyno where the 1200.1d really shines and does well over rated power. Subs are undecided as of now was thinking power Acoustik gothic 12s massive audio gtx 12s or just going all Skar with either sdr’s Or svr’s.

I found ssa from the old realm of excursion forums... haven’t been on here since 2008 and actually jogged my memory that I had an acct here when I went to look for roe which I guess is just a distant memory now lol.

here is my most recent new addition... 50% mark down at walmart...... paid $300 for a touch screen pioneer avh-p5000dvd and it's a suprisingly good unit, far beyond walmart quality. next is 4 kicker cvr d2 12" at a final load of 1ohm on my saz 1500d in a 4-5' cu sealed box

ok, so i've got a saz1500d, i'm going to get a chevy impala 00-04, i gave the gf the type r 12"s i originally had in my lincoln towncar, i'm thinking single 15" for the next set-up so i can give it the box space it needs. would a single nightshade 15" w/1500 rms in an optimal vented and tuned enclosure put me in the mid to high 140's?

welcome to ssa. i had a 91 firebird about 4 or 5 years back, those and camaro's from that era are very high maintenance. i was replacing something every other week, then i decided to swap out the 5.0 tbi to a 5.7 tbi. then....after all the cleaning, rebuilding, and painting, the friggin wiring had unforeseen issues. i gave up and sold it. kinda miss the car, definitly not the hassle. lol!!!

i will be more than happy to submit my pics and vids........... as soon as i get a car worth posting up. as of now the lincoln towncar is parked w/ transmission or kickdown cable issues and is too expensive to drive anymore w/ gas prices. when tax refund time comes around and my 401k loan is paid off i'm getting either a lumina (aka, 4 door monte carlo) on 20"s, or a 2000-up impala. w/ taxes and about 2500 to borrow from my 401k i'll have a good 4k-4.5k to spend on a car, possibly a little more but i'm trying to get some new 12"s or a single 15" to run on my 1500d.

welcome to the sundown audio fam!!! i was just reading your post over at smd.com about weather or not to get the rf or the saz, glad to see you went w/ the 3000d. i have a friend that bought a 1k rf power amp (bought bnib in 2001, at the shop......rediculous mark-up nearing $1,000) and i bought my 1500d for $375 shipped (2 wks old, still bnib). he was very impressed w/ the output from my 2 type r 12"s in a small 1.49cu. ft. per chamber vented tuned to 36hz, and mad that he paid so much for his amp. he was also running 2 rf punch he2 12"s

i told him to order it before the end of june. he really liked the way it pushed my type r's. also when i bought my amp from chad (lilmaniac2 at roe.com) i didn't get the stickers that you send out normally with the amp. how much would you charge shipped to 62025 for the 2 stickers?

i really like the ideas of a saz 2000d and a sax 50.4!!!!!

similar to my electrical setup. 80 amp alt., 1000 ca up front, stinger sp1700 in trunk. my volts w/ 1ohm load drop from 14.5 to 12.8. i love this amp. so powerful and efficient.

subs now facing cabin. cam audio sux!!!!

i get around 13-15 mpg, but when i'm at work we gotta smoke outside so i usually sit in the car listening to some tunes.........car has to be on if i wanna start it when i go home...... so i should probably get 16-18 mpg. it has 174,xxx on it too!!!

i love it too but i'm ready to go back to chevy's. want a box caprice......but need a more efficient ride........ friggin 3.85 a gal. hurts bad!!!

beautiful cars!!!! you make me wanna get some wires for my 86.

yes. would like good hard pound but clean sound at the same time.

going in my 86 towncar. trying to use only the lower part of the trunk for box which measures 44"L 28"W........... as for depth i can go w/ 17" (would be flush w/ upper back part of my trunk, where the spare would go), or i can go up to 20"D. subs up and vent/port up. can be either single chamber 1 port (whatever side) or seperate chambered t ported. give me some ideas w/ design and tuning. thank you.

i've never been happier w/ an amp than i am w/ my saz 1500d!!!!!!!!!!!

if this is wrong section i'm sorry.......(mods move if needed.) JAjaOCz1KdM

the type r's are fine for me. they're no ssa icons but they do the job.

crappy cam audio and i'm not pushing the 1500d to its full potential (trying to keep volts above 12.5) believe me it sounds good in person.

well my gf bought a 96 grand am and for her b-day i'm going to do a small set-up. this set-up will include an alpine cde-9881 w/ipod interface cable, alpine mrp m450 mono amp, 4guage power/ground w/60amp inline fuse, swr1242d (type r 12"), and a 1.49 cu. ft. vented box. not bad for a first system, really not bad for a small set-up. i know w/ the type r i could go w/ a bigger amp but i'm working w/ what i have left over from old set-ups in my cars. the only things i had to get was the h.u. and the box. she doesn't need much considering my system gets turned down when she gets in my lincoln lol. do you guys think this will be a decent set-up?

is this guy still around??? i really want some sundown decals!!!!!

i have to agree that 600 is a lot for an amp........but.......the saz 1500d is well worth the price tag!!!!!! if you search the various car audio forums you can usually find them used (lightly) or even get lucky like me and find a bnib for anywhere from 325-400....... mine was 375 and worth every last penny and then some!!! anyways, i'm getting ready to do a "small set-up" in my gf's 96 grand am. this set-up will include an alpine cde-9881 w/ ipod interface cable, alpine mrp m450 mono amp, 4guage power/ground w/ 60amp in-line fuse, alpine swr1242d (type r 12"), and a 1.49 cu.ft. vented box. not my idea of audio bliss, but she will be happy w/ it when i'm done. my advice to you would be to take the time to do some research on audio equipment that sparks your interest, look for the best price, and sometimes "trial and error" is the best way to learn. good luck on your system.

hey i'm interested in the bottom 2 decals. (the sundown audio w/ female) and sundown audio (top to bottom style). pm me paypal info so we can do business. my refs. for me buying are at realmofexcursion.com and they are lilmaniac2 and connersdad19.

hey i just joined up here, joined about 1 week ago at caraudio-forum.com, and been a member at roe.com for about a year. my system (which i will put in my sig.) is an Alpine cda9856, 30g ipod, 2 alpine type r d4 12"s in a 1.49cu. ft. per chamber vented enclosure, knukoncepts 1/0 power/ground wire and sundown audio saz 1500d @ 1ohm. after i get it hooked up an see how my voltage does i will be purchasing a trunk battery as well. the only electrical upgrades i have are 80 amp alt. (stock 65amp) and a duralast gold 1000ca (stock 650ca) battery under the hood. this is all in a black on black w/ chrome trim 1986 lincoln towncar sig. series.
