  1. Some douche bag went to the Casey Anthony Murder Trial and decided it would be funny to stick up his middle finger at the TV camera during the trial. Watch the video, he was right, it was funny!! Casey Anthony trial: 28-year-old man held in contempt for middle finger hand gesture
  2. I have to 2nd this. If your trunk is sealed from the cabin, and the subs are firing into the trunk, you will not hear them very much. Now, if they are firing into the cabin, that is a different story. Can you elaborate?
  3. I got a good laugh when I saw the name and motto of this towing company. Just thought I'd share. "The Best Camel Tow you can get!!"
  4. You are going to need a bigger alt and more than 1 battery to run 4k. It takes power to make power.
  5. The speaker terminals on the SAZ amps are connected internally, not bridged. You can use 1 or both sets of terminals, doesn't really matter. Think of it as having 1 positive terminal and 1 negative terminal, but you can hook up 2 wires to each.
  6. that is a problem i wish i knew how to solve...it bugs the crap out of me lol! It will eventually get fixed. Nothing ever just works perfect Cool, thanks for doing what you do. The site looks great and it seems snappier (quicker) with the new upgrade.
  7. Why is it that some of the sub forums do not use the selected skin? This is nothing to do with this specific upgrade, but since it is a skin related thread, I figured I'd ask. For example, when I go into the Sundown Audio sub forum, it is the SMD Default skin. If I go to the bottom of the page and select the Google Free Blood skin, it doesn't take and still shows the SMD Default skin.
  8. I agree, the mobile skins look great. Threads are much easier to read.
  9. Generally tuning low will have the desired effect, but purposely creating a ruckus is frowned upon here. Its people that install a system so they can "set off alarms", "rattle houses", etc... that gets the negative attention of local authorities up in arms and then they clamp down on loud systems. Bump responsibly please.
  10. Sweet!! Yea, it took me a little bit to figure it out the first time. That PDF helped me out too.
  11. Sherwood SCA-2100. We knew it as the 70+70. Here it is on ampguts.com... http://ampguts.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=6673&title=sherwood-sca-2100-outside&cat=1697
  12. Here are the instructions for installing the compression fittings. Compression Fittings Howto Is that what you are trying to figure out?
  13. Good for you man!! Be proud of your accomplishments. It takes discipline to save up for something like that, especially when you are not making bags of money. Good luck with your surgery.
  14. For the Preouts, connect the ground clip to ground, touch the probe to the inside connector of the RCA. For the outputs on the amp, connect the ground clip to ground, touch the probe to the speaker positive.
  15. How? I have a dmm. Put it on 200V on my dmm? Depending on your DMM, you want to choose AC Voltage. If it is autoranging, that is all you need. If it is not, choose a setting that is close to but higher than 4v. Put the positive probe on the inside RCA connector and the negative on either ground or the outside connector. Turn the volume up and you should see how high the voltage goes. Now to see clipping, you should really find someone that has an Oscope. Maybe there is an SMD member with one that is near you?
  16. haha yea true, ur just put a note saying i got you on camera just to scare him a little bit. Ive been going threw my head over and over if I took the $5 out and i didnt, I only had 3 $20 in my wallet. The note pad I had over the money had been moved also. I dont care if it was $1, its the point of the thing. we have cameras set up anyway in office and outside, so if it happens again Ill ask they look at the footage Are you on good terms with the security dude? I'd ask him anyway. Just because he only took $5 from you doesn't mean he hasn't been stealing from others as well. Let them know when it happened, maybe they will catch him taking other shit too. I'd report it now. I work at my university as a student worker but have my own desk, comp so on. We dont really have security pep around but campus police (which are a joke with this stuff) best thing I can do is see if it happends again. I told my boss so she knows. Yea, I see what you mean. Let us know what happens!

  18. I hope its nothing serious, did he give any examples of what would cause this? Or did he want you to get your lungs checked next?
  19. my headunit has gains built in for every rca output, not just sub, i dunno how the new alpine stuff works but mines an oldschool pioneer deck with digital xover kinda like a 360 or imprint type deal sorry if u miss understood Naw ur ok. I have a alpine imprint too with my alpine cda-105 so my amp get 6V threw RCA. I was going to turn my gain up to bout 45% up with my subsonic at 30hz or 28 hz. Alpine Imprint only has 4v preouts, just saying. You are not getting 6v out of it. My alpine hu put out 2V so total of 6V. It doesn't work that way. Couple of questions for you. 1. The 2v Preouts are referring to the RCA connections, not the AiNET connection. Are you connecting the Imprint to the RCA's on your headunit for some reason or are you using the AiNET connection? 2. Even if you were connecting to the 2V preouts, you don't just add up the voltages. Whatever the preout voltage on your processor is, thats what it is. It doesn't just add together as if they were batteries in series. Its the same as an amplifier. With your logic, your amp will put out more power if it has a higher input signal which is not true. You have 4v Preouts, not 6v.

  21. Congratulations!! Yea, I can see it now. "My grandpa's car is louder than yours"
  22. You would think that because its a "mono" signal and a "mono" amplifier", I googled this and someone said it made a big difference between using one and two (using y-splitter as opposed to not). I say @ OP, never hurts to just try running 1 RCA back and seeing how it works out. It depends on how the amplifier is designed. On some mono amps, such as the Sundowns, you only need to hookup one of the RCAs since they are connected internally anyway. I'm interested if anyone else has seen this or heard of this, but to me it sounds like he has an equipment problem of some type.
