  1. The server had crashed last night under unknown circumstances.. I'll call Mark and have him call the host to trouble shoot the client problems.
  2. Everyone try clearing your cookies for the forum and reloading the page. I had the same problem last night when the forum went offline then came back up. Those two things seemed to fix it for me.
  3. An ICON 12 would be fun off of that power. That being said, you don't have to send the full force of the 1500D to it. You can always turn the gain down.
  4. I believe air begins to compress at 180+. Which is why it's so hard to get up to that point.
  5. You could run the new Mags at 2ohms and they would be perfectly happy with that power. Although your current setup isn't doing it for you in the loudness department, so I'd probably recommend the Q's or the SSA ICON's to you. Both can be wired at 1 ohm to the SAZ-1500D. To be honest though, you don't really have enough power for two of either of those woofers. You do have enough for two SSD's though... Two 10" ported would be pretty wicked.
  6. I belive you are correct No, the two slopes just overlap. They're still the same slope percent, they won't add together like a gain cut will.
  7. What did you say in the first post? Was it English?
  8. Powermaster.
  9. Ported is, in most cases always louder than sealed. But you sacrifice an even frequency playing field. If you port the ICON, I'd tune it to 32-33hz for the types of music you enjoy.
  10. http://www.batterystuff.com/battery-charge...ps/SC1500A.html http://www.batterystuff.com/battery-charge...MAX-12A-1B.html http://www.batterystuff.com/battery-charge...ps/CR-100A.html Or anything you get at Autozone/Checkers. You only need to worry about a type of battery charger if you have a Gel Cell battery. Any other battery will use the same charger.
  11. Are you sure you wired them in phase?
  12. Sorry, I still can't get over why you would have two different subwoofers in the same installation.
  13. Mark sealed up a 12", and it had plenty of output for his tastes in a smaller car. Put it in just under 1^3ft sealed and it'll be happy as a clam.
  14. Looks like it's right in the sweet spot. A little larger wouldn't hurt, but it looks ok.
  15. John, I'd pull those kinetics and sell em. Should be able to get your money back for them enough to the point where you can buy a couple of D3100's
  16. Either would be fine with that power. What kind of goals and space do you have?
  17. I doubt its a problem with the amp. You said yourself when you unplug the RCA's the noise goes away. Sounds like a head unit problem to me. Try regrounding that instead.
  18. Box. The Woofers Fs is important too.
  19. Looks like bad news for every one who suckered up and bought one of those Missing Link Audio voltage boosters.
  20. Ryan.. you CAN NOT go from a Cobra to a Neon... I mean c'mon!

    Only thing I can think of in a Tube amp that needs to be wound is the Transformer.
  22. How are your RCA's run? Do they go from the head unit to one amp and loop out of that amp to the other? What happens if you have both amps on and no RCA's plugged in?
  23. Why can't you go through the website? https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/...1548240e3e6929e
  24. I'll throw my hat in for Toyota, since I recently converted to a 2005 Tacoma. Obviously that might be out of your price range, but the previous gen was nice as well. Try looking into a 00-04 Double cab. It'll be a short bed (5ft?) but it's a truck and that gen got good gas mileage even with the 3.4L V6. The 2004's are priced a little high, but you may be able to scoop one up cheap as the 2009's get released.
