    Everything was working fine last night. This morning i turn on the car and i can hear static coming from the woofer. I figured it was the subwoofer coil rubbing or something. Well i try 2 other subwoofers and i get the same result. Everything seems to work fine except there's static that kind of sounds like rubbing styrofoam together. I tried everything to rule out other components and still the same result. Strangely enough the amp works fine apart from that. So i have no clue what to do now. Do i just send it in to get repaired or what? I never thought i'd have any problems with it. Any help would be appreciated.

    I finally got the amp installed and I have to say I am VERY happy with it. It is clean and crisp. I am rinning 4 infinity kappa 6.5 2 way speakers. I got the shipping conformaton on my saz100d so it will go in next week. I just wanted to drop a line and to say this thing rocks. Anyone wanting to step up their system but dont want to go real big this thing is perfect. It was way louder than I expected. Good job Jacob.

    All specs measured after a short break-in period. Specs will vary slightly from unit to unit and with further break-in, as with any subwoofer, but these specs are accurate enough to model up your enclosures. 12" Model D1 Coils: Qts = 0.40 Qms = 6.83 Qes = 0.43 Fs = 43 Hz VAS = 11.7 L Le = 1.4 mH (series) Re = 1.59 ohms (series) BL = 17.6 N/A 12" Model D2 Coils: Qts = 0.44 Qms = 9.36 Qes = 0.46 Fs = 41 Hz VAS = 11.7 L Le = 3.0 mH (series) Re = 2.92 ohms (series) BL = 22.8 N/A 15" Model D1 Coils: Qts = 0.48 Qms = 9.33 Qes = 0.51 Fs = 40 Hz Vas = 36.7 L Le = 1.36 (series) Re = 1.44 ohms (series) BL = 15.27 N/A 15" Model D2 Coils: Qts = 0.44 Qms = 8.64 Qes = 0.47 Fs = 38 …

    Hooked up my 100.4 today to SEA excel mids and morel supremo tweeters. Gain was set at half, headunit (pioneer 9800) volume was 42/60, and 12 db slope, and it blew them in one minute. Now the speakers are rated at 220 watts. It is a 6 ohm speaker but i was told it would run just as good with this amp and actually be easier on the amp. I checked the speakers after they blew with others and and i still got power from the amp. Any ideas?

    I have an 01 firebird and Im looking into getting a ported box built for a single SA-8 D4. There is a space in the driver side trunk area where the factory cd changer used to be, im hoping to use this space. I will not be competing in anything, just want it to sound good for daily use. What size should the enclosure be, port length and what should it be tuned to for everyday use. If there is any other info I need to know before bringing it to the builder, Im all ears. Thanks,
