You mean wiring a pair of horns together so the amp is bridged at 4 ohms, that would be pointless. They wont have channel seperation and it wouldnt sound right, you need to keep left and right seperation. If you wire them together then you minus well stick with the supertweeters you currently own. Power is not an issue, they wont need anywhere the power supertweeters need to get loud. As far as any other HLCD's these are probably the only one's you will find. Not to many people selling theirs and there arent that many brands who make the bodies. So your best bet is to get a new pair from Eric Stevens unless you can find a pair of used bodies, then you can pick a HLCD compression driver from parts-express.com. As far as setting them up, browse the HLCD section under diyma.com forum. There is plenty of information on mounting, tuning and any other valuable information needed to set them up properly. Even emailing Eric Stevens will get you the best info around, he has the patent to the horns thats why Image Dynamics cant sell them anymore. The same reason why you just cant buy the horn bodies from woofersetc.com aswell.

email is [email protected] I have two models Pro $299 and Ultra $425.00. Pro is a ferrite magnet version and the Ultra Neodymium magnet, they both share the same diaphragm and phase plug. Ultra has a higher efficiency 111dB versus 109dB also higher power handling 100 watts versus 60 but this is a non issue in the car as we can never use their actual output potential without losing our hearing. Ultra has more air on the top also.

Eric Stevens has his own line of HLCDs out after leaving Image Dynamics, I'm not on my computer at home to get you his contact info. Go on diyma.com forum and pm him to get a full set, horn bodies and hlcd compression drivers.

Nothing from Crescendo is American made. Haha that gave me a good laugh.

Good, because it's not a good idea. The helpful advice is telling them when they have a stupid idea. This qualifies as one of those times. We aren't an answering service, we aren't required to answer any and all questions posed exactly as they are proposed. We are also here to help educate and assist in devising a better solution to achieve their goals when and where possible, and when people are willing to listen and understand why something might be a bad idea or why there is a better way to go about something. If that's a "problem" with this forum, then I'm happy to be a part of that problem. That's part of the reason a majority of this forum is better educated than the average member base of the majority of forums I've been on. If you don't like it, you aren't required to come here. Meh.........

Big 3 can be done in 4 gauge, but if you plan on upgrading in the future then use 1/0 for big 3 wiring.

Dude look at the date of the topics before you bump them.

That's true, and I agree no one helped him with the specific question, but it so so damn hard for me to help someone do something I KNOW is wrong. lol How is it wrong, what makes it wrong? Its not ideal to what you want or what most would do but why does it equate to wrong. Thats whats wrong with this forum, instead of helping people yall rather down them or not give any help at all. Regardless if its what you would do or not do, does not mean you shouldnt give valuable advice. Some people dont care about bass, some people dont care about sound quality. So does it make them wrong to want to have some type of system?

It sucks but with the build house history it's known that they are always backed up, hope you get them soon.

Do you have any tweeters installed or is it all mids?

Focus less on rms figures since they are useless and focus more on making an efficient enclosure. Just make sure you get a reliable amp thats of some good quality.

Didnt care for their previous components at all so hopefully they made some big changes.

Neither its the AQ4x90, their 4 channel amp.

Port firing off the rear windshield always povides great results, looks like it gets down.

BHE enclosures hold their own when it comes to output, dont let the looks fool ya

We are telling you not to but if you feel the need to have music that bad and dont care about your truck or your own safety then go ahead.

Ahhh, must be the rated wattage part Did you check your levels with a multimeter? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suX13VixU5k -Jamie M. Pretty pointless to check your gains with a multimeter, just use your ears, nose and eyes.

Naw just means they are busy, its not like a company with 8-10 people available to stop and answer every call that comes in. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they call back it just depends. What is your question your trying to ask them? The prices are on the store site along with the information. There are some companies out there you cant even get in direct contact with via phone number, just the way it is sometimes. You dont see people calling Kicker to get a Kicker amp so whats the difference?

I like this one, same color scheme I want for my IA Lethal Injections enclosure from you Robin?

You wont get the whole 3500 watts period, every amp has an efficiency rating usually between 70-85% (plus or minus some) depending on the amp. You will be amazed at how many watts your sub will receive from the amp and how much is turned into heat.

Just another mass marketed amp, does what its supposed to do.

You cant blow a sub and expect a shop to give you your money back

Yeah i see those updates as well. If you look at the ssaudio store and try to purchase their amp like i did the other day it shows they are on pre-order and the new models come out in the beginning of 2013.

No where thats why I made this thread, if I had a link I would of posted it.

I see the amplifiers are on pre-order for newer models, can't wait to see what ya'll have in store. When can we expect the release of a new Dirt Sheet? Keep up the good work Nick and IA.
