I think Im going to settle on the mvh-2300nex, i dont do cds or dvds any more. And not having the mechanism will be 1 less thing to break.

Subs are D2 series parallel for 2ohm load at amp, my amp is not 1ohm stable. I set gains with my Fluke DMM at 30VAC with flat EQ, 0 bass boost and bas knob at 1/2 way. Subs are rated at 200wrms so Im not quite to 500wrms, but Im plenty more than 400wrms. Id say Im around 9/10 on the gain pot. I...

Coil damage is a possibility, but im guessing they are just not 100% aligned and thats why they were sold at the yard sale. When they are downfiring the tick is not there and since that video Ive given them more power. Ill try and do a follow up after I get the carpet on there.

Gains were set with bass boost at 0 and flat EQ, bass knob at 1/2 way. I know 500w isnt going to the subs at all times when the gain is set that way, but if you turn the gain all the way up there is a possibility of distortion, correct? I dont have an o-scope to test this, but Ill take it up all...

Just got the carpet in, should have it wrapped by this weekend. Ive also did some tuning on the sub adjusting gains, bass boost, EQ etc and its hitting much harder now. I have room to increase bass boost, eq, and bass knob once I feel like sub subs are broken in. Right now its right where I want...

Just checked prices for P99RS, lol.

I was looking at the NEX models compared to the 80PRS, and they seem like they are the closest. They dont have the 5V pre-outs, is that really so bad? I also noticed the 80PRS has some fancy name for their crossover network, I want to save David Brown, but thats probably not right. I would...

The apple car play is a major feature that Im after, but I really want the time alignment, crossovers, and 5v preouts. The only thing the carplay decks are really missing are the 5v preouts. I dont see myself getting a dsp anytime soon, but maybe that will change. I want a carplay deck so Im...

Its basshead by bassnectar. Downtown by macklemore actually hits harder on these, but basshead was consistant for a short video. I put washers on the bolts because the heads looked like they would squeeze through the holes. I guess I could cut the gasket around the washer so they dont look so...

FYI the phone mic is not picking up the bass notes, but the excursion is what you should pay attention to. Also the ticking is not clipping, but the likely reason these subs were in the yard sale to begin with. Im thinking its the voice coil ticking on something, but it only occurs at a volume...

There are some little hideaways in the rear where the factory subwoofer would be behind the interior beauty panel. Something could be tucked in there between the plastic beauty panel, hatch structure and outer quarter panel skin. Youd need better fiberglassing skills than I possess and would...

I carry too many things in the back and I dont want everyone to know I have a system. Ive done a lot of work to make sure my car looks factory. I tried using the factory box with a 6.75” kicker sub in it and it just wouldnt cut it. This box is pretty stealthy and once its carpeted will blend in...

Subs are installed and they bump, Im giving them about 450wrms@2ohms, but they could probably handle the whole 500wrms@2ohms. I didnt want to turn my gain all the way up even though its a 500w amp. Got the rearview mirror vibratin’, all I need now are some deep dish daytons. Ill try and get a...

I already have the Alpine PDX-V9, I want the Sundown SAE 1100.5 for the 4 channels of A/B and the extra 300wrms on the D class sub channel. It all has to fit under the passenger seat so its got to stay in 1 heatsink.

TBH I dont see myself using 1kw, I like the 5ch amps, and Im a die hard Sundown fan right now. The SAE 1100.5 is perfect for my long term goals 4x75w and a 1x800w. My components only take 75w each channel or under and where my subs are now would only fit an 8” or 10” tops, right at 750w for a...
