I was surfing around the forums earlier today and when I hit the new content tab it brought me to a page that said I don't have permission to access the forums...and had an error code of 2000. I tried refreshing the page a couple times and it kept doing it so I just went and did something else for a while. When I came back and refreshed the page it was fine. It happened to me a couple months back once then never happened again till this morning and then it happened again just a little bit ago so I figured I should make a mention of it here to see if it's something going wrong. If it happens again ill make sure to snap a screenshot. Oh and it's on mobile....Safari for iPhone.

I wouldn't mind lvl 4's but my budget keeps rising at this rate it'll keep growing and i wont ever buy anything.. I started with $2k budget then $3k, now im a little above $4k. But i've considered it a lot but if i up the sub's i'll need to up the amp too. That'll be my second stage build. You don't HAVE to up the amp initially if you up the subs...but you can always upgrade later after you save some money up and then your subs will be ready to handle the upgrade when it happens. Just my .02

The difference between 1ohm and 2ohms on his amp is 250w...hardly going to hear a difference. You are right...he will most likely be fine running at 1ohm, the SA subs are beasts and have been proven to take quite a bit of abuse...BUT my whole argument this whole time is that we don't know if the op is capable of overpowering a sub. It doesn't take much to burn up a coil if you don't know how it happens or what you are doing, and the whole reason he was asking if it would be a good match was cause a guy is selling one for $150 which is a good deal, but it's a d4, so 2ohm is the lowest he can wire and that amp is rated at 150w more @2ohms then the SA's are rated at.

You are giving bad advice...we don't know the op's experience. Of course he isn't going to actually see the "full rated watts" but if he doesn't have the tools to set the amp right, then your 400 watt "guess" of how much he will see is still enough to melt a coil. If your bad advice makes him blow his equipment then I'm sure you won't be the first to offer him the money to recone the sub. Even though it's only $40 for the recone, maybe he doesn't want to have to deal with it, maybe he doesn't want to spend $40 every time your bad advice blows his sub.

sorry you are incorrect here. its better to have more power available then less. Just because you can get 1000 rms @1ohm, it does not mean you have to have it at full tilt everytime. There is alot you need to read and learn before you can tell people that they are wrong. Generally when I am not familiar with a subject "I try" to refrain from telling people what to do.I'll have to disagree with you on this stealth...I don't think it's a good idea for someone who appears to be new to car audio to overpower a subwoofer. Yes the SA12 can handle 1000w and not be damaged, but if you don't know what you are doing, if your enclosure isn't designed properly, if he were to not want to void his warranty (I know he's looking at a used sub, this is more of a general statement) or doesn't have the proper tools to tune his system, then the advice you have him is pretty bad and can damage his equipment. If I were you OP, I'd buy the SA 12 and play with it and then read and learn more before you get into overpowering your subs. Edit- And that used d4 will wire down to 2ohms and match up pretty good with the 2ohm rating on your amp.

Can I get a price on 2 12's? Is there any difference in power handling? Thanks! -

He made a very good offer on my sub and drove 30 minutes to meet up with me. I've done buisness with him before, and will gladly do buisness with him again. Thanks Ken! -
No Distortion with Gain at full tilt...
sprkn_ranger replied to b0r's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
NO.. You need to have a CLEAN source,.... that starts at the HU.... your correct Ok I gotcha...yea I knew you are supposed to START with a clean source...I was just trying to help him make sense of why he couldn't find distortion on the DD-1 at such a low volume. Glad to see I'm not TOTALLY fucked up in the head lol -

Am I wrong with my theory Kyle? I'm not 100% sure of it, but it makes sense in my head lol -

sprkn_ranger replied to b0r's topic in SMD Distortion Detector (DD-1) Topics
If I'm thinking about it right, then the reason it doesn't clip at full gain is cause the head unit output voltage is so low at 25/50 volume that the gain on the amp can never get to the point of matching the headunit output voltage. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but that's what my thinking is.
