  1. On 650 a piece they are pretty brutal in my trunk car so I can only imagine what yours will sound like on that much power in your vehicle.
  2. I just put my second 12 in on only 1300 rms for the pair and I am thrilled with the performance! Sounds beast mode, still waiting on my Xcon man. I can tell you that those Zcons I'm using slam on 4K strapped. The bass is intense in there. Going to exchange head units , and also install a MLA module to get little higher voltage. On that power the XCON's should sound awesome!
  3. I love mine too! Are you the guy who said his wife wasn't sure because you guys hadn't heard of SSA before lol? If I'm wrong my bad haha.

  5. As long as there is nothing that will damage the surround, and you set it down gently nothing bad will happen.
  6. Where are the nudes??? JK....kind of.
  7. Ehhh, Idk about that lol.
  8. I would say that it is stupid because I would definitely measure what space you have before coming to any decisions. Until you measure I honestly wouldn't go any further. Please don't get offended by the comments that you are receiving as you are asking for help without doing anything to help us help you. Once you get us some dimensions we can guide you toward what will work best for your application.
  9. You fuse according to the wire you use, not the amp.
  10. Seat bolts usually aren't the best place. You want to ground to the frame if at all possible.
  11. Do you mean only run one battery? After adding the second battery my voltage is up, and dimming is much better. If I'm not following what you are saying let me know.Your first picture shows a blue power wire routed directly over the engine. Just saying there is a better way to do it. Has really nothing to do with multiple runs. Just a thought. Ohhhh, okay I see what you mean now. Yeah I have been thinking about rerouting the wires that are over the engine. I haven't had any issues, but as of now I rarely ever drive this car. I will definitely see what I can do about it. Thanks for the input!

  13. Damn, hair trick from that far away! I hope to hear this thing some day. Any plans for more power? Not that it needs it, just curious.
  14. oh, no. i just love car audio. i did this for sheer fun... and to scare deer away so i don't hit them at night ^-^ i would love to get metered though. You will be fine at 2 then.
  15. you're very correct about them being sensitive. but i think that I'm starting to understand this. The damping factor is killed when playing music at loud volumes and because of that the impedance can fall below the nominal load? Impedance can fall to the nominal load, which in your case is .5 and too low for that amp.
  16. And here http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/30610-why-daily-systems-should-not-count-on-impedance-rise/ Plus from what I have heard those amps are pretty sensitive.
  17. You need to be concerned about your starting impedance. you wouldn't mind explaining to me how the amp sees that when its not putting out would you? Thanks. Look up one post. A quote from someone on here much more knowledgeable than I am.
  18. You need to be concerned about your starting impedance.
  19. Yeah..... 1 ohm stable amp that is protecting from too low of a load. You are running a .5 ohm load. What is your question?
  20. Here are a few pics to give you guys an idea. Keep in mind that this is not finished by any stretch of the imagination, and the car won't be driven until I get it completed. The final install will be with the enclosure facing into the cabin sealed off from the trunk, the battery will be mounted were it currently sits (to the left of the enclosure). I have to check on a few Meca rules before I permanently mount the amps and battery as I need to make sure it is allowed in my class. I will also be cleaning up the wiring, repainting the port, and carpeting the trunk/trunk lid. It is a work in progress.
  21. No, even if you had just purchased them they wouldn't be covered. This type of damage is from improper use.
