  1. A few post even snaps of some of the other RX8's (there were 10 in total as we planned a little gathering, and again I was the only Shinka ).
  2. what you do mean?? Have to watch the vid...the lil sub he took out of his cumputers subwoofer.
  3. This is what I am using the sealed Evil box for. These sub are old school subs. 12w0 12ohm.
  4. here are a few of the new photos.... http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/categories/sub-woofers/incriminator-audio/death-penalty.html
  5. Yessir, ready for purchase... http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/categories/sub-woofers/incriminator-audio/warden.html
  6. Bummer, you have to be confused completely. That site is full of bullshit. Sorry Rofl. I see what you did there. Actually, I'm learning quite a bit and I honestly appreciate it. I don't plan on running any competitions or having a big dick contest, I just find value in promoting a brand such as Fi, regardless of the made in America part. I still enjoy the market and I think more people can benefit from the knowledge on this forum and from the workers at Fi like Nick, who takes the time to respond to customer inquires, no matter how juvenile the question.I moved my amp today, drilled it into the back of my fold down back seat so I can easily adjust the gain and monitor it's temps. It was hot, but not hot enough to burn me or make me pull my hand away. I need to get familiar with my equipment so I know what is acceptable heat wise. It should get better ambient cooling being in the cabin now as well. I have not yet adjusted the gain. I think I'm going to play my deepest bass song, adjust at my preferred listening volume and monitor temps over a few hours to see where I'm at. I've used this method on tens of subs before the DD-1 and only ever blew a pair of Visonik's back when I was 15. My last question, my head unit has 2 subwoofer options. One appears to be the general subwoofer level, which is +6. And then there's another subwoofer option in another setting where I have it at +6 as well. Should I just make both of these 0 and adjust gain only? Does the EQ crossover options such as vocal or xplod affect the woofer? One of the frequencies in the curve is 65Hz or so, but is that only for the mids/highs? Thanks again everyone. Zero everything. No bass boost, do not EQ to the + side, always attenuate (dial the EQ down).You claimed you were clipping the HU at 47 out of 50 and you have the sub outs dialed to +6? Bullshit. Not bullshit on you, but it is proof that the DD1 is a complete pile of shit. Not only that, but there is no way in hell an Xplod unit is clean to 94% of it's total output at 0... no way in hell. How is that proof that the dd-1 is shit? All having the sub level up on the ead unit is going to do is cause the amps gain to be set lower.My guess would be that his point was with a +6 setting the preamp output would reach it's limit earlier in the volume range than with a lower level setting, which is entirely true....that's why it's louder, it outputs higher voltage for a given volume setting, hence it's louder at a given volume setting.My only problem with the assumption is it all depends on how the circuit was designed. For example on the older Alpine units the sub level was labeled 0 to +15, but in reality the "+15" setting was actually just the full output and not an actual boost, or in other words it was actually the 0db setting. So although it was labeled 0 thru +15, it actually functioned as -15 to 0. So one would not expect an unreasonable amount of clipping with a high level setting, which is counterintuitive. Without knowing the actual function of the circuit in relation to the settings, it's hard to pass judgment. Exactly. But knowing Sony +6 is +6. Ramtied, an amplifier is not the only gain device in a signal chain. A head unit's volume knob is also a gain device. Turn it up too much and your low level line will clip.
  7. Bump, unless you want those Focals. Lol
  8. Figures. Ignore everything you read or hear on Steve's forum. Whole thing is full of bullshit and marketing propaganda.
  9. Bump for a good seller!
  10. I will send them to you if you want to review them.

    2009 Jeep Liberty Odyssey Battery up front odyessey in back Clarion CX501 Cd player with sirius sat radio See some new parts for a rebuild in last post.
  13. The frame can carry alot more current then two runs of 0 gauge.

    Nice flex!!!
  15. Then you won't get the most out of a sq sub and the same for a spl sub. You need to design the box for the sub you are using.
  16. Why don't you just buy it?
  17. Yes there is. Copper or tinned ofc copper is the only way to go if you are pushing the limits. If you are going to use 1/0 cca in place of 4 ga. copper then you maybe just fine. you need a larger ga. cca wire to handle the same as a smaller ga. ofc copper.
  18. Can you use it on you private land? In southern Michigan you can only use it at a rifle range.

    Thats to bad I think they make nice work or golf shirts.
  20. China will copy anything for the right price.
  21. He is a honest kid working hard to please everybody!
  22. I received a 12" zcon from bassink in perfect condition. He communicates well and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from him again!

    A 18xl proto type.
  24. You should always do at least a final ohm test of the sub to make sure its wired right. If you assume things then thats what you get.

    I have used dcons, gcons,icons,xcons & now my first zcon. This is one beast of a sub. You can't beat it for sq or spl in this price range. Thanks SSA!!!!!!!!!!!!
  26. Buy a skar sub lol.
  27. "slam HARD!!" well thats great! all the info to recommend a product is right there. Nobody has used a sundown x. So how can we tell you which is better?
  28. Will a 4 gauge ring terminal fit? You don't need need 1/0 for 90 amps. You might even get away with 8 gauge. If your going to one ohm you will need a bigger alt and 0 gauge.
  29. There is away to set it properly, but you need trained ears.
  30. Ask for help on how to set your gain. I am not good at explaining it. Maybe start a new thread asking about it.
  31. With dual fours you can't do .5 ohms. Run a class D mono at 2k or 2.5k @1 ohm. Sorry I am wrong but 2k @ 2 ohms is cheaper
  32. Go to the store and then down to speakers. Click on speakers and then down MMATS PRO AUDIO. http://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/categories/speakers/mmats-pro-audio.html
  33. Glad to hear that.
  34. Great seller here!
  35. Read the selling rules. You need to attach a piece of paper with your user Id and date plus ssa forum on it.
  36. Bump for a great guy!
  37. Try this instead. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/60249-fs-sundown-sax-1004/
  38. These are the worst sounding 6.5 coaxials I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  39. Read the rules. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/56710-read-the-rules/

    Is it worth blowing the amp if you don't have good electrical.
  41. -1 points
    You can get a crescendo amp and pay extra and they will warranty it to .5 ohms.

    Then why are you running a cadance amp and not a IA. To much money for you?
  43. They may not have them because they are built in china.
