    I have decided the Sundown Audio SA series is what im going for. I need the best setup for what im doing but im not an expert, thats why I came here. The car: (not yet purchased) A new (or recently new) Dodge Charger My ideas: 2 SA-15s, 2 SA-12s, or 3 SA-10s (The 3 SA-10s are the last option on my list but il keep them in mind) The power: All off of a 1200 or 1500 RMS amp (I will have no other modifacations so I need to keep the power down) I bump daily, im careful about feeding to much power and i take care of my subs. I want SQ but im mainly going for SPL when i need it. What setup is best for me? Any questions about this just ask. I am unsure if I will port or go se…

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to repair my AA Mayhem 12. My leads broke in the middle of the spiders and I'm not sure how to get to them so I can solder them. Does anyone know how to disassemble a Mayhem or got a video on how to do it? Or does anyone know an easy way to get at the leads? Thank you, Brad.

    Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me find a manufaturer that can rebuild a subwoofer based off an Audiomobile Mass series magnet structure. It is a 3inch underhung design that was origonally built or at least designed by TC Sounds. The design was also used in the SVS Ultra(v1) home subwoofer. TC as some of you may know has been restructured and are far to busy to handle this request. I was just wondering if there are any other products/manufaturers that would be compatible. Any input is welcome. Thanks.

    A mid made by CIARE (Italian company) for Car Audio. They have a bunch of products home and car... even horns like ID but I don't know what they are worth. http://oaudio.de/media/products/0861656001182438423.pdf I was thinking of pairing those with my ID CD1v.3 horns for a 2way front stage. The new version has pretty much the same specs except for the Fs = 75hz // Re = 3ohm // Qts = 0.16 // Qes = 0.16 // Qms = 4.88 // Mms = 13.19. Your opinion appreciated, Kelvin

    I've been looking to upgrade to either 2 12 SA's or 2 Lethal Injections. Ill be powering either set with a Sundown Sae 1200 v2 and will build an enclosure to specifications. I know it'll probably just come down to brand preference since both are quality subwoofers. So basically I'd just like to hear other peoples input because I havent heard any sundown or ia subs. Thanks in advance, looking forward to trying something new.

But, how do I get good mids and tweets to sound good with the crossovers? JimJ said that these crossovers won't work too well? Amp: Crunch PowerZone 4-Channel Amplifier (PZi175.4). Sub: Dayton RSS265HF-4 10" Reference HF Subwoofer 4 Ohm 350w RMS.

    I was thinking of using my current Mag15 in a HT setup once I get my new Mag in. Unless I sell this one first. How do you think it would do? I assume it would kick ass, especially considering the sq. I have also read where people usually double the box size when doing a HT install. Is this neccasary? Or would 4-5cuft ported still do?

I have a camaro, and I am able to put a 5 cubic ft box in my car and I currently dont have much power as an amp. 750 bridged at 4 ohm. The RF 500/2 Where I work I get discounts on Alpine's and RF. Thats why I am currently running 1 12" P3 in 2.5 cubic ft. sealed box. I was orignally going to put two P3's or 2 Type R's in but from what I have heard from you guys thats not the way I wanna go.

    Well, after about 2 months of my 12" SI Magnum sitting in a box in the corner of the living room, i got around to building a box and getting it in the car. This sub is replacing my 3 10" Orion XTR's in a 3.1 ft^3 sealed box, some pretty big shoes to fill. The box about 1.3 ft^3 net, sealed, and stuffed about 50% with a mix of fiberglass insulation and cotton stuffing. The amp is an Orion XTRPRO 1000, running at 1 ohm for a full 1k output. Well, first impression. Wow, this thing is tight!! I listen to metal about %99.9 of the time so this was a big deal to me. This sub sounds flawless. I went through about 10 CD's, from Fear Factory to Lamb of God, and it has handl…

  23. Started by Upstage Audio,

    ok, well i'm looking into getting two new Mags possibly but know that the upgrade process will take a little time due to money. I have a concept CC-D1200 that at 1ohm does somewhere from 1200-1400RMS and at 2ohms does 900-1100RMS. So for one sub i know i'm fine but when i get the second one i'll have to be at 2ohms and didn't know if 450-550RMS is too little for them. i would hope that i will add a 2nd amp to them but I may be replacing the concept amp at the same time. Will i run into underpowering issues if run at 450RMS? It will be in a sealed 1.5cu ft per sub box.

    I have a set of 8 Ohm Solo Baric subs I am looking to run on a Mono Amp. I used to have a set of Solo's that were 4 ohm that I ran on a US 1000x. Can't remember what the setup was but I know I had a neg from one sub running to pos to the other sub, then one terminal pos going to the pos on amp and neg going to the amp. Is that just a bridge Mono? Would that have been at 1 ohm? My question is, If I do that on my 8 ohm subs what Ohm rating will I be at. and also what is the exact wiring configuration. I am having an extremely hard time finding a US 1000x amp. I am considering running a JL500/1 does anyone have any other amps they like, I am going towards a SQ setu…

    Man, i really had my heart set on sellings my two magnum 12s and getting two of the 15s. Those theives piss me off. Anyways, since there is no telling when stereo integrity will get back on their feet, i need a sub/subs that will work off my Tsunami 1800. I want them to perform (spl wise) like two 15" D2s would. And i will be tuning the subs low, so i can hit the real low lows. I just dont know what to get. 18inch XXX was an option, but i dont know if it will give me the SPL i was lookin for. What ever the case, it must hit harder than my dual Mag 12s. Please help me out as soon as possible
