  1. Custom Cherryman box, 1.6 ft3, tuned at 34, wired at 1ohm I'm deciding between a new IA10.1 for $390 or a gently used SAZ 1500D V3 for $360. I know the SAZ is under rated but I cand find any bench test results on the IA10.1. Im imagine the 300 RMS between the two amps cannot be heard by the human ear. Would there be any difference in SQ between the 2 amps?
  2. I haven't built a system since 2009. I had 2 Fi BTL 15's in a pound that sound box, powered by a SAZ 3000D. Well, my kid is becoming a bass head and is wanting to build a system in his car. I suggested him helping me build one in my car first so that he can learn more about it and see what he really wants before spending his money. I'm planning on putting an SSA ICON 10 with an SAE 1000D or maybe a 1500D , all in the trunk of my 2017 Mustang GT. Im going more for sound quality than SPL this time around. My car came with the sync and navigation package. I want to keep my dashboard stock but obviously don't have any RCA outs on the stock navigation/radio unit. It was suggested that I wire one of these from the rear factory speaker wires in my trunk. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_161LC2IB/AudioControl-LC2iB-Black.html evidently you can run your amps switched power blue wire to this box as well. My question is, am I giving up SQ by wiring a system like this, vs having a head unit with dedicated RCA outs? What other negatives are there when using this converter off the rear speaker signals? thanks

    Charging a powermaster

    Can you use a regular Sears 12v battery charger to charge the D3100. My charger has a 2volt and 6volt setting

    HiXmCoil

    What is the Xmax with this option? I only see the 28mm on their website and I assume this is without this option.

    HiXmCoil

    I actually just found it on their website: Need incredible Xmax to feed your 160dB at 20Hz obsession? Add our extended length coils (28mm of Xmax). With over dozens of different option combinations to choose from, we can build the exact sub you need to fuel your SPL fire.

    Sold on Sundown now

    My 1st hair-trick with my 8 year old daughter. She's already a bass-head. She's always asking me to crank it. Unfortunately, all she wants to listen to is Soulja-boy

    Thanks to the Sundown folks for answering all my stupid "rookie" install questions. This was my first install and I did everything but build the box. My emails were all answered within 20 minutes or less. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Those Nightshades are going to rip my little CRV apart. Here is the finished product. (Well almost. I haven't gotten the 100.4 hooked up yet)

    Plz check my wiring

    I have a pair of bolts for each sub. I guess another way to do it would be to go from a + and - on the amp to the + and - on the left sub. Then from the other + and - on the amp to the + and - on the right sub. Then wire the empty + and - on the left sub together and do the same for the right sub. Does that make sense?

    1 Saz-3000D 2 Nightshades 15 D1 Wired for 1ohm All 8 gauge with a + and - Bolt in the box From 1+ terminal on amp to + bolt From 1- terminal on amp to - bolt 1+ wire from inside bolt to + on left sub another + wire from inside bolt to + on right sub 1- wire from inside bold to - on left sub another - wire from inside bolt to - on right sub Left sub: + to - right sub: + to - It looks just like the diagram but I'm a little OCD and feel the need to triple check everything

    Plz check my wiring

    Yea, I'm just using 1+ and 1- from the amp What I'm talking about is: do I run 2+ wires from the +bolt inside the box (1 to each sub+) and 2- wires from the -bolt inside the box (1 to each sub-) ?

    Plz check my wiring

    I was just making sure that running 2 positive wires and 2 negative wires from the inside of the respective bolts was the best way to do it.

    SAE-1200D Remote & remote wire

    I bought the 3000 and 100.4 and The onlyl things wrapped up in the bubble wrap were the remote and remote wire. Are you talking about mounting screws for the amp or for the remote?
  22. What % can an enclosure be off on recomended net cubes. I thought I remembered reading 10% somewhere. It's a daily driver.

    D seriew post

    What size threads are the post holes for the D-series batteries. Also, how deep are they? Mine won't be for about a week so I'm unable to just measure. I'm looking for ways to hook up three 1/0 gauge power wires.
