DD Z Series Build Log

It's hard to say, the column style motor helps cool the coil a lot more than standard designs. I think if you set your gains where you wouldn't be clipping at all and were smart with the volume knob, you'd be fine. On music you'd probably be seeing half that power at most.
I was planning on an HD8k on both of mine and eventually moving up to an 8k per sub.

Alright, cool. Thanks for your help and suggestions!

It has the red pole piece. Pretty sure it has a 4" coil.Here are two FS threads where my sub was labeled as a a 9912z. The 99 means 4" coul and 95 means 3" for DD products, right?

Just a little side note on this..

1st gen were silver, 2nd gen came in 2 versions and you will know because 1st version of the 2nd gen had black poles and 2nd ver of 2nd gen had red poles.

Neither of the 2nd gen came with the 4" coil as it was mainly a proto for the 1st gen.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up

I think you've got it backwards there, the first gen were the black motors and the second (current) gen has the silver motor.

I was going to ask about the shorts, but realized it was probably just a pic posted and not him.

Wall the bish, be done.

Just walling the front off with some 9512's on my next build and making a solid wall behind the seats too

Damn. That limits power a lot. Would a Taramps 8000 HD be too much for daily power??

Implying that a 4" coil would take 8KW continuous power.

That box is a disaster. You'd be far better off working out of the corner if you don't plan to use the passenger seat anyway.

I know the amp won't put out 8kw of continuous power.

I know the box is a disaster, I had to throw it together quickly. I don't always do work like that.
