now if we can get two Nightshade 18's in there..... lmao
-
the old school RF amps that looked like a grill? I think that was designed on purpose by the peeps at RF... that way you could grill a steak while waiting for your run at the meter during shows.
-
thor trunk is 40 deep by 40 wide by 20 tall, basically the only real reason i have trouble with boxes is the openings are too small to get them in, running 2 level 4 12's of powerbass 3k and two batts
-
oh and the box is 6.3 cubes with over 3 cubes of port.
hehehe
The hummer is wired at 2 ohm per amp, with box rise at 7.x ohm (don't remember exact number sorry) it's doing 4100 per pair of 18"... 160dB+
the boswell's metro is set a 1ohm nom... box rise is at 3.7ohm 159dB
-
I clamped 1009 watts at 5.3 ohm after box rise. Nominal load at .5ohm. Single Sundown saz3500 (doing 1009 at 5.3ohm is decent when it should be around 700 or so). Two DD3515. Excessive Amperage alternator and two Batcap 2000.
My best scores are
152.8dB in the kick at 46-48hz.... 152.0 in the kick playing music... 149.5dB sealed on the dash at 45-48hz... 148.6 sealed on the dash on music... and at the headrest a 150.0 on music and a 150.4 at 43-45hz
and I'm not done.
Thanks for the kind words by the way...
and Greg... your score is not bad bro. Yea a box change could really help you out... but you have got to do the right box.

I am ready for the comp. New box sounds great! I can't wait to see what it does on the meter.
is it the one I talked to you about? lol
-
What was it wired to before rise? And what modifications have been made to the 3500s
If u are asking about my setup... It's wired at .5 nominal. Rise to 5.3
-
I just got one of these monsters...
with box rise at 5.3 ohm....
I clamped 1009 watts...
score...
152.8dB
150.0dB at the headrest -
oh yea i will be there Ric...are there gonna be any raffles?
I have a Pioneer cd player that will be up for grabs...
-
i'd like to see another Sundown 2500 and another AA Mayhem 12" in there...
-
the savings on gas is one thing... saving brakes is another... Trippi's Hummer is like a Tank with the wall in there.. and it's Birch... if it was MDF... GOOD LORD... lol
-
yea what chode said. lol
Katie will be running in truck/suv. lol
-
what ply is that rick? it might be worth it to drive a little bit to get it cheaper in bulk thats a ton more per sheet that I would pay.
11 layer Birch my friend.
It's cabinet grade on both sides.
you can find the Birch/Maple ply a tad cheaper at around 44.00 a sheet.
-
Congrats Bro.
Rick deserves major props for giving all us bassheads a place to go and play every month. Its very rare for a shop around here to have 2 comps a year. Always a good time there for sure.
yea and now we do a NSPL event and an IASCA event every month... TWO SHOWS A MONTH!
-
you won't find anything other than 3/4" Birch in my shop.
This stuff costs me between 52.00 and 68.00 a sheet... last load was 64.00 each 4x8 sheet

honestly him making a post on a forum that MILLIONS of people see INCLUDING other DC reps, team members was a smart move on his part. MAINLY b/c at this moment it seems to have worked VERY QUICKLY to get a response. It does suck for DC that it was posted, but you have to also understand where he is coming from.
He is at WORLD FINALS to show his work and to rep DC. He said it was a "DC FAIL". I'm sorry if that bent some of you out of shape, but bottom line... If he ordered a dual 2 and got a dual 1... then it was in fact... a "DC FAIL". If it was titled "DD FAIL" then everyone here would be more like "let me send you a DC for free to run it in it's place". lol...
Seriously people he didn't say ONE THING out of line so quit jumping on his ass. It actually makes you all look worse. Handle this the professional way. He is the consumer.
i have had stuff break before and not ran and posted a big ass "brand X" FAIL as a topic on a forum.
I deleted that post after I re-read the thread... I thought he was AT WORLD FINALS now... sorry. again, that's why I deleted it.
Saying it was a fail is a bit harsh... as like I stated before mistakes happen, it's how they fix it that counts... FINALS is only a week away... I would be willing to bet that Rusty and CJ will get you taken care of in plenty of time sir. Maybe a better way to word the title of the thread is "PLEASE SOMEONE FROM DC HELP!!" They did make a MISTAKE... but they have not FAILED. (not yet at least... give them time to fix it this week for you)
-
I personally see nothing wrong with this post either.
The biggest issue and the reason some are upset with the post is b/c of all the DC huggers. lol
HOWEVER...
With this post comes responsibility... WHEN DC makes it right... PLEASE make sure you post what they did to help the situation. Chode is right in that people make mistakes... it's how they come to a resolution of the mistake that makes them a great company... or not.
Rusty is a good guy, and I'm sure he will do his best to take care of you.
-
i'm about 95% sure i will be there, me against you Ric, 0-2500!!!!
what kind of setup are you running?
I'm doing ok with my truck... but not super. lol... it's really built more to tear your head up a bit. hahaha
I clamped only 1009 watts doing a 148.4 op the dash sealed up and a 152.3 in the kick. Stock alternator, Stock battery.

disconnecting one channel at a time will tell you where the issue may lie. certainly try that.
another culprit could be a defective rca.
yet another could be a pinched rca, or even remote wire. I've seen that happen as well.
best way to rule out the amp is to disconnect all channels except one. let it play if no problems, hook up the next channel... and repeat. if you get to say the third set and it cuts off... disconnect that channel and hook up the next. if no problems then you need to check everything in that third run (again thats an example) process of elimination.
but again, check rca, etc.
and yet another... make sure the input voltage going into the amp does not exceed the input voltage of what the amp can handle. I had that issue with an amp in the past... the company that made the amp also made the eq I was using. the problem was the eq was a 7volt eq... their amps only took 4volt input. lol

bump.... ONE WEEK LEFT!!!
WHO'S COMING!???!?!

While on topic, DD recommends box ~4 C.F. Now, i usually get highest score around 43-44hz, so box should be tuned to around 35-36 hz?
Build the enclosure fir the vehicle not the sub. Your car itself is part of your enclosure in a way.
remember that.
