well the status finally chnaged to In Transit for my sub yesterday and has a scheduled delivery date of the 20th :)

as for the amp i'm still waiting for the email with the tracking info etc but that should be any day this week

so on monday or tuesday i'll have pics of the sub all hooked up.. and video also on either day

it'll only be powered by my 250/1 since i won't have the SAZ-2000D yet and still dont have my batteries anyways.. but it'll still knock haha :wacky:

as for the amp rack.. i started it and cut out the wood but ran into some problems... i snapped my bit (for wood drilling) when i tried drilling through metal :Doh: .. sooo that's on hold until i actually get the amp and some metal drilling bits... ++ some carpet

well i'm never buying anything stinger again. i just relized how much they really over price their stuff.

pointless to say but i just need to say it. haha get it out.

i was just browsing knukonceptz.com and they're whats up (ordering many things from them very soon).. i knew i should've went with them before.. and really realized it when i actually saw some knukonceptz wiring in person.. but didn't feel like waiting for it.. so i picked up stinger stuff locally.. :Doh: lol oh welllll

anyways.. got the tracking stuff today for the amp.. should have it next tuesday unless something happens

but look foward to videos and stuff on monday/tuesday ;)

You probably just got ripped off by your local dealer, not by stinger.

Check this guys page out and see if you can't find any better deals. You absolutely can not beat his customer service.

Darvex

He sells the same stuff on ebay and has a 99.9% positive rating with over 50,000 transactions.

I've bought from Knu before and I like darvex way better. I'm surprised he's not on this page with a discount code for all SSA forum members.

nah i don't think i got ripped off. i double checked the prices and everything online. i even got the 10ft strand of 0g for cheaper.. i know stinger marks up their stuff a lot. haha the guy there even admitted to it.

i checked out darvex and there are some pretty good deals but i think i'm still gunna go with knukonceptz. if i change my mind it'll definately be from them to darvex so thanks ;)

oh yea had a little red light contest lol.. on my way back home earlier i stopped at a red light and some dude was bumpin his shit... haha put on a bass heavy song -- Thug by Slim Thug (a song that starts off with no bass then just comes in and slams!) haha he broke his kneck when the bass hit looking at me.. then leaned back in the seat in between the drivers side window and backseat window so i couldn't see him :coolugh:

trust me i want to.. but i'd rather be safe than sorry i guess idk...

plus i thought it'll put out 2000 no matter where the gain is? it's just matching the gain to the HU's gains or whatever.. something like that

correct me if i'm misunderstood please

i have a day off tomorrow,, so lemme know ;)

Its there to match gain you are correct. Just hook a DMM up at the amp and turn it up and watch the voltage. Just set it so voltage stays above 12 with consistent bass.

yeah I seen it, looks great for it just to be the jl audio 250/1. I wanna put my 2000D in also but Im a little skeptical on it, even though MemphisMzd said put it in and watch the voltage (maybe in august if batteries still havent been bough then I will just install it and be real cautious with it)
