I've actually done that. Yes it worked fine when the smoke cleared.

No biggie...It is my OPINION that I feel it is safer to use 1.5 volt than 9v. It is a FACT that 1.5v can be used to check polarity.

I'm not going to disagree, I was just trying to make a point that 1.5 is probably safer. The other guy was trying to take credit because he knew that a AA would not work when in fact it works fine. .56 watts (1.5v) is plenty enough to make a speaker jump for polarity checks. That was the point...

Sure you have....You also said 4 posts earlier that you knew 1.5V wouldnt work...I am actually looking for a new set of subs, let me know who these professional sub builders are so I know which ones to avoid. Bill Nye 101

AA battery works fine. I just did this test 6 days ago. And yes although it is a little awkward, it is still safer than putting 9v into your new speakers. 1.5 volts makes a speaker jump pretty good already.

So is AVI all that? 500 bucks for an 8" speaker? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the reply but I had already received an email yesterday quoting the sl-200 at $299.99. Regardless, even at $299, this woofer is...

Ya, I'm crushed about the SS too. It's a custom box (QLogic) to fit a Dakota under the rear fold down seats and only gives me 5" depth, the SS is 5.65"! There's a big ID sale on at CarDomain right now too, unfortunately the 8" is not available. Thanks for the feedback guys.

O.K. Take AVI off the list, they just emailed me back. SL-200 =$299 + shipping

Actually use a AA, 9v may be too much. If you reverse the polarity using a battery, be careful, the wires get **** hot.

I am in the stages of finishing off my system and need a single 8" sub for my application. I am currently running a JBL 755.6 6 channel amp and will be bridging channels 5 and 6 to the sub for 300 watts RMS 4 ohm. Do to the mounting depth of my box I am somewhat limited to the sub that is...

Need help on an amp which I will be ordering tonite. Basically my setup consists of Polk DB6750 in the front, Polk DB 675 in the rear, and a single Elemental Designs 9Kv.2 sub in my Dakota Club Cab. I had originally decided on the JBL 6 channel...

Thx for the replies. Other than that, the setup looks ok? PowerNaudio, the DB6750's are rated at 92 dB. FR is 35-22,000 HZ. There's actually not much to listen to around here, but I had a chance to hear the Infinty Reference 6010's which sounded pretty good off a HU although a little bright, so...

Getting ready to start ordering pieces for my 2002 Dakota and sort of put a plan together but would like some feedback. All will be running off last years Alpine HU which I have already. I chose the JBL GTO 6 channel amp to run all 4 speakers and sub. This way I can put the sub under driver...
