  1. Yeah but taking a small chinese layer of paint off the basket is cake and you can do it by hand easily, for the 10$ sundown charges for a basket I save time and tools. I bought more then a few of sundown yardsale sa12's and 10's to build for friends and some other people, process was much easier/faster and didnt require power tools. Just my 2c....

    Oh and the surround and spider was glued onto paint on my sa12 when I got it....never heard of them having a spider/surround problem. Type-r's are not sa's...just sayin.

    I can clean a basket quicker then swapping it, having proper tools goes along way.

    Never did i say sundown had an issue. But why take a chance if it takes an extra 2 min to clean a basket

  2. Soo what about that paint thats on the new baskets? Say fuck it and glue over it? Lol....

    I've noticed that most manufacturers don't take the time to do it on their subs when they build them..

    Makes me wonder..

    Because the come from china... Thats to much work to do, my SSDs you cam see that they cleaned them, same with my btls, sp4 and other Fi/aa subs ive seen.

    You need a rough surface for the glue to attach too. The older alpine type Rs always had surrounds comming off the basket if for whatever reason a screw head got under the surround

  3. Unless it was a manufacture defect it probably is not under warranty, if the sub is bad you will need a recone, I suggest buying a basket too for a few bicks extra and it makes the process easier.

    Uhhh..... How is replacing the basket making it easier???

    Dmm at conection at smp, if good, go to terminal on box if there is one, if good go to the sub. That will tell you where the issue is. Its been said a few times now.

    OR "Pop" test the sub.

  4. How am I missing the point? My first reply was that Thor isn't a numbers guy and then tried to put someone else's lofty SPL claims in perspective.

    You can't compare a numbers build to an SPL build. Then a few people called BS on my claims. It did get derailed a bit. I apologize.

    But having been a part of the loudest trunk on the planet for the last 3-4 years... I thought I was entitled to an opinion.

    There is a difference in a trunk playing 55hz to reach numbers vs a trunk that is build to demo and smash the fuck out of people. Playing some 50+hz song on the meter doesn't mean shit. I can assure you that that 60 or what ever number he is putting up with those 10's will sound totally different vs a musical install that will put up 153's at 32,34-36 and even 40. How do you classify your loudest trunk on the planet? Something that will punish the meter or something that will demo 30+ minutes and still put up over a 50. Something that can only play 55 or 56hz or something that will murder 26-40hz all day long?

    Just curious.. I honestly dont give a shit about numbers.. I could care less. Most of the time when im at a show im hammered off vodka anyway. The last show i did i purposely parked my car on the side of the lanes and ran my subs full clip full tilt for 25+ minutes until they died said fuck it went to hooters and hit on some bitches..

    I dont even know why I got started.. sigh.. gotta love the audio world.. feels good to have an empty car and trunk

  5. just visited XS power's site to verify, but they recommend the 5100R starter bat for that car man. The 680 is tiny compared to 5100, maybe it just doesn't have enough reserve to start the car?

    have you seen the size of a STOCK honda batt? a lawnmower battery might be bigger.. hahahaha

    also, a batt can float fine and be completely dead. ive had a few batts do this
