  1. When!?! Soon, I hope!!!!!! Only thing that sucks is having 2 different battery setups for the truck, one for StreetMax, and one for NSPL Wall 401-1200. I'm concentrating on StreetMax first, so it'll be a while until I actually put the 16V stuff in the truck, probably right before the April show here. But if I need to test, it's no big deal to swap them out. New StreetMax battery should be here next week, not the CS monster like others got though, just a simple little battery.............lol
  2. Hopefully I can get the truck up and running by then, and I'll be there
  3. I probably won't ever run them at 18.7 volts, but 17.7 starting volts is probably about where it'll start at.
  4. well, that stinks... I'm trying to get brakes in the StreetMax truck I'm building this weekend.
  5. Jacob told me about this yesterday, I was laughing uncontrollably. That car has some potential.
  6. I know I don't post much, but I'm impatiently waiting these subs. Nothing has sounded good to me since I took my Mag out of the car, so I can't wait to get another one in there.
  7. Anything Jacob wants me to Just checking the adjustable regulator for the truck I'm rebuilding
  8. You're such a pimp, I don't have the words to describe it......
  9. yeah, but the truck will do over a 155 from like 20hz and up........lol
  10. I'll be taking 4 of those soon for the truck, guess it's time to sell the old style ones, just can't mix and match.......lol
  11. I don't think he's changed anything yet, although with all the demo time, the burp scores are starting to fade. I feel sorry for those MTs, Jacob puts a serious hurting on them when it comes to demos, he doesn't hold anything back.
  12. I work with a lot of people who don't speak English very well, so I think I've got you figured out. You would like to know the results that people have had in clamping the Sundown amps and at what voltage. I clamped my 1500d at 1580 watts at 12.2v and 1.4 ohms I clamped my 3000d at 3620 wattts at 13.2v and 1.2 ohms Additional results can be found here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=9398 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=9952 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7900 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7116 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7117
  13. You'd actually be surprised Jim, the upstate tweeter's crossover makes them very soft, I didn't even think mine were playing at first, but they made a difference in the staging in my car, but my car isn't setup for sq, just to look great and sound good to the average Joe. I was actually amazed in my car the difference in the CDT upstage setup. But again, my car isn't SQ, just a nice sounding daily driver.

    I was loving the pics until I got to the seats.
  15. You should come visit me at work then denim. If the timing's right, I'd get them to let you pull the tail on a big gun, M109A6 Paladin.

    Jacob, are you keeping the SD-1's in there? I've got a new box for 2 10's if you wanna try it out, it's pretty small, but seems to perform well.
  17. Some of us are getting tired of waiting, Nick......... I should have never got rid of my Mag 15, I haven't been happy with anything since that.

    So, I guess they finally offered you a satisfactory price on trade in for the Honda?
  19. Thanks man, shoot me a message as soon as the 21's are ready, I have a need for 2 of them.
  20. great scores for that amount of power, congrats
  21. I know the cones aren't ready for the 21's yet, but the baskets are there, so what's the cutout sizes on both of those, so I can decide which one would work best for my situation?
  22. I'm fairly impressed so far with this subwoofer. A few people heard it today, and couldn't believe I was running a single 12. 1st off, if you're looking for a nice, civilized subwoofer, this isn't it. When you want something just to break doors down and steal your oldest daughter, this could possibly be the subwoofer. While comparing it with the DD 9512 directly, it has better musical abilities than the DD, and doesn't give up much at all in pure loudness to the DD. I'll have them both on the meter later this week, so I'll know exact numbers then. My 1st impression after setting the gains to give the sub a clean 1500rms, which is rated power was that this thing needs more. I then bumped it up to right at 3000 watts, and in the 6th order, it seemed to be a bit overkill. I could get the sub to stink rather easily, although it cooled off extremely fast once I backed down a bit. The cooling system seems to work extraordinarily well on this sub. I kind of figured in a 6th order, 3000rms may be a bit much, but decided to give it hell anyways. Although I would feel comfortable doing bassrace in the bandpass with 3000 watts in my setup. I think that for daily driving, 2000-2200 watts would be perfect. Since there are really no posted T/S parameters on these, I'm going to place a guess that the Fs is in the low 40hz range. Couple that with the fact that my box peaks at 44hz, and my car peaks at 44 hz, this sub can only be described as brutal. It doesn't have that mechanical sound that I've come to hear from most SPL oriented drivers, especially the DD 9500's, which is great. It's a bit smoother sounding, but at least in my setup, where everything kind of collides at 44hz, this sub is a beast. If I wasn't enjoying it so much, I'd do some max power testing on burps, but I'm sure IA has already done that, so I'll stick with around 3000rms on it, and continue to just smile when people don't believe it's only a single 12.
  23. re-set the gains, adjusted the EQ, and I'm ready to make my short review after a 4 hour drive to SC and back tonight. I'm fairly impressed so far with this subwoofer.
