From amps i've messed with, the slave output on the master amp will bypass all processing control functions on the slave amp... That is why the slave inputs are different than just the ordinary inputs. I wouldnt see why sundown would be any different.

The Sundowns remote is a remote gain so yes, you could turn it down at the remote.

You will need to check you amp's manual to see if the remote knob acts as a gain control or bass boost. Ultimately resetting you gains and double checking the wiring is best.

Just got it. It's crazy big. Enjoy the pics. Yes, I am a tool. Here it is next to my Cresendo 3KWP

Posted this in my build log but figured id throw it up here also. Not very good vids but they work. Need some sound deadening, and some more tuning. Interior video. Exterior video. Song is "Don't let me fall" by B.o.B Gotta click on the pics. Sorry dont know how to imbed with photobucket.

if they are strapped you want to have the slave gain all the way down and have the master control everything as it should being that its the master

Again, post your space first BEFORE any other questions. Without knowing there is NO answer. Install is everything.

I have had alot of subs in the past. Most recently I have had an 18" btl an18" mayhem and now I have psi subs. Compared to what I have had the Zcon is amazing! I am not gonna say the Zcon shits on what I have had (FI and AA subs are badass also) but it sounds amazing it moves mad air, very well built. What I wad most impressed with was how it sounded. The bass rolled off smooth the lows were just banging!!! Overall it's a beast and a great sub. Also comes with some bad ass customer service as we all know. If your looking for a new sub something not alot of people have and will fit your budget, Zcon is what you want

Initial post was wrong vendor. XS Power's customer service time and delivery is top notch!!! Good luck with the move!!

yeah i have enough room lol i have a 10 inch box behind my seat lol with room to spare and those 12s are only 6/4 deep Depth for the drivers is NOT what is required for room. To answer your question you first should post the maximum size box you can fit. And 6.5" deep for a driver + pole vent clearance 1" + MDF front and back 1.5" + excursion clearance 3" = 12" depth, but again that is unimportant as volume/cubic feet determine what you can run. For instance, keeping everything else equal an 8" sub in an optimal box will be louder than the same series of sub in a 12" size in a box that is too small. Install is EVERYTHING and that means building a box that is specific to your drivers. Box first, ALWAYS.

Never had them, but I'm sure you can spend you money better.

Make it objective, do a blind listen test on a few songs. Rip the song both ways. Keep them in separated folders. Re-rip the song back to full wav or whatever so they are the same size. Give the two folders to one of your friends. Have them keep track of what order they put the songs on the cd (256 320) and alternate randomly which one is first. Then he gives the disk to you and you guess. Take your time, use your stereo, your headphones, your truck and see. I think it will be enlightening.

also provided 2 still shots I pulled from the vid

i dont know if that chart is wrong but i do not think this chart is accurate for musical playback. If you or the user thinks the 1/0 cable is at it's limit, it would easily be getting warm at some point. I have never witnessed 1/0 cable get warm and on setups similar to his but with larger alternator on top of that. The fact is that current is not as consistent as voltage can be and because of that, that chart above can't be taken that literal. That chart is moving into the overkill section and overkill isn't all important for a daily driver. Curious as to what alt and ratings are for that alt. The voltage drop you are seeing i believe is a direct result of resistance in your connections AND a need to take your batteries out and recharge them individually. "IF" your alt was doing 150A at 2000rpm, that would leave around another 150-200A MAX extra for music to dump on the batts. If 3 batteries cant handle that without dropping to 12.3-12.5... then either you arent using large enough batts(i'm assuming you are using HC1800 or bigger) or the batts need some charging. You still would benefit from a larger alt, no doubt, but you will also still be dropping below 13.0v even with a 250A alt likely at some points. That amp can pull upwards of around 400A. Now, it won't ever do that on music unless you have it wired real low.

The amount of amprage that can pass through a wire is directly related to the gauge and lenght of the wire. Your 1/0 is capable between 150-200 amps depending on the brand, and based on the fact that you problably don't have over 17 ft run. You are also trying to use the extra current avilable from your front battery. Armed with this knowledge you know you are at the limits of the 1/0, but won't benifit from another run unless you get a bigger alternator. Here's a chart I grabbed off the internet to help you understand.

did you do this? http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/videos/view-6-2010-camaro-ss-with-hydraulics/ also how is this coming along/
