I only need about 20 ft but will consider more or less. I'll pay 1.50 a foot, can be used but has to be decent condition and good brand. I would prefer Knu-Konceptz since I already have that throughout my car but let me know what you got. Thanks. -Cody

Man, I reread my post and it sounds like I'm agianst ported. That's not what I wanted to say at all. I must have wrote that in the morning. Some parts didn't even make sense. I was out of it today I tell you. Let me try again with the basics. 1) Wall off car with clamshell if possible. 2) Use every square inch of useable space in backseat and trunk. 3) Fight for as much port area as your subs will allow, clamshell if possible 4) Leave just enough room for batts and amps 5) Tune low, I would recommend keeping close to your subs Fs. Hate to unload and blow 16 subs cause thats a lot of paper weights. Oh yeah, and what subs are you using exactly. I hope its all clear now. ...and post lots of pics

Yeah, I know. I'm not explaining it like I want to. Hm... It can be done and you sound like the guy to try it. I wanna see 16 woofers in that towncar soon, or else..

Even 16 ported would be great. I don't know if a clamshell is really what you want. They work well in vans and SUV's do to their square interior. A clamshell has to have an even internal airspace for proper tuning (hard to describe). I think a wall that goes as far into the trunk as you can. Just shoot for as much box space as possible. i think you'll find the most difficult is getting enough port area amongst all those subs. What's the Fs on those subs? I would keep it pretty close to whatever that is. What subs are you using? I just assumed "hfi" was hifonics but I could be wrong. I think you may have to make a lot of mounting rings and fiberglass them in to fit all those subs in such limited space. Do work son! and post lots of pics. Should be a crazy build if you do decide to take the plunge.

Fuck yeah you can! Anything is possible. If you really want something then do it. You can't possibly shut down this idea. Have you seen the T3 Van with like 360 speakers. If you really want to and like a challenge then do it. Everyone is always looking for that extreme ride, and 16 12"s in a trunk is pretty crazy. DO IT!! ...and post lots of pics. Should be LOUD. Definately put a "Power from the Gods" sticker in your back window.

Thats better. I like these comments. Haha. Everyone was really negative. I'll have an HC1400(underhood) and an hc1800 and hc2400 in the trunk with a 170amp alt with 15.5 MLA module so hopefully thats enough for electrical. I only need about 4000W at most so, I'm hoping it all works out. The amp sure is pretty though. Way sexier internals than my Memphis 4kw.

It arrived. Thought I'd throw some pictures of the amp and the repair reciept. Also, what I plan to do to it. The driver board was repaired. Was that the only problem with these amps? Gonna add some plexi to show off these beautiful internals. Got his for $3 on ebay brand new. Should keep the amp ice cold for me.

You're breakin my balls guys! Haha I thought I got a good deal. Lets hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot.

Could you be specific on what the problems were with these amps? Was it one recurring problem that needed to be fixed because the amp did have something replaced. Output drive I think but not sure. Its a gorgous amp and i can't imagine too many other problems since the Z1 and Z1a have the same board. You guys are scaring me here. Give me some more details about problems since the amp is already on the way.

I've fixed a few dented dustcaps with a shop-vac. Usually when I come across home audio subs they'll have dents from kids. Just stick the hose end on the dustcap and if they are really stubborn a quick blast with an airhose up the pole piece vent while using the shop-vac always gets it done. Best method I've found and I've probabaly done it a dozen times. Give it a try.

Well, my friend picked up a Crunch Powerzone 1500.1 amp on ebay Brand New for $125. I ran it in my car for about a month on stock electrical, while I was shopping for my 4kw and kinetiks, and it went down to 10V and never even thought of protect. It only put out like 1200W before clipping so its a little over-rated. But pretty rock solid and cheap. Never had problems with any crunch amps. Hope this helps.

I just purchased a DD Z1 amp first generation, that has been repaired before breaking by Ohio center for amp repair. What kind of reliablity can I expect from their work? I have reciept as proof of repair work and what Scott at Ohio amp repair replaced. I will post pics once it arrives if there's any interest. I paid $575, it is in mint condition (missing two speaker terminal screws). He had two and he was selling because he got two Cactus 7kw to replace to run his two 12" DD Z woofers. He sent pics as proof. He might even be on this forum, not sure though. All I want to know is how reliable this amp will be. Can I really expect 5000W+ plus without it going into protect? Will have an MLA module shortly for 15-15.5 volts.

You know, everyone loves pics. Lets us see what you haul was.

Dynamat F@(ked my car. Instead of flexing the whole trunk deck, it just sent all the force to my hinges. Lets just say they couldn't take it. Haha. Now my trunk really flexes. You know thats gotta be a DB loss. I've also had to reset my sunroof in its tracks about eight times. Before the dynamat, my spoiler mounts snapped several times, and had to be glued, and then replaced, and then custom made from metal. I would never skip on the dynamat or any sound dampening matarial. Single 12" Solo X and Memphis 4kw pushing 3500W did this. Also put a piece of rubber under my rearview mirror mounts (attaches to roof not windshield) and locktited all screws and bolts. The mirrors outside the car are useless when bassing, but the rearview is still useable.

Scott Owens is a Sissy! He wasn't even in the car when he broke the 180db. Lame. Just kidding, he wouldn't be alive to tell us about his 180db. Thats crazy, I think I might got one of these for the GF and stick it in a 1ft^3 sealed enclosure with about 600W, sound about right?

$1200 for a 12" woofer!? Must be nice to be rich. Thats like JL or Jackhammer prices!!! Insane. Atleast THIS sub is probably worth it.

You would have to Iso-Mount that thing just to show off that magnet. People would be like WTF is that?...and then send 15000W rms through it. The more I look at it, the more I think I'll try and get my hands on one of these

I was doing my daily dose of ebay deal searching and found this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...T&viewitem= In the auction it says "It is in good shape, and has never seen more than 10k watts. " I thought that was funny to hear. You never hear, its only seen 10,000W is all, she's barely broken in. I really want that woofer but I don't think I could ever drop nine bills on a woofer, but I'm pretty sure I'd never be able to afford the power to blow it. Someone should buy that and let me hear it. That magnet is incredible and the DD website specs are pretty funny themselves. What a woofer!

I just blew a couple of those exact IMPP woofers a couple weeks ago. My friend had clipped them one to many times so they were real scratchy and one had really brittle tinsels. So, I blew them with an RF 501bd. They lived through hell in my friends ghetto ass install. He had a cut up extension cord for power and ground from battery. Aughhh!!! They were pretty tough, but no match for RF power Good luck with install.

I have that exact Kenwood amp, its a spare incase the 4kw goes down. It puts out a whopping 648 Watts rms at 1ohm on the bench!! haha. It was cheap though, $30 from best buy 2ndtrun place on ebay. Hifonics all the way in this case unless you can score a deal!!!

Nope, I have a 12 Solo X in 3ft^3 box tuned to 40hertz. I have a piece of wire shelfing cut up and glued across the inside of the port. Nothing has come out. I packed that thing solid with one of my old pillows, though. With car tuning and polyfil, I think my actual tuning is around 34-35hertz. All I know is it gets real low and is the only twelve I've heard that can pull off the hairtrick. Here's a link to my youtube vid. That was with only 2000W rms, I have 3500W rms compliment of one beautiful Memphis 4kw right now. I'll post a vid with a better hairtrick soon, wih more powa!! Without the polyfil, I'm pretty sure my X would be toast by now!!

I just scanned for about six minutes. So, looks like the Dollar/Watt ratio is impressive, and the're under rated, and they're pretty dependable, and have 85% efficiency.... And just look at those internals. Sounds like a damn good amp for the money. Might have to look into this amp for a temp install. Or I could really use that kind of power for my dad's RE SE 10s. Who knows.

It sure as hell is. "Thank you gods of SMD!" I haven't touched an audiopipe product ever so I never would have seen the connection. I should probably look more into audiopipes products. Always classified them as a loud and cheap company. The kind of woofers you take to a comp to burb em, blow em, and throw em. I have seen an SPL setup with audiopipe covering the whole side of the van, but that was years ago. Thanks. Is the Ap30001d any good? Have you worked with it? Never become biased until you work with it, thats my audio philosophy. You should definately give me some brands to compare it to, just to give me an idea.

I am always looking at new amps and stumbled across this one running subs simular to my very first system when I was 15. Here's their website page. http://referencehifi.net/index.php?id=x3000 This thing is long as hell and is working those audiobahns over rather well. Who's worked with this amp or audio brand. The specs don't look too bad. They look pretty good to me. That variable subsonic and bass boost is a very nice feature for some off-brand. I don't plan on buying it but its good to know this kind of stuff. So who's worked with it, or maybe wants to work with it?

Wasn't aimed at you. Just trying to get around replies from anyone wanting the shop's name or my guy's name. You been alot of help. Like your XXX caption. Nothing better than a high excursion driver. Peace.
