  1. Wondering on average how much true amperage the bc3500d draws at 1-ohm. I've heard everything from its 300 amp fuse load to half the fuse rating to one third operationally. Electrical wise I am currently running a 275 amp singer alternator with a yellow top under the hood and one xp3000 in the trunk. Voltage ranges from 13.5-13.8 on a clean signal and drops as low as 13.2 once I start clipping which I know consumes power and produces excess heat. The alt does around 200 amps or so at idle. My question is what if anything beyond my current electrical would be recommended for this upgrade. Thank you in advance for any information. Phil

    What would be the best mid bass I could get for the ft1 "supertweeters"? I was thinking of going 8" but I dont think the ft1's would pair up with an 8" so maybe selenium 6"?

    Anyone having a lot of trouble getting through to anyone? I place and order 2 and a half months ago and still havent received anything, tracking number says nothing about items being shipped. Tried calling numerous times and sent so many emails, still nothing. Its become an absolute joke I've paid almost $1000 and dont have any of my items, any help would be great. Tried emailing : international@crescendo, sales@crescendo, they were quick to reply when I needed to know postage but now its impossible to get anything from them.

  5. I'm trying to get a hold of someone at Crescendo to replace the faulty bass knob I received with my 3500D purchased here on SSA a year or so ago. I've sent multiple emails and left multiple voice mails with no response, so I figured perhaps a post here might get their attention. Also, if anyone has working alternate contact info for them that would be very helpful as well.

    Does anyone have any info pertaining to crescendo's backorder? I know people have been waiting several months to get their equipment with no ETA on when they will receive it (including myself). I've been checking the website and the SSA site to get updates and it seems that every time there's been an ETA date posted, it just gets pushed back another month after the date is reached.. I heard crescendo is having some issues in-house... this has me worried, as I have spent over 1k on equipment I haven't received yet. Any info on this would be great, if anyone knows anything. Thanks in advance.
