  1. Give me some measurements of that box with the 15's. How wide is your trunk opening? Trust me you have a lot more room in your trunk then I do and I have two 15's and two batteries and amp(s).
  2. Based on your drawing you have more then enough room for two 15's. How about a picture of the trunk opening? edit: also measure the opening.
  3. I would think if you have enough room for an 18, you should have enough room for two 15's. I would like to see a picture of your trunk.
  4. Wrong, it you series the coils then parallel them it's one ohm.
  5. If you wire them like the second picture, it would be 1 ohm.
  6. It will do very well either way. The Z's are 1000 watt rms subs. A Saz-2000 playing music is not an issue for the Z's.
  7. There is no need to worry about my ummm... wifes sunroof. 149.9 Bass Race here I come!!!! http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif
  8. I was going to recommend the Sundown Z15 but you asked for 12's. I don't know when the Sundown Z12's will be available.
  9. Talk about getting every last watt out of that 1500!!!! "Some what" close to what a Saz-2000 will do on 14.x volts.
  10. Not at all. This amp would be fine with some self-control. Look at it this way, it would be better to have more then you need then not enough.

  12. What exactly is your issue? Stalling, etc.... Edit: A properly working electric choke work awesome along with an electric fan. A manual choke works fine too. What kind of intake do you have single or dual plane? Do you have a carb spacer?
  13. Yeah, flux core sucks.... but if its all you got, run with it.
  14. It is best that no matter what size mig welder you get, you should pop for one that work with gas(co^2).
  15. Amp gain is directly proportional to radio preout voltage. The higher the preout voltage the lower the amp gain setting.
  16. How to strap your Sundown amps. For Saz-1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 3500 and up. Again only Saz amps. Starting with the RCA's. This is the master amp. Hook the input RCA's as normal and hook the strapping RCA to the BR OUT. Then hook the other end of the strapping RCA into the slave amp where it says BR IN. This is the end result. Now for speaker wires. Hook BOTH sets of negatives together. Keep your wires as short as possible and use good quality wire. You spend a lot for these amps, the least you can do is use some good 8 gauge wire. Next thing is to hook up the positive speaker wires on the master amp (the one with the BR OUT). Like so... The last part is hooking up the negative speaker wires on the slave amp. Please note that when strapping amps the slave amps positive speaker wires are going to be used as negative speaker wires. The amp gain, bass boost, etc. is controlled by the master amp so there is no need to gain match or anything like that. It's as simple as that. DISCLAIMER: I USED A SAZ-1500 AND SAZ-2000 AS AN EXAMPLE ONLY. DO NOT TRY TO STRAP AMPS TOGETHER THAT ARE NOT THE SAME POWER. IF YOU DO A BLACK HOLE WITH OPEN UP AND SWALLOW ALL OF YOUR DB'S. Edit: Recap: The master amp(BR OUT) is used for the positve speaker wires. The slave amp's (BR IN) positive speaker wires are used as the negative speaker wire. Hook both negative speaker wire to the other amp's negative speaker wires. Sidenote: When you strap amps, you cut the ohm load in half. A 2 ohm load would equal 1 ohm on each amp.
  17. This is for the Saz-1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 3500 and up as well as the Sae-1200. Lets start out by saying that these amps are mono block amps. This means they are internally bridged (paralleled). First lets take a look at the sub. Unless you trim the wire down two 8 gauge are not going to fit in one terminal (if you want to parallel the coils at the sub). So, what I do is parallel the coils at the box. This is a picture of the speaker wires inside the box. This is what it looks like on the outside. Since the coils are paralleled on the inside of the box with the bolts, all you have to do is send two positives and two negatives to the amp. You can even put a set of bolts per voice coil if you wanted too. If you need to series your subs you can do it like this, then send only one set of speaker wires to the amp. Now for the connections at the amp. Using all the amp connections here. This could be for multiple subs with the connections being made somewhere else or this is for using one sub with one coil going to one side and the other coil going to the other side. Now these pictures are used for a single connection to the amp. You can use either side. This is if you want some space between the positive and negative wires. Hope this helps some people.
  18. True, only one Group 31 is needed. I was picking on Lex by saying I have two in my trunk.
