That Gatorade is clearly blue and black

All I see is ewwwwwwww, that's my least favorite flavor. For real though it appears a very pale yellowish green to me Don't feel bad man people have argued this one for years.

Meade cherry

The dress is blue.

Hey thanks bro for posting up on youtube and all your social sites promoting system of the month. I really appreciate it bro. I don't hold anything from last month against you. All we want to do is be as fair as possible no matter what. I wish more people would promote their build and SOTM the way you have been doing the last few months. It would bring in more sponsors and more prizes too if they did I also appreciate that you didn't take it personally and stuck with it for the following month. A classy move that didn't go unnoticed. Thanks a lot.

these DC Audio 8's were flexing pretty hard!! They were louder than i expected and got nice and low too!

Well damn, that's a nice trick for the angled pieces.

Here is where it gets fun, and you may learn something about cutting odd angled side pieces like these on a table saw This is the angle i need to cut at 16.4 degrees, I need 2 of these for the sides, sure you could free hand them with the table saw and hopefully dont get any kickback or use a jigsaw or circular saw but how smooth the cut ends up could vary significantly So first up I had to duplicate the same angle on my other side piece Notice the gap in between the wood pieces and the saw fence, no way to use a fence for a straight cut like that unless..... Grab yourself some double sided tape, Im using 3M because its readily available at a store, but you can order much cheaper and thinner template tape as well Pealed off the top of the tape and stuck one side piece to a square piece of scrap wood (it must be a straight piece of scrap) I lined up my drawn on line with the edge of the wood Next I stuck the second side piece on to the scrap piece of wood What this will do is give me a straight edge to ride along the fence to cut the angles nice straight and true Now both side pieces are cut at the same time Pry the cut panels off the scrap wood and of coarse check to make sure both are cut evenly from side to side Now its time to start assembling the side pieces to the bottom that I already assembled Now I can go and attach the front angled piece I always spread my glue evenly with my finger after applying it to the wood this way I dont have to rely on pressure to spread it 100% Turn the enclosure over and now its time to do the back panel Now all sides and bottom are assembled I will use a flush trim router bit to cut out the middle hump on both sides of the panel once the glue has dried which I didnt feel like doing last night Just cutting out the speaker holes and putting the top panel on

You're doing it wrong you're actually building. Remember you just throw it up in sketch up and charge 40 bucks and call it a day

No worries.. go buy your "other amps out there". Ill continue to buy what i like, just like you,.... and.. Not be sub par.. but.... On another level. Thanks for playing.... see you in the lanes Thanks for playing? You are most welcome lol... no need to act like a dick because I don't get pumped up off your brand of choice... I respect you and your build and understand that you are super pumped up on DC right now, so your nut huggery can't help but show lol. Your build is sick, and your equipment is nice. However, to think of every other company out there as "sub par" is just silly. You could have easily achieved the same results with other companies. You chose DC and it is clearly not a bad choice for you. And as mentioned above, this was not meant to hammer DC. A company charging that much for an amp had damn well better deliver rated or higher, and they do. Everyone is getting all hard over a 1400W amp with a 1200W badge. Assuming the signal is clean, there comes a point where you are paying for the badge and not the power. And as for your "see you in the lanes" comment. I hope that wasn't intended to be as condescending as your "thanks for playing".... different builds for different purposes... Yes yours is probably 8-9 db louder than mine. You probably spent literally 10-15x what I did. Congratulations on being a master of the universe.... As I said before, your build is sick and your equipment is nice. But I stand by the idea that there are SEVERAL other quality manufacturers offering rated power at a better price. I will not de-rail this thread any further, so reply or dont (I will not). Everyone was making observations about the results, so I did the same. Sorry our opinions differ. Awesome tests, Amp Test Tuesday kicks ass!

Nice save!! Did you mention to get the name of the shop he bought the woofer? I see you said he bought it from a retailer, which there are none of those online, so that retailer must of been a shop selling your product, but saying it cant handle its rated power??? Hard to believe not 1 but 2 shops could be so hack and have no idea how to even tune an amp or for that matter overlooked such a huge but simple issue.
