  1. All right guys, let's ante up, I included some extra on my paypal to cover the fees and cover anyone else who could only swing the actual amount :gift: , but if you got it, share a little :hay: , we are stealing these things as it is. Mike has gone out of his way to bring us this deal, the least we can do is insure none of the costs are coming out of his pocket. Mike I am assuming you pay the same 3% as I do for collecting from paypal, if it is more, PM and I will send a little more your way, otherwise, i sent enought to cover a couple fees for ya :D


  2. Come on, I want to hear the elaboration and a good review on these mighty sexy beasts :rolleyes: They look really sweet, I am digging the power supplies, looks like quite some reserve built in for headroom.


  3. I think the VR you have pictured is the 1st gen, not that that is a bad thing at all, but mine has the body shape of the NEXT and I got the box right here telling me it is a VR2 150. I think the prices are so low because it is old stock, but I got a thang for old school amps (still have my first punch 150 I bought new in 1987, an adcom 4402 same generation, and like tyrefryer, I am a huge fan of the PPI Art series). I will post pics of my amp in a little while to test out the DSL that is getting hooked this morning at the new place. Send me the price list I want in :hyper:


  4. I am currently running a VRx on a Focal 3 way seperates and it sounds awesome. Great depth, very revealing (too revealing on poorly recorded material), excellent damping and control. Sound like a reviewer huh? I had a Mcintosh running MB Quarts prior and sounded quite nice as well though. Am getting ready to try Sinfoni (another Italian amp maker) but it will take alot to make me dump my Mcintosh loyalty. My VRx is 110 watts by 2, my Mac is 100 by 2, and the Sinfoni I am looking at is 90 by 2, I have a standard cab truck so I only run a front stage and don't need huge power to get plenty loud.


  5. Eclipse got my vote. Used Kenwood way back in the day, switched to Alpine in the 90's and switched to Eclipse 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Denim, fill me in on how the BL driver sounds and is it worth putting in. My Audison has balanced line inputs and they make a driver as well, but don't know if the difference in sound is worth paying the price. :wacko:


  6. My kudo's go out to Mrray (Kent) tonight, got my new box and it is as solid as me LOL...but seriously the craftmanship is top notch. I just joined up on this forum to get in the group buy for the RL-P 12, came across Mrray and sent the dimensions of the area in my truck for a box and voila, I have a box that looks like a factory piece. I am moving to my new house this weekend but will post some pics as soon as I get some time to play again. Thanks a million Kent. :wub::gift:


  7. Hey guys,

    Long time lurker, new to register. I am replacing my :lame: prefab and am looking for some help coming up with a good design for my standard cab 2004 GMC Sierra daily driver. Sub will be SoundSplinter 12 with dual 2 ohm VC's , amp is old school RF Power 800 A2 and space I have available is 33-36 long, 14 high, and 9 deep at the bottom 5 deep at the top. I am not looking to be the loudest in the jungle, just want clear, deep foundation for SQ system and any excess SPL would be bonus :slayer: . I haven't checked out the photo gallery yet, am on my way there now, but this is my work truck that is 5 months old and has 27,000 on the o'meter, plain and simple rules. I give all my thanks for any input.


  8. Thanks for the nice welcome :hay: A little about my setup:

    HU:

    Eclipse 5442 (will be the new 8445 in the next couple weeks)

    Amps:

    Audison VRX 150 (Black Chrome) :finger:

    Rockford Power 800 A2

    Front Stage:

    Focal Polyglass 6/4/tweet

    Sub:

    Phoenix Gold TI 12D

    Vehicle: 2004 GMC Sierra Z71 Standard cab

    I have been planning a upgrade on my sub a while and have been checking out RE, Adire, DDrive, and of course SS, but with the space I have available the SS seems to be the clear choice IMHO and the group buy was enough to suck me in to team SS and give them a whirl. That and I have heard nothing but good about Mike, so I think will endow him with my buisness at this point.


  9. Hey guys,

    Finally got me to register instead of lurking in the shadows. Been into Car Audio since the late 80's and truthfully I joined up to get in on the special order 2 ohm deal as this sub will integrate right into my truck quite nice.
