Glad to hear everything went well brother. Going under the knife sucks. Nothing is weirder than that feeling where you're awake and all of sudden you're NOT. On a side note, I know this guy that sells this stuff called Sunflash. A little kitty hair and some of that stuff, you'll hide that scar in no time

I saw the helmet on the guy, but I failed to see any kind of roll bar or cage which is required if he wants to actually race the truck(judging by the time and speed class he's running). A good official would have let him make his one fast pass and once realizing it wasnt up to safety spec, make him park it.

Fi SSDs sound like a good plan. That box won't take up too much space either.

He wants to keep it totally stock basically. The depth of the SA will never work in that stock location. The magnet is damn wide too. And no, the SA will not work in a free air environment, not well anyway.

It sounded healthy. If I was in the Vette, I would've been worried about sleeper status. 11s in the quarter are no joke. He was geared SUPER low With a wicked stall too. Trap speed was like 114? Edit- Mid 11s will walk most any vehicle on the road.

Sexy sub. Love the bumped back plate and sexy top plate. What is the function of the top plate being shaped like that? If you can't divulge, that's ok, I was just curious. Also, triple progressive spiders? The leads look like heavier gauge than I see some guys power their door speakers with

Its likely that the EBP isn't really great for that particular sub. The EBP refers to Efficiency Bandwidth Product and is calculated by Fs/Qes. If this number is 50 or less, sealed us the optimum environment for that sub. A range between 50-90 and the sub will work well sealed or ported. 90 and above you're looking at a ported enclosure as being most effective for that sub. Typically if a sub is good in a sealed box, it will also perform well in a well designed 4th order bandpass. And since you aren't running the same motor as the Level 5, you don't have the same T/S specs.

It appears the 5.25 and the 6.5" are a little different, thats the difference I see.

What's the argument exactly? Deep cycle vs. non deep cycle? Flooded vs. AGM?

Dude, they JUST came out. It's gonna take a little bit to start seeing them come around. These subs are built for brutal lows by the way, not the meter. Not to say they won't meter well, but they are not a tight gapped SPL type sub. These appear to be built for musical, low hitting preferences. They said an SPL version will be to follow in the upcoming months.

I downloaded this on my iPad a few days ago. There is a tone generator, wiring diagrams, enclosure volume and simple box building program. It does not allow for Round portas, however there is a section where you can calculate round port tuning and it will give you desired length. You have to know a little about enclosure design though in order to get it to work for you, you can NOT be a noob to enclosure design. All in all, it's a good app for the Apple market, one of the best I've seen so far. Well worth the $.99 in my opinion. Any questions about specifics of what the app includes,PM me or whatever and I'll let you know if it has what you're looking for

Id say .5-.75 cubic feet for ported per sub. Edit-Haha I spelled ported as petted, dumb Samsung

They gave you the grille brush too, that's freaking awesome. I love those guys.

Are the amps assembled in house or don't they come in that way? Would be really cool to see though

Not that I'm a hunter or anything, but you could do a Realtree dip correct? This is a similar method to how they dip compound bow limbs, right?

You'll be fine, it's still an AGM. Let err rip sir

Posting to see if there are any funny comments. 11.5 volts= awesome

Stop cluttering Stephen's thread here. You don't recommend to noobs to run below 1 ohm. I'm experienced and 1 ohm daily is perfectly fine for me. I'm glad you have exposures that are inefficient enough to get away with .5 ohm nominal loads. I wouldn't want to advise someone to run below 1 ohm when it is MUCH more unsafe and an unstable environment for equipment. So, I'm not sure why you're asking me in someone else's thread about why I don't like to run half ohm for daily. I have never personally fried one piece of my stuff from staying sage and running 1 ohm or above. If you want to put out X amount of power, buy an amp and FEED that amp the proper electrical to get x amount of power. Dont but a product and then run the absolute dog piss out of it and harm something in the process. I realize you haven't DIRECTLY informed the OP to run half ohm, but you're sure trying to play the devil's advocate about it being ok, which is just as bad. If you have a question specifically for me, or you disagree with me, PM me. I won't clutter this thread up any further.

Dude, seriously? We are talking about a 1200 Watt system. Buy the D4 subs and move on. Don't decide to run.5 ohms for a little over 1000W. And to SPLAddict, I'm glad you haven't had issues running .5 ohms,that's fantastic. I don't suggest half ohm for daily, and never will.

Ugh.... do you have strong enough electrical to back up .5 ohm? I never suggest for a guy to run .5 ohm for daily. Get the right amp and the right coil configuration to run the proper impedance

Well, why would get the D2s? Don't you want to run at 1 ohm to get the most out of the amp? If you're getting 2 D2 coiled subs, you'll have to wire at 2 ohms final load, or.5 ohm. Getting D4 coils would allow you to write at 1 ohm and get the most out if either of those amps. What made you think you needed D2s in the first place?

Good looking enclosure from what I can see on mobile. I'm down to see this build, looks good so far. Any pics of the enclosure being built?

I know we aren't into the middle of the month, but any updates on when/if we can look forward to an Android version

And OP, you know I like you dude, ^^^ That is not a dig at you

My opinion(not like it fuckin matters), the sub is rated at what it's rated at for a reason. We all know the coils, even though only 2.5", can take a ton of heat and abuse. Double the rated power for 5 months, I say you did a good job. Some may have lasted longer, some shorter. Heres the rub: You can't really shit talk the sub for busting tinsel leads when you ran double the RMS rated power at the sub. You can call Sundown and discuss your dissatisfaction, my bet is they'll say," Well, we rated the 2.5" coiled sub at 600W RMS, AND it will take that all day every day. You chose to run 1200+ Watts to each? You should have bought a Z series".
