When buying a refurb, I don't think they give specifics, but a call to them could explain all. They are very helpfull. This was the responce about my repair: "It had the standard problems, loose output inductor broke legs on a transistor next to it, voltage regulator filter caps had bad solder joints and 15V+ voltage regulator was bad because of it. All fixed up and everything siliconed in place now, way better than it was new." Wow, almost sounds like the build quality was poor to begin with. Your 3kwp is exactly the same as the sundown saz3000D, exact same board, different headsink and case. I know Sefugi's amp wasn't a saz3000d, but I'm sure the parts are similar from one to another. (as why would sundown use cheap parts in one amp and better parts in another? Wouldn't make sense) Just some food for thought. one easy answer, people are fucking stupid another is Shipping companies are brutal.

it would also be from db-r btw with 1 year warranty only downfall says its a 6-7 day wait before ship wtf?? i think the sundown puts out more wattage ? this was sent to me straight from crescendo BC2000d 2250@[email protected] 1100@2ohm 700@4ohm the clamp results state the bc put down 1676 at 12.8v 1.67ohm calculated according to jacobs clamp tests the 1500 put down 1970 at 12.8v with calculated 1.23ohm They're both exceeding the tests... 1

yes...

Leave those in a locker at the flight line or or in the car and carry into work daily. Wear them with your coveralls for working on the planes. When you need to go other 'cleaner places' change back into your nice boots. J Eh it's a nice "badge" lol. Servicing centering cylinders is a very messy job. basically run hydro fluid through it till no air bubbles, reset the gauge to 105 degrees and then pour more fluid out... lol Both of em ended up being bad on the main landing gear they were dripping fluid at like 1 drop per second. (left/right), sadly we didn't get to replace them. we just LSD'd it (Let swings do it) lol.

I HATE HYDRO FLUID! Ruined my boots

Build time is very fluid, the more orders they have the longer it'll take. Remember these aren't some off the shelf woofers the are Hand made. Not assembled In america MADE IN AMERICA.

Word! CR black is awesome

Americans want cheap replaceable products.

There's a common issue with those smoking, I can't recall however.

Most events are a joke any ways. What I love is when someone can have a basic stereo and they have no competition, and they become state champs and think there amazing. Not everywhere, but certainly see it here and there heh. In particular in Missouri Hey now... That's not the case, one person does not define the rest! Im not like that!

But you know how things on forums are BLOWN out of proportion.

Skins are skins. IPBF provides, other re model.

If you think about it when the run from amp to battery bank isn't going to be 20 feet long its going to be much, much, much shorter.. the shorter your wire is the more current can be passed through because resistance is greatly reduced.

1 mile sprint 3 sets of 40 pushups (wide, normal, and diamond) 3 sets of 40 situps (bicycle, normal,) 1 set of 20 flutter kicks.

what happened with me i shipped mine back i paid for it, then they shipped it back to me for free.

Last time I used it no.

Well The one I know of I knew about and knew the product worked before he sent It out

Big part is owner. But a few reputable people I trust have played around with the skars and weren't impressed. I think some people see a shitload of skars in a vehicle and because its loud, they think the drivers are good. Does Kevin even know anything about speakers and amps, or does he just have people for that? I see all these people saying "kevin when are skars amps coming, and comp sets?" Well just gotta see what the buildhouse in china has to say. Jacob builds in china... Why do people like his subs so much..?

Yep I do, I love it! I had dish and I fucking hated it, it went out allll the time when it would drizzle just a bit. For my directv, it takes alot to make it go out.

Never said he wasn't nice face to face, but as a business person he is shady. As for handling it, its a frigging sub it doesn't take rocket science to figure out what it will sound like in particular when you understand what parameters were cheapened to reach that price point. But you know as well as I do that not everyone in car audio is looking for a well designed woofer that has a flat response. We both know they're looking for something cheap and that will get loud. It's what the majority of the market is out there for. Why on earth do you think AQ is still flurishing!

Furthermore Jacob and Kevin work closely together. Do you think Jacob knew a shit ton about amps/subs before he went into production? Probaly not, it's easier (and mind you cheaper) to build on to a platform that has already been well built on. Does Mark/Aaron solely design their woofers from stage 1-XXX? No they do not. So before you go point fingers please know what's going on. *hops off soapbox*

I mean.. I personally met him, listened to his product. I was impressed, they sounded fine and the pricing was fairly decent. There is a lot of bashing going on when you have yet to see the product nor handle it. Im no nut hugger but I hate to see someone's name get drug trough the dirt.

Im finally at my duty station working!
