I had planned on ordering a D2 but the idiocy of their "rep" on here gives me second thoughts. I'll send a note to Nick at SI to find out if this guy's really a rep and mention to him that it's certainly affecting my opinion of how the company is letting itself be represented.

Go to the jl audio web site and download the manual for the JL audio 500/1. I had a similar problem with barely any power seeming to come from the amp. Follow the guideline for setting gain, I made the mistake of thnking in DC. Output (and gain) is measured in AC. Also, as instruction book...

I've got the CDT 1220 wired at 2 ohms, powered by a JL audio 500/1 along with cdt euro braxials in the front panels (jl aud 450/4). Custom box is 1.1 cu. ft. gross. I play mostly rock and blues. I like my sub but am not "in love with it" and am thinking about replacing it with a 12"SI Magnum...

I just did this install with a jl aud 500/1 and 450/4 and walmart dual 4 gauge kit. The splitter connects the 4 gauge to two 8 gauges when you finish the powerline run from the battery to the amps. So my power run of actual 8 gauge is only about 8 " to the 500/1 and 2 feet to the 450/4. I also...

Helotaxi, Thanks for the reply. I've followed your comments in the past and respect your judgement. As I mentioned, the Brahma was shipped by mistake. So I haven't paid for it nor been charged yet. Coming straight from manufacter by way of accoustic visions. So if I don't want it I can just...

Currently running cdt braxial 6.5's in front and smaller cdt's in rear for fill with a cdt HD 1220 sub. Car is a corvette convertible with sub box of approximately 1.2 cf gross. Fronts run off a jl audio 450/4 and sub is off a jl audio 500/1. My only real interest is sound quality. I don't...

Weird. Hard to tell what you've already checked but... 1. are you sure the gain is turned up?? Double check. 2. Are you getting a voltage output reading at your amp outputs?

Don't have any experience with the Diamond's so can't comment. However, I love my CDT 6.5 Braxial unit's with additional Ti tweeters at the front windshield for front staging. Running 150 watts each to fronts. Cdt crossover's have specific wiring connections for both the tweeters on the...

I get a very faint, very high pitched electronic noise when the radio is on and the engine turned off. Faint enough that I can't hear it if the engine is turned on. New installation-all aftermarket stuff. JL audio, cdt's, 4awg wire, same ground for all items, rca and cable wires run...

I've got 6" eurosport braxials for my front door speakers. They had a great sale from the CDT website and www. thezeb.com for $499 for the pair. I didn't have the opportunity to hear the HD's. I can tell you that the euros sound beautiful. I'm running 150 watts into each and you can hear each...

Want to protect stereo more than car theft. Looking for recommendations on units that 1. will page me 2. movement detection inside car. It's real easy to cut a roof or just hop in if the tops down. What I'm looking for a almost like a proximity alarm for the inside of the car. Appreciate...

Ok thanks. I was looking for the cleanest, stealthiest approach since I have a convertible. Turns out I had lots of space between the inside of the door panel and the electric window. So I velcroed the crossover inside the door panel and ran a single wire from the rear to the cross-x and three...

Using CDT speakers, jl audio amp. My front speaker set up includes main and tweet connections plus additional high range imaging tweets in dash. So, three separate outputs from crossover(no problem-crossover is set up for this). MY question: Does it make any difference if I 1. run one long...
