Awesome build for the cheap subs. Lookin forward to mic numbers. Will be a nice build for the TREO TE's.... , box specs?

Well yea, just one. He stated 1 12" SE in his post. I was just sayin, I've run the SE's before in the past and on that amount of power it would be fine.

I agree with the guys above. Changing the settings in your current setup, might give you louder results than just changing subs, since you want to retain the Infinity a611 amplifier. I changed box settings a couple times and found better results. You could do the same, unless you just want a change from the w0's. If you do change, the SE's are great subs even with that kind of power.

Yea I've read a lot on the Fi forums and the Tech team seems to respond quickly to anyone posting for help. So is Fi superior to the other brands as far as Tech support and Help, along with performance to boot? Everyone seems to love the Fi products.....maybe it's a sign... Anyone else have any opinions on these subs? I'm looking to start ordering everything soon.

Yea I've heard alot of praise over the BL's and even more about the BTL's as well. Anybody have personal expierence with the DD 9515 or the BTL 15? Any weaknesses or strong points? Sorry, so many questions. But that is how you learn. At this point, the BTL might be a wise choice by your responses. Thanks for the input; it is very much appreciated!

True John, SQ is nothing to me, I don't care about how they sound as far as SQ, but I was just asking which one would be the best choice as far as an SPL setup. I know their are a lot of variables involved but I wanted to see what peoples' opinions were about each brand since I don't have as much knowledge as some other people here or the expierence that some people have. Thanks for your input, it is appreciated.

Cheapest way would be to purchase a 2nd SX 15" , but I'm really liking what I'm hearing about the BTL's and the DD's subs. Kinda torn about which route to take. I know the DD and the BTL will take more than what I'm going to running as far as power, but that shouldn't hurt me. Turn it up to near full tilt at competitions and leave it at 1/4 for street beat. The SX has been a great sub and yes I've beat the heck out of it, but I've been reading a lot on here about other people's expierences with other subs and it's sent me to make a decision since most of it is good talk. Fi and DD are a little pricey but I can work with that if that's what people think will sound best. Thanks for your input DC , greatly appreciated!

Hey guys, Just need a few opinions. For the new season, I'm going to go with 2 15's instead of 1. Only thing is, I'm using RE Audio right now, shud I just buy a second RE SX, or I've been looking at the Memphis MOJO 15's or the Digital Design 9515's or the Fi BTL 15's w/ full options. I'm going to be running 2 SAZ-1500d's strapped from Jacob at Sundown . Which ones would be the best bang for my buck? I'll be using this as strictly a SPL setup only. I really like this SX I'm running now, but as you all know, you always want more.....haha Thanks for anyones input. Anybody prefer 1 sub over another... and why? Just looking to pick the best sub available that I'm looking at, and I know their are a lot more people here who can chime in with some knowledge for me. Thanks Jeff

1st set up car: 2000 Chevy Silverado Electrical: 180 amp LOAD BOSS alt, 1/0 wiring, 2 pure lead batts Amps: (1) Planet Audio 1350.1 Subs: (1) Soundstream SPLX 12" quad voicecoil Box: 2.25 cubes ported Mic: TL Tone: 52 Score: 143.7 half gain 2nd set up (current) car: 2001 Chrysler Sebring Electrical: stock alt w/ 2 Batcap 800's and yellow top Amps: (1) Sundown Audio SAZ 1500d <--- Monster Subs: (1) RE Audio SX 15" Box: 5 cubes ported Mic: TL Tone: 54hz Score: 145.7 half gain Decent scores for half gains.

I'm in the same boat Chris. I've got a 15" RE SX an whenever I hit hard notes I get a burning smell coming from the ports. Like an electrical burning smell, it fudgeen stinks. I can't figure out and I have the amp at 1/4 gain wit 0 bass boost.

Probably have time Tuesday, Thursday and maybe Friday. Wednesday and today I have other stuff going on. That setup is gonne be awesome, I'm happy for ya. Will probably get at you tomorrow afternoon sometime about the Zapco. I want to power the 6x9 SST's and the 6 1/2" Treo's with it unbalanced for now. And maybe some badass Tweeters from Frank. Appreciate all your help man, really do. Talk to ya soon.

I gotta work until 12 noon on Sunday, but I'll try and make it out there. I'd really like to know what kinda number this thing will throw down. I need to get a few things done but I can do it I think. You going to have your Explorer ready? That's a badass amp rack you made, I like it a lot. I will contact you later this week about that Zapco mounting solutions.

Thanks "pops" , hahaha lol..... Appreciate all of your help Brian, you've been the biggest help in getting me to this point. If you hadn't showed me that Soundstream SPLX 12" and that PPI DCX 1000.1 , I would still be banging that 12" Kicker CVX and that 300 watt kicker amp. I appreciate it, I really do. Whens the next competitions starting up? I went from a 1/2 half ass system to a fudgeen badass system all because of you. Thanks Brian. Will have some more pics of the trunk install very soon! You know Carlo has that WOD "Weapon of Mass Destruction" sub and a USamps 4000.1 amp right now dont you? Damn thing sounds pretty good in that box I gave him at 34 hertz.

Envious of me? Wow..... I'm the one that should be envious of you. But thanks man, I really appreciate it. Frank kept telling me, grow some balls and buy that amp......so I did. Hopefully will have pictures soon. Thanks for your input Brian.

Yes, the sub is mounted a little to the right, but I wanted it that way. Make it a little different, I guess. I like to stand out as much as possible. Yea, the ZAPCO 650.6 amp looked badass and i've heard awesome things about them, so I decided to go big. I will have some more pictures this weekend on Sunday. I'm going to mount everything in the trunk on Saturday hopefully after I get off of work., because right now it's all Fugly, lol.... but it beats up damn hard, lemme tell ya. Thanks for the praise guys.

At work right now, will provide more pictures tonight or tomorrow. I know only one picture isn't doing any justice. No it isn't sealed off from the cabin, even though I would love to do that. Yes it is a ported box. The vents in that trim piece are where the vents extract from. I had a custom front panel built to make it clean. I had it built at 29 hertz, but have had it extended to 35 hertz for a little more beat-up. It's 5 cubic feet with a .46 cubic foot displacement for the subwoofer. Double walled 3/4" MDF with extra bracing inside the box. Ask Lord Baccus(Brian) He has seen it in person and he flipped out when he learned the vents are on the outside of the box. It's trick. I haven't finished mounting everything in the trunk yet. I will this weekend, and post a few more pictures. Thanks for your praise. Have no idea what kinda dB number to expect from this setup. Anyone?

Thanks guys. It's coming on really well. Still have to install my ZAPCO 650.6 amp for mids and highs and get my Hi-Fonics amp outta there. Apreciate your praise. I need better pictures though, but am without a digital camera.

Hope you like. It looks pretty good. Sorry for crappy photo, took it with my Chocolate cell phone. Jeff

Need a little help. Finally got everything wired up and in the car. Ran all my wiring, hooked up my batcaps, grounded everything and I have power to everything. Only problem is that I can't get any sound out of my Sub or Component speakers that are wired up to the amps. Nothing is in protect mode or anything. Are my RCA's possibly bad, or is the headunit just not sending out a signal? I got about 5 seconds of sound out of the sub and components when I first turned it on, now nothing works. No fuses are blown or anything. I need help please!! Any replies are appreciated. Jeff

Recieved my SAZ-1500D yesterday, and I'm very happy. This thing is nothing short of awesome. Thanks for making such a great product Jacob, very much appreciated. Great customer service and fast shipping, thanks. I'll always use Sundown Amp's in the future.

Hey Brian, it's Geoff... Nice setup man, I'm happy for you. Can't wait to get this all hooked up in my car. Hope your doing well and all. I'll be ready here soon to go to competitions with you and Carlo. Did you want that 15" box I have? Gimme a call and let me know so I don't sell it. I'll take 45 bucks on it. Hope I can achieve half of the results you got. Talk to ya later man and take care, lemme know if you want that box.

As the above have mentioned, Jacob has awesome customer service. Contacted me on his first day back from vacation to help me, now that's dedicated. Awesome guy with awesome service. Will continue to buy from Sundown in the future. Thanks Jacob
