The wife convinced me to see Driver the other night. What a terrible movie.

Aren't the dimensions listed on the website ? Yes but I was just double checking.

Not voltage but speaker ohms make the difference. That is an ignorant statement. They both make a difference in this instance. Thats why I gave him an example. If he needs a different ohm load then he can adjust the formula. If the ohms change then the voltage changes also.

I believe that tutorial is a good start. But not an end all for setting the gain on the amplifier.

Pmureika, I would still like to know this other formula. Always nice to learn new things. Especially if it makes it easier to set amplifier gain correctly.

Can someone verify the SAX125.2 and SAZ1200D are the same case size?

Your ears are more reliable. Plus the markings on the amplifier are usually off because they are just printed on all the same. So I would never trust just setting the amplifier to 4 volts (example) just because thats your headunit preout voltage. With a dmm. They both get you close. Thats what I told him to do. But he needed to know the voltage to set it to. He didnt know how to figure out the correct setting. I am talking he can use a formula to figure the 38 volts using the head unit voltage and amp rating. You mean the way I told him? OP here is the way to set it as given on this website. I already stated this. Amplifier gain No different formula. I would like to know another formula

Last time I looked he had an IB setup and the amplifiers a processing equipment were in the spare tire well.

Maserati version of the Dodge Durango/ Jeep Liberty is coming soon supposedly.

Dodge says 160amp. You are correct OP.

He needs to know the voltage output of his head unit. Not if he's using this method. Dont agree . And why not? If you play a 50/60hz tone on your headunit, turn the volume up to 3/4 volume, plug your dmm into the outputs of the amp, turn the amp to ac voltage, and set the gain to the given voltage(which is 38.73volts). Why would you need to know the voltage output of the headunit?

I wonder if this is undercutting the SSA store.

So you want 1500 @ 1 ohms? 1500wrms x 1ohms = 1500. Square root of 1500 = 38.73volts. Better to use your ears. But this gives you a good starting point at least.

Birch wood is found at home depot or lowes. I don't know what you are asking about what it is? It can be found near all the other wood.

Honestly I would pay for someone to design it for you. Ram_Designs and Bromo on SSA will help and are very good. If you want to try to design it for yourself: Fourth Order Bandpass Sixth Order Bandpass I would use MDF or Birch wood for the construction. Birch if you want to save weight. MDF if you want to save money. 3/4" either way.

Just because I like the like the look of them, I would choose the LI's.

Either will work well for you. Both subwoofers are high quality and both are made by a+ companies.

Welcome to SSA. What kind of power are you using?

My ML63 has been rather uneventful to own, but for its class and price it should be nicer What year is it? If I have any real complaints, its that this damn thing has too many features. I guess thats what happens when you tell the dealer to fully load it except the AMG performance package. The safety features are kind of ridiculous. The car shakes the steering wheel if you get to close to the center line. If you get to close the the edge of the road line it shakes the wheel and slows you down.

Just signed up for google plus. Anyone else have it yet? Trying to get more people to sign up.
