    Alright guys back again. So I’ve gotten a chance to use my Altima more now. And I just threw a larger amp fuse inline and it hasn’t blown since. I went from 200amps to 300. I know I know it’s frown upon. Lol sorry. Anywho my first impression was a negetive one. It sounded muddy and hollow. And really disappointing. I tweaked my amp a little, increased the lpf. Had it on 60hz I went up a few clicks. (The bass line maxes out at 250hz ) I tried to shoot for 100hz. I also turned the bass boost down and increased the frequency. I had it at 35hz and a few ticks upwards. So now it’s around 50hz and the boost is down to the minimal. ( not sure if it does any effect) anyways next day it sounded better. A little louder and deeper. I noticed with all 4 windows down it sucks inside the cab. It’s loud to my ear but can’t feel the bass. But with the back windows rolled up it’s crazy. I feel everything and it gets hella windy! Not sure how loud things are outside to the public. I didn’t have a chance to do a distance test. I will this week when I’m at work in an industrial park. But the more it plays the better it gets. Louder lower. Not so crazy on the high bass but maybe that’ll come in time. Compared to the evils....it’s loud in its own way. It’s lower but still loud. Unlike the zv5. The evils hit all the notes wonderfully. The teams hit the lows with authority but not so much on the higher bandwidth. I’m comparing it because I had the evils in the same box prior to moving them into my Jeep. And I was told the Box specs are similar. So I’ll give it more run time. Maybe it needs a good break in period. I don’t wanna build another box so soon especially since it’s suppose to be to specs. Other than it being substantially louder with the back windows down, I wish it would be like that windows up. I guess it needs to load or something. On the bright side it’s hella windy. I’m able to do a bottle trick! Just gotta find a song that holds that note longer to keep it a float more. I’ll be sure to get videos soon. I enjoy it but just wish upper bass had more oomph. Above all, it’s better than the 15” zv5 I once had.

    Ooh ok ok. That makes sense as to why you’d be placed in an advanced class.

    Singer Alternator Bad Customer Service

    I had an issue with an alternator not fitting. He threaded the wrong thread type so my factory bolt wouldn’t fit. It took a while to resolve it being how we communicated through email. So he’d respond every few days But you just gotta be patient. Long story short we tried different options and ultimately fixed the issue. So it’s A1 in my book. He has a business so of course he’s not gonna send me a replacement of the alternator. We trouble shooter it together and resolved it. May times I was frustrated because I had my alt sitting for quite some time. But like I said the communication wasn’t lightning fast, which should b understood. Plus the shipping times prolonged things as well. But over all I’m a happy customer

    Yea ford f150s have terrible y set seat space. Unless you run a smaller amp.

    Are circuit breakers reliable? I have one in my trunk maybe like 10inches away from my secondary battery. It’s inline with the power run coming from the front. Like I stated before it keeps tripping when the bass really hits. I guess drawing lots of power? I’ve used my system full tilt on songs that hit hard but just not as hard as others and everything was fine. I’ve read some where that some circuit breakers could be sensitive to the vibration or something. But it never tripped when I had my evils in along with the 10k. Now i I upgraded to the bassline 12k and I got dual inputs on the amp. And I ran dual wires to each. So total of 4 1/0 positives. Which is fused. At 200amps each. my Circuit breaker is rated at 200amps as well. I’m considering upping it to 250. I tried to search what is the recommended fuse rating between a front and rear battery but got nothing. I’m just trying to avoid pulling my subs out to take a look at my battery which is under the box. I know damn well everything was tight and secured. And heat shrunk before I put the sub box on ( wanting to not have to deal with it for a long time ) but then this happens. And it sucks cuz I can’t fully enjoy my team evils at he moment.

    Yes. Make sure you get the correct ohm load version for your application. The 10ks come in 1ohm and 2ohm. And also don’t place it on the sub box. These will die with excessive vibrations.

    200amps. It’s stays on on songs that ain’t hitting crazy. So idk. Everything was secured when I installed the new runs and what not.

    Team evil 12s

    These things hit the lows like crazy. But I noticed my circuit breaker that connects the front to the rear battery always trips when it’s really pounding. Never happened with my 10k before. I did swap the 1/0 run for a 2/0. So not sure what could be tripping it.

    Make sure you get it the hd line. The ones with the voltage meter are the newer ones. And make sure you take the proper precautions I’m sure you read online about how to handle Brazilian amps.
  17. ManzKea

    Team evil 12s

    Quick question. The bassline amps come with a bass boost feature. You can set the frequency from 35hz - 50hz I think. Should I use this, maybe even a little ? I’ve used the hd line which does not come with a bass boost. And even before when I had amps the cane with it, I never used em. Because it just seemed like a total waste and sure fire way to clip and break something. So wondering maybe the taramps built something worth while seeing how you can select the frequency.

    Team evil 12s

    Yea taramps are the real deal bro. Even 3ks got action. Don’t let the size fool ya, I brought one a few years back not thinking much of it. And when I saw it in person I was like ok cool. Itlll probably be a1200 watt amp or something. But I replaced a Soundqubed 1200.1 with it. And it made my subs go ham! Lol. These amps have some weight too it as well, it may not be as massive as Koreans of the same power but shoot it feels well built. And puts out power. Plus I love the built in fans. It lets me install it under the box and not have to worry bout heating issues

    Yea definitely. The ssa evils I got are hella loud off a taramps 10k. lol

    I really maxed out the dimensions so it’s a little gap on both sides as well as the top. I just used some old shirts rolled up stuffed on the sides. And on the top I used a pillow. Lol. I didn’t wanna foam it since I take my equipment out a lot and the fact that my fuses and amp is under the box, I wanted it removable

    I’ll keep this post updated as I get to mess with these a bit more. So stay tuned guys.

    So o got it fired up and did a quick test bump. Gains are turned up just a quarter, it hits that’s for sure. But idk exactly how I’m liking it. I’m not exactly blown away like I was with the evils, but then again. The amp is turned up as much as I’d really like. And I couldn’t really test it to see what works, ie windows down, one down all up , etc. because my neighbors were home. So it’s not much of a fair comparison. I also wanna give it some time to warm up. Seeing how stiff it is and the fact that I’ll b overpowering them. So after a few days. I’ll turn the gain up a bit.

    My box is firing forward. Sealed off from the trunk. It’s a rather large box and kinda awkward to maneuver by myself. I I had to mount the subs after I get the box in. Imthat right there is no fun task. It’s heavy, awkward and just such a bad angle to maneuver it In.
