looks pretty straight to me, are any of their mixtapes on datpiff.com? Just curious as I am always looking for some new tunes to get my hands. 142.3 on music? Man, Every number I hear from a trunk system, I feel that much better that I was doing high 146's with ease on music with my two 15" Q's out of a trunk! And that's a 30 sec bass race. Good cover, but the kid on the far left looks much more forward in the picture as if he is upstaging the other two, I would put a pic of him leaning back like the others. Also, Just a thought but I think it would look bad ass with the whole thing in black and white except the street sign.

so you're saying that most likely I will be looking at almost 3kw out of these babies at a constant 14.3,14.4? That's sick cause I will be installing a 14.8v 200 amp H/O alty in the car very soon.

this looks so sick, any specs on the box? what size? or not sure if you would want to share how you did the 4th order in it? Looks sick though, would love to get a demo!

lol I shoulda taken a picture of the old lady with her husband in their convertible about a week ago, they must of heard me comin cause she put here hands to her ears like that little boy. it was two fi 15" Q's on a crunch 3000d. gotta love Fi!

I am getting ready to run a couple 100.4d's on some hybrid legatia 4's and 1's. Had the legatia's before and loved them, can't wait to hear them doubled up with sundown power!

Sometimes amps put out a clipped or dirty signal at low voltage. I know it seems silly, but running a system at 13-14v is a lot better for the speakers as well as the amps. Most people try to push their systems too hard and they drop to around 12v and the amplifier loses all cleanliness. Also, they did you get BP power then do sep. chamber sealed? Your box design is more for SQ, even a shared chamber would increase output. Sounds to me like you would want a big ported box. M5, I dunno man I had two Q15's with BP power as well, and was doing high 140's during bass race below 40hz out of a trunk. Also, Frankie Rio ran Q's for a long time in his ride as well hitting 160's so pretty sure these woofers can dish out the SPL as well. I never had a problem with mine and now they are on their way to another lucky recipient. I ran a 3kw comp. amp on them getting every bit of 1500 a piece.

wow i woulda just cut a piece of mdf to seal it off completely, i mean there's a point of wanting to hear your system right away but damn...

right on man

now lets see what happens with w NS and 4 3000d's....this is getting quite interesting Jacob

oh yeh and you can pick up a nice refurb t3002 or like 150 shipped on ebay.

had a t3002, it tested to 937 @ 1ohm and 846 @ 2 ohm not bad for a 300 watt 2-channel...

so you're telling me an 8cuft box will work beautifully for two 18 NS? wow, that's what I need for my two fi 15's to perform optimally, that makes me think...

I do and will always stick to my guns that kinetik is the best batt out there, and onlinecarstereo sells them at straight up wholesale costs. I got connections to audio shops in the area, and there cost is the same or higher than what onlinecarstereo sells them. I picked up my hc1400 for 190 shipped, and my hc2000 for 290 shipped. Yes, there are other good batteries out there, and I know everyone takes pride in what they use in their own car, but no one can say or will ever tell you with any knowledge that kinetik was a bad choice. I mean go with what you want, but if you want the best and don't wanna have to worry about your batts goin bad then get kinetik. Plain and simple most power capacity with quickest delivery, lot of other batts have the same amperage, but give a higher resistance than kinetiks do which is key for charging and quick delivery to amplifiers.

X2 more cone area plus ability to use more power on the pair of woofers compared to a single....

ahh ok thanks guys think i'm on the right track now...so you basically read the voltage per amps and do some math?

yes johnecon i understand but where do i get one? and how do I know which one to buy?

don't mess around with other batts, get kinetiks, even the top alternator builder in the nation told me kinetiks blow everything else out of the water. If you have a true high quality 200a alternator (what kind of alty is it?) then it will be fine. a kinetik hc1800 or 2000 if it will fit would be great under the hood with two 2400's in the back or even two 2000's with that third batt under the hood. yellow-tops really are a joke compared to kinetiks....kinetiks have the lowest resistance and the quickest power delivery with minimal voltage loss over any other battery out there. and do yourself a favor and grab a power supply to keep them babies charged at home.

where can I buy a clamp?

Just wondering about some power testing results for the SAX series amplifiers. Anyone ever test these to see what they really pushin? Also, I wouldn't mind picking up some equipment to do my own power testing, what would I need to do this?

that answer is good enough for me

Well since I always see so much talk about new sundown products, figured I might as well throw out the possibility of full-range coax and or component speakers. I would def. be more interested in the component speakers, especially if individual drivers designed for active or custom built passive x-overs.

lol yeh meters can be humbling. of course In my case I was actually quite pleased with results....4th place in 139.9 bass race at SBN in my first competition entry.

nice bigjon, I plan on getting a meter myself, I have done some improvements and would love to see what I'm metering at now, My goal is 155db by end of year, but that's making some changes from whats in the ride now. 150db is the short-time goal lol...

well the IB3 is an IB woofer, Infinite Baffle so it does not need an enclosure. Just don't get that confused with "free-air". It need a baffle that is sealed off from wherever it's being played to the most air possible. that's why in many SQ setups you will see IB woofers mounted in the rear decks with the rear decks reinforced.

LOL most systems a 140? wow amazing how many people have no clue how to match "volume" with actual metered SPL level. Sorry but unless you build a wall tuned to 40hz and do a burp at 16volt electrical, you will not see a 150db with that setup. I have two fi Q 15's on a crunch 3000d-pro, couldn't do a peak SPL run at SBN cause the deck i installed for competition was skipping when I'd get anywhere near full tilt. all I know is i was peaking in the 146's during 139 bass race, and I had a good amount to go on the volume knob. To give you an idea, I had a kid running two 15w3 Jl's on a 500/1 in a sealed enclosure in the back of a scion. told me he did a 149....I laughed when I sat in the car. If i'm doing 146-148 on music, my wipers are moving on the windshield like mad so that gives you an idea how hard a high 140's car is.... P.S. My system in a trunk of a 4-door infiniti with full usage of the backseat...
