So... DCON's it is.National back order And? I'd rather wait for DCON's than go buy a Kicker.

i sold him a single SSA Zcon 15, he PMED me about buying one.. i told him what i had we came to a price, then he told me that it would be aa few days before he could get the money togather.. and i have heard that many times before .. so i pretty much blew him off... but NOPE! he told me it would be a few days.. a few days later he told me it would be 3 days.. and by the 3rd day i had money on my pal pal waiting for me! i tell you that to tell you this... if bassink asked me to hold somthing for him .. I WOULD!!! because he stood by his word! i like that. he was super flexable with shipping options, but to protect us both i got the isurance and direct sig comframation i was super busy with work so it took me three days before i could ship it out. but he was cool and it was a smooth transaction.. in short great buyer, i would vouch for him any time!!!! \ thanks again bro!

The DCONs are actually back ordered though, I'm assuming that they are waiting on parts.

DVC, dual voice coil = two voice coils. Each 1ohm. 2x1ohm=2ohms What impedance the amplifier will see is actually a bit more complicating than wiring to "1ohm" or "2ohm," etc, but in this circumstance the above should suffice for your question. Before your purchase you can use this calculator to find out the wiring options: http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp

Not really, I just enjoy helping people. You are one in a million Neal.

Bump! I decided again to sell this since my Z v.4 should be here within a month and I could use the cash for better things at the moment.

Swapping the belt at the same time may be a good idea while you're at it. Look at mileage, and cost of new belt.Depending on the aftermarket alternator it may require a relay hooked up to 12v power when key is in ignition (I think I worded that correctly. Basically it needs 12v when the vehicle is running, so it knows to turn on). My aftermarket alternator needed this, and I tested the circuits in the fusebox for power when the vehicle was on, and no power with vehicle off, than I spliced into one. Labor is going to vary largely from one vehicle to the next. I did everything in my jeep under two hours. The same job on my volvo takes almost twice as long if you've done it before.

Oh man, I am sorry to see that happened. This is an effect of an issue that has been since corrected at the factory. Thank you for being honest about the extra sub. I think you have a great idea, let's go with that.

2000watts / 14.4v = 139A @ 100% efficiency. Amps are not anywhere near 100%. Wiring lower than "1ohm" will increase this amperage draw. Generally stock alternators don't come with much headroom as it's not cost effective nor needed very often, so expect the majority of your alternator's output to be used by the car. So I would say no.

I'm glad to see this happening again though I'll be sure to buy a ticket or two once I get paid.

No, don't quit talking, ever. Just don't help perpetuate this myth. Car audio is full of this crap. This site is supposed to help people. When certain things are said (in error) all they do is keep the dumb people dumber. I have no doubt you understand this thread, just be careful with what you say as you will confuse the crap out of others.

What a name for an amp....

I dont work there, but.. Most companies have monthly reports that they base there production off of. Now you can break that down even more and say that their are companies that buy in bulk and keep supplies in house and there are companies that have supplies delivered weekly, monthy or by order.( I forget the marketing term) So usually based off of past monthly reports they know what to expect and keep a minimum of supplies as to not use up all of there monies on products not in the budget. And and on the topic of budget most companies have some type of yearly goal, broken down monthly. so for instance if i have 1000$ and know for sure that i will need 5 subs made that cost 400$, payroll is 200$, that leaves me with 400$ in the bank. It would make no since for me to make 2 more subs that i dont know for sure will sale that month and leaving the company broke. Rather since they build to order and you pay up, it keeps there production going. The problems arise when there are budget problem or orders spike that they didn't forsee. Kinda like in the winter parts store know to stock up on de-icer and scrapers, while in the summer they stock up on AC recharges, but battery sales may stay constant all yr long. I hope that made since i never really get a chance to use my business knowledge lol

The image dynamics sub is great, the only limitation being that it won't do 150db... I find it to be a very accurate and transient sub, that being said, I personally prefer more headroom for when I feel the need for bass. It will perform well, but if you love a lot of electronica, or heavy bass music, you might want more output. I know that they can perform, i've heard a fair share of Image Dynamics speakers, and to date they have been responsible for some of the most accurate sounding vehicles I have had the pleasure to listen to. There are other options: Fi Q SSA GCON

It's in the off-topic section where people can discuss their non-audio related interested.

Take it to pm if you want to talk about laws. I just want to know what I asked in my original post. Thanks

That's probably a good idea. You might hurt yourself.When those type guns have a one to two mile range. They can't be used in a city. I do have weapons I can use to defend myself. I am a gun rights advocate!Please show me a pellet gun or bow and arrow with a two mile range. Or learn to make your arguments more clear and concise. J

Is this a local thing or are you a fuck up? J

That's probably a good idea. You might hurt yourself.

pmureika, even on your own property you cannot hunt invasive species with small caliber rounds in rural areas? That sounds dubious. I just read they opened up rifle areas for deer in southern Michigan. I don't know the details or if the law did pass, but it was JUST in the news.

What a bunch of horse shit. I carried an AR at a young age. Uncle Sam stuck one in my hand, with some proper training, they're a very enjoyable firearm. Ammunition is cheap, they're reliable, and parts are easily obtained. DPMS makes great entry level AR-15's. Definitely take the advice given regarding lurking around the forums, tons of good information on there. A firearm is nothing but a tool in the hands of a responsible adult. What type of firearm it is makes absolutely no difference in its function. It is a tool and should be respected.

You don't need amps or speakers and might hurt yourself and others. Probably don't know how to properly calibrate them to the highest level of standards either so you shouldn't get them. Come on man, don't be so rude to people. You wouldn't want to be talked to like that would you? I am just saying what is he going to use it for and does it need to be a ar-15. Smaller calibers can do the same job. An AR-15 is neither a high power rifle nor a large caliber rifle.

I"m in the same boat! Actually, in my case, Bassink HELD something for me. Great guy to work with.

Looks like you have been sponsored

Aaaron, I received a duplicate Icon today . The one I actually bought and paid for arrived long ago and rocks my daily driver each and every day. Please contact me and I will send you the sub in exchange for a RMA. Thanks!

160's is bonkers, and oh by the way, that's a 160 with out the subs having to be reconed.

holy crap that shicker sig is a brute

Can you use it on you private land? In southern Michigan you can only use it at a rifle range.

Not where you live.

Irate-sleep:1 year ago ArmaLite AR-15 is a selective fire assault rifle with available calibrations of .223 or 5.56mm. In Michigan, it is legal to hunt deer in the rifle zone with any caliber of firearm except a .22 caliber or smaller rim fire. In the shotgun zone of Michigan, you can hunt deer only when using a conventional smokeless powder handgun that must be .35 caliber or larger.

Huh? You couldn't be any more wrong. Setting your gains with an oscilloscope is the only way to set your gains. Unless you want to push your amps into clipping, then by all means go ahead and turn that volume knob all the way up. But for those of us that want to set our gains correctly, an oscilloscope is the only way to do it correctly. Remember, you are matching the amp to your headunit. Once again, you are also wrong about distortion. Distortion will not be audible until your amp is putting out double of what it is capable of. That is also another reason why you would use an oscilloscope. The human ear is not enough to go off of to tell if the amp is clipping or not. This is not misinformation. This is the only way to set your gains so that you do not risk damaging your subs while getting the most out of your amps.
