x2 and J-Road you will get it right eventually it just takes time for people who want it perfect like you, me and others out there.

I new I wanted to go with Ascendant Audio Mayhem for awhile, plus I wanted a 15" since I always had 12"s and thought why not try it out since im young and got time to still learn. If it does not fit my needs then I can always go back to what Im used to and thats 12"s, either AA Havocs or SSA Xcons. So it was more like a go try what you want instead of going the usual 2-12" route and do something new. I wanted something that can just tear me and the car apart when I want to crank it and hit up some shows here and there. Im tired of going back and forth between subs and had to make a compromise on what to do. I rather spend $500 on a sub and not like it then spend over $600 to see if thats what I want, just my logic. I expect it to sound like sex to my ears (Duran Enterprise) all day and night long, great low end authority while still reaching the higher frequencies as well. I honestly expect it to be picture perfect. I also have the advantage with the box to face it forward or rear to see whats better.

I wish you were traveling down I-20 and could stop in the Dallas area to give me a demo, but safe driving and glad to see the system is in full effect.

What will be the price of these now since pre-sale is over?

Well I learn in this game there are only so many questions you can ask but like they say your taste will be different from others so the only way to find out what you want is to try it. Im a pro audio speaker guy at heart and a soft dome tweeter guy (makes no sense but hey thats my taste). If I dont like the tweeters you will be the first one in line that I offer them too Sir-Lancelot . I had fun testing out different products and seeing what I like and dont like between them, also gaining experience as well in the active world. Im almost a year deep in it and still a noob but hey I got a better understanding of when you turn a dial of what to expect or how to counteract it).

Sundown SAX-125.2 ordered! . I really wanted the Jordan's that come out this weekend but since I bought a pair last weekend I can pass. Its a shame when car audio takes away from your other hobbies and lifestyle.

Jacob will post as always when he has updates, if he doesnt post then he doesnt have any updates.

and looking forward to your build log

Z-Ro - Road To Success

MB Quart Amps are sold and the Power Acoustik NX-5 Tweeters are ordered, just keeping you guys updated. I already have a pair of Selenium 6W4P in the front doors, dont have pictures of these but hey you guys get the picture. Next week should have pictures (all the updates for this week so far).

I got a couple questions I will send you in a few days, Ill let you catch up before I send my email out. Thanks for the heads up

Here's a good candidate for this amp as well: FS sundown 2000d, sundown 100.4, AA havoc 18" - SSA Car Audio Forum

There are plenty of amps out there, use the search feature because this same topic comes up every single week. Look for an amp that does 2000 watts rms at 1 ohm and you will be fine, make sure you have a good electrical.

I have plenty of updates for you guys but no pictures as of right now. I will be doing 4 Selenium 6W4P speakers per front door, fiberglassed and all that jazz. Im thinking of either a pair of Power Acoustik NX-5 tweeters per front door or the Image Dynamic Ultra Horns, it depends on how the PA tweeters sound since they are drastically cheaper. Im going to purchase one Sundown SAX-125.2 (for my nx-5 tweeters or ID Horns) on Saturday from the SSA store, kinda pissed cause I already had one but oh well. On a good note I do have two amps to sell to make up for the amps needed, I have a MB Quart DSC4125 and MB Quart DSC280 if anybody is interested in them. PM me, should be making a for sale thread for these very soon (both come with original boxes are only 1-2 months old). I will also be purchasing a Zed Audio Kronos to power my Selenium mids. The sub stage will be 15" AA Mayhem tuned to 31hz, designed by GalaticMonkey. The amp will probably be a Sundown SAZ-2500D, was gonna do a Crescendo but I minus well keep it all Sundown. Pictures are coming soon so be patient once products arrive I will show them off.

What you got planned over there with the wire and what not? Sweet knife

Well do you have a DMM to test the subs coils to see what they read? If not then try the sub you think sounded distorted on each channel and that will tell you if it is the sub or amp.

When you just have one playing is it bridged or on one channel? If it is on one channel then switch it to the other channel and try it out there to see if both channels work individually. It sounds like one channel may be gone, if that is the case then it is the amp. If it is the amp then wire both subs to the working channel for a 2 ohm load. Hope that helps

Why not? Tease away

, nice equipment and good luck on build

Sounds like the subs and the way you have them wired

Kicker 1500 if it is the 2 ohm stable one Im assuming and the aq2200d.

I keep hearing good things about the SA-12"s makes me want some but then I keep seeing small statements like the one above about the Nightshade v.2 15" and makes me want to wait. When can we start to see updates on the Nightshade v.2?

No way can having 8 gauge wire on your subwoofer magically give you db's, if that was the case everybody would do it. You can do the 8 gauge if you want to, its a personal preference and wont hurt the amp or sub by doing it so its up to you. If your competing then you can do it but for daily I wouldnt bother.
