Alright thanks man. I'll give it a shot.

Cool thanks man. I was planning on starting down by the universities, it's only 20-30 minutes away from my apartment. I'm scared though Pheonix is HUGE compared to albuquerque...i need a GPS... Oh if you couldn't already tell, i'm only 17 lol. I've been living on my own, but not in a different city... Yea if you go down by ASU on weekends things are really poppin. Just be careful of cops (lots of them). If you get a GPS it will make things alot easier on ya. If you ever want some help with anything just PM me and ill give you my number or something. Word man thanks. Sounds good

You got used to it.

I'm starting school in Avendale, Arizona at UTI, and I don't have enough money saved to cover very much time in my new apartment, I need a job FAST. UTI has a job assistance program thing, and the best buy right here is hiring installation techs. Yes, I am MECP certified, but other than that, i'm not sure what to expect in the interview and stuff? Anyone work as an installer at a place like this? any interview tips or like, what to expect??? I REALLY need this job lol...

Build the bus, then use it to test earthquake-proof buildings....

Absolutely. I've seen DTRs on the oscope. Soundstream's products are CEA compliant. They won't clear them if the "1700RMS" is clipped. I DO NOT HAVE LOW VOLTAGE. Where did u guys get that? i have a 140 amp alternator, 0 awg big 3, and the battery is not deep cycle but it isn't stock. It has a much higher CCA. The voltage didn't drop at all.. **edit, like i said before, the amp was NEVER hot to the touch. Now i know that is not any type of accurate indication, but with what you guys are saying, if it was hot enough to blow the power supply or short some solder joints etc... You'd think the heat sink would be hot too.

The tone was 50hz 0db, But i do have the electrical to back it up... Even if the voltage dropped, the amp has low voltage protect. There's no reason it should have blown the power supply...

Well good luck to you man. I hope you can figure out the funding and stuff to make it happen.

No prob. I'll look for a more specific email when I'm out of class. Lol, this is what you do in class I miss those days CAD and webscripting, anything in a lab really

Ya, maybe you'll have a good shot at a sponaor or something because of your situation, like, there can't be that many australians with SPL setups, or really high end installations, if it's THAT expensive..

Damn, that's too bad. Makes it hard to build a system...well, expensive at least...

Damn! i can't believe u had to pay that much, can't you order it on line?

I love discount, and they WILL warranty shit for a price, but it's worth it, I taco-ed my rim hitting a 4x4 on the freeway, and it was covered by my extended warranty. They also do free rotation/torque/air pressure monitor servicing.

Shit! you had to pay $700?? for the DTR 1700 ?? http://www.amazon.com/Soundstream-DTR1-1700-MonoBlock-D-Tower-Amplifier/dp/B002494IW6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1296550048&sr=8-3 ^^ that one?? DAMN man, wait, 700 US dollars? or pounds? or do you guys have your own money? sorry if that's a stupid ass question...

The clipping is because the gain can't be turned max, it makes a dirty signal. So how do I make a clean signal?? By not turning it max?? And what if I want more bass?? Do I just turn the gain up on the amp instead of the knob?? The gain will NOT give you "more bass" again, it isn't a volume knob. It is designed to MATCH the output of your headunit, to the input of your amp. That is, If your head unit puts out 2v, your gain should be set to 2v. That way, low volume on the HU = low volume on subs, full volume on HU = full volume on subs. It keeps it proportional. All you will accomplish by MAXING the gain knob, is reaching full volume on your subs TOO EARLY, and sending fat squares to the subs at full HU volume. You need to look into properly setting your gain, and If you can't get loud enough, you need more power

That is EXACTLY what happened, blew for no reason. about 30 seconds into a song... And i know right? I love these amps! 1700 RMS for $200 I'm waiting on warranty info/repair status, but it should be warrantied. I didn't do anything wrong, and as for the shop install thing, I'm MECP certified, so if the local shop counts for the warranty, i should too

I'm about to start at UTI in pheonix, well avendale, but same thing... And, Idk, I don't know ANYONE there... and I've never lived anywhere besides my home town before So who's out there? or what should i know about pheonix? or, where the ladys at But in more seriousness... Anything about the city or UTI i should know or you think is worth telling me?

Bump

Discount tire

Creativity, and CLASS. CLASS is my favorite aspect of any build i've seen, Steve's builds are absolutely what i say WOW to. and i'm not just a fan boy. For example....the navigator build...

x2 man.. And that made me cry. Idc what ya'll say...

You have to really start with what you want to get out of the military. Unless you plan to serve until you retire, you should look at it as an oppurtunity to learn skills that can transfer to civilian jobs later in life. Good scores on the ASVAB is DEFINETLY the place to start. That really opens the door to any MOS in the army, and i'm sure it's similar in other branches. The army's PT tests are mostly endurance and strength tests. (run X miles, Lift X pounds) There are some big guys in the army, and tiny sticks like me. The army has a wide range of MOS's, each have different physical requirments, for example... 19k/19d (army cav, M1 abrams crewman), you have to be able to lift 60lbs, because you would have to lift shells and 50 cals daily. The 152x MOS, (apache long bow crewman) require recruits UNDER a certain height, in order to meet space constraints on the door guns. The airforce on the other hand, has very specific build requirements for pilots/crewman... but the truth is, most jobs in the airforce are NOT as pilots. It's all stuff your recruiter will give u info on. I'd start with this: 1. Decide what you want to get out of or learn from the military 2. Figure out which branch offers you the best opportunity 3. Get the ASVAB score you need to get a better chance of getting the job you want. 4. Talk to a recruiter from the branch you decide on. Keep some things in mind, like, the army/marines NEED soldiers. IT will take a lot for them to turn you away...at the worst, you will have to work your ass a little harder in basic, to avoid getting recycled. OH, and ALWAYS GET PROMISES FROM RECRUTIERS IN WRITING

Personally, I love soundstream. If your asking about the amp... As for the price, i couldn't find it lower...

I think i'd cry. no, I KNOW i would cry....from frustration with his stupidity.....
