two per sub for everyday? They won't handle all of them for continuous playing. Nor will your charging system unless it's ungodly. For comps they will if you know what you're doing, but that's the same with any amp on any sub, whether it be same as the RMS of the sub or 8 times as much.

mm....no, it wouldn't clip inherently. It will still provide the same amount of power (or more) than at 1 ohm without clipping. It would piss it off and make the amp blow sooner, yeah. Try wiring the sub to 2 ohms and see if the scratching noise is still there.

I have to agree. I can't think of too many woofers that are going to fail if you play them the way they are designed. (Every once in a while there will be a lemon.) Well, except for the flat-cone ED A's of a while ago. But that's a different story.......

This should be an easy day.

take it to a shop and have them set it up for you.

Somewhere in India a young lady and young man eloped and wed. I think it was the young girl's family who invited 8 of the young man's family over "to get to know them" or something. But instead they were killed and beheaded. This act was due to the young man being poor and his family having a bad history with the girl's family. Apparently this isn't that uncommon of an ordeal. The article also said that a while ago another family killed both wedders (including their own child) because they didn't approve of the marriage.

I just read that too. Crazy. The article also says that there are thousands (can't remember how many now) of 4"+ pieces of floating debris in orbit. That space debris has become more of a risk for manned space shuttles than the takeoff and landing. That's not good. Somebody get a space vacuum sweeper up there!

They look good, but did you ever think about maybe making a T-like shape with the handle? I just figure it might help you hold on better so that your hand doesn't slide down the handle and give blisters while you're scraping the wood.

I think that some Sonys have weird settings that turn on/off or mute the preouts in some way. Could that be it? Or did you find out they really are just messed up?

How do you figure wiring it to .5 ohms made the sub have scratching sounds?

You're an IPS.......wait, dammit I've used that one already. I need new material.

I use scottrade. I like it. Trades are only $7, which is the lowest I've seen. But I only started 2 weeks ago.

haha. shoot when I saw 12" and secret lovers I was expecting a porno.......

Also check for air leaks. That tink tink tink sound can be indicitive of that (or clipping). Bottoming out would be a louder brap awful sound.

I think most of the time if you send your amp back in to the manufacturer, they just give you a whole new board and send it back as refurbed. DB-r may take the time to check everything and only replace the parts needed, but I wouldn't hesitate about the quality. Besides, if anything would break after you get it back because it wasn't replaced during the refurb, I'm about 98% sure it would happen within the year warranty.

I got some aeros from partsexpress and they came with instructions on how to figure them out. Also, what kind of port shouldn't matter in certain vehicles. At least I've never heard anybody say aeros work best in SUVs or anything like that. To me it seems like port is port (walls are likely a different story as it's hard to get 200 sq. inches or anything like that with aeros due to the size and shape of the flanges. It would just eat up too much room on the mounting baffle).

it won't necessarily want more power. That depends on the box you give it. 1000 watts will be fine, just like the 1500 that the OP has will be. Still have to watch things because the sub can be blown in either case if you're not paying attention.

ha you can see on the monitor that you're telling him that you have the snickers.

mm I want the weekend already......

Is it bottoming out or does it just have a tinging sound when it plays (below xmax)?

Everything I've heard from independent economists say that the bailout won't work, when it does it'll be to late and all it'll do is drive inflation. One of them had a good quote though. All economy models are wrong, but some are useful. It did not work in the past for the US. It did not work for Japan when they tried it. But apparently it will work this time since we are using money we don't have. Plus I did a little digging, and talked some with our financial advisor, and all this BS about this is the worst it has been since the '20's is such a lie it is not even funny. Just back in the area of 1973-1974 it was worse then it is now, but I guess they think the population either has forgotten it, or enough were not around to experience it. So this constant pushing of the USA being on the verge of an apocalypse is really making me angry. I think that the bailout is mostly stupid. The US is not going to spiral into a pit of nothing. Just let it reset itself. The marketplace has its own system of checks and balances, and the speculative/risky/etc. part was just getting out of balance with the basic stuff like services. People will always need certain things, and those industries will never go completely out of business. We just have to settle back down there and regroup every once in a while. I mean let's be honest, EVERYBODY can't be getting returns on their investments over inflation rates. Otherwise everybody would always be getting richer, relatively. That's not how capitalism works. Economists and philosophers 100, 200, even 1000 years ago realized these things, and realized that society goes in cycles, whether it be with government, social, or economics. Why is it so many people have forgotten this? Or did they just never learn? The damage is already done. I don't think it will get much worse, although we may stay fairly even for a while. And yeah, it's not as bad as the 20's and 30's. I don't know as much about the 70's, but I would imagine if people were waiting in lines for gas for hours that things would be quite a bit worse right now.

you have two but only want to use one? What's your budget on the amp? How big can the box be (dimensions)?

the gain is not a volume knob. You could be getting all 1328 watts at half gain. You could even be past that and into clipping at half gain.

There is no set limit that an enclosure can be off. It all depends on what sound you want from the enclosure. Otherwise, you can have a company recommend, say, 5-10 cubes for an 18. So if you built the enclosure 10 cubes and wanted it to be 5, you're 100% off, but it's still technically ok. But even then, you can build an enclosure 11 cubic feet and not have it be wrong if the sound it produces is what you were looking for.

I don't understand what you mean. Can you post a picture or make a diagram or something? How many cubic feet is your box, what are the exact port dimensions (height, width, and length), and what were they supposed to be?
