TOO COOL !!!!!!!!! I knew there was a reason I hung out here. Welcome aboard Steve.

I got mine in a 1.25 because i wasn't building for loud, but rather SQ. If you are seeking full potential on the output, go ported. I am feeding mine with a Orion 1200D and am upgrading the alternator next week because my charging seeking is under great duress during peaks in outputs. This sub will take the 1200 no sweat, ( on the impedence rise) but my first suggestion would be going straight off the battery so your amp can take clean big bites of amperage, my second would be, go with a bigger ported box and you will never ask again, did I make the right choice.

Those are very nice.

That was me that mentioned the DACs, I was trying to do paper work, read thru some threads, and setup my week, BB op amps are way different than BB Dacs (was reading thru some info on HDCD's and just had DACS on my mind) The BB sets in the ZED just provide a cleaner signal thru-put and add a little warmth to the sound. My bad.

I am patiently awaiting the Kronos for my 6 channel active setup. I talked to Steve last week and all amps are being shipped with the BB update. It is just a better DA conversion op amp that adds "warmth" to the signal with less jitter.

Fonzi, funny u should mention Sound Advice. They have been in buisness for years, bought my very Punch 150 from them in '86 in Sarasota, FL. They used to (and probably still) sponser a few Iasca shows around FL and GA, which is where I cut my teeth back in the day. But to your main point, I HATE when the sales staff has absolutely no clue about the products they carry or any of the other brands they don't. Obviously they are going to pitch what they have, but when you ask their opinions on how x compares to y, they have never even heard of y.

How du u get ahold of mattb? Gonna redo my baffles and want to decorate them a little.

Skinny box, whats it goin in? Looks sweet.

That rocks.

Ryan. After reading the rants, I soooooo appreciate this board for what it is..... a no BS collective of minds here to help each other out, not here to see how many attacks we launch a night. Steve would be a great and welcome addition to this board. If we can't get the big companies to hear us, maybe the smaller ones round here will pick up and run with this. Wish I had the venture capital myself to fire something up.

The dual 15 setup gives u the most cone area. Cone Area + CRX Box = loud as f#$k.

Contact cement would work well, too.

Not yet, let me show this to kids i taught some new phrases to Realy give them nightmares

Not so much crack here, we got the meth freaks and tweeks. They just busted a rv with a meth lab inside, talk about a rolling bomb.

[bTW, nice work on the pods. B)

Dennis, I so feel your pain I spent the better part of the day building shelves for my garage and tonight when I was cleaning up and putting away, I grabbed a box and lifted and didn't see the 4' pressure treated 4x4 leaning on it The kids playing out on the street got some new words for their vocabulary . This is after an hour of elavation and ice. I just so happened to get about 4" away as the end of that 4x4 smacked me right on the ankle bone. Denim!!!!! I need a DR or at least an Rx.

Perhaps we can help them along a little bit <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Excelent idea, he has my vote Just nobody let hin know abut the US Amp affiliation :ph34r:

It's hard to keep track of both rants.... , but I ain't skeered. These could on for weeks if allowed.

Thats very good....great minds are always seeking ways to improve things......right? Hey 60, when I pull the focals I'll drop u a line. Should be in the next month.

And Yes I read both rants, and could go off the deep end but have chit to do today.

I Nick. Count me in on this venture, I have mad skills and and the ability to communicate .

I am on the complete opposite end of that spectrum, steve knows I vent all my job problems to him, I have just shy of 200 credits, 3 degrees, and am about to start my doctorate, and I am stuck forever in this Catch-22, I cannot get the job with out the experience, but wait I can't get the experience without the job, I bust my tookus in school, I wish employers would understand I would do the same for them, and I cannot let myself take an "entry level" job, it would not be enough to get by to pay for school and pay bills, no room to save any money at all sorry, dont mean to vent, and don't worry I probably wont post in here for another week or so again , was unable to get to my computer for a few days and I missed you guys <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know this was last nites topic, but I was off to bed before I could put my 2 cents in. I played both side of the fence on this one. I worked and struggled raising two kids and trying to get ahead only to be passed up for educated idiots with no experience. Well I hit 29 and realized I was getting nowhere quick, I bit the bullet, drug my wife and kids 1000 miles away from home and put myself thru school, delivering newspapers in the early morning hours, selling shoes at sears midmornings and scholl in the afternoon and evening. At about 8 months in, I got a apprentice type slot with IBM and life did a 180. Once i graduated, I did have to bite the bullet again and take a entry type position with Lucent Technologies, but I did move up rather quickly and and only had to struggle for maybe a year until I was making a decent living. 7 years later the rug was pulled out from under my feet and I found myself laid off like every other communications techie in CO. I responded to an ad in the paper that was in a whole different field as what I had come up in and out of 565 resumes they recieved, my personality shined thru, and I am loving life in the medical realm of technolgy. Aaron, sometimes you got to bite the bullet and take a step back to get 3 steps ahead. I admit, it was hell balancing life with a wife, two rugrats, working and going to school full time, and trying to keep my sanity, but I did a 4 year degree in 3 years and am still here to talk about it. Was it worth it? In my case, I would do it again, only I would have went back to scool at 22 or 23 (after i got out of the service).

We got a lot in common my new friend, I hit 41 in April, and have been fighting this disease for 25 years. I swore when I dropped the Focals in the doors and the Rl-p behind the seat, my truck would be complete. Not!!!! I have since picked up a set of Rainbows (awaiting install), am gonna grab a new alternator and battery next week, Midbass drivers the week after, and so it goes. Is there a cure?

Just call. I have called and they pick up the phone.. 85% of the time/. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why? This is the age of the internet, people need to jump onboard. I am a field service engineer that spends 80% of time on the road. I am in the mountains and in the prarries away from cell service or working away in OR's in hospitals across 3 states and they tend to freak when you whip out a celly and the EKG machine starts jumping around erractically. I shoot out emails late at nite or early in the AM and just wish some of these guys would check every so often. When I do have time, I pick up the phone and call, but only to those who have responded to my inquiries via email first. If they have time to peck me out a little note, then I feel they may have the time to speak with me and I go from there. Even if it is a great product, no response = no sale period. There are a handfull of other products out there that are of the same calibre and someone else will steal me away just that quick. Undercover, I hope you found Zed's site, good, good, chit. I am patiently awaiting the 6 channel slated for this fall. He (Steve) responded very quickly to my e-mails and is a very personable guy. He has a nice sale coming this fall as a result. R U paying attention Ryan, looks like a good buisness plan is being laid out right in front of you

Very nice, that car has to sound good, I the symetry.
