Well I was the judge and I did have a look at the system, he burps so low, but its so quiet outside the cabin. Clay kept the oem look and I am proud to have him in my area because I always try to keep the competitors in my area totally legal and no grey areas. So when we dropped the 4mm damping rule we were thinking bout people who would normally destroy their doors and sheet metal every burp. Glad Clay could make it out. I always have high expectations and I see clay pushing 168+ in the future.

I have ran it down to .25 ohm on 18.5 volt supply and it's still working great. Its not the tightest bass loaded down that low but it shows that someone knew what they were doing when it was designed. Now that I got it out I am gonna do some resistor testing on the bench and see where it locks up at but at .25 ohm reactive that's already scary low on 18 volt.

Don't get your hopes up guys it just went into protect. I thought I had it this time but damn this is a resilient little amp.

Steve you keep hitting home runs with these products. Will there be a mono version with 8 pair of outputs? There hasn't been a good one since RW Audio stopped making those. Anyway I still have to try out the CC-1 and the AD-1 so I can add this to my list of must stock as well.

I agree.

It would be ok but the port area is high. Not too high that it wont resonate well or efficient but your gonna run into problems playing below tuning and playing harmonics below tuning with the sharp response drop. Generally any good daily enclosure with a lot of port area come with lots of depth for port mass. I would try it and graph the response inside the vehicle and if you see too sharp a drop below, say 35 hz then reduce it as needed. Optimally I have seen 50 sq inch ports for dual 12"'s doing really well. It's all in the vehicle loading.

I don't do this for fame. I do this for the love of the industry and it's at the core of my existence. I may know more about audio than the average person but I don't know everything, no one does. I used to offer my help all the time but these days there is so many self proclaimed guru's that are rude, obnoxious and clueless. So now if I see genuine folks asking for help I will help those people because that is where the time is well spent. I respect so many of you who have stuck around in the industry since early 1990's and do the same(you all know who you are) Hell, look at Steve. He has opened up our small industry to a whole new audience and I support that 100%. I remember when he was on my old forum and he was like a sponge learning everything he read and asking questions. Now look at the great builds he does. That's talent and I am proud of him.

and he may know a thing or 2 about fi/aa While have not used every product from Fi/AA I do know a thing about parts,specs and assembly methods. Heck some companies still use my innovations to this day with subwoofer building. One company even copies an old name I used on one of my lines. lol But ya the Q line is what he needs, I might pick myself up a few 10's for my collection.

Any pictures of the current setup or what you want from the new enclosure that your not getting now?

Your gonna need alot of space for a 4th order and that subwoofer. How much space do you have to work with and what type of loading will it use in the cabin?

I would use the Q 10

Your kidding me right? If I could show you in person and Bet you you would see a continuous 3000 wrms from this amp I would be a little richer. When I say 3000wrms I mean 3000wrms lol. You might want to re read what the amp is running at too.

I thought the CCA went under? I dont even go there anyway anymore it wasn't about car audio promotion anymore. Edit but ya this amp will do 3100wrms the way I am running it.

Jacob did some more work to box and good news! Spl is up to 156 now! On a side note I just cant fathom how its not blowing any of these fuses on the amp and do such power.

.35 ohm and it plays fine with music. Set the gains with the DD-1 so clip free signal helps!
