I have the stl 500.4 and yes it gets warm but it does the job well and the shop I deal with replaced the amp for me 2 months ago because I fried it so I stand by it because of the shop owner and what I paid for it but to each his own

Yeah its worth it to spend more time on prep to make sure you dont get it anywhere you dont want it, The brand Great stuff seems to be the best, I use it at work sometimes for various seals doing HVAC and i put a couple cans up in my roof and it cut WAY back on my roof flex. I took my time and was real careful not to get it anywhere, I did get it all over my hands but better that than my truck.
did u use deadener before the foam or straight foam. im wanting to do the same to my truck.

Maxx-Link or link amps if the impedence is right
what he said.

Okay, so far it looks like the DC's are pulling ahead but for my lazy a$$ I added a poll so I don't have to go through and see what the count is.
I know 2 18's=more cone area but I don't have enough room to do them ported so they have to be sealed
then do 1 18 ported. at 7cbft i think it would do better then both 18's sealed but i could be wrong. but 2 12's in the right box can get pretty damn loud at 3k
-
no what hes saying is that you can run 3 or 4 subs at once off of that amp.
-
I know. You want sub forward, port up?
Using the rear wall of the box, center the port. You will have to make the sides for it also. Having a port that is 40+ inches wide won't yield the result you want. So you would have to make a 3 sided hole in the top of the box in the center/rear side, that is 15 inches wide and (going toward the front of the box 3 inches)
and the overall dementions for the box would 18 inches tall x 43 inches wide x 15 inches deep.
Understand?
man i really appreciate the help. with the earlier post you gave me i was like i know thats english but i got lost. you have been a huge help.how far down would the port go into the box.
-

i think you mean that it will have the port on the side of the box instead of the back of box. im looking to have the port at the rear and the length of the box. so another words if i where to say 43x17x15 and i would have sub facing forward and then at the top of the back of the box there would be a lets just say 1in port that was 41 in long and the back and top of the box. can i do this with those dimensions beaing at 4cbft and tuned under 35hz. if not what would you suggest.
-
Ok, this is slot port, probably the only way it'll work. 18H X 43W X 15D will yield, before displacement, a tuning of 32.41 (will go up after sub is in) if it is 15"W X 3"H X 17" long. It would be an L shapped port, so you would have to bend it after the first 15" and make a 2" extension perpendicular.
ok you just made me seem retarded. can you say that in spanish because what you typed in english made me start drooling from the mouth and then i started hitting myself in the head. no but seriously i think i know what you are sayin i just can visualize it.
-
I could only get it below 35hz by using AERO PORTS. 3 4" aero ports at 15" long will get you to 34.1hz before sub displacement with 4.35^3 ft before displacement.
This is with the box being 40W x 15D x 17H. or if you made them 17" long, drop tuning to about 32hz.
i appreciate the help but i need a slot port at the rear of box. and only reason being ive had diff setups in this truck and the slot at the rear just sounds better to my ear. the box can get longer and taller if need be. like i said maybe 45 in long and nothing over 20 in for the height. i dont think i mentioned it needs to be atleast 4cbft.
-
are you building the box out of 3/4" wood?
yeah 3/4 birch and double baffle
-
ok im going to build a box sunday. i have an RESX 15d4 running right at 1500 watts. the box can be 40in long and the height can be 17in and the depth can be no more than 15. reasing im posting this question i need the sub to fire forward and port up. this is what sounds good in my truck. but i want the slot to be the legnth of the box another words sub forward slot port up at the rear of box. but i need so see if i can get it to around 35hz and lower. i just dont know how to figure the width and depth of the port. if need be the box can be taller or but preferably not longer. but i can go 45 in legnth if need be.
-
ok cool, thats what i was hoping for
yeah now that they are available i cant purchase the 8 that i wanted. but from what i gather they can get loud. i just wanted to see how low i could get them. but good luck.the only other brand i would consider for an 8 is the atomic but they are like 1 million dollars a piece.
-
the one here in NC still has RF products for dirt cheap
-
this happened to me. but for somereason the fuse by the battery blew. the amp isnt internally fused so i got lucky i guess. still works fine lol and plus the car was off
yeah mine was off to. but when i turned it on i got nothing. then i realized what the hell i did.
-
buy a little more wire and color code them or put black tape on the negative. that way this will never happen again
wiring color wasnt the issue i just looked at the amp wrong when i went to wire it back up.
-
well i have the other SS 4.500 on lay away but i guess now ill just get that one out sooner than later and just send this one off to SS and see what happerns
-
Internal fuses on the amp?
i just meant theres no fuses for me to check.and yes i have a distro block but its not fused from the power to the second amp and just the main 0gauge coming from battery.
-
well i went to redo some wiring on my amps and when i rehooked my soundstream4.500 i hooked ground to power and power to ground. needless to say the amp i think is now junk. the blue power light stays on even if ignition is off. there are no external fuses to check on this amp. the shop where i buy my shit from told me to bring it to him and he will bench it and see what happens. i cant believe i did this. ive had no bump or sound for like 2 mths. and i traded a guy for my 2 rf hx 10's with a virtual technologies box for an resx 15. so i was getting everything ready and now i only have bump and nothing else.

i never noticed the statue of liberty tat. but that lion looks sick. ive got 6 tats on my right bicep that look like one. and when i first met my fiance she shocked the hell out of me. she has both upper arms and back done. she has a geisha tied in chains in a waterfall that i love to death. and on her back she has a cherry blosom tree thats hald dead and alive. she had a bad childhood and the geisha represents the bitch she has to keep chained up and the tree represents rebirth. i need to go wake her up and get her tats on here. she wants a sleeve but where we work it wouldnt be cool. hope im not thread jacking
