  1. I wonder when head units will come with memory already installed, just transfer music from device to h/u. No more c.d.'s, mp3 players, auxillary cords or flash drives sticking out.

      I meant a headunit as you suggested could be made with internal memory and it wouldn't need a harddrive like Sean was saying.

      Chrysler has been doing it for years now, 30 gig hard drives for just that purpose. I would assume that it could happen sooner than later because of the fact that solid state hard drives and large format thumb drives are dropping in price substantially.

  2. Sold the Icon, looking for a pair of 12"d to go with my US Acoustics Mike.

      I just can't get them to cut what I want to spec. the manager told me only within a 1/4". Most don't come that close!

  11. trying to decide between a Sundown SAX-125.4 or Zed Audio Draconia, price not being an issue.

  13. This little PPI P900.4 is a powerhouse, thinking about trying a P1000.1 for sub duty as a temporary amp.

      altoncustomtech

      Definitely looks like a great amp, especially if it lives up to the previous generations. I had to go with something small and class D like the Zapco's or the PPI cuz there's no room in the Traverse. The US Acoustics is way too big. I may get one for a future build tho.

    3. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      Yeah the dimensions are holding me back but the price tag is drawing my interest. Hopefully US Acoustics is back, always wanted one of their amps.

      I'm thinking about 2 p600.2's for my front stage

      The first cd I bought from them years ago was good. Havent received the new one yet. Not only is it a bass cd has different features that help competition such as bass racing, hz sweep among other things. Pretty good investment

      The power series, there is audiable whine when ran in 4 channel but not 2 channel.

    4. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      Well thats excellent news because I went with the Prime Series, R600-4D. I didnt want to shell any big money for a class d till I got my Zed so I went with a lower series. Thanks for the info because I was looking at that Power series one as well.

      The time is messed up for me no matter what browser I'm using. Guessing that's a site issue ATM. Dunno about the quoting though.

      I tried quoting with IE v8.0 on my laptop without any issues. Not real sure what's going on in your case.

      Yeah im looking at the PPI now but also wondering if I should save up for better quality. 6-7" Mids: Beyma Pro6WND, 18 Sound 6nd430. 8" Mids: Beyma 8G40, B&C 8NDL51 or Ciare 8.50ndw.

    3. Fi 4 life

      Fi 4 life

      I had my eye on the 6nd430 before I found some sb acoustics. I've seen reviews of people either LOVING them (the 6nd430s) or not at all.

    4. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      I guess it comes down to listening preferences as I prefer more sub bass than midbass.

      SB Acoustics SB29RDNC-C000-4 tweeters, should be here tomorrow. Will take pictured upon their arrival.

  23. American Bass XFL or an Obsidian OAv.3 for a temp. sub setup. Anybody on here use both of them and willing to add any input, would be greatly appreciated.

      If it is only temporary, I'd probably go for what is cheaper. Or has the lowest margin for loss on resale.

    3. jcarter1885

      jcarter1885

      Price is the same for both.

  24. Im guessing somebody told there friends from other boards about SSA and bandpass 4th order enclosures. Because every recent, horrible thread is just about that. Haha, i think its hilarious.

      Aaron Clinton

      4th orders are popular now as they have a stronger peak, but tend to have poorer frequency response, so in todays market where SQ is less of a focus...

    3. pmureika

      pmureika

      They want spl from cheaper subs. But sound good to.

    4. Jay-C76

      Jay-C76

      It's a fad....

      they want to be loud. Like Aaron said it comprises sq. They just don't understand it requires a ton of wasted space.
