Right now im running 3 sa12's on a saz 3500. my box currently is 5.26cubes @ 31hz with 81.25 in2 of port, with subs firing forward, port up drivers side. The box i tried before this was subs forward, 2 6" aeros firing up @ 36hz. I liked the box with the aeros but wouldn't play the lows i wanted it to (but found out later after 2nd box my ssf needed to be turned down, so im not truly sure if it would play the lows i wanted it to or not. So my question is, is there anyone with experience with trucks like these, and what should i do next? i would like to reuse my 6" a…

    i will be redoing my install in a few months and wanted to know if maybe i can color match the amps with the color of the car... not really gonna be going to shows just a personal preference, i think the amps would look sick painted... new set up will be 2 15 ns, 2 1500s, and a 100.4, the box is getting built by pete which we havent worked on the details yet but he stated that we might go the horn route... i have a good bit of room to work with, enclosure space to work with is 16 high, 42 wide, and 30 deep... also i have a ohio gen 180/225 alt and getting a d3100 to replace my 2 dekas ( which i plan on selling).

I also have heard it will have 1 rating only 600 rms @ 4ohm which would be killer in USACI but whats the truth to this? Im tired of getting the run around or answer-its a beast when i ask. my customers are really curious too and keep asking if i have heard anything.....so please JACOB straig…

  16. Started by KoolDrew,

    My girlfriend eventually wants a system in her vehicle. Nothing really loud or anything, just a bit more bass then stock and inexpensive. I showed her the E8 and she thought a small sub was "cute" and wants one. The small box would leave space in the trunk as well. I plan on building the box for her, but I must be retarded. The recommendations for the box are 0.60 ft^3 tuned to 30 Hz ported. I've been messing around with the calculator on RE's site and can't figure out how I would tune it that low in such a small box. The only way I was able to do it is if I make the port only 0.5" wide, which sounds way too skinny for me. Any help?

    I have been holding out opening this to make sure they won't take as long to make this time. The good news is they didn't as our special rectifiers are now in stock at our factory and production finishes next week. So this puts delivery time about 4-5 weeks from now. As of now I still have quite a few to go around but that could change at any time as I have had inquiries about some LARGE builds with these amps. $1500 pre-order price shipped in continental USA AK or HI add $100 for SH ($1600 total) USA ONLY.

    Was hoping I could use the stock frame and I was able to do so! Just had to adapt it a bit... one of our spider bolt down rings worked perfectly for the job. This woofer has 3 Hard Nightshade spiders, a Z v.2 prototype D2 coil (tight gap so NS coil would not fit), and a light weight cone similar to the Z v.1 but with a wide roll surround. Once the dust cap glue dries I'll measure specs on it to see what we got * Steel spider ring glued into place (glue under, around, and below the ring) * Overview of the ring -- also changed original basket screws to a higher grade metal with allen heads. * Gluing bottom triple joint * Lining it up and getting ready to solder the lea…

    Well finally I have my Sundown SAZ 3000D hooked up in the Blazer. 1 Fi BTL 15 Dual Mag in a small but perfect box tuned to 35hz 1red yop and 1yellow top Optima batteries Question is How do I test my amp? What are the various ways I might find out the output? Watts? Amperes? Don't I need a special clamp meter? Any suggetions on what kinds and maybe some links. How do I set the gains on my amp correct? I've done it by ear so that nothing is distorting and everything is real clear. But isn't there a better way? Thanks for ANY HELP in advance! ~Joe

    Just a quick question. I am on a quest trying to create a small enclosure for my small Jetta trunk and still have usable space. Slot port enclosures take up a lot of room that a standard Aero Port doesn't. Would a single 4" Aero Port tuned to the right length, be enough for two SA-10s in a reccommended specification enclosure powered by a SAX-1200D?

    Built a box for a guy, he put a little sub in it on a Sundown SAX 100.2 bridged at 4 ohms and took a couple videos for me. I figured I'd share them. I've said it before, the 100.2, while being the smallest current offering, is my favorite amp. A single DD 1008 on a 100.2 bridged at 4 ohms. Tuned low, especially for an 8, but still managed to do a 132.9 on music out of a trunk, and the back seats don't fold down.
