1) im never home during the days so i always have to drive to the depot to go get it i should be able to get it today. i will have pix when i get home.
2) I don't think that anyone has ordered the amp at all. I believe that all 5750's and 7250.1's are hand made from zenon.

i do know the price is pretty Hefty.

yea, the price is pretty hefty. i was thinking of maybe trying it out in the far future, but its tough being forced to pay msrp cause you cant find the amp used from anyone lol.

another quick question, since i dont know anything really about strapping amps. the 5750 is rated @ 5500w @ 1 ohm and then strapped its rated at 9000w @ 2 ohms. shouldnt it be pushing in excess of 11kw? also if you want me to leave this out of this thread, let me know and ill pm you. dont mean to thread jack here.

You dont have to pay MSRP //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Im not sure why it says that but i do know that my RD 3250.1's where pushing out more power unstrapped @1 ohm then strapped @ 2ohm..

hmm, maybe its just a picky amp. reason im looking into the RD for future use is because i would really really really love a single amp that can push about 6-6.5kw instead of buying 2 3000w amps. seems the market is limited for amps of this stature. the atomic 7000.1, and stetsom 7k are the only ones i know of that are affordable and supposedly the atomics are sketchy on real world wattage results.

You can buy the Kicker whorehorse

? was ur sub broke in yet?

some, but not totally no.

from what spl 140.2 says though, if you are gonna whomp on it the first day try to run it free air to loosen the suspension a smidge. i know he was throwing something like 6.5k a piece on his hdc 10's and he would snap the neck joints on brand new recones. he then started to break them in a bit and they quit breaking on him.

im not worried about mine, it'll be alright, but the brand new one you're getting i would play a little nice with until the suspension will give a little //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
