  1. I spent $4500 on my JET with a full 80x200 downdraft table with an exacta-fence (70" long) and a digital clamp pusher....Built the saw into the wood room at Eclipse, built 3 cars and it was never used again. anything less seems like caveman shit to me. the fence was the most important part...the downdraft table kept EVERYTHING clean...ALWAYS

  2. The 5000d will run at .5-ohm as long as the voltage is 15v or under. RIGHT AT 15v the amp shuts off. I tested this amp for weeks trying to find the happy point. it seems this amp LOVES low impedance, but only when voltage is at 15 or lower. this is a 1-ohm amp above 15v.

    it will pull MASSIVE current at .5-ohm...like 700+amps, so expect to blow fuses if you run for more than 20 seconds or so at full output. If you are burping for comps either don't fuse (I hate not fusing but you SPL guys think fuses eat dB's) or use 200A fuses paralleled on each power cable. Don't forget to feed it,either...3 batteries per amp and upgrade your alt.

  3. MOST amps draw about 0,3-0,5A for the turn on. 10001bd draws about 4A

    i call BS, prove me wrong. ;)

    LMFAO!!!

    if i still had it or my T500.2 i would measure it. i dont believe it though.

    About 8 years ago I installed a T10001bt that blew the remote out on 3 different radios (1 Alpine 2 kenwoods) in a day while tuning. I finally decided to check current draw and it was at 4 amps. Put it on a relay, done...never saw it again.

  4. It's not cheap but I found it cheaper. RE Audio (US Amps) IMO has a lot of clarity in they're amps. Both amps arenormally $300 but I found it for $88 on eBay new so it's fitting my budget more lol. I'm running Kicker KS65.2 components

    with those speakers you won't notice a difference between classes

  5. Kranny, you and I normally agree on stuff...yes, for solid SQ AB wins. but modern class D full range amps sound very good, and most people won't notice a difference...MOST people. As far as efficiency goes...AB amps are most efficient at 80-95% power...running as high as 70%. usually they will be about 40% efficient. For the average joe I'd recommend the full range D just because he can get more power with a smaller footprint and will be just as happy with it.

  6. I have rca's wire-tied to 0awg from front to back with absolutely zero noise :shrug:

    x2

    While in theory running them next to each other causes noise, in practice (as long as you have decent rcas) you won't have a problem. The couple times I've done it tells me it isn't a huge deal. Or if there is noise, its so minimal that it doesn't even matter.

    Try and run them separate from each other. Better to be safe than sorry. But if for whatever reason running them separately isn't possible, put them together. Maybe not put all the trim panels back in case you do have noise, but I SERIOUSLY doubt you will.

    I always run a ground wire from the radio chassis to the amplifiers. I can use the shittiest RCA's and ground points in the car and still won't get noise.
