joh17 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 I'll be stuck with whatever I choose for at least a year so I figured go a little bigger to be safe. Plus I figured it's better to run a big amp and push it less instead of a smaller amp and push it everyday. Plus if I go bigger next year I can stay with the same amps, so a LOT. Lol on that note just strap on another 3.5k and move up to ns's next year I think he mentioned that he wanted to run 2 SAZ3500D or 1 Cactus 12K amp.
TankChilton Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 What's db-r? I was looking on SSA since that was the only online dealer I could find with prices. God knows no one in jersey sells anything with sundown written on it.
joh17 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/ Thats the link I think Nexes is talking about. Correct me if im wrong. Hope it helps you.
doodcody Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 I think we all want to know what your friends will have to say when your build is done.. even though we already know haha good luck with build!
TankChilton Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 db-r sells refurbed amps. saz 3500 for 750. They're speakers are a bit more than SSA though. A forum member in classifieds said he would do two SAZ 4500's for 1800 shipped, maybe better. Cactus 12k is even cheaper in classifieds. That's where my conflict lies. As far as my friends go they think it's cool when they set off car alarms. I'm trying to set off building alarms!
joh17 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 IMO if you like the 12k Cactus then grab it. Seems like it should feed the sundown subs good enough. But then again it will all come down to your box design. That is mainly the key to setting off building alarms.
pa-pa-platypus Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 i really dont think youre ready to run that much power...you said you have one alt? how many batts? how many runs of 1/0? a 12k or 2 4500's or hell even 2 3500's is far from a noob setup.. dont get in over your head ull regret it later on This isn't teeball.

joh17 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 I think Tank is on the right track, but then again you did make a good point aqsub. . .well. . .Tank. . .you might have to spend a lot more than expected. . .
TankChilton Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 I have one mechman alt, two optima's up front and planning on two XS in the rear. I also have an alumapro 20 farad cap laying around. As far as the wiring, I plan on gutting the interior and running all the 0 gauge I need. I def. don't want to go over my head but I don't want to be bored in a month either. Prime example would be when I bought a zx-9R and traded it in on a zx-12 two months later. If you could point out what issues I need to consider by all means point them out. I joined SMD in November and Have been learning ever since. I take all the advice I get when making big money decisions. just don't want to get stuck with something mediocre in a month.
pa-pa-platypus Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 not to mention over triple the rms on those subs..those subs are tough but the slightest amount of clipping..... not knowing when to back off.. not being able to tell if the sub is reaching its thermal/mechanical limits... POOF This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP.
