  1. They are awesome dogs. I had a couple when I was younger and would love one for my next.
  2. *Can't go wrong. I run a 15" FI btl, which can handle a ton of abuse. That said there are more musical subs out there that can handle a lot of power. As Pusifer stated the SSA Xcon (and other ssa subs) sound great musically and get stupid loud. You might want to check out the SSA EVIL too. I have a 15" SSA Dcon also and it has amazing output on 400 watts. As far as amps go, 2000watts is 2000watts. So get a brand you like/trust and has good CS and you can't go wrong. Any amp over a 1000watts or so will require some electrical upgrades to your ride to preform properly. So take that into consideration. My sub box for the btl is 6.3 cu ft total. The Dcons is only like 3.5 cu ft total. So definetly make sure you are willing to sacrifice your whole cargo area if you are going with a super high powered 15".
  3. The Zcon and Xcon are SSA brand subs and are built in the USA. The Zed amps are also built in the USA. You can go wrong with either brand. Hard to find USA built amps without track down some old school goodness.
  4. If it was my money I would get the sundown amp. For a sub I would grab a Xcon or a Zcon.
  5. I understand wanting a sub that's capable of getting violent. I have a 15" FI BTL in my SQ build. Which is why I say you won't be anywhere near the subs limit to get loud and clear. Which leaves you some headroom when you want to wail on it. The question is rhetorical because both options are capable of producing the same output if set up properly. You will not hear a difference between the two options so choose what fits your MO.
  6. Rtv silocone stays soft and flexable when dried. Is easy to shape. If you want it real smooth looking use wax paper after you apply but before dry. Then romove the wax paper after dried.
  7. Have an awesome b-day!!!!
  8. Show them who is the alpha of the pack. She knows who the alpha is. She just seems to forget for about 3/4 of the walk. The first and last 1/8th she is fine. Beyond that she keeps trying to pull like a sled dog. J I put the leash under one of the front legs. Seems to help. Makes them pull their head towards the ground when they pull.

  10. Either 15" would be a great choice. IF this is truly for SQ then you will most likely not be pushing either sub anywhere close to its limits. Giving you headroom, which is good. Enclosure design will dictate which one sounds better more than anything. Make sure you are willing to sacrifice the space required for the proper enclosure for a 15". Which can easily be upwards of 5+ cuft. A smaller sub in the right enclosure will sound better than a big sub in the wrong enclosure. Speakers/subs are stupid in the sense that they only do what you tell them to do, through enclosure design, tuning, signal, etc.
  11. I use black RTV silicone to patch holes like this. Doesn't have to be black, but that's the least noticeable.
  12. Do you have a GFI breaker?Nope. I added a sub panel next to the main as the box was full. There's no breaker at the hot tub.The GFI is a safety to make sure you don't get electrocuted if the heater grounds out. I guess I like living on the edge. The tub is hard wired to the breaker panel and I skipped the GFCI breaker cause I'm cheap like that.
  13. How are you going to fit it in your carry on? Something tells me he'll be shipping it highly insured. Great find Sean!! J SCORE!!! Good to know i'm not the only one trolling CL when I'm out of town.
  14. A machine screw should work for the set screw on the amp. Hot glue for the crossover fix. You right, sealing off that truck will eliminate trunk rattle in that car. The roof panel will be the next to rattle. lol I have some 6.5 pods built for that car if interested. They get the 6.5 on axis with the drivers seat.
  15. Band aids and triple antibiotic ointment. I should have stock as I am usually nursing a few gapers on the fingers.
  16. Do you have a GFI breaker? Nope. I added a sub panel next to the main as the box was full. There's no breaker at the hot tub.
  17. The kerfed port will help with air flow. This will help minimize any added artificial sound created by air leaving the port. That's the theory anyways.
  18. I am into my tub around a grand after a new power panel, new cover and plumbing. Wish I had pics from doing the plumbing. Was a fun job. Not sure of the cost to run mine. I made sure to get one that only needed a 30amp breaker so shouldn't be to bad.
  19. There's some pretty nice ones available now a days. Built in sound, waterfalls and foot jets! I'm always tempted when I go window shopping.I would really love an indoor spa unit with steam and wall sprayers even more!
  20. Looks like the Broncos choked again. Face palm
  21. The fucked up thing is the last two people that died, had stopped to help another person change their tire. Makes it hard to want to be a good samaritan.
  22. On my way to work of course.
  23. Wtf were you doin??? Changing a tire in a white out on the side of the interstate in a canyon after hitting a rock. Lucky I had snow boots on atleast.
  24. Hills are prone to rock slides with a lot of perspiration. So not only was I worried about the semi's flying by, but a rock slide too.
  25. don't drive over 55!!! lol That's what they say. Lol It dumped 6" this morning so will be crawling home anyways.
