At least there is some good info coming from this thread

i like to try to learn as much as possible. when someone like db-r is willing to share wisdom, listen!

What's funny is I really am not all that "smart". LOL. Anyone could do what I do, well, as long as your IQ was high enough to get started you could do it. I completely **** at math. But geometry I got an A... LOL... That and the military would not leave me alone after I took that test in High School, whatever it's called. Seems I scored in top 5% in the US on some part of it and they would not stop coming to my house to see if I would join up. I was too busy drinking beer and partying in those days... wish I had gone in now...

dB-r ive been in the Marine Corps for 7 years now, its not too bad. I just dislike my independent duty here in MS. The Military fleet depending on service and location can **** or be great, its just a matter of making the best of where you are and what you got.

The test you speak of is the ASVAB test and i administer the test here to snot nosed brats all across MS "wonderful" high schools.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Funny thing is if a kid scores a passing score for any branch of service the recruiters are all over that kid as far as trying to recruit him/her. But nowdays schools have the test administered under circumstances that we cannot release results to the recruiters until the end of the year, or months after the asvab has been completed. So that way the kids dont get harassed about their score, and it kinda keeps the recruiters at bay.

The Army National guard and Army are the worse recruiters here in MS as far as trying to hustle kids.

Anyway, just curious how many amps of your own have you opened up and modified them to do a little more power and competed with?

Im sorry to say but if i knew this shit fluently i would have some suped up amps

Really? Since the CS 12kW and the SS 15kW have the same initial board maybe this pic can clear up any confusion? Or is it perhaps the boards are sent to Korea from China and then the amps are built?

 

[dave_damage 10+ year member]

Nextem is the build house for the 15k. The cactus amp is not the same as the 15k. It is made in the same build house as the 15k but is not the same. It is the same amp as what was going to be called the Soundstream 12k but was scraped. That amp was rebadged as a PPI 10k and is offered to Team SS members and is sent out to people who have warrenty left on the Soundstream XXX 10k The board that was going to be the SS12k is used by at least 3 companys at this time Audison and Cactus are 2 I dont recall the other. The Audison amp is not out yet. As for the parts #'s. I am Waiting on the scimatics

So the SS is made in China and the CS is made in Korea but they are made in the same buildhouse? I'm confused.

Don't be a dick. I wasn't hating. Sundowns everwhere. Its like wal-mart, they're a dime a dozen. And I've got the team pricing info and its still high. I could get a 5k at 12v amp for maybe 100 bucks more than the "competitor" pricing.

Only thing I'm pointing out is how many people run them. There's now I think 3 out of the 5 heavy hitters down here that all have Sundown. There's nothing around here and I don't compete. I've never been on a meter with the 40.1s. Last setup was with weak amps and I blew them.
I don't like to compete anyways. Burping is no fun for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

then why do you get competitor pricing and worry about getting competitor pricing?

 

[basebalz13 10+ year member]

Numbers aint shit to me Matt. Unless its at or below 30hz. I play music and that's it. Besides there's not enough shit that goes on around here to build a burp box.

what music do you listen to thats under 30hz?

 

[TnT_Sounds 10+ year member]

what music do you listen to thats under 30hz?

C&S music

then why do you get competitor pricing and worry about getting competitor pricing?

I always get competitor pricing

 

[dave_damage 10+ year member]

So the SS is made in China and the CS is made in Korea but they are made in the same buildhouse? I'm confused.

I dont know why it says made in Korea on the box. It came from the same place as the soundstream

 

[dB-r 10+ year member]

The board might be made in China. The assembly (board stuffing) might be being done in Korea for whatever reasons. It's a china amp. a big one. Only China stuff I thought was built well was the Maxxsonics amps like the Brutus Series which say Made in China on the box, but the inside and board all looks Korean to me, and the parts are Korean. Well actually, there are some Fairchild parts in some of them.

That is a lot of info you posted... You might want to scale that back a bit before some companies lawyers come talk to you.... I know about this....

 

[dB-r 10+ year member]

C&S music

Chopped and Screwed. 20hz notes all day long.

 

[lowriderram_95 10+ year member]

[dB-r 10+ year member]

. As for the parts #'s. I am Waiting on the scimatics

LOL, nope no spelling there. It's schematics. Curious of the part numbers. Hope they are not Chinese brand mosfets... Confusing, and cheap.
