Another thing to consider box aside is just because you have a product that can take X amount of power and another that puts out Y amount of power Doesn't always mean you can hammer on it ALL day. Anytime you have a product playing at these power levels you are going to create heat. And A lot of it. A little common sense needs to play out when you have a larger stereo. Just cause a car can do 140mph, doesn't mean you should do it for the next 500 miles Also, what may work in one persons system, may not in yours. There is so many variables to everyone's setup

Post Approved!

Maybe post up a little about what you want in a box, the car its going in and where your at

No, Judging by the pics of the boards they have on their website, those are NOT from the same place as the DAT boards. About a year ago, they did show some designs that looked very similar to the ones coming out of the DAT buildhouse. Those have been long gone now. If you had taken a little time to compare the pics of what they are showing, and what we were using, it would clearly show a difference in design. It's this hearsay bullshit that gets a company a bad rap before they even get going. You took .02% of some form of the truth and ran off like you knew the full story. Sorry if it sounds a little rough, but it's people like you who bad mouth a company long before they have a chance to get going in the market. You go and take your hard earned money and try to start something like these guys have. Even if they are picking a design out of a book and slapping their name on it, it is still a shit ton of money to get something like this going. Maybe instead of people talking shit about a new company, they should embrace the company trying to offer a new product. Because I can tell you first hand that they are doing it for the love of the hobby and not to get rich.

I spent 40 bucks for my skilsaw 10" contractors table saw and built a simple table around it . Works great and I have cut countless sheets over the years with it. Cheap saw, good blade and a great fence.

double check all your grounds

My 2 LVL5 18's do very well in a 4th order. Soon to be 4 of them in a 4th. Overall for most people I would recommend the lvl4 over the 5's They are more forgiving in their application

Ahhhhh Good things come to people who......... Stack up cash to pay the devil.

Pm me some pics on that bell ya got there. Maybe I can dig up some power for ya

It is not uncommon for amps especially one of this size to run hot 120+ in some cases. Sometimes the protection section that monitors heat of the board car have a false reading and cause the amp to protect. OR it may have an issue. I had a batch of DAT 1k's that need a small fan added to the board to blow across the control board. In either case I would have it looked at.

I understand that it sucks that you are at state finals and you don't have your system working right. Shit happens. Hell I have had issues with my system the week before a finals for the past 10 years. So does so many other people. This issue is partly your fault for dropping the recone in and not checking the coils. Had you checked them, then maybe an exchange for the right coils wouldn't of wasted the expense of making and shipping that wrong voice coil recone for you. It's money and time thrown down the drain for both sides. IMO, posting on here that you were screwed is a complete dick move. Mistakes happen. Making a post knowing full well that the likeliness of any professional response will not happen until at least Monday during their normal business hours does nothing to help the company. Seams like everyone is so proud to "rep" a brand when their is something in "their" best interest, but god forbid that something does goes wrong because your going to make damn sure everyone knows "I got screwed" huh. Why don't you take a min to sit back and think of what real impact a post like this has on a company before posting. Because a real man of action response to your issue would of been to PM the rep you were dealing with, OR call the office 1st thing MONDAY ( real business hours) and have this issue addressed.

Band-wagoner

It's not the only one. I saw one at CES a few years back

Any trades?

the record in usaci for trunk 1000-up is like a 57 right now but thats a burp and outlaw. USACi numbers are hard to judge from. While I do like the format, and building something to do well in the kick has it's own challenges, It's too far off and too car dependent to be a usable comparison. When I get my hands on the car again, I will be doing by best to build something that will help him be the top of his class.

A couple things to consider if you want to get the "big hook up "and buy overseas. If it doesn't work when it comes in, you are shit out of luck. Of course they will all tell you that they will take care of you before the sale, but will quickly just sell you another at a little bit of a discount. Shipping from overseas can be expensive. Typically the only way to get a good shipping rate is to order a pallet or more. Anything less goes air freight and isn't cheap. Anytime you send something TT, you run the risk of never seeing product for what you have paid for. Or you might get something completely different then what you wanted. And think about this. What are you really going to do about it if you get screwed? fly over there and punch them in the face?

This is NOT something I suggest anyone do without pulling the cone. There is too much of a risk of losing metal savings into the coil gap. After I made the hole, I hit the edge with a black sharpie to hide the bare metal.

Without a doubt Ray is a true competitor. Always pushing his system beyond it's limits. Of course there will be damage as a result. It's this drive that has gotten him from a solid 154 to breakin a 56. Props to him for raising the bar of what's loud.

I added vents to some awhile back. All I had to do was drill into the baskets. I didn't have to pull them from the motor to do it. I have pics I can add tonight if ya need them. Pretty simple process overall.

My offer still stands

I don't think anyone said they haven't heard of Nick doing anything good lately, Just that he hasn't been seen around lately. As I am sure others who know him will agree, He is very talented in his box designs.

Mario is gonna make me work to make this one loud. Should be a fun challenge.

I haven't heard or seen anything from Nolte in a good long time now.

SQ and loud are different things... if you want SQ, you HAVE to pay for it.. 98% of the time.. my dad wants to run a SQ setup, and hes going to end up doing a full morel setup in his 300zx Brian.. once he does it, ill let you know how they sound, but you will have yours before him That's not entirely true. You can have a very good SQ setup up for a reasonable amount of money. I compete in a comp class against some of the best. I mean hell, the guy I lose to is a Grammy award winning sound mixer for Lucas Films. Sure they have some points on me in the lanes, However I have about 1/4 invested then they do too. If even that much. And to the every day average ear, you can't distinguish the difference in the cars over all sound to justify the price. It is no different in SPL, the only time it counts to be the best is in the lanes cause 99% of the other people who will ever listen to your car will never know the difference.

It took 4 Shop Packs of Damp Pro and Has 10 Sheets of LLP. I still have plans to order up some overkill pro to finish it off
