today iinstalled 2 15" idq's in individual sealed compartment..maybe 1.75ft^3 a piece, being pushed off a memphis pr series amp(the big 2 channel one) and here's the deal...after a few bass hits..it quits playin....one sub sucks in and the other pushes out. u turn the h/u for a few seconds, it'll start playing again and then uit again. here is what i checked.. 1) the amp never goes into protect mode and doesn't shut off when the subs quit playin...also the amp was benched about a month ago because of the same problem..different car...tested ok 2) all connections are tight..had to fix a few on the box terminals 3) changed from mono bridged to stereo to play with the impedence a little ( the subs are ran in series on the vc's) still did the same thing..even reverse polarity to make sure the subs were in phase...they were 4) ran it for a minute with only one sub(the one that pushes out at cut off) and it didn't do it, but the connection was loose on the other box terminal..which i fixed 5) i think it's the sub that sucked in at cut off, because of what happened in #4..but what is causing it to shut both subs off? should i recommend new subs..or just get them checked out and fixed? what causes what i'm describing? any help will be appreciated.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

a ws6 style hood on a camaro?!?! sweet!!! my bro in law has put one on his 86 firechicken...make u cry when i tell ya what he paid for it.....fiberglass, bolt on with functional snorkels,yeah, complete hood.....$100 and on old hatch off of a $50 parts firechicken he had layin around looks good...keeper clean.....me like topless pics too!!hehe.. oh..u were talking about ur car...that would be cool too...hehheehaha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

LOUD!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

it's all good...i apologize for firing back the way i did....i guess,like u, ur post just rubbed me the wrong way..i accept urs, if u'll accept mine. btw..on ca.com, maybe u've seen it...i posted a thread where i compared the subs i'm looking at(magnum d2 and treo ssx) with the pair i have in(treo ss) in the boxes i have currently on winISD.... and even in the smaller boxes, ur d2 had a flat response, though it wasn't quite as loud as my ss's(which were really peaky) and ur's were louder then the treo ssx's...so maybe the d2 will work in a smaller enclosure anyway(yeah i know winISD doesn't take everything into consideration, that's why i used the same size box for each woofer)...so the d2's might be in my future...still gotta wait on the 1500d's though (if only the flamers on ca.com could resolve stuff this way) pss...send me a pair of 15's and i'll gladly conduct the treo ss vs magnum d2 test for u! i'll even pay shipping! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

1970 muscle car specs..times 1971 specs and times 1972 specs and time LS6 chevelle of 1970<---i did say LS8 earlier and was incorrect the new LS2 6.0ltr might end up as the new king of the hill soon i'm leaving the last three links up so anyone can look up their favorite muscle car's 1/4 time and hp ratings and see if it badder then anyone else oh yeah...i can look outside and find "Magnum" on the side of my truck..hehehahaha<----j/k and with that... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what i am looking for is a sub that gets loud, but don't necessarly need a huge box to do it. my treo ss's are in 2.5ft^3 and tuned low....i'm not looking to set world records..just looking at getting silly loud, but sounding good too btw..i am considering treo ssx...not the se xxx's basicly...how ur subs compare to treo's line of subs...sql wise. i understand about the spl estimate's..not really looking for that..just a idea if ur sub is the one i'm looking for..mostly because the treo ssx's run close to $900 each..i am looking to be a little more budget minded then that wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

memphis 1000d...one ohm stable, not a current hog and puts out more then the rated 1000watts...looks good too!! around $400 on the internet wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

jus wait....2005 vette with the 6.0 ltr LS-2 400hp for the bottom feeder(like there is such a thing) vette...can't wait for the new Z06..gotta go close to 500 hp...but no more pop up headlights?!?! btw..my wifey's 2004 grand prix has the 200hp 3.8..yep, not the gtp....and it is quick as hell..esp compared to my ram..hehe wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

*blushing* i like me too....hehe oh yeah... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well..if we're technical.... (and i know this thread was dying..but...) the 502 is a gm crate motor..never put in a production gm vehicle....... the 500 caddy is considered the biggest gm motor put in(not countin the new litre things...what does 8.1 work out to anyway?) but the LS-8 454 put in the 70(?) chevelle is considered the biggest baddest production chevy motor of all time...rated at 450 hp and close to 500ftlbs...(or somewhere in that ballbark) oh yeah..the new zz 572 is the new king gm crate motor...610(or 640)hp and 650ftlbs.....can u say, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well.maybe...just this one time..and just u! not that no good no account mr... oh wait....that's what my wifey says to me all the time..hehe..she just watched me type this..hehehahha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

DO YOU TWO HEAR ME?!?! THIS IS MY THREAD!!MY TOPIC!!! MOOOOMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! oh yeah...... hehehahahahehhehehahha..jus messin wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok...soon i will be gettin two memphis 1500d's, so new subs will be in order as my treo ss's won't take that kind of abuse. i am thinking on getting the treo ssx's..so here are my questions.. 1) how does ur sub, in your opinion, stack up to a ssx? will they take 1500 wrms? ssx link<---scroll down to the specs link, plz 2) currently i am running two 15" treo ss's, each in their own box, 2.5ft^3, 25in^2 of port tuned to 34 hz off a memphis 1000d...how would the d2 work in similar enclosures? this is the set-up i will be competeing with in usaci, maybe db drag...would i benefit from ur d2? i know i can go to ur website and read up on the sub, but i would like to hear ur opinion. while i understand basic stuff..the technical stuff is still alien to me. i know how well my current subs work, and they do work well...and i have listened to ssx's being pushed by 1500d's..again, i know that they work well. unfortunetly, nobody around this area has ur subs, has ever heard of ur subs(a select few thta compete has, but they are sponored by kicker) so i am in a pickle. i am wanting to maybe drive a different road, so to speak, and am wanting to try a non mainstream sub, well, possibly. thanks for ur time on this..i appreciate it very much. oh yeah..almost forgot..... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i think the mtx 81000d..now called the 1501d should be added to this list. i have yet to see a owner unhappy with one. maybe not an sq amp or the best looking one..but it comes in a vairly small package and puts out very good power...it's only downside being that it isn't one ohm stable...of course i have heard of them being pushed at one ohm and not popping, but have never seen it. and on to the memphis....i have one and love it to death!! it just keeps going and going and going.....probably one of the ten best, the best in my opinion, sub amps of all time....today i played with it some and at 14.1 volts it was pushing at around 1300..to music(lil john)..not benched, i know, but i like the results!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

this gets my vote...like it counts..... and what about "wheeeeeeeee "???????????? that should be the top one...and i should get it first for thinkin of it!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehahehahahahehehehaha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

not taking anything away from the malibu (nice install btw) or the camaro... but so far the bgn is the bomb!! that is a sweet ass muscle car....ricers ain't the only turbo guru's..whooohooo can u say..... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

while u make a good point about $value....there are entry level subs...ie: rf z series, jl w0's, mtx 4000's and such that are far better subs for close to the same price compared to sony. as with anything though..ppl get an rf z and think because it's rf that it has to handle 500 clipped watts from some wal mart jensen amp and when it blows they say they are junk in the end...personal opinion will ALWAYS win regardless of what ppl say or type or whatever.... #1 rule of car audio should always be listen, listen and listen some more to various different brands and installs and decide what sounds best to u. it's ur money...it's ur decision. and i'll shut up b4 i start rambling...... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i was just playin around...kinda drunk last night..hehe didn't mean to offend anyone or anything like that, just pokin fun about how slow(nobody here) ssa was last night... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i show back up and nobody posts......hm,mmmmm maybe it's my beer breath..or farts... hehehehahhahehheehehahhaa i'm going to bed... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (aren't ya glad i'm back???hehehahha) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (again..hehe)

i have seen that team illnoise banner floting around.... where exactly u guys at? just curious as to how close i am to y'all<--hehe...the redneck in me..... oh yeah...i am down around carbondale.....ya know SIU..ranked #20 in mens b-ball right now(or higher if they beat hawaii this weekend) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i was at my local memphis dealer today, checking out the catalog and i found(like i made the discovery..hehe) the 18" LVSx3..which is one more basket then the regular LVS sub...mounting depth of almost 20"!! i just looked and it ain't up on the website yet, but it is in the 2004 catalog...wow..talk about a beast! also, Scott, the owner of said dealership, was talking about how the mojo line of subs, i believe, will have a interchangeable cone system. so say u buy a 10" mojo today but want a 15" mojo tomorrow..instead of buyin a whole new sub, all u would have to buy is a new basket and cone...the motor and such is the same. he thought the cone assembly stuff would run from around $100 to $150 or so..so savings in the area of around $100 to $150 or more is possible....kinda sweet idea u think? anyone else heard of this yet...and if so..whatcha think?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

just wait till you get a real sub and you will see why people bash sony. neither the spl or sq even compares to most of these subs. nuff said!!! anyway...only sony's MOBILE ES line of h/u's and certain MOBILE ES (including mobile es xplode)amps are to be given any credit..at least in my opinion..and i have owned a few..while the amps were decent to good and the h/u's from good to one of the best(c90 i believe) the speakers and subs leave A LOT to be desired...and the red subs seemed better then the silver ones. and that ain't saying alot but i did..didn't i?!?! hehehehahhaehhehehahha wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ummmmm...gee....danx guys...dunno what to say.... yes i do.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

usaci power rating in a nutshell...amps rated power at 4ohm stock, mod, extreme depending on location of bax and added electrical goodies(caps, batts alt)and of course port war and pro if ur sponsored 147.1 with 2 18's and a bd1500 in a tahoe? termlab that tough? reason i ask is because a friend of mine hit 150.4 with two 15" treo ss and a memphis 1000d in his 4 door blazer (took third, same class as urs..winning car? taurus..2 9515's and two kicker zr?100 amps...154 something or other...can't remember mike used though) btw..good job! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
