  14. Testing a Sundown Z15 and Fi BTL

    This wasn't meant for people to get all upset over. I just wanted to see what the Z would do in this set up. An it did better then I expected esp. compared to a BTL. Was the BTL under powered, yes by 500 watts... big deal. Was the Z over power... not really concidering the way Jacob rates his product.

    As I said when I get my hands on a 2000 we will try it again. An if you people like we could match the BTL to a more comparable sub like the NS.

    I built a box for a friend and had a chance to do a direct sub swap powered by a Saz-1500 (for wL<3bass).

    Test results went like this...

    Test results: Sealed on dash.

    Started with 40Hz since the peak freq was not known.

    41Hz

    42Hz skipped very bad

    Tried 39Hz just for the fun of it.

    So after a while of testing we retested the peak freq and could only do a 142.5.

    We then switched out the BTL to a Sundown Z15 Dual 2 ohm. Tried 41Hz first and hit a 142.6. I have no doubt that if the Sundown Z was tested first it would have hit a better number then the BTL.

    As soon as I get a Saz-2000 I'll see about trying it again.

  20. small enclosures

    If it's too small of an enclosure, the backpressure of the air behind the woofer could cause mechanical damage.

    Not sure about this^^^ might be right?

    Box rise is a factor, and also the smaller the enclosure the higher the frequency of the tune. In order to get a lower frequency, mass needs to be added to the cone of the woofer.

    This is correct^^^.

  23. What is the best way to build credit?

    Thats how I started. Got a Sears card which was only good at Sears at the time. Bought tools and paid the card off. Ended up getting another credit card and would do the same. My credit really took off when I bought my first truck with a co-signer of course. Now the last time I check I have a 770 beacon score.

    Biggest thing is to pay your bills on time.
