Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 2942 Registered: Mar-06 | I'm going to school in a few weeks and my dad refuses to have an extra car in the driveway so he'll prolly just sell mine and give me my mom's in two years, but that's aside from the point. Selling my 15" TC-3000, my Digital Designs M1, and my Audiocontrol EQS. Also have a Digital Designs C2, but I'll need some kind of amp to power my Diamond Hex's if we sell it. Any interest? Rough estimates TC ----- 300 plus shipping DD M1 ------250 plus shipping Audiocontrol EQS --- 175 plus shipping i can work on prices, im me caldapal08 or email at caldapal08@yahoo.com http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x228/caldapal08/P2270062.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x228/caldapal08/P2270061.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x228/caldapal08/P2270060.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x228/caldapal08/P2270059.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x228/caldapal08/P2210055.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x228/caldapal08/P2210054.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x228/caldapal08/P2210053.jpg the tc is a ridiculous sub. 10/10 cosmetically, 10/10 mechanically. it was my first single 15 setup ever. this sub killllllllllls and sounds incredible doing it. IMO sounds better and cleaner than my friends 13w7 the ddm1. 7/10 cosmetically, 10/10 mechanically. this sub is supposedly rated at 600 rms @1 ohm, but dd m1's (not to be confused with the m1a) have been benched at over 1800 rms. I called DD to get exact specs and the dd tech laughed when i asked what the real rating was. He claimed to me (idk if it is true or not) that they were banned in some competitions at one point due to severe underrating. I bought the C2 new and its a great amp. powers my hex's beautifully. the eqs is really great. i never had these specific amps hooked up without it, but the adjustability (spelling? word?) is great. also a line driver. in great condition. Also have a full kicker pkd1 kit (minus the remote wire) for sale. Copper is only getting more expensive. 100 plus shipping. Prices are negotiable The m1 is on the left, c2 on the right (on box in photos) i'm sure most on here will say i'm reliable. don't lowball me |

No wonder the DD tech laughed. |

If the box is well braced and well built there won't be enough vibration to hurt anything, and I'm sure Cal did a great job on that box. |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 2944 Registered: Mar-06 | dual 2 ohm vc's on the tc... sorry rob, you caught me, i admit it, i am not perfect, occasionally, i do make mistakes, thank you for pointing out the obvious.... the amps are mounted on a piece of 3/4 MDF which is mounted on two basically one inch by 10 inch strips mounted vertically which are mounted on the box, so theres basically 3/4 inch airspace in between the box and the piece of wood the amps are on as well as carpet. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 8127 Registered: Jul-06 | I am not the only one who says that. Although it is true. http://www.bcae1.com/amplfier.htm Amplifier mounting: DO NOT mount an amplifier on your subwoofer box. I know that there has been a great deal of discussion over mounting an amplifier to an enclosure and many people do it all of the time with no problems but those people probably build good enclosures from 3/4" (or thicker) MDF with extensive bracing. Most people (especially young impatient people) are too lazy to do that and build unbraced enclosures from 5/8 MDF. These enclosures will flex considerably more than a proper enclosure and will likely cause amplifier failure if the amp is mounted to the enclosure. REASON: When the woofer(s) moves in or out, the box flexes and therefore causes the sides of the box to vibrate. This vibration is transferred to the amplifier mounted to the box. All of the electrical components in the amplifier have mass. Inertia (an object in motion tends to stay in motion, an object at rest tends to stay at rest) tells them to stay at rest, the box vibration is trying to make them move. The energy from the box's vibration is transferred to the components through the electrical leads which are soldered into the circuit board. All of this will cause the components to break loose and therefore cause the amplifier to fail prematurely. Basically, the amplifier will commit suicide! :-) I'm not telling you this because someone told me it was bad. I've been repairing amplifiers since ~1985. Virtually every amplifier that's come into my shop with parts rattling around inside them have been mounted on the speaker box. It causes the legs of the semiconductors to break (which causes amplifier failure). It causes the capacitors to break off of the board (which can cause catastrophic amplifier failure). It causes solder joints to break on the semiconductors mounted to the heat sink. It causes transformer windings to grind into one another (which causes lots of smoke to pour out of your amplifier). People who repeatedly tell others to mount their amps on the speaker box because they've never had a problem remind me of people who drink and drive and say there's nothing wrong with it because they've never crashed their vehicle. Eventually, in both cases, problems will arise. |
