  2. Post a pic of your a pillars and doors.
  3. Damn get that thing back on the meter.
  4. 2 grand is plenty for a "sq" set up. Agreed, a sound quality setup is more about the install and driver placement than spending big bucks. And, appearance of the install and what the judge wants to hear. Sorry, there is too much subjectivity and things out of the competitors control to take any "SQ" competition that includes appearance and no objective testing, seriously. And that is why my new setup will be tuned to my liking. Once I get finished I might enter in a comp just to see how it does, but in the end I am the only person that I'm trying to impress.

  6. Yes. But make sure that your starting point is set correctly.
  7. Between the two, if they are properly setup the Bl should be better for spl. I would look for a different amp though.
  8. How do you know this? I have personally owned 2 Audiopipe amps and have installed 4 and I have never had a problem with the knob. As far as I know it's a remote gain knob. It reduces the output to near-nothing when it's all the way down (like the actual gain setting on your amp), whereas a "boost" knob wouldn't do that...I have had AP and AQX series also. And if he says "if we turn it down any more there is barely any bass" then isn't that setting the gain by ear, like most of us suggest? I don't doubt he grossly overpowered them but...I distinctly remember a thread where everyone was bashing the SMD DD-1 with comments like "use your ears!" and now we're here...lol I figured I'd post this and admit my defeat. I emailed audiopipe asking about the knob and this is what I got: Thank you for your interest in our product, I will be happy to help you. The included knobs on the AP series class D amps control gain/signal and not bass boost. Thank you, David Thornton
  9. Awesome Stefan! One of these days we will get together man. We both switch up our gear so often it is hard to time it right. It is funny that we will both be running the same sub stage. Good luck with your build I REALLY look forward to hearing it.
  10. That is awesome! As far as the FCON goes I'm super excited. I'm going to jam the ICON 18 in until I can pick up a few FCON's.
  11. LOL, I wish this was so. Thanks though. I could always get better IMHO. Haha yeah we could all be bigger, but you do good work. And you have an awesome audio company that provides top notch product with awesome customer service. You're doing something right. Well thank you sir. I work very hard to be the best I can at everything I do. Glad to see it shows a little I hope that you know it does. I can honestly say in a business full of shady people you and Aaron are doing great things.
  12. Damn you are all over the place!

  14. Yeah I hear ya. Why did you buy the 6 if you were worried about speed?
  15. Install it and see where you are at. That is the best advice that I can give you.
  16. Looks sick man.
  17. I would take the Subaru all day over your Stang. But if you have to sacrifice the audio
  18. I have: All the wiring Skar 800.1D amp Sundown SA-12 D4 Alpine CDE 9881 HU Alpine 2 MRV 2 channel I just need to buy some components. Probably the incriminator audio set. Then aside from that decide what to do with the sub. Wire it to 2 ohms. If you have a bad voltage drop rewire it to 8 ohms. Most cars can deal with 1000 RMS.
  19. Yeah I'd lose that massive wing, but very sexy car!

    I don't understand. It is possible more in detail and more particularly. Click me http://www.ram-designs.com/contact.php
  21. You can also run a a dvc 4 ohm sub at 8 ohms which would make your amp do less power. Do you have any equipment yet?
  22. You can't wire one D4 sub to four ohms.
  23. Yeah you are only doing 55's+. but it dosnt look loud on a video so its not cool Exactly man. If the shit don't flex, it ain't loud. Hell yeah!!! I want to buy a Saturn or something like that just so I can see what I can break. Breaking shit in your car with your system is cool.
