decided to go ahead and put these amps in they sat on my kitchen table for about 4 weeks so I was like might as well see what they "Will" do & I must say they're gettin it in, they're pushing my zvxv2 15's much easier, the power's very clean and strong I can tell a difference, the gains are down near the 6volt input level at about 8 o'clock, I haven't did much tuning or testing yet, I just put em' in Saturday, I like how I've learned and have been getting progressively louder and all the haters haven't stopped me from running SKAR being happy and winning shows as well, motivated and goal oriented, many brands, one love, BASS LIFE
Well of course it wouldnt when you dont have to pay for the amps
your view point is interesting...because william spends more than some peoples yearly income on his car audio hobby.

Box area I'm working with is 39 wide x 26 deep x 17 tall rear x 15 tall front
Was wanting to put the port in the rear in the middle
ok. whats your question?

nice username there.

I fronted Will the amps for the swap, so he isn't out anything :-), nonetheless seemed strange to us as well, we should figure it out and get you new 3500's because in theory they should work where the 2500's are strapped. Not sure what is possibly going on with the 2 we sent, but I have no issue swapping them.
my personal theory on it, since i tend to be involved in the truck alot, is that maybe the 3500's want something a little different as far as impedance goes, that maybe the 2500's are just a little less sensitive to. i personally feel that the 3500's should be great amps in just about any install. of course, we also have to realize that the enclosure in the truck was never really intended for the level of equipment that is currently in it. the reactive load in this install is so stupid low, that i think its just right on the verge of what will work and what wont.

thanks. its truly my thoughts put into visual form.

Hey man let us know how things turn out at the comp.
just talked to will on the phone. lets just say i feel sorry for anyone at that show.
they are using a tiny ass laptop, screen smaller than my ipad, with an outdated termlab, and no external display. yes, you read that right, NO DISPLAY FOR THE COMPETITORS!!!!!!! they dont have bass boxing on their software, so they are having to do bass boxing with bass race software. and yes, this is a fucking triple point show.
this is the most half assed shit ive ever heard of, and amazingly its at a fucking 3x show.

looks good. any chance i could get those box specs/dimensions? i have a vvx8 laying around and never had any luck with the box i made for it.
preciate it 30" wide, 10" high & 9" deep at the bottom & 6" deep at the top 0.875 cubes tuned to 32Hz
well, your close anyways bro. i still have the drawing of the box.

Is the 1500d .5ohm stable? Given the big 3 upgrade, good wiring and no autistic stuff, could you pull it off?
this is all dependent on what your reactive load is.

I really cant wait to see what hes going to do with this, I mean this is Steve Meade were talking about here... he goes all out... this is gonna be big!
knowing my luck, i will end up starting my astro at the same time steve starts his.

Anyone know if the build for this is gonna be soon? Im really interested in seeing this build
its turning into one of those guns and roses chinese democracy type deals.........

What's wrong with torres?
torres itself, or the ill informed people who use and recommend it like its the second coming of the messiah?

i have an ivx-v2 10" in my single cab pickup on a busted hifonics 4 channel. still getting 137db on the dash on termlab at 36hz though. its a decent sub. best i figure its getting about 80 watts rms.
that being said, im thinking about jumping to a vvx 15, but only if i can get my hands on a v1.
--edited to fix spelling fails
I believe a guy on here named PurpleHaze is selling 4 of the vvx 15s. Could be sold but it cant hurt to take a look if you're interested
i dont want used subs.

i run 1 to a set of strapped amps (0.5 each) rising to 1.9
i cant decide... box rise FTW or box rise FTL......

Its not full retard. Plenty of people out there are running at .5 all day and running just fine. Lol. Some people even prefer .5. Just cause you dont like it doesnt mean ut shouldnt be done.
And for box specs, ive talked to a few skar reps when i was designing it and they say my box will be fine
those people running .5ohm probably have heaps of box rise working to their advantage as well, which is also another indicator of a bad box design. if the amps were meant to be run at .5 ohm, then they would be rated at .5ohm instead of 1 ohm. im just trying to keep you from costing yourself some money via being hardheaded. but you are going to do what your going to do anyways, so go ahead.
run your amp at .5ohm
give your subs 1,000+rms each
when your subs and your amp are dead i hope kevin has paid enough attention to know just how bad you are abusing all 3 pieces of equipment and that you are running this in a manner that voids all the warranties.

People run these amps at .5 all day. Buddy ran his at .5 for about 6 months never had a problem. Only ran min at .5 for about an hour. The. Rewired it to 2.
it is never acceptable to run your equipment beyond manufacturers specifications. masterwill's 4runner is all run within spec. the subs are running below their rated rms power, and the amp are wired strapped at 2ohms. you dont have to go full retard with your ohm loads to get loud, just build a better box.

6 cubes is what is reccomended. 3 cubes per 15. And yea i bever thought about it slowing down air, but since i dont plan on doing much spl i dont mind. And the amp is treating me great man!
well if its a common chamber enclosure, then no sir, 6 cubes is not what is recommended. a single 15 at 3ft^3, i can go with that. but in common chamber enclosures, a single 6ft^3 volume doesnt have the same response, per woofer, as 2 single 3ft^3 volumes. you lose alot of back pressure on the subs when you make that assumption. if your running very low power though, this can help out a little by making the enclosure more efficient.
this is where most people go wrong with common chamber enclosures. this is directly relative to your mechanical power handling.
Hugh G - Wondering how you calculate proper air space for a common chamber enclosure?
its just something you have to take on a case by case basis. more back pressure can help up to a certain point depending on power, but too much back pressure and you start busting cones / neck joints / slinky coils.

Whatre you going to be running the 15s at? I know they like lows and a 1500 at .5ohm will really pound.
I ran this sub at .5 for about an hour. amp got so hot i couldnt touch it for longer than 5 seconds. I dont have the electrical to run .5=[ but it got loud as hell!
you shouldnt run amp below their ratings. just because an engine will spin 9,000rpm, that doesnt make it a good idea.
