So... ill be buying an amp tomorrow... and I found a used saz2000d for $400 shipped. Heard absolutely nothing but good about Sundown. I also found a new Soundstream DTR1.2200d for $260 shipped. (Woofersetc dot com) I've searched and haven't found any complaints on them. I was just wondering what us the upside of buying the sundown for about $140 more with 200 less watts. Or the the downside of buying the Soundstream. This will be powering a XCON 18" D2.

someone on SSA used a clay compound behind the speakers before, that kind of trick should insulate the back of your tweeters and mids as well... Obviously need to put a "shield or median" between the speaker and clay... Someone help me explain this:? Hmmmm.....

Thanks man. First install ever. Im fairly impressed with myself.

Looking to buy a saz2000d next friday.

Subscribed.

^ Haha. Agreed

Well if it has the badge... it must be real! :sarcastic: just like a while ago when I saw a Ford Taurus with a SS badge on it. So now I kno they make Taurus SS's. And yes i said a FORD ... HAHA!

im VERY happy with my Bravox carbon fiber comps. i have 6.5in. although they are out of them in the SSA store... i think they have one set of 5 1/4 left. adapters? they really are great. there is a nice in depth review somewhere on here. good liuck edit- and they are also only 195.

Gracias! i really like how clean it looks. only thing i dont like is i cant have my window down even when its drizzling. cuz it drips right to where my tweeter is. lol. but its ok. on another note... i really hate that im gonna have to get a HO alt. but i gotta do what i gotta do. i dont want to skip out on stuff. i will be running a saz2000D most likely. and my boss/zed amp. 270amp should suffice right? my main thing is that if i do a HO alt, then i would like no extra batts...but i would upgrade my primary batt. XS-something... so opinions on my electrical situation? my camry is a V6. 80amp stock alt. ha... what a joke.

pics as promised! sorry for some of them. my Droid camera acts up some times. car stripped couldnt get "thru" the grommet. so i went around. running speaker wire doors and door panels. tweeters are flush mounted. final. (i need a new door handle and handle surrounds) lol. and i have the stock tweeter covers. just gotta put them on. What you guys think?! not bad for first install right? opinions welcome. thanks -jonathan

hmm... ok. i will turn the bass to "0". uploding pics now. thanks.

sorry for the slowness. i FINALLY got my laptop back from HP. (my HD crashed) it only been like 8months too. ugh... Anyways, i got my front stage done. ill post pics a lil later tonight. i mounted the xovers in my door panel pockets. look pretty good. i could have done beter on the hole which the wires run thru. i know how there is people sayin use rear fill, dont use rear fill, use it etc etc... well i dont think i will be. it sounds so good right now. now as for bridging the amp for the front comps... im not sure about that. i have my gain about a 3rd of the way up. and bass about a 4th way up. and cant go past about 22 on most songs w/o being distorted. now, i have never tuned an amp, or anything like that. so maybe i have one too high? im not sure. maybe someone could chime in. but they do sound AWESOME. soo.... Bravox comps ~ A Zed/Boss rev-665 ~ A Knu 8ga Klear amp kit ~ B. kit was perfect... except for the remote wire being connected to the RCAs. so i had already ran it from thr HU and tucked it before i npoticed that the remote wire is on the opposite side of the RCAs. so i pretty much had to pull the remote wire off from the RCAs. well, in the process of doing that, i tore the sleeve on the rem wire. so i had to use electrical tape to patch that up. but anyways... everything turned out good. pics later. INPUT on amp settig plz. thanks

yea. true. for $100, cant complain. keep us posted!

hmm... idk if i could do that. lol. but for you! i want to see this get started soon.

o man. this thing is a beast. and of course, less than a month after i get my XCON, this comes around. lol. its ok, ill be fine with a XCON . just need a amp.

2003 SVT Cobra. O my gawd.... my buddy has one. After a couple small mods, makin about 600hp to the wheels. GREAT CHOICE!

Ssf= sub-sonic filter.

Good to know. So... I will be needing a alt in about a month.

Been following this thread for a good while now. Its rediculous. I will need a h/o alt soon. And now I might go with someone else...good luck op. -Jonathan

Thanks everyone. Ill be updating my build log when im done for the day.

So many different views on this subject. Keep them comin.

Are u saying the amp is 85wx4 peak? On the group buy thread is says Rms. Bravox speakers are 80 Rms. And in my wagon, my rear speakers are on my hatch. Behind where my sub will be.

Im going to try both ways. I will Probly put the rears in and keep them in untill I get my amp for my XCON. Then if I like them with the sub, the ill keep them. If I don't then ill bridge the amp for the components. If I were to bridge them later... would I still need the 2nd rca? Or a splitter? Sorry if these r" simple" questions for you guys. This is my first install whatsoever. thanks.

I am till debating that. But just to hear then... would just using the 2channels work?

Well im almost done with my Bravox components install and I was wonderin, could I just hook those up to 2 of the channels and not use the rear. No bridging... just using the 2 channels alone. I just want to hear them before I install my rear. Thanks.
