@John: wow man good job with Torre's. I def couldn't have done any better myself and the one tuned to 34.9hz looks like it would be the loudest. I was thinkin right around 36hz to be hell on the ears haha but it may not pick up the lows like the 32hz tune. -James

If someone could tell me how many cubes he may need to have for this sub I will probably mess around in Torres a little bit later today. More on the 4.5 cube side or one the big side near 6 cubes. @smz2: did the sub come with a spec sheet? Like displacment and all?

Whats going on man? Glad to hear you got that beast in finally. I will post a link to Torre's box calc below. That may help out with dimensions. I have seen some great boxes designed here on SMD and hopefully I can see this PSI slammin in a sick box here soon. Ray, Kranny, Ram_Designs, and Crandis16's info has helped me understand boxes quite a bit more and not to mention Torre's great invention. I have seen some of Dave the Box Guy's work on YouTube and he has some quality work for sure. http://www.mediafire...w40an4l5ygh56g8 -James **edit** Tuned in for the box

I also got to say that is impressive for 2 12's on 1600w. Also nice job on the wiring up front in the engine and the aero ports/box too. It loves the lows and never dropped below 12v on a Yaris which surprised me. First Yaris system I have seen honestly. Got any extra batts or is the electrical all stock? Anyway great job man -James

I got it set by ear for now. I have done that on every other amp I tuned and they were fine but there is a guy coming to the Wilson show on the 30th that has a DD-1 that I would love to use haha. Anyway the gains are near 1.8-1.9v out of 2v which is what the little knob on the amp looks like. Anyway thanks for the assistance man. -James

Welll the signals go to the amp just fine but when I disconnect them and try to check voltage on a Greenlee dmm I get nothing. Plays and sounds great but can't get a reading on the left or right channel. I wish I would have taken pics so I could put it in an upcoming build log but I forgot to take pics until the front end was back together. when I replace the head lights ill try grab a few pics of the new radiator. Can't tell much difference between the old hoses/lines and new hoses/lines. Only visible difference is the new radiator being new and still shiny instead of 14 years old and full of debris. Anyway any suggestions for the rca's? I will test them in the morning on a 50hz tone if I can figure out how to get a reading -James

Been replacing the radiator and all the coolant lines after work today but right as I finished up I took the dmm to the rcas and couldn't get a reading on AC volts. The outer sheild to the ground probe and the inner peg to the hot probe right? Haha I sound like a noob but maybe its just cause I was frustrated from all the lines on the cooling system. Glad I got the cooling system restored though. Should add a few years to the ole Vortec. Thanks, -James

Just curious but does your amp have an internal cooling fan? My soundstream rub2500.1d has an internal cooling fan and I can hear it if I get up close to the amp. Also can feel the vibrations from the fan very faintly in the heat sink. -James

Anyone got any thought on this? -James

Forgot to mention but the amp is running (2) 12" DVC 4ohm Q Power subs wired down to 1ohm. Well at the end of the speaker wire and on the terminals at the box its floating between 1-1.1ohm. Also temps here in Eastern NC have been pretty warm. Thanks, -James

Hey whats up everyone I was wondering if anyone in the community ran the Soundstream rub2500.1d? I have searched through google and searched through the community and search feature but couldn't find much for my amp. Anyway the reason I was asking is I would like to hear how other have their gains set on this particular amp. I have a JVC KD-A315 head unit and it has 5V preouts. I got the gain set on the .1-2V setting with the gain about 1/3 of the way up. Guessing around 1.6-1.7V. The amp also has 2-8V setting for the gains but when I switch it to the 2-8V setting I really dont get much bass at all with the gains at max or min. It runs a little warm but I think my electrical is part of the problem. At idle it will dip pretty bad. I will install a new radiator this weekend and once I get that done I am getting 20ft of 1/0 and running a 2nd battery up front. That should help the voltage a tad bit. Anyway I would really like to hear how some people have their gains set on this amp or if you have any suggestions I am all ears to anything you have to say. Amp: Bass Boost: OFF LPF: right around 60-70hz Subsonic: 25hz Gain: .1-2V (also has 2-8V setting) Gain knob on amp: about 1/3 the way up *also on an amp rack to get it off the floor/carpet and got spacers under the feet to lift it up off the amp rack a little bit to get air flow under neath* Head Unit: Bass: 0 Mid: +2 Treb: +3 Sub Woofer Level: 6/6 Thank you for any opinions or help, -James

Amps tuned by ear, dmm, or dd-1?

Pump that gatorade man and get some protein. Also sorry to hear about that situation there Orion. Best wishes go to the both of yall. -James

Sounds great man. Just got the 1st subscriber since I hope to see some future vids -James

Glad everything went good for you man. Hope the healing process goes well and get better soon -James

Sold locally for $120. Thanks for looking guys and can a mod please go ahead and lock this thread? -James

Good luck man. Best of wishes and hope everything comes out good

All ears for offers -James

If I can sell it by Wednesday 6/13/12 then I will take $90 + shipping. It will be from Rocky Mount, NC **27803** -James

I like it as it is something you don't always see. Good job on the install -James

Maxxsonics says 1200w RMS x 1chan @ 4ohms bridged. This is how I currently have it wired and it has never seen below 2ohms. I havent clamped the amp yet but sounds good on 2 12's. You can check out my Youtube channel to see how it pushes my 2 Q Powers which are rated 700rms each. **Edit** It will be shipped out the same day as payment is confirmed. Also will be packed in packing peanuts or bubble wrapped which ever you prefer via USPS. Also will have tracking number on the package -James

I am open to hear any offers -James

Wow they got a lot of glass work over there but it does look good. Love the Corvettes though -James

Glad you got her done man. Pics of the Big 3? -James
