  1. The D80 is a great camera. I have only the miserable kit lenses, but they work fine as long as the lighting is sufficient. A random long exp off my balcony Some SAZ-1500D shots, SB-600 bounced.

  3. This is over both coils? Like the positive of one coil, and the negative of the other coil, with a jumper between the negative and positive? Although I assume that if they're both reading the same, then it should be alright. Did you have the subs wired up the right way? Not one sub wired to 1/2 and one sub wired to 4 ohm?
  4. Or at least set it properly by ear.
  5. Set it to the ohm setting, it kinda looks like a horseshoe. Then touch it to the + and - terminals of one coil, and see what you get.
  6. I have a H/K amp that I picked up off the sidewalk last year, and its been bangin pretty good for awhile, but then it blew a fuse out of no where. Replaced the fuse and it blew again, so something is busted. Its a Harman/Kardon PM645 Vxi, 60Wx2. Looks to be fairly modern, since it has CD inputs, but its got a MM/MC phono input, so it can't be too new. I like this amp because of its simplicity, only knobs on the front, no LCDs or anything, so I was wondering if anyone knew a good place to have it repaired. I read that some H/K amps have problems with the soldering going bad from the heat. I know that this particular amp heats up pretty good. I have a full schematic from the technical manual, and internally, nothing looks burnt/exploded, so I'm hoping it can be repaired. Any good places to start? Thanks! -Trevor
  7. Alright, cool man. I'm quite the visual person anyway.
  8. Haha, I ain't messin with ya, just never considered doing an electrical system of this caliber. I'm getting there though, considering buying another SD 1500D. Just to clear things up, the ring terminals connect to either a battery with provisions for rings, or a battery post connector with provisions for rings, correct? Thanks for your help, Trevor
  9. Oh got it. And the cells are connected with ring terminals?

    Oh god.
  11. Excessive Amperage, Iraggi, and Ohio Gen are companies I've heard good things about when it comes to alternators. you may want do the Big 3 if you haven't already...
  12. Just wondering, how do you run more then one run of 1/0 to the amp? Doesn't it only have one set of terminals? A distro block? Thanks! -Trevor
  13. Heh oops. Well, I got a 1500D for a good deal, so no turning back from that. I'm not much of an SQ seeker. Just out to rattle things. The BP might be the ideal choice I think.
  14. This has got to be the most abstract post ever. I think the audio gods must have put upon some kind of divine intellect. But seriously the statistics thing is weird. o.O Do I smell a conspiracy?
  15. Heh, ok. How about a loaded BL at that power?
  16. Ok, so I'm wondering if the Q is the right choice for me now. Roughly how much power will a fully loaded Q handle? I plan on running the 1500D at 1 ohm, so I suppose around 1600W. Thanks, Trevor

    Man, if 4 ohms is enough power now, 1 ohm should, as I like to put it, "utterly slam".
  18. buickid replied to RemixPinoY's topic in Sundown Audio
    That amp should be stable down to at least 1 ohm. If its going into protection, check your electrical system. Would you mind listing any upgrades/modifications to your electrical? A 3kw amp is going to require a bit of beefing up. As far as the rattling goes, where and how is the amp mounted? As far as your gains go, they should be set by playing a roughly 50Hz sine, with the HU turned up just below IT's distortion, then turn the 3000D's gain up until it hits distortion, and back it off a teensy bit

  20. Put me down for one. I'm not on the computer as often as before, so if this GB does happen, send me an e-mail.
  21. Shipping for all that weight can get a little pricey though.
  22. except when companies randomly generate a number within a specified range.... D'oh.
  23. Wow, that sounds kind of what I need. I wouldn't mind testing some of those out.
  24. I believe the holes are in the bottom of the motor, around the hole in the center of the motor.
  25. The birthsheet tells you what *your* specific amp puts out, since it varies from amp to amp.
