  1. No more replacement refs!
  2. My goal wasn't to ruin the moment, but save you some money. This would absolutely makes those look like serious POS. Peerless SLS 8 $130/pr Aura NS3 $25/pr Dayton ND20 $30/pr 2 miniDSP $234 (with plug ins, isolator and volume knob) Total: $419 + shipping leaving you $80 for a Line Driver so you don't even need a headunit anymore. Okay, you still need to buy more amp channels, but the $80 goes a long ways in doing that. And yes, this has the potential to seriously make that HiVi set sound like its from Kmart.
  3. Here we are peoples. The build some of you are waiting for.................. This will be a three phase style build. I will be competing Street Stock at first, then I will switch up to SS NW, the SS 3-4 for the DBdrag sanction. We have here a 2003 Yukon XL that has been Deemed(by me) the SSA YUKONVICT. ^^^^^^^^^ LAST SEASON New Season - New Truck Gotta get them Stock boys off there Much better but needs new tires Those are for the Winter Stock tires the Deuces will get them over winter for summer Much better than Stock radio with the tape player Holy intake Batman Gotta have the Juice! But what about the Alternator to charge it That needs to be cleaned up but thats enough for now lets go have fun!
  4. Sounds pretty sweet. Nah the afterburner is stupid annoyingly loud. I live with big jets flying over constantly and they're not even that loud. Oh I'm sure it's loud, I just figured it sounded pretty awesome--at least for a few minutes for those of us that aren't near jets all day long.
  5. You are complaining about jets doing aerobatics over your house? Have some friends over, bring out the lawn chairs and start drinking beer.
  6. Passive and three way in general is a mess. Of course the exception being if you place the drivers all on one baffle, but then the use of a 2" midrange is idiotic. Personally I don't like the cross points, the crossover, and the lie in marketing (German crafted midrange with a chinese sticker on the back of it, lol). The Lpad integration alone is scary, I can't imagine what other wonders are hiding under that plastic case. Add to that the use of "marketing" materials in the design and it's of dubious quality at best. The added cost of Kevlar here with no added benefit makes no sense. Of course it worked in that it made you guys say the look "good" or "nice". I've also never heard a HiVi tweeter I want to hear again. Not a good thing IMO. I do understand their goals though. The only HiVi driver I've heard that was enjoyable was their 2" mid. Changing that design to shrink it and then apply it to use in something is a great idea. This just isn't how I'd implement it at all.

    The only people who should try to use 10" or 12" midbass are seriously advanced pros with lots of processing equipment. My advice is for you to buy a pair of good component 6 1/2" speakers, the SSA store sells them, for the front and power them with 2 of the audiopipe's 4 channels. Use 2 more channels to power a set of coaxles in the rear (whichever sounds "best" to you). Stick with the Sundown sub in a box recommended by the manufacturer powered by one of the hifonics amps and get rid of the rest. Based on your questions, you are too new in the hobby to make all those speakers sound good together.
  8. I think he's going to do 4 6.5s in a 6th order on 100 watts. going to hit 170s!!! kidding, ask ramrod and see what he says this question was for him. Obviously not for you !!!
  9. Very nice looking component set.
  10. If you were take the time to look in the exact same sub-section (sundown) you will clearly see the first sticky about the different sa-8 versions and what you can and can't do between the different models. That's too easy I guess??????? What?
  11. I've never had any personal experience with it, but I'd love to. May have found a new set of speakers to play with.
  12. First decent music post you've made. One of my good friends is his nephew. Their studio is on his farm. Pretty sweet. We recorded a song together in 7th grade, lol
  13. forgot the picture of the battery and amp rack. i need 2 more 3100 to fill in the space
  14. i'm getting waisted, how are you? Sitting here thinking about the effects of people's childhood on how they grow up and influences their decision making. J i don't cry and blame my parents for how i turned out. this is life and it's the way it is. i did whatever it is to get me where i am now And yet from half the shit you say I could swear you were raised by wolves. Its like 1/2 the time you have no concept of actuality. J
  15. Second best (as in accurate to the record) band I have ever heard live. Best is still Avenged Sevenfold. Granted Slipknot still has best stage show. J

  17. I have absolutely nothing of value to add right now. J
  18. I wouldn't negotiate so fairly. See, here's how it is...
  19. Mine negotiates with the cat too..... but she can lift the cat. The 160 pound mastiff, not so much.
  20. ROFLMAO I am in the spare bedroom listening to my wife negotiate with the dog over bed space. Buahahahahhahahaha
  21. Typical I see what you did there

  23. WOAH. This is google maps...OF THE GREAT BARRIER REEF. https://maps.google.com/maps?cbll=-23.442896%2C151.906584&z=3&layer=c&panoid=CWskcsTEZBNXaD8gG-zATA&cbp=13%2C332.33%2C%2C0%2C11.68
  24. This GCON in the top right corner of my screen is beautiful ....
  25. This thread is pointless period, you already got your point across. Grow up and let it go already.
  26. So are all you guys gonna do is argue everytime Randall makes a post, just clutters up the build thread.
  27. LoL I am a grown man and I still get a kick out of it. :-)
  28. from my experience no it will not be enough, and or. it would not be enough for me rather. ill tell you a little bit about why i say so. i had a 200 amp H/o and 2 yellow tops in the rear and 1 under the hood. all 0 gauge with big three, with a saz 3000D on 2 15 inch BLs,@1 ohm,. i suffered low voltage, my amp would run hot, i would blow breakers and i cooked a few alternators, i added, 1 more cell to the rear and it helped. but was still not where i wanted to be.... i ended up with 4 optimas in the rear, and 1 under the hood along with a 200 amp h/o to be able to run cool and stay with decent voltage. @1 ohm. i never ran below. lastly,. i can not for the life of me figure out how you plan to run run dual 2s at 1 ohm daily and comps ay .5 unless your going to run 1 sub daily.
  29. Don't hit me in the money maker. look, when i went to school i wasn't like that. i was a quiet kid, but i had alot of friends. i wan't extremelly popular, but i wasn't unpopular either. i played hockey and football and always treated people with respect, but over the years i look back and think about all the respect i have given just to get nothing in return and it pisses me off. i think back to every time somebody said they were going to beat my ass, talk crap about my family or really insult me intellectually and i would turn around and walk away when i really should of hit them. i'm not talking about yo mama jokes or stupid crap like that, i'm talking about when a kid really starts going off on you or does something to you. It's stupid, but my grandma always told me that "if somebody slaps you in the cheek you just turn your head and offer the other", but i say that if somebody slaps you in the cheek you should roll back and knock the phucker out. everytime that i was quiet and didn't say anything or every timme somebody shit on me and i didn't do anything i wish that i would have just let loose and tore them apart. Still absolutely wrong and exactly what is wrong with our society. If you can't handle an insult you've got serious personal issues you need to address. If you think that behavior is acceptable for others please move to Mexico. We don't want you here.
  30. That would work rather well, but in all honesty I would utilize a slot port in your application if you have the space. You can adjust port area and volume a bit to help make the enclosure more efficient. This would help with getting more with less in a since. If you are limited on space and/or plan to upgrade power, I would slim the enclosure down a tad.
  31. Asserting that kids today are pussies and not tough enough for life is one thing.... flat out saying that it is a positive thing to teach kids to retaliate by escalating situations is just such a horrible concept to me it makes me a little fucking sick honestly.
  32. If your looking for 4k clamped I would not choose a 3.5k amp. Manufactures ratings and real world power are two different things. Sure someone has probably squeezed 4k out of a smaller amp but not at a daily ohm load.
  33. That was awesome. Love watching the DCON's in action. What are they wired down to?
  34. When I was selling my XCON 10 I drove an hour and a half to meet a guy and he wouldn't buy my d2 because it read 1.4ish. He said that his amp was only one ohm stable and .7 was too low. Needless to say I was very irritated on the drive home.
  35. Because I ran a Q 15 and loved it, then stepped up to two Q 18's and loved those aswell. Even the day I ordered the Q's I wish I had stepped up and bought the SP4's. So I quickly sold those and bought what I wanted. With the 4in vc, low fs, high Xmax and big power handling I knew this is what I wanted. The Sp4's sound just as good as the Q line but doing in a MUCH stronger fashion. These subs are low end monsters and that was my goal. My truck does the same db at 28hz as it does at 40hz and will peak around 34, all within a 1db range
  36. Tuned in! Bring that biotch up to Indy for finals so I can hear before the rebuild!! I would start putting money back for repairs to the doors, latches, window seals/windows, & roof....LOL
  37. Lol If u just want to waste money go and buy a fluke multimeter and maybe learn someting. The if u meet someone with a dd u can compare the two products. One from a real company and the other one just there for people who has no idea and have too much money. WTB Fluke meter
