I was looking around on some forums and i saw http://www.****/forum/showthread.php?t=61103 I wondered why you would need that, so i looked at his build log and found http://www.****/forum/showthread.php?t=64796 Wow, well i guess i can't say Car Audio classifieds.So just copy and replace the "****" with car audio classifieds So this raises a couple of questions for me, i am still new to car audio, well the big league car audio anyways. Why does he need that many 1/0 gauge wires running to his sundown amp? I understand that maybe the resistance is less but still... Do i need to do something similar? Also, i noticed he has two sets of power, how exactly does that work? Is it one straight from the alt to the back, or is it two from the front battery? What is the best wire setup for a 4500D? And lastly, i still do not understand why sundown audio amps have two sets of power in, i don't know how to use them either. Answers would be awesome!! I know that many of you guys out there know pretty much everything and this sounds pretty dumb but i just would really enjoy understanding all of this.

Bumping because everyone needs to be there/see this!

JACKHAMMER BRO. Lol. Honestly, jk x10

If your interested, please post up that you plan on going! It would be nice to have a gauge of how many people are going!!

Alright guys, so i have been constantly complaining about not having a meet. Well here we are! An offical SSA meet to showcase SSA. We are going to the Scottsdale Pavilions and we are gonna mob there together. Here is the plan, we are going to meet at Agua park and then mob up the street to the pavilions, if your confused... CLICK HERE FOR A VISUAL EXPLANATION! Meet here at 5:45 and then we leave at 6! Please be on time! It would be a lot better if all of us mob in together instead of pockets of people coming in one at a time, if you have any questions, comments, please feel free to post below! Also, please continue to check in because times may change!! We already have four members of SSA officially going! Don't be left out! Also i will be getting Youtube coverage if that interests anyone lol

Haha thanks, will do! Video too Haha i'm trying! I already hit above a 140. I have a 143.3. And my box isn't even done, nor do i have a big amp pushing my woofersDon't know why then my roof is rattling like shit lol. No dude, mine does too. I know exactly what you mean. What i do though to help is take the sunroof and open it just a crack. That way it can just move up and down and not rattle. I know what you mean though man

I already hit above a 140. I have a 143.3. And my box isn't even done, nor do i have a big amp pushing my woofers

Thank you. Ugh yeah, it pisses me off so much. I found out though, if you pull the "moon roof" (i'm told that's whats in my accord) back a bit, it doesn't rattle as much

So there is a lot done. Just haven't taken picture of it. Sorry. But i do have pictures of some "new" upgrades. I use quotes because this is kinda old for me lol. Yeah no cut off yet, they are projectors, but still don't shine in any ones face. Security light Viper

Heck yeah dude. Lets have a meet lol!

So we got "rained out." Which is good and bad. Everyone got to do a run of SPL and then either this coming weekend or next weekend, dave is going to plan another show to finish the runs. If you didn't come out this weekend, come out to this next one!! You would've been okay. We didn't do any testing till like 1-3. I just say 1-3 because i don't remember the times that well. It was kinda crazy

I talked to Dave myself today and he said the show will still go on! Be there! Also, stef, i was planning on it bro!

Haha just a bit. Looking at that last post i posted, that was super creepy. Haha. But seriously come man. No maybes

I have 2 18 inch DC level 4 with 5 softparts in them in a wall in the back of my Accord. I'm not spoiled. I have paid for everything in and about my system. And the amp for now is a 1800 kenwood (lol) till i get a 3.5k DC amp. Hey and just yesterday, i was bumping at a red light, this guy that pulled over to the right of me with his wife was saying something, so i turned down my music and then he goes, "dang that's pretty loud but check this out" and turns up his stock speakers as loud as they can go. We both laughed and his wife was pissed. Then i played another bass song for him and he gave me the thumbs up when the light turned green. I had like 4 experiences like that yesterday alone. Plus, if no one plays their bass loud, how will you know what other of "us" are out there? I have given demos to random people and i have been pulled over by people for demos. Couldn't have happened if i didn't play it loud.

Well duh. It's stuff like that that gets real audio enthusiasts get into trouble. Maybe. But i don't understand why it's okay for cars to rev their engines when they have a exhaust on and not get into trouble or ruin their "sport." I don't understand why motorcycles can be loud and also rev their engines at people without any consequences. Yes, we can turn down our volume, but they can quiet their cars/motorcycles too. I play at full tilt 24.7 unless i am in a neighborhood. It's legal to a certain extent and i am going to do it. I might think about stopping once motorcycles and loud cars "turn down" their shit first. If you don't like it, roll up your window. If you can still hear it, get over it or stop driving around with the risk of having to hear it

Glad you got everything figured out! I was about to post about how i have a Kenwood 1800 watt amp and that thing always gets hot but plays like a champ. I do understand what you mean when you say limiter in the amp itself. But i am glad you got an amp you wanted and you could always look into get a DC amp

Dude... If i have to find out where you live, Google [ ] map stalk you [ ], find your number [ ], and drag you out to get you there. I will. I promise bro

Just wanted to bump and say to all of you AZ bass lovers out there... Show up!! I know me and another team member will be there! If you want to ride in with us, send me a PM!

I know for a fact Clay is making the meet. You have to come man! You gotta see my unfinished ghetto wall!!

:facepalm:

Um, depends. Some people think it does and some people think it doesn't. In my opinion it does but not in a horrible way. Yeah that's what i am talking about. Try to get it flush with the false floor

Lol he said not from Ebay either

For heat dissipation and cooling = What you could do, but which would take a bit of work. Put in the false floor and amp rack. Carpet over all of it make it look "pretty." Then get small squares of 2x4's and screw them in to where your amp would normally screw in to the amp rack. So this way, you are actually raising up the amp and putting more space between the amp rack and the amp itself. I hope that's not too confusing... So what your saying is do not mount the amp straight onto a piece of wood? Basiclly give the amp space on the top (the cutout in the floor) and the bottom (the small squares that are attached to the bottom floor) Um... You can mount it on to a piece of wood but if you want it to look good then carpet it. I am saying to put small 2x4's inbetween your amp rack and your amp. So there is a gap under the amp for it to "breathe." And then I'm not sure what you mean when you are talking about the cutout in the floor. Maybe i didn't read your first post correctly but where are you trying to install this amp? In your trunk? Backseat?

Not to be rude, but that's all that's really out there. There isn't much need for different ones. I suppose if you really want a different one, buy a stinger volt meter and then take it apart and make it look how you want to. But i am guessing you don't want to do that much work for a volt meter. So i recommend just getting a stinger

the carpet does come out in one piece for my celica. but do you raise the floor like 2"s or what? I believe the saz1500d is over 2" in height, so that wouldn't work for ya now would it The more space between the amps and false floor, the more heat dissipation and cooling. Im thinking of rasing the floor about 4 inches. As far as integrating a sealed enclosure with the floor? Do I just set the box on top of the false floor or do you guys have anymore ideas? You could always build the encloser to fit your trunk space. As in, you could build the box to fit the part under the carpet, have the sub firing towards the roof, then to finish it, put a false floor around the sub. Make it look nice and maybe even sparkle lol?
