  1. damn, that thing is going to need a shit load of work lol.
  2. That's a brewmaster mix. Tasty treats. Never tried it, till tonight. Wish me luck.
  3. Not gonna lie, that's pretty awesome.
  4. Since you're limited on space, you can always get 8-10" sono tubes and make them oval.. You need way more port though.
  5. Clamp them bishes. I dunno if people will let them slide though.
  6. That is about what I would expect. Also, from personal experience running a 14v setup(16.8 charge) I would not recommend running a higher voltage just to get more power. If you want more power, buy the bigger amp, it will save you money in the long run. The reason that I say this is that the d1400 and d1600 batteries have about half of the reserve capacity of the same size 12v battery(d3400). If I had it to do over again, I would just get the D3100s and call it a day. Unless you are planning on just burping and only need that 3 second burst, I would go for the D3100s for any daily application. They have a much higher reserve capacity and you can beat on them much longer before needing to recharge. Also the D1600s will require a much larger battery bank. Taking alternator charging capabilities out of the equation, here are my recommendations for battery power. 5k vs 7.5k 5k on 16v, I would run 6-7 d1600s- $269.99 shipped each ($1889.93) 7.5k on 12v, I would run 4 D3100s- $369.99 shipped each($1479.96) The thing is 4ohm rating so the 7.5k is out of the question. The plan is running two eventually. The 7.5k would put me in the higher class where two 5ks won't. In super stock and mod you can run up to 18v so that's why I'm considering it. When running the lanes I'd have to dial the alt back pretty far to run a 16v setup. Will 5ks operate in the 19.x volt range? http://www.soundoff.org/rules.htm So I have to stay under 1800 @4ohms which is based on 14.4v published ratings. Granted I'd be limited to 6 batts for burps. I'm tossing around ideas of a super cap setup too.
  7. I'm guessing he's the owner? I'm sure he'll have insite but not all of it. Performance varies user to user and I'm looking for other people's experience. Rusty's input would be great though.
  8. That's a shit load of power. either way I'm going to run it. I just want to make sure the benefit of running 16v will pay out with these amps. If not, I'll stick 12v until the time comes. I might go to D5's down the road. But those are hard too get a hold of lol. nothing against DC but no one makes an amp like that
  9. Since this is the most DC forum out there, I'm starting here. I'm trading my PB 4k's for a DC5k(I'll be taking a hit on power I know) but I plan getting a second later on. So I'm looking for people who are running these on 16-18v setups and clamped them. Or just their experience. How low you could go and how it was setup. I know some amps will run lower ohm loads with higher voltage. I'm considering going to a 16v setup(18v running) I'll be running either usaci super stock or mod class. So any input would be great. If none is provided I'll just try things the hard way lol.
  10. birddog and woodchuck, fuck you guys lol
  11. get more batteries. You're box will also depict how the will take the power. I strapped two atomic AT3000.1's on a pair of D4 SA12s. They probably saw an honest 3k each before one of my amps died. I could run songs full tilt for about a minute before they needed a break. On a single 3k, it took 3-4 songs none stop to get even a little smell if that. Just send them clean power.
  12. You could honestly get away with 3 cubes, that motor has a lot of force. TC sounds subs have always been small boxed monsters. Even without an LMS coil, the sub should perform quite well, if it's build properly. I'd personally run 3.5cubes tuned to 32 with 60^2 of port.
  13. finally a real scope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some drivers need break in time, period. Ranges from tweeters to subs. It varies driver to driver. My D6 12s, break in really didn't change, SA12s, they got slightly louder, UFO BTL's, got slightly lower. The custom DD subs I'm using got louder and louder.
