It's possible that the interface is limited to 2 or 3 gb. That would explain why your 4 gb and hard drive wouldn't work, but your 2 gb would. Check the file system of the 2 gb flash drive and see if it is different than the 4 gb or the hard drive. Also, list your head unit and maybe I can look it up for you.

ok thanks so my next question is how do i partion it i new to this or get it to fat32 like my 4g flash drive my whole goal is to make the portable hd do what the flash drive is doing and addind more songs and movies. Thanks In Windows, right click the drive (make sure it's the right one!) and select format. You should be able to select FAT 32 under file system. This will erase all of the data on the drive so if there is anything you want on it, make sure to copy the files from the portable hard drive before you format it.

Found this again today. This is one of the vids that got me excited when I was waitin for my Leathals to arrive. Nice setup bro. That shit is slammin for 1 12! Thanks! Pretty soon I'm going to get another vid up because it's slamming even harder now after I changed the placement of the enclosure. I'll let you know when I do.

That is pretty much what happened to me. At first I had set my gains by ear, and I did get that smell. I backed down the gains for a while. After the sub broke in, I had done a few different things in my car and I figured I would reset the gain. It's much louder now and I do not get that smell anymore. Hope it is the same for you.

Seems a little strange to me. Are you sure you weren't sending a clipped signal? I think you should double check your gains and set them with a dmm or o-scope when you get the recones. Whoops, sorry I now see that you already know how to do this and I must have forgot to hit refresh before I replied...

You are really giving it that much? I have my amp set to 600rms and it is beating the hell out of me and my car. Hard to believe you are giving it that much power. Well I really like to have it loud lol. My car is built pretty solid for the most part, and I deadened the trunk a few weeks ago. The only part that worries me (for my future setup) is that my sunroof and roof flex pretty bad, but it's cool at the same time haha. It's good to hear that you are enjoying it though.

IA LI's are awesome. Just sayin'

Yeah I know what you mean. My one sub blew me out of the water once I got it in the car, and it got much louder after the break in period. It still surprises me every day lol. I am giving it about 1k rms (according to my dmm, seems a little high for just one RF punch 500-2 lol) and it takes it like a champ. I'll have to get another vid up soon.

Nice man! I wish I had bought two when I was ordering mine lol

I've had great experiences with it. When I first put it in, I was like man that sounds awesome. I sounded a lot better than my old rockford fosgate punch 3 sound quality wise. It's pretty clear and I love it. The only negative I noticed (this could be my car, enclosure, etc. so don't go by this) is it is a little bottom heavy. That's why I'm leaning towards the SSA Xcon for my next install. This thing does get loud as hell though, it still surprises me for one single 12" that didn't break the bank. It really is all in the enclosure though, so as long as you get a good one it will make you smile. Also, it really does get louder over time as it breaks in. It's kind of rediculous how much louder it got from what it originally was like. I hope you have as good of an experience as I did, this sub is going to continue pounding in my room after I get a new setup for my car. I have a video up if you want to take a look . I have to make another one soon, I actually set it up a little differently now and it pounds even harder.Good Luck man!

Try changing the batteries on the dmm. Sometimes they can give strange readings if they are dying, and it can be hard to tell if the batteries are almost dead. Also, double check that you are using the correct setting.

I would go with the Rockford myself.

I haven't run any ssa subs yet, but I have researched them quite a bit. They aren't really geared for spl, but they can get pretty loud. These subs are made with sound quality at the top of the list (It would seem), and spl second. They can get amazingly loud and sound really good doing it. All of their subs can be run sealed or ported and hold their own in either enclosure. I think that is what I find amazing about these subs. I hope someone else can chime in with some personal experience.

Hey- Just wanted to share the temporary amp rack I made just until I get my next set up. Came out pretty good considering I really suck at wood work lol. Also as a side note, I decided to use my dmm to see how many watts my amp was putting out because I set it by ear a long time ago. My Punch 500-2 is somehow outputting ~1000 watts, which would explain the terrible efficiency and voltage drop. Sorry for the poor quality, my camera was dead at the time. I should have taken a few other shots too, but its basically a simple wedge design.

RF Punch 500-2 is a good amp for it . Basically anything that will do the rated rms that is a reputable company. RF, Sundown, Kicker, etc. Just stay away from those $20 ebay pos amps lol.

This is awesome! I can't wait to see more about this.

I love my lethal injection and I'd recommend it, but I have not heard the SA 12s, so I guess it would come down to flipping a coin or doing extensive research and figuring out which one fits your needs more. I know videos don't do setup's much justice, but if it helps you at all, take a look at my video of my lethal injection. Good luck! I'm sure either set up will be awesome.

I'm sure Don will call, he's a great guy. I talked to him recently when I bought some CLD tiles. Sounds like a nice project, I'd love to see how it turns out as I am considering doing some barriers in the future.

I'd tune to 32 hz for mostly rap and heavy low stuff, and 35 if you want a mix of rap, hip hop, and metal. I have mine tuned to 32 hz and it plays metal ok, but it would definitely be better at 35. I mostly listen to rap though, so 32 hz is fine for me. If you want to see it in action, take a look at my video

Awesome!! I can't wait to see them!

Are you still planning on adding double ported/sealed designs? I'm interested to see a dual 15" xcon optimal ported design, that would be sweet. Nice work btw.

Have you tried contacting the store? Maybe they could send you the bluetooth adapter because they messed up.

Pioneer 5000UB, Punch 500-2, and a Punch Stage 3 12" sub. Speaker upgrades a such came later, but it was awesome when I first got it.

Loving the build man! I was thinking of doing something similar for my enclosure in the future because of my weird trunk shape, but I just don't think I have the skills to make it. I'm very excited to see the results!

Looks good man! Can't wait to hear how it turns out.
