Does anyone remember Cthedinger awesome deadener comparison tests? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0C-rJB3-r-c\ http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/47718-sound-deadener-on-a-roll/ He has shown to be very incompentent in the past and would do anything to sell his products. He has also made claims that his "engineers" reengineered old RD amplifiers to create CT sounds amplifiers. RD made some great products but their business model and customer service sucked. You know why you see a lot of these amps in the lanes? Would you turn down a free amplifier to stick in your vehicle?

I have a local friend out here in cali who has had two doas and one smoke instantly and he will be on his fourth amp so far. So yeah great quality

Well, I'm not bias, of any brand or equipment. Me personally, I'm not a fan of the owner himself. But that's not what we're talking about. If you are only concerned with the product and the product itself, the amps will do rated, as long as you have adequate electrical.

Did you go to your Vehicle's dealership to get an upgraded Alternator to work with your upgraded aftermarket stereo system ?? No, Most likely you went with someone that took the origional idea and made it better to work with your application. The aftermarket thing has been going on for years with cars and trucks. Where have you been brother ??I'm sure I will not be able to ease over the local Ford place to buy replacement parts for my 1949 model vehicle. I have no choice but to go aftermarket. Sorry brother, but this post is pure speculation. I have another friend that has a chevy Truck that is similar to mine. Well, His is a GMC and mine is Chevy. His has one of those well named audio aftermarket alternators on it and mine has a General Motors Upgrade off of a 3500 series chevy, but my truck is a 1500 series.Now when you set the alternators side by side, they are identical. If it wasn't for the aftermarket audio brand being powercoated, you could not tell which one is which. So did this well named audio brand (they have a section on this forum) steal ideas and / or parts from origional manufacturers ?? I don't know Guys. Maybe at the time of my friend's need of work being done, nothing was avialiable from IA. Out of stock ?? Who knows ?? But from what I was told, the PSI work got done in a very timely manner. the car analogy is pretty pathetic. find me one source to back up the idea that PSI can source replacement parts and rebuild a woofer to original spec. bottem line, if PSI could actually do this then companies like SSA or IA would probably advertise the service, right? wouldn't they want their customers to have access to quick reconing services? It should be obvious as to why they DO NOT endorse psi recones and recommend going to the manufacturer. A team member designed the enclosure for me. He designs all of our enclosures.I built the enclosure for this build. He Designed this enclosure to origional IA Flatline specs found on the net (So I'm told).I wish I could get my hands on an origional IA Flatline driver just so I can Swap drivers and see if I can tell a difference. I'm not trying to argue with anyone brother. I'm just posting my thoughts on a driver that I got to work with first hand. If anyone within a hundred miles or so from Jackson, Ms with an origional Flatline driver would like to meet up with me and compare drivers, Shoot me a PM so we can meet up some time. then the enclosure build was a complete fluke. no reason at all to believe that the new woofer and the original have the same T/s specs without measurement. except PSI is doing nothing to improve performance over the original.

he's asking specifically about Crescendo. The SSA sale is not for them.

HDS208 - The Baddest 8" woofer you'll ever encounter (Pricing and Availability to be announced)The HDS208, your cost efficient 8" woofer designed with familiar SoundQubed reliability and performance. Our HDS200 subs have been very successful and have became the blueprint for the HDS208 design. This woofer is a beast at 600W RMS, a cast frame, 2.5" copper coil and back plate venting to coil it in the tightest situations. The high efficiency starts with a strong 2.5" voice coil powered by a motor structure patterned after the energy model of the HDS2.5 structure. We like subs that can pound with authority and the HDS's play just like their bigger brothers. High temperature adhesives and coil wire ensure long therm reliable performance that is unheard of at these price points. The HDS208's double magnet motor is over-sized to provide high output levels with precision and control. The plates are coated with corrosion resistant epoxy paint which also increases the outflow of heat from the voice coil. The SoundQubed Street Duty 200 subwoofers are the new choice for savvy installers looking to combine high performance systems with a screaming deal. Features: 2.5" Coil Double Stacked Magnet Cast Basket Push ConnectorsVented Back Plate and Pole Piece17mm of throw (one way)

Hertz Components are pretty good. I like the HSK's better than the XL's. If you're interested in buying them at that shop, PM me and I can tell you what you should be paying for them, not what they're asking. A little knowledge goes a long way.

midbass should be better when installed in a properly sealed car door compared to the sound board. best to continue listening to installs where possible.

Do they do the same disconnected? Parasitic draws are a bitch, but the first step is isolating the batteries.

Here is a blast from the past.

cool story bro

Its going on right now, SSA tax return sale

you obviously dont understand subwoofer design. the correct softparts are absolutely vital to the subs performance. You misunderstand me. I'm saying that psi soft parts are not going to make that driver sound any better than it already did. In reality, it will degrade the driver, not help it.

I agree, but in the same sense, it takes a long time to get recones from Fi/SSA. Extra week or two for the parts designed for the sub is worth it.

That's ridiculous. Why would you not get new soft parts from the company who actually made the woofer?

Be careful your backup may become your number one starter! Nah, I'm interested in the Fi BL 12" i ordered these are just a great looking driver at a great price that I wouldn't mind using in case I ever had to send in the BL for some TLC, which given their good rep and my experience I shouldn't need to do. I'm just a dang addict and can't stop shopping for subs even though I've ordered one already...Lmao

Please refrain from post dumping in others for sale thread.If you don't like the price, keep it to yourself. Good luck with sale OP those are some great amplifiers

I've heard they can run 5k on stock electrical on a half ohm load, no second battery, 90 amp alternator. Also when you play good music through em, unicorns appear on your windshield.

Spend your money elsewhere

We've had 3 psi recones go mysteriously soft to the point where you could bottom them out with your hand. One coil go mysteriously bad. So I tend to say no to psi.

Please refrain from post dumping in others for sale thread.If you don't like the price, keep it to yourself. Good luck with sale OP those are some great amplifiers My apologies. Thought I was simply making funnies. Won't happen again.
