    As a new company that firmly believes in proper testing procedures, and plans on expanding into amplifiers I would be interested if your product has been test benched against other industry recognized standards such as Audio Precision or Sound cube. Or better yet has ISO 17025:2005 certificates, or am I misunderstanding the nature of this product?

    It has been tested against the Audip Precision 575x and the Hewlett Packard 8903A. It be awesome if you happen to have a video of that in action. Does your company own it's own You Tube channel. It would be nice to see the engineer of this thing make a few runs on it.
  3. As many of you know Rage Gold is one of the best body fillers you can get. It has amazing sanding qualities that lead to a professional finish in a timely manner. But there is a bunch of hype about a new body filler on the market called "Matter" from Sonus Car Audio. Can it stack up against Rage Gold? Lets find out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey89Kr9wvjg

    I understand the idea behind dynamics, however, applying the idea to mobile audio seems a bit over extended so to speak. The idea behind it, is to show how an amplifier will perform musically on various dynamics , however those very dynamics are compressed and altered for 99% of our applications. Anyway, I sent you a PM Tony on another question.

    This is so clearly user error. And why you made THREE threads I have no idea. Have fun getting help with this one. Why everyone thinks they are just an expert at setting up car audio I have no idea. The DD-1 is useless, you clipped the shit out of the sub I'm sure.

    The explanation of dynamic headroom not cutting off the sine waves makes sense to me. Thank you for that explanation.

    I don't see any mention of bandpass and I can't find the manual on the site. Looks like junk to me anyway. It is only a rumor as nobody has been brave enough to get one. Under features it mentions "sound staging" which usually includes TA off the bat and if you're lucky other things. The closest is the Clarion NX702. Yes it has bandpass. Still not a pioneer as much as we'd all like it to be, and i've already agreed and mentioned getting this unit myself. Sorry guess I missed that. As you can see in my sig I have the pioneer and I bought my son the CZ702 so I can honestly give my real opinion of both. A mix of both would be ideal. The Pioneer independent left and right eq is better but I really prefer a parametric. using the crossover points properly eliminates or has the potential to eliminate the need for using an eq in most cases. It's usually in the passband between drivers. A gap in the crossover points and proper slope works wonders. I don't care for being limited to the pre-selected crossover points on the pioneer. I hardly use any at all but when I do it would be nice to put the center point exactly where my issue is. The range of the Clarion allows for better use of a widebander if that's your taste but the very limited slopes on the clarion crossover is weak. people have different opinions on this but it will make it more difficult to achieve proper phase. I have listened to both quite a bit and I can say there is a noticeable difference in the overall sound leaning towards the Pioneer but with the pricepoint of both they are both insanely cheap for what they do.

    Dynamic power testing is the standard used on hi-fi home audio. This is where the measurement "Headroom" comes from. People mistakingly use that term for other things. The definition of dynamic headroom is the difference between continuous power and dynamic power and is expressed in dB. For example, if an amplifier does 100 Watts continous, but did 400 Watts dynamic we would say that it has 6dB of headroom. It is a term used to tell you about the power supply of the amplifier. It is a valid spec when talking about how an amplifier would sound on music. If amplifier A had 100 watts continuous, 200 watts dynamic and amplifier B had 100 watts continuous, 400 watts dynamic, amplifier B would sound MUCH better on music, esp when turned up. In a SPL competition where the SPL is averaged over some time period they would both score exactly the same. The term Peak Power is marketing bullshit that has absolutely no science behind it and means nothing.

    This being your first system I would highly suggest something smaller untill you gain the knowledge to run a high powered system. It isn't just about hooking everything up and crank it up. You could loose all of your equipment real quick not knowing what your doing
  12. I did it! 8 subs, 3 layers thick.. working on sealing around the area where the baffle must go.. Then building under the wall and all that.. I have to take all my front seats out and the console to try and get this baffle in.. I'll try that next weekend as i got some more wood to cut.
  13. i can see you did not read a hand full of statements in my topic ...
  14. Oh, I don't take offense to any of that. I appreciate it. I know about the road noise and stuff but at the moment all I'm trying to do is eliminate any possible rattling. It proved effective in my challenger..so I'm doing the same to my g6. Now down the road when I got like $400 on the side. Ill put some of that material you mentioned in your post in my vehicle. But for now I'm worried about getting everything rattle proof
  15. Do you use your A/C? I see two spots that would hold 3's nicely...
  16. That's pretty odd. They use precision coils. Surprised to see then let go before getting stinky.

    Subscribed...tuned in for sure.
  18. We have no control over DC power and their business. I know that, hence why I stated the only one you have control over is your own. Yup, was just making sure people did not have any confusion from our end.

    If I were to throw you some numbers for box dimensions would you be able to help me out with pricing and to achieve the goal of 4.0cu ft for 2 Ssa icons, I am trying to save as much space in the trunk as possible so depth is very limited but width isn't and height might be a little restriction but no biggy
