  1. ok guys got 2 12" sundown sa12 and honestly very dissapointed

    had it on a orion 1200D and honestly my 2 12" t3 audio t600 subs played alot louder

    im not a big big fan of lows however looking for a sub that would excel from 35hz + playing note in the 40hz extremely well

    so hence i want to able to get lows however i want it to be loudd

    my mids is not car audio mids. i use pro audio mids consisting of 2 10" RCF midbass with 2 1" compression drivers which are in external boxes to play outside the car

    so what is the best sub sundown have to offer me that would be able to play high notes very well and yet i can get lows ?

    So in the title you want to play louder than lower, yet two references in your post state you still want to be able to play low. As far as comparing the SA-12's to the T3 audio 12's, did you just simply, switch the subs out in the same box? If so that is probably the reason why. Different subs like different enclosures. ANd to be honest, that is key to getting what you want. A properly designed box will give you the results you want.

  2. No, when Matching gains, you set both. Then hook a DMM up to them to read the output voltage. Then you take the lower of the two numbers, and make sure both your amps are showing the exact same number.

    you are correct if i was to run each amp as a single setup but when u strap the master controls both amps .

    If the technology of that specific amplifier is like that, where you set all settings on master amp than yes, leave the slave alone. I lokoed past that fact when I was explaining. I was thinking of using 2 non strappable amplifiers to gain match.

  3. I work at an audio shop, and after multiple inquires to sundown, there is hardly any mark up on their products. I can understand the frustration of being told one thing and then another a short time later. But at the end of the day the shop has to make money. Selling those subs to you for 220 a piece before tax probably would have made the shop 40 bucks a woofer. Where as say selling a Rockford t1 for 400 just made the shop 200 bucks. It's all in how companies mark up their product that determines how much a shop can charge.

    they have to make money sure, but why lie to him to do it?

    Was it the shop owner or the employee that said they would price match? Maybe the employee lied to get you there and then asked the owner after the fact. Kinda what it sounds like.

    That could be it. I agree with you OP 100%. I would be down to make that type of trup also, but to make that trip just to get lied to. It don't work like that with me. I have strong integrity, if I tell you I am going to be here at a certain time, or I can do X for this person. I do it, I don't change while someone is on their way. Good job not caving, because I know that big of a trip could make someone just say fuck it and spend the extra money. But it is all about integrity, you won't go anywhere in life with out.

  4. Anything and everything that effects the source of your signal. All crossovers set to off if possible. If not do what you said about the filters for hpf and lpf. Bass boost always off, any eq setting, set to 0 flat or off.

    ok beleive i got it now so lpf all way up hpf all way down x-over on flat and headunit eq's on flat and im good to go from there?

    yes lol

  5. I fought with my TSX hu for months. Finally gave up, sold everything, and started over in a dumber vehicle.....

    No matter what i did, (short of adding a RF 3sixty.2), i couldnt get ALL 20-20k freqs. So, i had to have my dsp SUM the channels, and give me what it could.

    The lows, just didnt sound right.......

    Good luck anyway.

    Did you ever replace that factory HU? Or all those problems where all factory things? Just curious, my friend did want to get a double din to replace the stock one.

    No. The Acura TSX oem HU has 90% of everything in it. From Heat/AC, to the fucking cruise control. Swapping it out like steve in his lex, was not a option.

    its ok. It all worked out. Im enjoyin my new plat form, and the car is happier with out all the weight, and getting worked over day after day. ;)

    Ok thanks for the info. When we talked about it he was talking about some stuff that it would be possible. Well when ever he ends up getting in touch with me to actually do something to his car I'll look more into it.

  7. Alan. Louisville is an international hub for ups. So just about everything goes through there. Cause I had a package come from CA. Went to Louisville then shipped to Indianapolis then to my house. Louisville is 15mins from my house. Indy is 1.5hours. My buddy works for ups so I asked him and that's what he told me.

    What probably happened, is your packages got misloaded so it was sent from where they found it.
