I just moved about 10 (edit: 30) posts to proper area's....and there are a lot more to do. If you have a question about a subwoofer, or a box for that woofer, please post in the Subwoofer section. If you have a question about amps, please find the AMP section. We have a section for just about everything. I know the mods are getting tired of moving topics and sometimes they just delete. Not because it's the end of the world and a big crime. But because it is annoying. I would rather your post did not get deleted so again, PLEASE find the appropriate section before hitting the enter button. thanks! the mngmnt.

The SAZ-5000D & the 6000D cost almost exactly the same amount -- the 6000D produces quite a bit more power on 12v than the 5000D. They aren't just a re-label ; things have been re-worked on the boards. It's hard to tell in the photos -- but alot of that is in the transformer windings; you will notice they are not identical from amp to amp in the photos above (since they are actual photos of each model). In this specific case (6000D) I was able to get some cost concessions from the factory so this model changed very little in price. For instance... the SCV-6000D is now several tenths louder than an NS-1 v.2 on a 12v system. So it's actually an even better performer on 12v than our largest model now. For a given board layout they are a bit more expensive than in the past ; but per actual wattage on 12v they are cheaper. I haven't released the actual Dyno figures on the old SAZ line since they are discontinued (you cannot compare old clamp tests to the Dyno) -- but the SCV line are all significantly more powerful on a 12v system than the counterpart SAZ boards. Typically around 15% more powerful at normal voltages; with an even larger difference in more extreme voltage drop situations (e.g. most real cars that don't hold 13+ volts). Given an oppurtunity I may do a complete round-up down the line as a reference... will have to round up some older models as we've sold them all out for the most part.

Sucks that the turn out went to shit. I enjoyed doing SOTM. Maybe we can have something in the future but the lack of interest has been a demise that I have for seen for a bit. Congrats to all the winners through out the years. Steve, we will keep in contact, hopefully coming up with a new idea later on down the road.

As all of you know the original SMD Tool Map was no longer being update by the OP. I went ahead and transferred all the data from his map and copied them to a new map. The new map is on a different server because it is 100% free. We can also add a logo to the top right corner of the Map. I didn't want to add the SMD logo without permission from someone. The new map can be found here: SMD Tool Map If you have a tool that you would like added to this list either PM me or add it to this post and I will add them to the list. I am on here at least once per day sometimes more. I do not feel I own this list, If someone has a better mapping site or would like to take it over just let me know. I will send you the Excel file of all the information. Thanks Dan

It shouldn't matter where it is in order. People are lazy and stupid and do stupid things all the time.

I think if general audio was listed below the sub forums it might help. As it is now on mobile its the first thing you see when you scroll down. And on PC its above the others too.

blows my mind boss..... specific questions...... and still in general. I know first go at a forum is a bit odd, but shit............ NOT A DUMPING GROUND.... fuck....

Holy Crap, that would knock the crap outta a Kicker SoloX or a Cerwin Vega Stroker!

Each model costs less per watt on 12v than prior models. As our overall business has shifted more towards sales via B&M shops an increasingly smaller percentage of customers need high voltage stability. In the previous generation even the SAZ-1200D was stable to 19v -- it's been cut down to 15.5v on all SCV models; also the SAX-150.4 is capped at 15.5v where the 125.4 model ran to 19v as well. This, again, allows more wattage per dollar and per size than previous generation models. The NS-1 is also on it's last production cycle along with the SAZ-5000D; we will introduce and SCV-6000D in place of those two models. Dyno results and clamps tests forthcoming on that one as well. We may consider a large "NS" model amplifier again down the line but we have currently shifted all amplifier models to more dealer friendly 12v versions.
