Do you mean that you have an underhood battery AND an HC1800 battery? Depending on how much of a basshead you are that might work fine. Your 105 amp alternator is a big limiting factor... and also, can you fit an HC2400? That would be much better suited to 3,000+ watts.

Correct, the 100.2 will not handle a 2 ohm bridged load. It is 4 ohm stable in bridged mode, or 2 ohm stable in stereo mode. Your only option for stable wiring on the 100.2 is 8 ohms bridged.

Indeed... I need to look into doing something in the manual. It seems obvious to me, but I guess that is because I make the amps.

Steve will have these packages going for a while.

And yes... that is a Lucinda Williams CD. I forgot to decline that one from BMG Music so I got it *laughs* Oh well, it earned me two free CDs with them

Sundown Audio has been selling off used, b-stock, and refurbished amplifiers as well as other miscellaneous items that need to be sold on e-bay for the last two weeks. So far it has been off to a promising start. If you want to see what is up for sale at any given time check auctions from "sundownz" on e-bay: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsundownzQQhtZ-1 Usually it will be various amplifiers... occasionally other items will be for sale that either belong to me or were somehow acquired by Sundown Audio.

I've been to Oak Island if that counts I'm in Mooresville, a pretty good drive from you.

It does not matter. The + terminals are connected together inside as are the - terminals.

I am dealing with the circle problem right now. My jigsaw is not having fun cutting through 2.25 inches of mdf. The most my jigsaw has done is 1.5" and that was about it's maximum. You should probably cut one sheet at a time I need one of those jigs like Rich has for the router. That is the only way to do it if you do much box building at all.

Congrats! What was your actual score?

http://www.tcsounds.com/tc2000.htm 2x TC-2000 15" Dual 4 ohm Coils Wire all four coils in parallel for a 1 ohm load. Those subs would be okay sealed but really cry out for porting.

Do you have a budget in mind for the 15s? That will help alot in picking them out

No reason for a line driver in your system. Take it out, 2 volts is just fine. Less items in the signal chain the better, IMHO

It does have remote knob and manual. The knob is a remote gain.

The factory refurbished units have a 90-day warranty, if you look at the auction page it has the information. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 Right below item description.

Looks perfect Rich, much better than my creation for sure I need to get a table saw because I am completely fired from making straight cuts with a circular saw. Now... I can cut a hella circle with a jig saw... but straight lines are another story

ALSO POSTED IN 3000D POWER TEST THREAD: Alrighty... so I abused the infamous Pyramid power supply a bit more today. Same setup I've been using for other clamp tests: Pyramid 50 Amp Power Supply 8 AWG from supply to batteries Kinetik 2400 Battery Duralast 1000 CA Battery 2 AWG between batteries 4 AWG from batteries to amp Fluke AC current / voltage meter Sears DMM Measurements: 65.8 volts 49.2 Amps 1.33 ohm calculated rise from 0.6 ohm DCR ** 3237 Watts 14.4 volts rest dropping to 10.75 volts ** - Rise was higher than when I tested the 1500D, it was 1.08 ohms for that test. Presumably since my single run of 12 AWG speaker wire is heating up some much due to the extra power. I also did a few test runs at lower volume so the coils were warmer as well. I really need a much more powerful power supply for this test. Pretty well simulates a stock Honda alternator or something, though! I didn't try to push for more volume on the test HU... I may do that later, but the voltage drop was getting so bad I didn't want to damage the amp from under-voltage.

The BTL doesn't sound bad per-se, it's just not an SQ woofer.

You will love the 100.2 for sure. It is an absolute monster of a "little" amp The 9515 does well with 2x 1500Ds, but be advised that it is possible to damage a 9500 with a pair of the 1500Ds. I have seen it happen with overzealous gain settings.

That one is about 3 feet, actually. It is esoteric audio: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=186-002 They come in pairs, but L and R are separate cables entirely so you can split them up and use them as mono If all else fails... the CHEAPEST RCA cables that you can possibly buy always work. I've heard of problems with several more expensive brands, namely Stinger and Memphis so far, but never with bottom line RCAs. These work great: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=263-400 I have used this specific model... it is even very short at only 20 inches. Tear it down the center and you have two mono strapping cables! I may even start including one of those with each mono class-D amplifier... I just e-mailed Parts Express about buying a ton of them to put in the boxes.

Scott, Good idea on the peanut sticky... I've been sent woofers in peanuts and it's not pretty! Not only do they not do a good job... they get all in the motor, very nasty indeed. Had a kid pay a packing shop to sent me a pair of 18" BTLs as part of a trade... they used *only* packing peanuts. The boxes sat at a 45 degree angle when they arrived and were full of metal pieces that used to be speakers and motors rolling around jammed with peanuts in the gap. Fun times Good thing he paid the shipping store, they were an authorized ship center so FedEx had to pay up!

Indeed, sounds like it needs more juice.

Chad Hicks measured his at 2500 watts @ 2.5 ohms with 16 volts. If I can modify my test box to hold the DD 9512s that I have I can get "somewhat" 12 volt ratings. My voltage will drop, if I'm lucky, to 11 volts or so... quite possibly less. If I get some time this weekend I'll try to round up a few more batteries to hook up to the trusty Pyramid power supply

Second Skin for the win... it's expensive but it kicks butt.
