It would be kinda neat to put on one of those little generators that touches the tire to trickle charge it a bit when the battery gets low.

Just picked up some B stock. Fast shipping. Looks great! Can't wait to get it installed.

I just went to mechman.com and when I click on shop it brings up a suspended page. Just a FYI

That is one of my favorite amps. I have abused it many times over the years. When I first got my Diamond Audio D3's, I ran them all on it @ 1ohm. It held up, definately ran a little warm, but it's only rated for 4ohm mono.

Just bought some cable from him. Shipped out fast and packed very well. Awesome guy.

Thanks again. I'm sure it will make things a little easier.

I'll take it =] PM me your paypal info

I'm not sure how well that would work since you are separating the output from the Subwoofer and the port. I would think a 4th order bandpass would work better for that. But I'm not positive, so maybe someone else will chime in.

Purchased a US Amps XT4000DE v2 from him last friday. He had it shipped and to me within a few days. Packaged well. Amp works great. Good guy to deal with.

Bought an EA 300 amp alternator. He shipped right away. Packaged Very well. Alternator works great. Awesome guy to deal with.

Yeah, I've had a few amps with the phase marked in and out. In was 0, Out was 180.

Yeah I told him 4th order bandpass and he said that's 2 different things! Lol I would avoid taking advice from him then =]

My first amp was a Rockford Fosgate 50m, nice little "cheater" amp. I had it on 2 Punch 12's in a Mazda B2200. Actually pretty loud system. Box was just made to fit behind the seats, and I put ports in with no idea of how to tune. Box was prolly tuned to 2KHz lol

I bet that is it, I had the same thing happen with my Pioneer Avic D3. --David I n some headunits there is a micro fuse between the main ground and the rca ground, you might have blown it, happened to me on my Pioneer HU. the fix is this: http://audioforum.termpro.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=002066;p=0 give it a try my friend, it might solve your problem. always disconnect RCA's befor you disconnect amp/HU grounds!! good luck, David

I just made a box for my 96 Suburban last weekend. I used 4 15" Diamond Audio D3's. I ended up at 48" wide, 24" tall, 30" deep. The port is 12"x12"x9.75" I have the subs firing up, and the port firing back. The box is tuned @ 34Hz with a f3 of 31.67. There is about 6" from the port opening to the tailgate. I had to have the subs in a V pattern to fit. With sub/port/bracing displacement I was at 15.59 cu ft, so 3.8975 per sub. I had to remove the spare tire to make it fit, since the spare is mounted at an angle. I still need to upgrade to a bigger alternator, and get a bigger amp. But I have a Rockford Fosgate 800a2 running mono @ 1ohm(I know, it will smoke soon but then my wife will have to let me get a new amp). It is pretty loud, my rear doors flex out about 1/2" - 3/4" =]

Can't wait. The subs will be here tommorow. I was doing some measuring tonight and it looks like I have enough space to still keep the third row and fit it behind. I plan on firing the subs up and the port towards the rear, but how much space should I make sure to have from the port opening and the tailgate of the truck? --David

Thanks for the responses. I'll probably go for 4 cubic ft tuned to 34hz. They should be here in 2 days or so. I'm hoping they work out decently, at $109 each it seemed like a great deal. Now to start looking for a new amp to power them =] --David

Hello everyone! First time post, been lurking for awhile. Anyways, I just picked up a 1996 Suburban. I put some old Rockford Fosgate RFR-1412's I had sitting around in there with a Rockford Fosgate power 800a2. It just seemed that 2 12's wasn't quite enough. So my wife said I could spend $400 on some budget subs. Well after looking around I found a guy on ebay selling refurbed Diamond Audio D3 15's for $109 each, but to my surprise he had mispriced another of his auctions for new ones at the same price. So for around $400 I got 4 brand new ones. I have never used Diamond Audio before, but from looking around people seemed to like them. I want to make a ported box, and from looking at their site they suggest 4.5 cubic feet per sub, tuned to 34Hz. I have a ton of space in the suburban, so I didn't know if it would be better to go a little bigger than that. Having no experience with these subs, I have just been modeling different boxes in BassBox 6. I was hoping someone on here has had a little bit of experience with these subs and could point me in the right direction. Thanks, David
