I think the sae 1000d to each would be awesome. But the 1500d would work just fine.....trust me.

sweet! how do you like those hc3800s?

It will help. I had a huge improvement when I added mine, but my elec wasnt great to begin with so everything added is a plus when it comes to batts. If you can go bigger do so, it will only help keep voltage up. It is way better than nothing at all.

you're going about this the wrong way I think. Two 12s=226.08 cone area vs 254.34 that the 18 has. two 15s is more than the 18 but you should try a different box design first. If that doesnt suffice I would get another q18 and do sealed. 3.5-4 cubes each I know is under spec but it prolly wont know much difference and it would keep you around 7.5 total which is close to where you are now.

That Zapco is a nice piece :fing34:

i understand that one. i just graduated, and I'm going back for extended courses.

Prolly would be a non beneficial move on Jakes part. It would be cheaper to purchase 2 1500d and strap em yourself

originally i was gonna run 2 sundown saz3000ds and 4 nightshades, but im running the fosgate amps because i can get a hella good deal on them. i dont know if those nightshade 12s could hang with over 8kw on tap... btls will tho Have you seen the new beasts sundown is testing now? There will be an option for a 12 layer coil that I'm shure will handle your thermal abuse.

I would do D2 wire coils parallel and turn all the levels like gain,boost, all the way down.

i want to know how they will look! the .1 heatsinks were very sexy and will be very hard to out due em.

yes it is stable. The better question is your electrical stable, thats the determining factor. power @ .5 = more than enough

I'm lost, does the sub still work? check the coils with a dmm. A failure in the coil could of caused a short which would mean no resistance to the amp. Hence blowing the fuses. If the sub works, check all other power & speaker wiring.

first off, i have to say that those are professional looking pictures,......job well done on that Next is congrats on some fine sundown equipment and hope it serves you well. Keep us informed on performance and maybe a vid or two.

Is that $360 for a DR 18 added to cart from here?

Call it the DTD which is the abreviation for (dusk to dawn). i erased it from my above post earlier, but you want letter designations right Jake?

If you're looking at daily music, Ah is what you want to cover extended current discharging during long play times. If you're doing burps, you would want to look at burst amps, short circuit amps, ca and things of this nature

yellow top is dual purpose, starting and deep cycle duties, and would be the better of the 2

You seemed to be on the right track with what you had before. I think you would have met your goals with a different enclosure design. Now you'll have more power, just need to get the enclosure right.

how bout: Dusk to Dawn Northern Light Night Storm Solar

You wont notice much difference in sound if at all. If you run 4 gauge please don't run that amp below a 2ohm load.

The smallest amp I had on mine was rated for 800wrms at the load I presented it with and it was enough output for satisfaction. If you're over 1500wrms to it daily, I would suggest keep your ears and nose on standby for anything the sub tells you it don't like.

you should be fine with that. i had mine in 5.75 sealed after all displacements, and it killed the lows. yours should be close in comparison.

Wow, that is plum full of sundown

I would love to see more people like this go with SSDs. I wonder why people think its not capable of doing damage for less invested.

Do it!
