What speakers are you using? You can't just pick a random crossover and mate it with a similarly random speaker and expect it to work good.

I'm in Phoenix as well. Hopefully we'll have another SSA meet planned up by the time you get here.

It's not even worth it dude.

http://www.stereointegrity.com/ Over all I like the graphical change, but I think it needs to retain the somewhat dark and serious feel it had before. Your products are serious business.

You probably had the gain set to high and you clipped the shit out of it. Sending a square wave signal to a sub is a surefire way to fry it.

He's working on that now. 225a alternator and 4 yellow tops. We talked in another thread and he's adding more runs of 1/0awg ATM.

The max link is just a signal splitter. It doesn't "strap" the amps like you would expect. If the 2500 says it's stable at 1ohm and you have enough electrical upgrades, I don't really forsee a problem with running it at 1 ohm daily. If its not 1 ohm stable.... I would say if you have to post these questions on whether or not you'll be ok, You're not going to be ok.

depends on the "3000w amp".

ummmm think about that one.

I don't think that the 2500's are strappable. If they aren't, you can put one coil on each amp. 1 ohm each. If they are strappable, each 2500 will see .25 ohms if you wire in parallel (I doubt they'll run that low). or you can use a series parallel scheme to get .5 ohms to each amp.

We oughta ban you for suggesting something like that. Eric, have you talked to Nate at EA about a smaller pulley to increase idle voltage yet? Although on another note what exactly are you trying to power? You should definitely conside adding to the Big 3 (it looks like you may have done it already in that picture though). Another idea would be to add more runs from the ALT directly to your rear batteries instead of going through your front one first. 3 batteries in the rear? 3 runs of 0awg from the alt. Depending on what you're trying to power, I would prematurely go out on a limb and just say that your wire is what's holding you back.

How is 13.4-13.6v bad on a 12v system? What does your voltage drop to when you have the system going?

Jim has a tube up his butt. You just can't reason with those people.

Obviously you're all fogetting about weighting the dB measuring. With A weighting you get a roll off at about 100hz on a 37dB slope. With C weighting you measure the full 20Hz-20kHz. B weighting rolls at around 50Hz and isn't used as often as C or A. Don't get me started about U weighting (ultrasonic). In essence what I'm trying to say is 150dB at 50Hz is NOT the same as a front stage system playing at 150dB. Bass tones don't effect you the same as 200Hz+ tones do.

?

That's pretty silly. No one forced each owner to buy the ICON. No one gave them money to write a review. They're not earning any "brownie" points with the manufacturer for saying nice things about the sub. The ICON was intended as a SQ woofer. Unintentionally it just so happens to get pretty loud and still retain a great deal of SQ while in a larger ported box.

Show me this debate. Every review I've read not to mention every installation I've heard them in has more than impressed me on this output "issue". Put them in a proper ported box with 1100w each, and you will have more than you can handle.

Throwing them in my truck? Why thank you. I accept.

Yikes, I'd make finding that electrical fault top priority over putting the subs in. car not on fire > installing ICON's

Who is Hertz Audio?? Digging the DXE. I love that thing.

If you want raid and network capabilites.. look in the the Thecus brand that newegg carries.

That would be the problem. Almost no one owns one.

your mother would be proud.

Looks great bud. How about how they sound though and what you like and dislike about them on certain songs? That's the review part we're looking for.

Other than the fact that it can only be wired to 1 or 4 ohms, its not a huge deal. Keep in mind that the SAZ-1500D pulls a hell of a lot more juice from the car at 1 ohm than the SAE-1000D pulls.
