traded my 2 saz-1500's for a saz-3500!! running at half ohm. it is a monster. so much louder.

re-reinforced the back of the wall with 2x4's, titebond 3, and liquid nails.

vids and numbers soon...

^ just a suggestion. Make sure you flip the brake lines to make a U shape instead of the factory "n" shape. The line likes to rub the frame and will quickly result in brake failure.

Just remove the line, flip it over and install/bleed. It depends on how low it is out back though yours may/maynot rub.

If you used Belltech spindles up front you need to trim down the upper control arm as well because it will pinch the brake line. If you used springs this doesn't apply.

cool, thanks for the tip. its a 4x4 so there isnt any drop spindles for it i cranked the torsion bar. im going to get drop keys for the front. i will definitely check the back break lines though, thanks again.

Doh! Wheels (offset) were a dead giveaway it was a 4x4 and I missed it.

How low are you planning on going up front?

probably another inch, so 5 total. with the drop keys i will have the option to go as far as 8 i think, but 5 is as far as i can go without tearing out my front drive axles.

i obviously dont go off road but i need the 4 wheel drive for these oklahoma winters. next thing i need is a grille...

On the last page when you had the 2 1500's, does that mean each sundown was putting out ~2,650 watts?! I guess I don't understand the term strapped.. maybe you could help?! :wub:

Strapped is connecting 2 linkable amps together in a way that doubles the potential output of the amplifiers. Like making them seem and act as 1 large amp. Thats the best way i can think to explain it. And those numbers are a result of a extremely strong electrical system, low impedance, kickass installation and of course the best equipment on the market

*actual results may vary*

looks crazy man!!! keep it up :fing34: :fing34: :fing34:

more progress...

i knew my setup had more potential so i rebuilt the wall into a 4th order... sorry for the lack of pics during the rebuild but i left my phone at work.

i used the old carpet from the old back to keep the dust off the goods if you were wondering.

IMG_1623.jpg

i cut it real close. had to engineer the shit out of it but, it worked out pretty good.

IMG_1624.jpg

heres how it is now. i still have some adjusting of the port and the 5x7's will be installed better. they are temporary because i am figuring out the exact placement i want.

Thats awesome bro, what ratio u using for the BP and what tuning? How do you like the sound or is it a one tone monster?

I kinda just freestyled this one. But i built it with 8cubes for the sealed part firing in to 12 cubes. And it is a musical beast. It actually hurts after a min or 2 and damn near impossible to drive with the knob turned even a quarter way up. Far as i can tell its tuned around 35-40 ish. Ill get it on a tl real soon and find out.
