  1. Giant... I have one but it is currently in route to Tony to get looked at... when I tuned up trippi's hummer... the SD16k... it made a weird noise, showed full distortion (with the gains all the way down) and then stopped working correctly. So I'm sending it in for a tune up. hahaha. it was one of the first original few (# 004) so it was one of the prototypes and didn't have all the kinks worked out....or it didn't like that sd amp. haha anyway... as soon as it comes back, I got you.
  2. personally I gained most of my knowledge... and I know someone on here will agree with me... most of what I know... I learned from Dr. Subwoofer on YouTube. don't believe me... ask TwistedChild420. He has met him. that guy is a genius.
  3. Gary Biggs, Mark Eldridge, Steve Brown, Chris Yato, Harry Kimura and this list could go on for days. there are a lot of people in the audio biz and you can learn from all of them. That is why I love this so much. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW EVERYTHING. just when you think you have it figured out... WRONG. hahaha my favorite people to learn from are other competitors, shops, and customers. Trust me when I say I learned a lot with Trippi. lmao.
  4. here's a link to the facebook page... http://www.facebook.com/events/164696350307485/ so you can let us know if you are coming... 3X NSPL with StreetSlam World Records can be set at this event!
  5. Nathan. I'm still waiting on that dealer pack! lmao and a price list too dude. can I order and sell these batts at this price as well or is it a Superbuy thing only? just wondering... thinking maybe the xp3k's for the YUKON are they actually just as strong as the D3100? I want to get it right the first time...
  6. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to every track yet. But I'll check it all out. He does all the mixing and rapping on it. He still learning the recording equipment too. But idvsay he's pointed in the right direction. He's getting me about 50 CDs to hand out at the TDH show this Sunday. They are free (the CDs) just want to see some ya banging it in a vid if you like it.

  10. This is a 220 amp alternator from Excessive Amperage. It was powdercoated to match the paint on my truck which was an 04 Dodge Ram 4.7L v8 engine but it will work on quite a few other dodge/chrysler vehicles. It also has an external regulator for cranking up the voltage to where you need it. I had my truck set at 14.9v This is a 750.00 setup and I'm asking 550.00 shipped in the USA. It was only on my truck for two months and I have just sold the truck today.
  11. this is a 1200.00 amplifier (when new) I have had it in my 04 Dodge Ram for a few years now and it helped me get SQ championship in Maryland in the Master class 3 years in a row. Great amplifier with superb sound. rated at 800 watts but it will do more than that... if you want a great SQ amp this is the one! I'm asking 550.00 shipped in the USA. 400.00 plus shipping.
  12. sounds like your box is coming apart a friend of mine had the same issue pulled the carpet back off the box and you could see it coming apart just a thought This is what I'm thinking it is. This was my first guess. The problem is if it plays20hz fine, and 40hz fine... but makes that noise at 30... that rules out the subsonic and points more towards sub or enclosure. Yikes, i will have to call the guy and ask what the box is tuned to. Didnt know you could bottem out at 30 HZ but play 40hz and 20hz just fine? the subs do make a clapping noise almost when bass plays if you lay your head near the box, ( no matter what song ) This will rule out the sub or the box itself. If the noise goes away free air, then the enclosure is most likely coming apart. I'm not sure how the shop built the box, but if they do what most do... then it's glued and stapled (air nailed) together. I don't care what anyone says... use screws.
  13. At higher spl or where low frequencies are loud n shakin... It's going to be an issue with ANY deck with a front mount USB. Look for one with a rear USB.
  14. ray and nate are right... basically it's shaking the face so much that its losing the connection. an extension cable wont fix it... if you have a usb connection on the back you can try that... I know on some of the JVC units it will play on the one in the back but not the one on the face. again, mainly b/c it's shakin the hell outa the face. lol... my sony gtx930... makes the whole face cutoff and back on (still plays) b/c the face itself loses connection. lmao... but I was doing 154's on music too
  15. honestly bro... that is a problem with a lot of head units when you have a high spl setup. (or low tuned bass that does some shakin) not much i've found that you can do... except use the 3.5mm headphone jack if available.
  16. my first amplifier I ever owned was a Radion eighty watt amplifier. I had it on a Pyramid 10" phase 3 subwoofer. no pictures exist of either. (i'm old school like Meade where your eyes where your camera and your brain was the hard drive) I owned some Pyramid amps, Urban Audio, AlpHine (yes with an H), MTX, and Sherwood (the 240!!) but... My first REAL amplifier was a PPI Art Series amplifier. I had two of them, the a600 for the sub and the a404 for my highs. I loved those amps. got my first trophy with them.
  17. Well you would be happy to know that I've only blown two sundown woofers. Both were at my hands. Lmao. One in the metro and one that I did some testing with and I really gave it hell...ripped the cone from the former. I think a thick bead of epoxy like u rebuilt for the metro testing would help that if that has been any type of issue with other competitors. But as far as a daily setup... The sa woofers are top performers. Be proud of a well built woofer
  18. lmao... Jacob you don't even want to know the size of some of the boxes I've done then. You'd have a heart attack. hahaha
  19. we have one in Katie's s10 right now... running two Sundown sa8" and doing a 146.5dB at 38hz. they are strong amplifiers but but our goal is a Sundown 2500 on her 8's. EDIT: I see in your signature that you are running a Sundown saz1500d.... Keep the Sundown. The 1500d from Sundown is a stronger amplifier than the dBdrive. If you are serious about the dBdrive, we'll trade you. lol
  20. Sound? as in how my ears feel? how my body feels after this? lol well no meter involved... the DD subs were nasty. hit extremely hard and would knock the wind right out of you. everyone that heard it loved it. the sundowns (just two 15" sa) sounded fantastic. I loved the way they sounded. They got nasty loud, very tight and clean. I'd say a bit tighter and cleaner even than the DD's... but the DD's had more impact overall... now... with the four sa12... hands down. NASTY freq is a bit lower. check. hair tricks. check. back massage. check. punchy. check. drills you in your head. check. I have found my favorite budget minded sub. period. the sa series subs 8", 12", and 15" subs (never tested a 10" but i'm sure its equally as impressive) are in my opinion the absolute best all around daily sub for it's price, performance ratio.
