Company: Alpine Product Name: PDX 1000 Length of Ownership: 2-3 months Rate 1-5: ***** Pros: Size, VERY User Friendly, Just about everything. Cons: I would of liked the speaker terminals better if they were fiberglass instead of plastic.. thats about it. The PDX 1000 is an amazing amplifier.. its sexy and packs a punch! I had it pushing two 12" Alpine Type R's (3rd gen) and it was an amazing set-up and i miss it everyday! This amplifier is my favorite to date, i would recommend this amplifier to ANYone that wants a great 1000wrms at 2 and 4 ohms I really wish for Alpine to start making PDX series amps with 2-6kwrms!

Hi I have been a member here on the SSA forum for a couple months and I have to say THANK YOU to all of the SSA staff and forum mod/admin! I appreciate the patience with my noob questions I appreciate the level of professionalism displayed here (as opposed to somewhere else...) From my experience here so far, I have been convinced to get my next amp from the SSA store. Since I'm so noob I would feel confident knowing that I could come here for any potential tuning or install problems. So anyways thanks again and have a great day -tru two thumbs up!

Couldn't resist ordering some of this stuff. 1st thing I noticed was the weight. I just happen to have the exact same size piece in there kolossus flex and the weight difference is very noticeable. Possibly double! Unable to provide any raw technical info on the wire but it doesn't seem too bad for CCA. Cool color I wanted to use and extremely flexible so this wire is going to work just fine for me.

In my quest for big sounds on a little funds I have noticed that it's all in the details. Today we look at 1/0 gauge ring terminals. Two for five bucks isn't going to break the bank, but when you're looking to buy 25 pairs, economies of scale need a second look. So this is what I found: Ring terminals at Amazon Now time for some pics. Some specifics. The eyelet measures 7/16"ID and just under 1" OD. The opening for the wire is at 1/2". The overall length is 2". Hope this helps, thanks for looking.

I'm not gonna post a lot of info in here right now because i dont have my specs in front of me but between now and the next few days, i'll be testing their power capability to a degree as they are wired at 0.4ohms right now... 4 of them are and will be kept that way for a week or two. As of right now, leaving them wired like that and keeping the gain off(that's if you have an aftermarket gain controller), the amp's exhibit no heat buildup when not in use. It was left running like this for 45 minutes. Some people may find this odd that i would test an amp with no output power but to the contrary... some amps wired this low are real touchy about certain wired loads and will…

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.

Recently I purchased two 12 inch ssds from Fi car audio. I was looking for something loud yet retain good sound quality. I first built a box which is 4.5 cubes tuned to 33 hz. I have them hooked up at 1 ohm to a US amps Md2. At first i thought the low end was lacking so i contacted scott and told him and he told me about the copper coils vs the aluminum coils. Well the copper coils made that much of a differnce because i love these subs. They play the lows nicely and get loud. The sound quality could be better. But being that im a bass head it doesnt bother me at all. Compared to a sx which everyone wants to compare them to. I would say they are alike except more musical …

Product: audio wrap sound deadener Company: Audio wrap/protecto wrap i receved this from the companny directly in a promo i have to say i was skeptical at first then put it on and wow it really does work. i will def be ordering some for the trunk when i have the money it is very mold able and very sticky

I must say this head unit is awesome! Check out the video!

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

My review for tejcurrent's dual / triple alt bracket and HO alt. First I need to say that Troy is a great guy and was excellent to do business with. His communication was excellent and kept me updated on any delays and always answered my emails promptly. The time frame to get the product could have been faster, but I knew going into this that he had a job and family. I was okay with all that. Some things are out of his control at the moment, but he is learning how to deal with it. I wish him the best going forward. He is a super guy and went above and beyond helping me get an excellent bracket and alt installed in to my truck. I feel very safe in saying that Troy will sta…

First off let me say i'll be totally honest and say i had very low hopes for this sub, as the previous owner had already told me what he thought about it. I bought this sub for the price of $40 dollars form him without a dustcap, contacted Scott and he was kind enough to send me a dustcap for the sub. I tested this sub in a in a sealed off trunk of a 1978 Chevrolet Camaro The test Equipment was: Alpine 9835 kenwood entry level 6.4 coaxials Kenwood entry level 6x9s All speakers inside cabin running from deck power Sub amp MTX 500d ( i know its over the RMS of the sub,buti honestly wanted to see if it would take over the RMS and the only other amps i have are 2k RMS and ab…

so i had a small issue with my sundown NS-1 i contacted chris at DB-r using his web page, it has a very nice chat log tool that issues you a service number, and then keeps track of everything said and your info and service number, chris responded very quickly, and was very helpful and gave a quote to repair my amp... on a SUNDAY!, then at sunday at 9pm he was still responding to my messeges .. great! monday morning i sent my amp off. he recived it tuesday and he let me know it arived, and told me to give him two weeks ... so i did. three weeks late i emailed him to check the status and he informed me he was just getting on to email me,. and that my i…

Alright so here it goes. As soon as I unpackaged them I saw the quality of these subs. Good solid construction, spiders, tinsel leads, everything seemed perfect. Currently, I am using two 15" Icons and tuned them really low at 27hz and wow, musical reproduction is amazing. Obviously, great output at the lower end and plays kick drums flawlessly. My girlfriend listens to some hardcore music, and these subwoofers easily sound the best and pick up on every note that should be played and dig down low on those bass drops. Overall, phenomenal subwoofers with both sound quality and output in mind. Id recommend these subs for anyone, the absolute best subwoofers iv owned …

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:…
