    Amp for ONE 12in alpine type R?

    You need to go back into WinISD again and re-run it. BTW... when I had to redo the 3" port on my 10" sub box... I opted to instead go for 4 x 1.5" inner diameter tubes instead because when I ran the numbers for using 4 tubes in WinISD the "vent mach" (air speed in the port tubes) dropped down...

    Battery: 2002 Ford Explorer SportTrac : Biggest Dimensions to fit under hood?

    Thank you for the pics. However... this does not help me with my original question of what is the biggest (i.e. most powerful) battery (AGM aftermarket) I can find that will fit in the STOCK battery tray of a 2002 Ford Explorer SportTrac. I have no desire to modify the stock battery tray as it...

    Battery: 2002 Ford Explorer SportTrac : Biggest Dimensions to fit under hood?

    Battery: 2002 Ford Explorer SportTrac : What are the biggest Dimensions to fit under hood? I'm looking to replace my Duralast Gold 850 under the hood with the biggest Kinetik (or possibly another brand) battery that will fit into the stock Battery location without me having to modify the...

    Bass track thread!

    Artist - Track Name ================ ================== = MotherTech - Erther = ================== It's this Australian DrumNBass/Techno dude MAN!! That track is one helluva test for your ENTIRE sound system. The subwoofer punishment begins at exactly 1:00 minute into the track. Get...

    loudest shallow mount?

    Before storming off to find a new shallow-mount... are you running the Pioneer in the recommended PORTED enclosure dimensions? I used to have a single 10" 2Ohm 300 W RMS model and it was just decent when in the first sealed enclosure I made for it. Always wanting more I rebuilt the box for...

    Soundstream STL1.1200D <- Any good? I need a small amp for 12" Type-R

    Well.... somebody from SonicElectronix just called me back because their inventory must have been off... the "1 left in stock" that I ordered did not actually exist. ...anyhoo... So we're gonna go with the Pioneer GM-D8500M instead. I'm not to keen on the connectors... but it'll match my 4ch...

    Soundstream STL1.1200D <- Any good? I need a small amp for 12" Type-R

    Fuggit... I just ordered the Eclipse XA1200. I got to thinking about it... and it's already crazy loud in the cabin of my Ford Explorer SportTrac with just that one Type-R. I'm just trying to get louder and cleaner sound out of this one sub. And from my experience with my EA4200 that's in my...

    Does the top-to-bottom ordering of this list reflect your preference among the brands listed within this list?

    Soundstream STL1.1200D <- Any good? I need a small amp for 12" Type-R

    Ok, Gotcha, ExNay on that one. Hrmm... dang it..... the form factor I'm looking for is limiting a lot of choices. I may just have to consider being Ok with buying a larger amp and just re-making my mounting board then and making it slightly wider then. Was kinda hoping to not have to since it...

    Soundstream STL1.1200D <- Any good? I need a small amp for 12" Type-R

    RE: classifieds... Meh... I have to put it on my CreditCard. Plus I'd kinda have no re-course if it went bad quickly or something. Don't laugh at me... but since I'm trying not to break the bank... What about the Power Acoustik BAMF 2000D? This should be a respectable upgrade to my current...

    Soundstream STL1.1200D <- Any good? I need a small amp for 12" Type-R

    I've NEVER seen one that actually modifies the amplifier gain. Having them adjust the boost is what I want. If you can post a link of some amp where the remote bass knob actually modifies the gain... I'd be shocked.

    Soundstream STL1.1200D <- Any good? I need a small amp for 12" Type-R

    Can anybody tell me if this brand and in particular these Stealth amps from them are reliable and any good? I'm currently using a HITRON HA-1000.1 to power my one 12" Type-R DVC4 wired 2 Ohm. My output is pretty insane, but I'm curious if with a better amp I'll be able to audibly notice an...

    4ch. Highs + Mids "Dimming" after 30-40 sec of high volume playback

    OK.. I may have just had higher expectation than what the 4ch is capable of. After dinner... I read the manual on the amp again and noted (again) the following excerpt.. " A cut in sound output may indicate improper setting of the gain control with the head unit as a hihg volume, set amplifier...
