  1. i always use a grill brush to scrub my underbelly. dang man i hope everyhting gets goin soon dang man. sorry to hear that
  2. okay well youve got me beat lol. good luck with that man. hope you get some dough soon and get everything up and running Edit: beatbox- i woulda walked my happy ass to their house and thrown their phones and computers out the window. i hate theives
  3. easiest way to get out the subs with a flush ring. if they're heavy as balls. which the level 5 is. take the biggest allen key you can fit into the screw holes one on each side and use the L shape to pick it up out of the hole. now dont carry it around like that. but it beats using a flat head and almost poking a hole in your surround
  4. my mechman alternator came in this week but thanks to my low paying job i didnt have enough money to pay the last bit i owe to the shop and pay for my bills so i get to sit around and wait for my next paycheck in two weeks, as well as watch my alternator collect dust whats yalls story?
  5. contact. CJ18 or Dwright. they can help you out. there is also a local dealer list on the DC forum list
  6. NORTAN'S !!!!! FTW. hey D-Train does Nortan's have an db meter? im not going to order from them. jason jacks the prices up to much. for instance 499 for the 1.2k Edit: wade , yeah they have one. but its not a TL
  7. i would set the gains on the master amp and re strap them. then after check with the DD1 on the output end. to make sure that neither amp is clipping. ive never set gains on strapped amps so that seems like a safe way to double check everything and make sure that for some reason the slave amp isnt clipping. seeing how most amps can put out different wattage on their birth sheets even when rated at the same output level.
  8. i need a quote on two level 4 15's recones with dual tinsels. with the baskets as well as two level 3 15's with level 4 softparts. dual tinsels as well.. i just need to gather the estimates to figure out the budget. thanks guys
  9. you need to look at the back of your HU to see how many outputs you have. if you have two.. buy a set of two channel RCA's and plug that up to your 4 channel. if your 4 channel does not have a switch that will allow the amp to split the two channel RCAs you can buy a splitter and split the two channels into 4. then from your 4 channel youll take a set of two channel RCAs to the subwoofer amp. idk how much clearer i can explain that lol Edit: a set of two channel RCA's has one left and one right input. a 4 channel RCA has two sets of left and right inputs. you need to get a pair that will fit your HU
  10. If its a 4 channel it will have two sets of inputs and one set of output to send to your mono block. Many of the decent 4 channel amps will have a switch that changes a set of two channel rcas to 4 channels
  11. Depends on how many outputs available on the HU. And of your headunit has good output signal and voltage. In your case doing rcas from the headunit to the 4channel then from that to the subs amp would be ideal
  12. if your just goin for burps and have enough rise and good electrical it might be okay
  13. subd both. my youtube is not the same as my name in here. does that matter? Edit: just in case. Facebook: Drayton Callahan youtube: drayton904.
  14. the lanzar subs aren't that bad lol. those are ti baskets and it looks like 3hp motors I dunno yeah like i said the optidrive stuff is pretty decent. i wouldnt go so far as to throw them out immediately. but theres better stuff out there
  15. from what ive heard the lanzar optidrive stuff is decent. its not complete garbage. THERE IS MUCH BETTER STUFF OUT THERE.
  16. BOSS is garbage. youd be better off with a pair of pyle pro audio midbass drivers. go with FI, DC,DD, AQ, sundown, obsidian, skar
  17. Im @ 2.5 cubes on my lvl 5 12". Its much louder than the 1.6 CF box I made later to test. Both around 19 cubes of port per. Thats what I dont understand. The guy at DC said that 2.5cf box is too big. Why do they say thats too big, ..and you say yours is much louder in a bigger box? Everyone I talk to tells me something different. Is there any way to learn how this stuff works? I only want to build this one time. Im also trying to figure out what size port I should use. If I use a round 4" port, it needs to be 13.8" long. My box will only be about 10" deep. So, the port would have to stick out towards the rear of the car, quite a bit, ...depending on how close it is to the front of the box. If I use a 3" port, it only needs to be 7.2" long. BUT, ...a 3" port might be too small. I really dont know which to go with. your box needs to be built according to the power youll be putting on it. most of the DC 12's like 1.75 net. usually if you build the box smaller its to help control the sub because your going to throw more power than it can normally handle. smaller boxes will sound more tight and punchy, and larger boxes are going to sound more boomy. IMO you cannot really compare most of the other subs to the level 5. its way bigger and can handle way more power. thats why putting it in a larger box works well. is able to balance itself out. this is from what ive learned when building boxes. theres always different ways to build box's but in most applications this is true
  18. if your strapping the AQ's they will run at 1ohm each. but yes with the right electrical it will play all day at .5 ohm. Edit: the 1.2 k from DC is pretty manageable. just get a quote from cj18 up there
