Product Reviews

Here are a few I found so far: http://www.audiogearreviews.com/reviews/amplifiers/review-ZED-Audio-Leviathan.asp zed-audio-amplifier-review-pas.pdf

There is a lot of good info on here, but not much in the way of actual results. So here is the products that I have ran Dynamat Original, Dynamat extreme, Edead, Fatmat, Fatmat Xtreame, Fatmat Rattle trap XXX, Zilla mat, B-Quite, hushmat, and now Second Skin. Dynamat original is good but you have to it to get it to stick, but once in place it is good to go. I would not use this on roofs, or trunk lids, or doors, just on you floors. No mess at all with this stuff. Dynamat Extreme works great can be installed any temp sticks great. This stuff can be messy while installing, and will cut you up pretty good since the metal backing is so thin. Edead do not recommend this stuff …

Well, I think I have ample time into this sub now, and I've been promising this review, so here it goes. First off, car and other equipment. Car is a Dodge Neon ES, headunit is a Sony GT330, front speakers are Powerbass 2xl-6.5's powered off the h/u, the sub is powered off of a Kicker KX400.1 at 2 ohm in 2.0 net sealed. Crossed at 90 hertz @ 12db per octave (only to help the coax's until I can amp them). Some quick pics: The most important part, the box: The cone and dustcap of the moofer: Height comparison next to a Pepsi 2 liter bottle: Coil venting, which I was not expecting on an entry level driver: Ass shot: The mini review: First thing I noticed listening to th…

well i got the awesome stuff intalled and i must say.. wow what a difference it made. the sound my woofer produces sounds much more whole now and not as empy or tinny as it was before.. installation waas a breeze(specially with the free roller and knife thatthey included) stuff went on real nicely with no signs of wanting to come undone.. i used the free doorpack i recieved to do my back hatch and partial of my roof. i noticed quite a bit of difference in sound. i look forward to finishing my car in the product

Brand: Apline Model: CDA-9887 Rating: I would give it a 5 out of 5 Pros: Ok, so I just go my new head unit put in and it has 10 times better sound output then my last deck a Clarion VRX755 (which is a DVD/CD player). I think some of it might be going from 2 volt preouts to 4 volt preouts. But, I figured that wouldn't matter since I was running (and still am running) a line driver. Cons: The only thing I see being a con is if you are not sure how panoramic and graphic EQ’s work it could be a problem, along with setting the time delay by ear. But they take care of that if you have the mic for the sound imprint feature. Other then that I would say there is no problems wi…

I recently had 2 Mayhem !5's put in a cut through in a my 2004 Dodge Ram. The box is tuned to 32htz. I power it off a Clif Designs 4800.1 and it hits harder and lower than anything I have ever heard (in a truck). Ascendant Audio is in my opinion the best, if the ultimate a street basser can get. Most people cant handle the sound in my truck. The shop that did the install told me that they have received several calls from "people" advising them to turn it down when in town. I have not been able to get them to distort under any bass and I pound them at all times. Its nothing but thumbs up for me, I'm sold.

Well as one of the winners of the Second Skin giveaway contest, and one of the closest recipients of it, I got my kit this week on Thursday. Considering Ant had to send it twice beacuse of UPS fuckin up and sending it to him instead of me, thats pretty damn quick!!! Anyways on to the review I got the box on friday and opened it up to find these extra goodies (not in a modeling position though) I started by popping the panel off my 2006 Xterra and well its a bitch. There are 3 screws holding it in and ALL of them are hidden throught the arm rest/door handel. This is what I discovered These pics showing more detail to the screw holes After ripping it off this is wha…

I already posted this, but it will just disappear into the oblivion in the Fi forum, and people will actually use it hear. Old info... new post... Just made a topic so you don't have to scroll through pages to find it... Ok first things first. The test was done in my car with my equipment (in signature). The box is 4.2 cubic feet net tuned to 34 hz with 57.25 in^2 of port area. Subs: 15" Havoc and 15" Q with BP option (both have embedded tinsels) Yummy pics: Here are TermLab results... Outlaw style (at the kick, both windows open) Q: Havoc: Legal (sealed up at the dash) Q: Havoc: Listening experience: To tell you the truth, unless you are a freaking machine, I dou…

Incredible describes it. Something happened (unknown) to my sub, most likely something thermal, and it broke. I sent it in a after an extremely polite and helpful call to Scott. The basket broke on the way there somehow even though the sub was shipped in a box with a wooden frame built in it (stupid USPS). He didn't even charge me for that. He completely rebuilt the sub for free... Under warranty. He told me this by actually calling me. No other company has done that for me before. Anyone who complains about the service of this company is ignorant and has obviously not dealt with them before. Incredible company in every area. 500% satisfied. I normally don't write reviews…

Hi guys/gals!! I know I'm still new here, but I have been around the forums for a while. Hopefully some of you recognize me. Anywho, I won these comps over on DIY and so far I am happy enough with them that I wanted to share! I'll just save myself some typing and copy and paste what I have written over on DIY for now, but I will update this thread as needed. Thanks for putting up with this guys and I hopw some of you will give them a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Well, this is going to be my on going thread for my Ultra Subs SS-6 comps review. These are the comps that I won in the vendor give away. The Ultra website for these comps can be found her…

Ordering process and packaging. I posted in a topic at SSA asking if they were available in D4 coils because they only listed D2 the places I looked. Nick told me they could do D4 and to email him if I was interested. So following various threads here and other places I decided to go with the Flatlynes because I like to be different and not to many people have them. I emailed Nick(Incriminator) on the 22nd of December and got a reply within a half an hour. I sent payment 10 minutes after I got a reply and an hour after that he emailed me and told me they were added to the list. After all the holidays he emailed me on the 5 of January and told me they were going o…

I have had this unit for about 8 months now and am very dissapointed in it first the cons, cause right now i cant think of any pros Cons: iPod Control: -no quick scroll or alphabetical search to find artists (you have to scroll down each page, 4 artists at a time) -every time you go forward into an artist, then go back, it takes you all the way to the top of the list -when you go into an artist, it skips the albums and goes straight to all songs listed for the artist -often times it does not show the correct artist or album -i have yet to get the unit to play video from my iPod, when i hit the button, it simply ejects my iPod from the unit and says "waiting for iPod" DVD:…

well i was extremely shocked from the product i got . this stuff is bullet prof. upon arrival the deadner right away feels like high quality deadner. I compared it next to the edead v1. other deadners i have installed in my life were dynamat extreme as well . here it goes. upon arrival the deadner is bullet prof. when i say bullet proff i mean this stuff is very high grade deadner. i have never messed with anything as good as this stuff. its very nice and thick yet soft to form. i disected the product to compare it to the edead the edead is very flimsy it folds very easy and is about the same thick ness of the damplifier pro but the damplifier pro is much …

First off, I could NOT be happier. Alot of bang for the buck, and that's what I needed from this sub. It sounds excelent, especially for being in a box thats 11.6 cubes. I set the amp to send the sub the full 1000 watts when the bass boost is all the way up. When I listen to music, I have the boost all the way down cause its still loud, but sounds perfectly in tune with the mids and highs. Whenever I get bored is when I crank it up, but personally my ears dont like the pressure all too much. This enclosure was intended for music with the tuning at 28-30 hz, and I never planned on competing, although I went to a db drag on the 15th. I entered and qualified with a 138, quit…

Where to start... I am completely Satisfied with every aspect of my purchase. From the Customer Service to the Product...simply amazing. I installed it in a 6^f Box Tuned to 32hz Lets start off with some pics I have a Shoe Size 15-16 I am the kind of person who changes there mind on the fly. I went through many different subs, and box designs before deciding on FI...however, once I read a little bit about them, i was hooked and ordered as soon as my check came in... I was so excited, I build the box in my house(its 0 out side) cause I didnt wanna be in the garage, and I took a half day on wed to meet the UPS guy and on Friday to Finish the install and test i…

Well to start off with, the BL only has the pole chamfer upgrade and is in a 3.7 cf box tuned to 33 Hz in a 2001 Hyundai Tiburon hatch. I am powering it with a MB Quart RAA1000 (Soon to be Sundown SAE1000), stock alt, and battery (no dimmage ) Now to the good stuff...When I came home and saw the box I was so excited (I was actually denied admission to UF earlier that day but I didnt give a sh!t cause I had this monster ) and I opened the box and wow, this sub looked freakin nice. I opened up all the packaging and carefully inspected every little nook and cranny of the sub and was drooling the whole time. I have dealt with many subwoofers from kicker l7s, eclipse, aa…

Well first off thanks to Nick @ Incriminator for taking care of me, awesome guy, replied to all my pm's and was very helpful. Well I got this sub because sqhertz got one and had nothing but good things to say about this sub. And before the LI I had a FI Q, in a 2.5 @ 32hz box by the man, BJ Fisher. So I thought why not, my Nine.5 is only putting out 600rms @ 1ohm (underrated) and the FI Q needs 1000rms to really shine. The Lethal Injection only needs 600rms, which is perfect in my case, and my amp really puts out around 700-750rms @ 1 ohm. So I took the plunge, bought the sub, got it pretty quick from Incriminator, and when I got it, it was dead sexy. I love the fact that…

My first sub. This ten seems to do a good job. I have it running off of a 500 watt alpine amp. Dont really know why everyone dislikes JL audio but i like my 10" alot.I can drive past my school and everyone looks at me lol. Anywho ill put some pics up later. Im new to this whole audio thing so ask me some questions and ill try my best to answer.

Alright ive been messing around with this unit for the past two weeks. It has all the features i was looking for. It has a built in three -way crossover so i can go active later on and it allows the internal amp to be turned off which is nice. The crossover roll off is pretty steep i dont remember what it is off the top of my head. Pros: Tons of features for the price. Color changing screen. Best sounding unit ive messed with yet (Panasonic 7203, pioneer avh-5700dvd, jvc-kdavx1, and a few other units). Internal amp can be shut off. Six 6 volt preouts. Ipod direct connect or thumb drive. Cons:The equalizer leaves much to be desired. The volume is controlled by a slider ins…

Hi there! I know its my first post here, but I have actually been around a while. Anyway, I won a singel ICON 12D2 from DIYMA (thanks again Ant. and SSA). I had a chance to 'play' with it for a short time and the following is what I came away with it. Enjoy and please feel free to contact me with questions. Ok, so I think it

The Tang Band TW 25-1743S is not Beryllium at all. It's a beryllium copper alloy that is typically 1.8 to 2.0 % beryllium by weight! Here's a message that I sent to Tang Band and their reply. Dear sirs/madams: Kindly be advised that the Tang Band TW 25-1743S (http://www.tb-speaker.com/detail/1230_04/25-1743s.htm), which you advertise and represent as a Beryllium Tweeter is not Beryllium. Your claims are false and deceptive. The dome material is actually a common material used in everything from electronic toys to termination in several electronic system products. The material is actually Beryllium Copper, also known as BeCu; CDA 172, CB101, ISO CuBe2, CEN CW101C, A4/2, b…

This amp is rated 40x4 @ 4 ohms at 12 volts, and I think 70x4 @ 4 ohms at 14.4 volts. 100 x 4 @ 2 ohms. I bought it for $189 from woofersetc.com. This amp definitely seems to put out a good amount of power. I was a little worried at first about the 40x4 rating, but it shows no lack of power. I don't have a way to measure it's actual output, but it certainly does more than that. The 70x4 rating seems more correct, if not more. It gets my JL XR components as loud as I need or would want them to go. The amp looks gorgeous IMO, I love the black. I also love the connections all on the one front side, makes for very easy installation, at least for me. Two hex-headed sc…

I have the new Mag in an enclosure that's about 1.15 cubes before displacement, so maybe 1.05 after. It's powered by a Crossfire BMF1000D, giving a rated 1000 watts to it at 1 ohm. I must admit that when I first put power to the sub I was a little disappointed. It seemed pretty lifeless. However, you must give it time to break in. After about 3 hours of listening time I was much happier. It sounds excellent, tonality is superb, and it does blend with the mids very well. I must say that it definitely sounds different than any other sub you've probably tried (though I haven't listened to any other XBL^2 enabled subs), and you probably wouldn't believe me unless you ac…

Alright. I have had this car for two weeks now. I have driven just a tad over 1500 miles as well. The verdict is good. It managed 34.7 mpg average on the Cape May NJ trip (~300 miles each way). It manages 23 mpg city easily and even on shorter highway trips (ie. work) it manages to average 27 mpg weekly. Not bad for a brand new motor that isn't completely broken in. MY car is a 2008 Jeep Patriot: -5 speed manual and otherwise it's the base car with cruise control added. My bluetooth kit is ordered, and the factory 6 cd changing headunit will be going in soon, as well as the highline wheels. Highway thoughts: -Seats are incredibly comfortable even after 4:45 sitting in th…

After being impressed with both the build quality and output of the Maw series drivers, you could imagine how excited I was to try out one of the new
