[best sundown subs to play loud rather than low]

SA's do get loud, try a different box design out.

[Best SPL tone for a 29hz box?]

Get on a meter and do a sweep, then take what it says your peak was, and do a few burps below, at, and higher than the peak freq. from the sweep.

When I do a sweep it says my peak is 35hz, but if I burp it at 37hz I gain almost 1db.

All vehicles and setups are different, only way you'll know is test, test, and test some more!

[Glow In the Dark DC LETTERS on Dust Cap.]

Just get a blank dustcap, and get a glow in the dark DC sticker made, put it on dustcap and you'll be straight

I am mostly curious as to why the beer was not drank when it was bought?! Beer doesn't last long 'round here.. Hahahaha

[Official Long Lost Missing Member thread.]

The name escapes me but he had the silverado with 4 SMD 18s in Hawaii?

smokeumtires? He still post in team section, he's just been real busy.

[How many db's are you getting from your 12" level 3's?]

I have one XL 12 tuned @ 40hz with a fosgate T1500bdcp but I missed my opportunity to test it a few weeks ago cuz of the weather. I'd love to find out what it does, could anyone help point me in the right direction, I only ever had my systems tested at car shows when db drag was around. I'm in central pa

If you're willing to make the drive there is a dbdrag/topdog event in Delaware next Sunday. You could test there

[Someone needs to clear this up...]

EDIT: double post. My bad.

[Someone needs to clear this up...]

I used the CD to tune, but always use my iPod, haven't had a problem. Hell, before I had the DD-1 thrown on it with the CD, I tuned it with the iPod and it was spot on with the DD-1/CD combo.

[About 4000rms]

Yes there will be a difference with the 220a alt compared to your 120a alt. I have 2 d3100s and a d4700, 200a singer alt powering my aq3500 @ .5 and I normally drop down to 13.1. You're headed in the right direction but I think you'll need a bit more electrical

[Lots of Skar stuff in this here video from Russia]

Hey, Is that Brian Bosworth still rockin' a pair of Zubaz in Russia?

But you aren't going to say anything about the tree, ontop of the truck in the background?.. Hahahahaha

[Lots of Skar stuff in this here video from Russia]

Cool video.

But wtf was up with the duct tape around the positives/negatives at 5:42??

one of the competition orgs here requires that the terminals on the bats have to be covered to prevent say dropping a wrench dropped back there from shorting the bats

They have to be covered up on the amp like that? Weird.. Haha, was just curious what was going on there!

[Lots of Skar stuff in this here video from Russia]

[Your first amplifier - what was it?]

Kicker ZX300.1, I didn't start out too bad

[Suggestions for a 3.5k Watt system?]

I'll get one 3400 then, most I can afford for now.

Then save up, nothing worse than rushing. If I was you, I would get 2 D3100's in the back and call it a day.

[Suggestions for a 3.5k Watt system?]

I have the aq3500 at .5, 200a alt, d4700, amd 2 d3100s, I drop to 13.1

[DC Audio >>> My Double Baffle :(]

Any sort of bracing inside the box? Just curious, never saw you say anything about bracing

[looking for the perfect dc sub specs n build]

I think the 9500 series are not neo motors with an RMS of 1500. It's the Z series that is. Correct me if i'm wrong.

You're correct. The Z is the neo, but the rating on the 95 is a joke. That thing will take abuse.

[2 SA-12's one a Kicker ZX2500.1 too much power?]

I sort of agree with smashedz, manufacturers rate subs certain power for a reason. Just because other people can throw a crap ton of power at certain subs doesn't mean anybody can. Your problem sounds like an excursion problem though which is weird... because when I had my 4 sa-12's I could full tilt them on a sweep that went down to 9hz, never had a problem with my tinsels due to "slack". Sounds like a problem with your box.

[Get more voltage for $75 - voltage boost module sale !!]

Wish they were available for MINI Cooper's, even though I'd probably be the only person to buy one... Oh well haha

[Z v.3 Recommended Power]

After so much power, you aren't going to gain anything from giving it more.. It does have mechanical/thermal limits.

So my advice is give it rated power, and then go from there with your goals.

[Z v.3 Recommended Power]

My aq2200 isn't enough for my z it's just begging for more

How exactly does a sub "beg" for more?

[Mini Cooper Custom Stereo ALPINE AUDISON DYNAUDIO INE-W927HD Navigation]

Never knew you could buy the the clips. Thanks for the info!

[Mini Cooper Custom Stereo ALPINE AUDISON DYNAUDIO INE-W927HD Navigation]

Looks nice. Not sure how similar those A-pillars are to mine, but how did you remove them without breaking the clips that latch them in place? From what I have looked up, they are a 1 time piece.

[I'm a sundown guy now]

Eh, I had my SA's wanging full tilt minutes after I got them installed. No problems.

[I'm a sundown guy now]

Congrats on your purchase, I know you'll like them!
