My New Baby!!

[PHATBOi 38]

Picked this up today from Steve at AmpMedics. Traded the previous owner my Skar Sk85.4 and paid Steve the $220 repair bill. Had a full ovehaul. Changed fets, drive board, and power supply! Having Robin at BHE build me a set of double stack Fi Q motors into 12's with PSI Soft parts next month to run on this bad boy. Can' wait!

 

 

And my Q motors. (Yes I know one has cooling option and one don't. Both NDMstang65 and David from PSI have given the OK to run them as a pair.)

[Truconcept 58]

sweet!

[PHATBOi 38]

Thank you. Think this is the most excited I've ever been about a build!

[PHATBOi 38]

Will be picking up a Zed made US Acoustics USX2080 soon that will eventually be pulling tweeter duty, but will run my whole front stage for now as I gave up my 4 channel in partial trade for the GP3K. Would love to find either a matching USX or GP 4 channel for my mids.

thats a great amp you have it will last for ever its defiantly a keeper.

[Randal Johnson 544]

Nice looking Amplifier

[PHATBOi 38]

Thank you gentlement! It will definitely be a keeper! Had a Crescendo 3KWP last year I lost to the pawn shop during some rough times. This amp has replaced that one and healed the wound, lol. I won't be letting it go anytime soon.

Yes. First one arrived with a loose cap. Resoldered it and it still didn't work. Ebay seller sent a new one out with an RMA for the old. New one works great. Great seller..

[PHATBOi 38]

Well, as usuall, pending bills have dictated that my budget be cut on this build. New euqipment list will include:

Current:
Kenwood KDC-X696
1- Audiopipe APMB6DC Mid per door
1- DB Drive P5TW 8D Tweet per door
US Acoustics USX2080 on tweets @ 2 x 4 ohms (~80 rms x 2)
Crunch GP3000D-PRO @ .66 ohms daily (~3K rms) with dual inputs
55ah Powerware batt

Soon:
Audiopipe AQX360.4 @ 2 x 8 ohms (~180 rms x 2)
3 VVME RD-10's
4.35^3 @ 31Hz (same box rebaffled for 3 10's)
3 more 55ah Powerwares
25 more feet Bullz 1/0
PAC LC-1

Traded the 2 Q motors for the 3 BNIB VVME RD-10's. Just not gonna have the cash to order the recones, baskets, pay to have them built, and get all the other stuff I need. So, I traded off for a drop in ready replacement. Just have to rebaffle my box which won't be hard as I still have left over wood from the original build.

[ricksi30 923]

Wow shit, I would have bought the motors for more than those 10's are worth. Bad trade in my opinion, but if you're happy who am I to judge.

[eggyhustles 33]

U traded the motors for those shitty subs?

 

Terrible trade. 

[AXEHAMMER 16]

:facepalm:

[mlcantin 32]

When I saw the topic I thought you meant a child... I was proven wrong. Motor still looks good though

[PHATBOi 38]

Gotta love SSA, lol. No love for the budget equipment. If it doesn't cost an arm and a leg it can't possibly be any good.

 

Here is a vid from the last Crescendo show with three of those "shitty subs" on the same amp I have:

 

3 500 rms "shitty subs" takin a Crunch GP3000D-PRO at .66 all day. I'm very happy with the trade.

[Shogen 325]

nice Phatty!!!! I like it

[PHATBOi 38]

PAC LC-1:

Clean Slate:

US Acoustics USX2080 randomly let out the magic smoke while I was working on the box. Car off, stereo playing reasonably low, just a pop then smoke. Fuse was fine. Bro-in-law brings this out and says I can have for $20 if ir works. Old school Japanese SQ FTMFW!:

It's playing.

Only have 2 of the batts wired up till I get my 25ft of 1/0 and bag of terminals in. Not seein below 12.5 full tilt with just the 2.

Sounds damn good and digs LOW. I can't bottom them out on Slow Death In A Hurse (Slowed) at full tilt. Can't wait till they break in!!

Oh, and I only have the amps 2 inputs hooked up (barely had the 1/0 to reach them) till I get the wire in and can run the dual inputs.

It is not about costing alot or being "any good", it's about trading Fi for vvme

I was afraid of clicking because I thought it might be baby pictures
