Hell with everything set properly you should be able to get the full output of that amp to those subs no problem. A common misconseption with setting gains is that it directly controls how many watts are coming out of the amp, this is not true. Setting gain is matching the amps input RCA voltage to the head units output RCA voltage, at least thats how it's been explained to me. Setting the gain too high will induce clipping, which means the signal (think of it as a sound wave) has flat spots at the top and bottom of the wave, which will then transfer through the amp and into the sub. Keep in mind that there is a lot more to it and frankly i'm no expert, there are people on here that are a lot more knowledgable and can give you a much better explaination.
Clean in and clean out is what you want... Setting the gains properly, provided you also know when the headunit clips should give you full CLEAN power out of an amp.

Ok, so this is what I came up with... I took the standard port picture I had and starting plugging numbers in using the xplicitaudio app... Over all size 18w x 12h x 14d with a 1 x 10.5 inch port that is 22 inches long... .79cu @ 38hz My big question is should this design work ok?

Looking for a standard ported box design for a DC Audio m3 8... Will be just a single sub on a Taramps 800hd Thanks in advance...

He has 4ohm as well... might need to e-mail him as just looks like the button is missing...
-
I think he has a coupon so might even be cheaper... http://www.droppinhzcaraudio.com/dc-audio-m2-level-3-15/

oh i know how it is... My old M2 XL's i was able to invert the gasket and was able to fit in the groove of the baffle... But the M3 baskets are a cunt hair bigger and would not fit with the gasket flipped, so they went in normal... and have fun playing with 80 pound monsters, I know my 57 pounders were a pain...
-
When you flip the ring is hard to set right due to the lip... That is the issue...
-
Cone side...
-
Are they going to be recessed in the baffle? or sitting on top? My XL's are recessed so I left the gasket normal, and there is a lip that you have to deal with...

And I love my M3/M4 XL 15's....

Ahhh, well I am down in Guantanamo Bay on the Navy base... And we don't have stores/stuff like that...

I need some Sunflash... but shipping here is umm.... yea...
If you can find a local composites supplier they might be able to help you find UV activated resin, though it can get pricey.
I'll take it as you didn't read my location...

Are these back in stock? just wondering cause the site says something about 'pre-sale' and has not been changed BUT on the other hand it also shows 'in stock'
-
Steve, Not sure if you seen this or not... Thanks...
-
Are they really in stock as the site says they are?

Was just thinking it might have been a mix up with people/names and we all have a bad day from time to time...
if by "other" Steve Meade you mean Steve Mead in Texas... he is one of the most helpful and friendly people I have met in the car audio scene to date, known him for about 4 years now.Maybe it was the 'other' Steve Meade? Just a thought... Or maybe he said something to you in the videos and then spoke to the 'other' and was told to FO?

being billed full boat up front is the incentive to return on time and in good condition and for CJ good insurance that he doesn't lose money.
I explained this in my reply earlier that no one is going to rent having to put up more than the rental fee. If I have the money to buy one than why would I not just buy it for $150, than sell it for the going rate of $100-125 and I don't have to worry about how long I have it for? or I can buy a used one for $100-125 use it than sell it for about what I paid for it. the point of renting is to not pay full price just imagine if Redbox charged you $15 to rent a DVD than gave you back the difference of rental fee and payment when you returned the DVD. seriously I hope it works out for you but being someone that has walked this path, i'm just saying.
Comparing this to Redbox is not valid... The DVD you get from Redbox cost them less that 25 cents to make. So if you don't return the DVD they are out for the most part nothing, but the Movie theater charges them a licencing fee for every copy they have. With that being said, you rent the DVD for a buck and don't return it they will charge your card for said licencing fee... Where the DD1, CC1, AMM-1 etc cost $100's of bucks EACH
The rule of thought is that everyone wants to use one but not to own... I have a DD1 and a CC1, just installed an amp the other day took about 15mins total to set gains and crossover point of the amp... So for 15mins of use that is about $300 in equipment that will not be used again unless I change something in my truck... I would rather be able to spend 20 to 30 bucks to set levels and the remaining 270-280 for other stuff the truck could use...
At the same time Cody has to be able to 'protect' his investment and charge full price until he gets the unit back into his hands cause if he didn't then someone could 'own' a DD1, CC1, AMM-1 etc for the simple cost of the rental... If it wasn't for my current location I would rent a AMM-1 to find out how my system is playing... So I think this idea has value to it, and worst case if it flops then he could still sell the 'rented' units as used and recoup most if not all of the investment...
