  1. so you gonna let someone rough up your pops while you have a gun in your hand? Dude is taking a legger MINIMUM if im at the store. Maybe not shoot his head because i wouldn't want to clean up that mess. Steve, I was under the impression you were talking about the michael brown case. In that situation, he was not pummeling the old man, he basically shoved him out of the way. I'm not going to shoot someone for that. If someone actually got into a fight with my dad...i still don't think i'd pull the trigger with him being so close to my dad. I would definitely pick up the closest blunt object/bat and definitely go at him though. Strong Arm Robbery. It wan't a simple shove. And it was NOT "shoplifting" like some idiots claim. I really just want to know out of curiosity how normal people would act in the same situation. So many people have double standards. They see a simple push to an old man at the store but put your own frail old pop's in the store with you and a gun on your hip. Would you pull it out and not shoot? I might not want to shoot either, depends on my anger level. But i think it would at least come out. Strong arm robbery, remember that. Steve, what I was referencing is what I saw on video. You may have seen video that I have not seen. What I saw was the man getting shoved by Michael Brown. I stand by what I said though, a life is worth more than a few dollars. What I'm saying, is that sitting here in a calm, non-life threatening situation, I would that I would not shoot him. No one knows what would actually happen though. To me, it didn't appear to be a situation where a gun was needed. And again, if someone was in hand to hand combat with my father, I wouldn't want any guns pointed in that general direction.

  3. First scenario, definitely would not fire. second scenario, it would be kinda hard to know if he was going for my gun unless he managed to get his hand on it. If someone is going for my gun, I would definitely pull the trigger on them...but over a few dollars, no way. A life is worth way more than a few dollars.
  4. I've run 2x Mechman alts with great results. I've never ran anything else, but they don't make an alternator for my new car, so now I'm looking for someone who does.
  5. thanks man! The Honda got interrupted by the 72 Chevelle project. By the time i finished i lost my motivation again. Hard to stay motivated on a car you don't drive that just sits there. I'm sure ill either get back on it soon or rip it all out and sell the car. I have too many pink slips to deal with i am getting tired of having all these cars taking up space. I say you give me a price on it ( with everything in it ) and we'll come back down from maine and pick it up! A brother from maine! wow! Do you go to any of the comps?
  6. ...anddddddd my car is dead..

      Damn man that sux what happened?

      timing chain snapped and it is a zero tolerance engine.

  7. And it could be yours for the right price ;] All jokes aside, yes it is...and i'm very tempted to throw them in my enclosure and see how they score as compared to the X's. IMO I think they will do significantly worse on the meter than the X's. but there is only one way to find out... and @ alaska it is about 51 lbs according to my scale. The X was 43 lbs, which is significantly lighter than i thought.
  8. Shameless plug: That Sundown is for sale as well as 2x of the T2 12's are for sale. When I first got the t2's I was really surprised by how beefy they are. and didn't quite realize they outsized the X's until I had em side by side. The Z v.4 is gonna crush em all though..
  9. As some might recall, I did these before with the X verse the Z v.3. These aren't here to start any might debate, I just think they were cool pictures and thought others might appreciate them too. I am currently in the process of upgrading from X's to Z v.4's. Enjoy.
  10. This is what they say in the literature : "In Dynamic Power Mode the AD-1 uses industry standard bursted signals and captures the power generated by the amplifier during these quick bursts. The high speed microprocessor and patent pending clipping detection system working seamlessly together are able to read the clean "RMS" power output from the amplifier during these very short bursts. (20mS for the 1kHz test, and 100mS for the 40Hz test)" So the power is still relatively clean (un-clipped) but is only measured over a short time -- basically a "burp" power assuming no impedance rise from what you select on the machine. We included it since a ton of other tests already posted on YouTube have this information; and I know someone would ask if it was not included. It's a great test.. please include it in all of the tests!
  11. You would only know what you're seeing in your real world scenario which will not be the same for everyone. Well you would know if someone says XXXX amp can't do YYYY power, and I show the amp doing it in my car, that they were in fact wrong and that it can happen in a real world scenario.
  12. I wish people would do more AMM-1 testing. I have put out a lot of amps numbers using an AMM-1 so you know what you're actually seeing in a real world scenario.
  13. .5 resistive ... So like .175 nominal lol, impressive amps nonetheless the lower you wire, the less box rise you have. for example, at a certain frequency you might rise from 4 ohms to 6 ohms. if you now wire down to 1 ohm, you are not going to rise to 3 ohms. Wired at 1 ohm on my subs, i had MANY frequencies in the 1.3-1.5 ohm range I'm sure wiring to 0.35 could yield a 0.5 load after rise.
  14. that's just insane...I would love to get a sundown amp and test it with the AMM-1! Hopefully i run across one soon.
  15. I had like the SAME experience as OP. the subs were even for my friend, but i did end up getting them and the subs were quite nice.
  16. when will you reveal this something special? Some time after I reveal the 18" frame Something that goes with a frame that can handle over 4" coils...i'm a little scurred.
  17. We have a smaller coil for smaller motors. We could use the big coil for them but there is no need. I could also get an even bigger coil later if necessary hint hint, nudge nudge
  18. not sure if this will be any indication to you, but i had a z v.3 12" in a 3.5 cube box that did 142.4 at 2k watts, and 144.4 at 3.5k watts. good luck! right now i got 142.04 with 1.6k watts what was your tuning? because its damn funny! and btw, i only put them there for the vid tuned to 34 hz, peaked at 51.
