    why dont you go ported?

    3 reasons basically:

    1. I've always wanted to try a moderate sized sealed setup
    2. Out of all my setups in this truck I've enjoyed my two sealed se15's the most. (I've had two dd1508's ported, an hdc318 ported, an rlp18 ported, and a FI q15 ported in this truck, the sealed se15's were the most fun, if I can get that sound only louder I'll be happy)
    3. I can always go ported later if I decide to. Unfortunately to do so I'd have to go above the window line and since this is my daily driver I'm just not ready to do that yet.

    Luckily I have plenty of space, its just the surface area firing up thats limiting me. That said I won't have to resort to glassing, which is good because I would fail :lol:

    I'm leaning towards option 1 as that would only be two planes the woofers would be firing from...option 2 puts the woofers on 3 different planes. Not sure that matters for cancellation, and not even sure if I'll ever know unless I build/test.

    Picked up 4 havoc 15's for my ext cab f150. Problem I have is my max width in the back is 58.5" and I want to fire up so I can't do a straight baffle and have enough surface area. I need to do an angled baffle and have come up with two ideas but wanted to throw it out to see if anybody had a preference between the two or maybe other suggestions. Max dimensions are roughly 25h x 23.5d x 58.5 long

    These will be sealed:

    UPS just showed up and dropped off 4 of these beauties :rockwoot:

    Picked these up for a decent sized sealed setup. There is a bassrace show coming up on the 19th so hopefully I'll have some numbers on them soon. Will be running them off of an american bass 500.1 at .5

    Really can't wait to watch some movies in the truck with these guys :)

    also, good call on the expanding foam. I might try that.

    My 2000 s10 had the roof rattle from the roof skin hitting the brace/support in the middle. A little bit of minimal expanding foam between the brace and roof skin along the whole brace then deadening it made a huge difference.

    Can't wait to play with my 21...should be a fun setup :)

    No idea what the problem is, but hopefully it gets worked out for you. I think this is the first I've heard of an aq2200 letting the magic smoke out. I ran an aq2200 for a short bit with no problems and the dood I sold it too isn't having any issues.

    I know after repairs, amps are usually bench tested, maybe they should be bench testing this one in a strapped config before shipping it out so they know that in your scenario it should work.

    If a torroid was shorted out before shipping though, you'd think a bench test woulda caught that.

    Oh well, hopefully it works for you this time around man.

    Its all about budget, if you have the money to go new Sundown, you will probably get a better product. If your on a budget the AQ will still get you there. I dug my AQ2200. With Db-r's refurbs in the picture though its pretty much a no brainer if your on a budget. You can get a quality amp at a great price with a 1-yr warranty from the guy that fixes them. Its not like your working through a 3rd party to get an amp fixed like other refurb dealers.

    That said I'm stuck between the AQ3500 and a sundown 3000 db-r refurb, hopefully the 3000's come back in stock soon at db-r.

    awww fudge.

    Yup, things happen when your in too much of a hurry. I was a little pissed when I was taking a smoke break and noticed my HO alt layin on the garage floor. While speeding around doing stuff my dumbass reinstalled my stock alt instead of the new one, that pretty much set the tone for the day.

    Wish I coulda made it though...that was a loud setup :)

    just curious...i saw terminals on the box but I also see wiring coming out of the port in the installed pictures

    just wanted to make everything temporary?

    Things got thrown in the truck at 6am the day of a show so stuff just got slapped together as fast as possible. Unfortunately I still missed the show by a few hours :(

    2 1500 starpped :)

    we got one 1500 on an 18 DP barely moves the things!

    I've toyed with the idea of a sundown 3000, which I'll most likely do.

    Box I'm thinking middle of the road, 8.5 cubes at 34hz. Will be for daily, but lookin to do the best I can for the occasional bassrace comp here.

    i'll be adding coil options very soon. If you don't see them, you can allways simple state in the form at the end of the order which you would like.

    And yes, we welcome the business!

    Right on, I like to try different stuff and while this is pricey, its definately different and will hopefully be fun :slayer:

    Do we order these through SSA or directly through you? Noticed in the SSA store it didn't have coil options, I'm assuming dual 2's will be available on the 4th?

    Lookin for info on the q18, you guys recommend 4 to 8 cubes for the 18 sealed. With ~1kw each would 5 cubes each be acceptable? I'm looking for them to carry into the upper range a little more so I'm thinking a smaller box would fit that. Toying with the idea of doing 3 of them sealed in my ext cab truck on a saz3000 for a bassrace/daily ground pounding application.

    I'm currently running an hdc318 on 2200w and it gets downright loud and I like the upper end response as well as the lows it gets, just looking to try something different. Always wanted to try a large sealed application that got loud both bottom and top end, just not sure if the q18 will do it, which is why I was thinking of trying a smaller box as even in a small box cone area should get me the lows.

    Any thoughts/suggestions?

    Also is there anything in the ascendant line that would be close to the power range and fit the bill as more of a "loud" woofer and less of a bottom end woofer in a sealed config?
