lol.... this. Uhh... What?

Do the Soundstream RUB1.2500Ds do rated?

This is a post for a friend. He wants a 2000-2500w amp (1 ohm) for sub duty and wants to spend as little as possible. Assuming he already has electrical and subs to take that power - what are his options?

I can't seem to find a 320kbps version of that song(or any version for that matter). Could someone here help a brother out?

I totally fell for that haha. Nice troll

I feel like I had a brain fart. I kept on wondering what I was doing wrong / checking the sub, etc... It turns out that my ancient voltmeter has a loose connection on the ohms terminal. I used my friends multimeter to debug and it reads the resistance just fine. Its exactly 4.0 ohms

I should add that I don't have a clamp. If I hook up my DMM right to one of the coils, it measures zero and changes if I tap the sub. And let me clarify my box rise question: I want to wire the sub to 2 ohms, but my amp is rated for 4 ohms and I was wondering if I could safely have it wired. If I had a clamp, then it wouldn't have a problem - but I don't.

I have a DVC power acoustik mofo. Since it's a power acoustik... I don't really trust their specs. How can I measure the resistance of a coil? And a side question: what is typical box rise?

Pay someone else to deal with that and (possibly) build it too

No offense taken. But it's a teenager's budget =/ and people's first cars are rarely perfect. I could go more if it was really worth it, but I don't want to.

Both are within price range. What would you do? For sure a Tahoe if you can find a nice one with a lowish amount of miles on it. A lot more space and I'm pretty sure you can fit more Alts in the future Years? I would like to avoid spending more than about 2k if possible as a loose budget

Haha YUP Ryan's port could swallow a man. That thing is no joke!

My only caveat is that it needs to sit at least 4 with the system in it. Blowthrough possibly? What would you recommend?

You didn't climax did you? I'd rather not answer

Hahaha. Mine was me sitting in anticipation, then a look of utter suprise, then a HUGE smile, then me zoning out in pure bliss

Explorer. Can they hold 3-4 alts? And what years?

Hahaha. One of my friends ended up bailing out. I was giddy with excitement! I ended up sticking my head in the port after a couple songs

The only way I can describe it is a full body experience. I even changed my mind on what car to get because of it. I used to want a small nimble car, now I want an suv with space for alternators and extra batteries and such. I until then, the loudest thing I heard was about 130 db - so it was a HUGE suprise for me! Heck, does anyone know of a good cheap spacy car that has room for 4 15s or so?

Could I get the songs too?

Link is broken

No? I always thought that distortion was just as bad,kuz all you would be doing is making that distortion louder through the amp. Not tryn to say your wrong.I know you know what your talking about.I just want to get my facts straight As I understand it: clipping and the resultant sawing off of the sine wave is what kills the driver. Distortion can be anything that varies from a perfect sine wave. Clipping is always distortion, but distortion is not always clipping. The big thing to look out for is clipping in bass boosted songs. If there is a bit of distortion from a guitar or something - I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure that what you are hearing isn't clipping and you should be fine.

You are not building nothing, you are cutting a plug off a heater and hooking it up to a $4 potentiometer from radio shack and hooking it up to your speaker outputs. And yes, you are achieving nothing but getting test results reputable manufactures already list at multiple voltages and impedance's. However since you dont have the needed tools to test the acutal output of an amplifier all your going to do is make a heater hot, likes intended purpose. facepalm...... You certainly know how to kill a man's spirit don't you...
