stock mazda 6 bose hu an speakers
shocker sig 12 in 3.3cf box tuned to 38hz with a RE12.1 amp at .7ohms before rise. very loud sub probally doing low 140s on music which is decent consdiering im using a loc so signal sucks to the amp. Sq is decent nothing even close to my old ascendant audio atlas but better than my friends cvxs imo. Need to get a rf 3sixty to boost the signal probally be louder an sound better than it is now.

lol ya i know bose sucks but for my car the faceplate alone is 180 bucks cuz the ac system is intergrated with the stereo plate. But the stock amp is rated at 200 watts so i figure around 20 watts each speaker an has a stock "subwoofer" in the rear deck with a 100watt amp built in lol which i ran the loc off of. Pretty decent id say mids keep up pretty ggood untill you crank it on bass heavey rap then they get drowned out.

07 avalanche LTZ
-Stock Nav. Unit
-JBL GTI 6.5" comps in front door
-PowerBass 400.4 bridged to the JBLs
-2 15" RE SE's in 8cubes@32Hz (Blowthru in the Ava, freakin sweet lookin..also takes up about 1/3 the bed)
-JL slash 1000/1 for subz
-AudioControl LC6 to integrate into the stock HU
-Around 25 sqft (total) of Fatmat sound deadening on front doors
-1/0 i got from ChadLee a few years ago that he gave away, someone got all butthurt cause i got it...cant remember who tho...?

sounds great and smooth. the JBLs have exceptional midbass in my doors. the sound deadening made all the difference. I couldnt be happier with the SE's. get low, loud, and still stay silky smooth for my Dave Matthews addiction (Carter Beauford is pure sex on the drums)

Also, the JL stays cool to the touch all day...play it at the beach for 2+hours and its barely warm, the PowerBass, on the other hand, tends to get a bit uhhh hottttt. thats the first thing i want to change.

hoping one day to add a 3rd SE, HO Alt, 2nd set of JBLs in the doors, and an amp that does 200x4@4ohms...maybe an older model xenon 200.4? but ehh its off iin the future for now.



p.s. Carter Beauford for Prez?

Most of my equipment is not installed.

Alpine 9886
alpine v12 mrv-f250 or rockford punch 250aII
cdt cl-51i's
15" atomic apx. soon to be a 12"
2 strapped rd 1750v2's.
220a alt, waiting on batteries since last got damaged

May even throw in a few RD sonances just for the hell of it. I only have 5 laying here
.

Love the head unit. has plenty of features and very easy to navigate. just wish it could run active.
Absolutely love the atomic apx. Very versitile. can play strong in really small boxes if needed. plays upper bass notes, get really low as well. can keep up on the double kick bass at high volumes too . Such a universal motor i may not get rid of it for a while, just keep reconing it as a change things up. The cdt components are good, haven't got a chance to really put them to the test tho.

i was originally looking at a 3sixty.2 since it carries some great features. upon further research nobody really had anything good to say about it. many issues with the unit..

i hadn't heard of the new 3sixty.3, but seems to carry a good amount more features. there were some other interesting things at CES this year as well, including a couple new DSP's.

Boston Acoustics S55 coaxials
Boston Acoustics G210-44, 0.75 cu. ft. sealed

Sean P thats all you need, well maybe some extra wire. last time i has a LOC i payed $40 for one from PAC (the people that make steering wheel adapters i think.) worked great, lasted a long time tell i gave it to my girl and she got T-boned and totaled her car. it was in the trunk and it exploded. poor little guy.

hmm well thats good, but its almost impossible to find new 04/05 models which i know sound great, if i ever do get some xxx's it would probably have to be newer models, because i would prefer to buy new. but it seems everyone says they dont sound good, but i can bet they have actually never heard them in person before

I'm in between systems, but I'll list what I'm pulling out and what I'm about to put in:

2 door kits of Second Skin
2 Gallons Second skin Spectrum
An AZZZ of expanding foam
4 230a alts
3 XS Power D3100s
1 XS Power S3400
200ft of 1/0 (8 runs of 1/0 from front to back -4 power/4 ground)
Pioneer 4200DVD
Realm Audio 6.5 Comps
Eclipse EA4000
American Bass 1000.1
2 Incriminator Audio Warden 21s

Going in sometime soon, hopefully within a few months so I can start competing:

6 250a alternators
8-10 XS Power D3100s
1-2 XS Power S3400s
300ft 1/0 (12 runs of 1/0- 6+/6-, also 8 runs from busbar to rear batts)
? Front stage
16kw + rms - soundigital amps. Either 1 or two 16ks, or 2 12ks, I haven't decided.
4 T3 TSNS 18s

I'm buying one TSNS and testing it on the AB 1000.1 to see how it holds up to 10,000 rms. If it does well I'll hold out for at least 2 12ks if not 2 16s. If it does well on 5kw I'll get 1 16k and try to hold 14v.

I have never used the sound digital amps myself but i remember seeing a right up about them vs a stetrom and cactus amp and the sound digital made more power on less power. I have also seem them used a couple times in comps with no complaints. I think this spring im gonna try the new crescendo amps.

Troy i would call t3 and give them a hard talking before you order i have heard they have been playing a lot of games lately. Also if i remember there is a new model of the tsns coming out if its not out yet.

frontstage: infinity 4x6 coaxials & some cdt tweeters

subs: 2 12" image dynamics IDMAX V.2

alternator: Motorcity reman 200amp alt (Im having some issues with it... might be a loose belt because my voltage will sit at like 14.4+ when cold, but once it warms up it drops to around 14-13.8v)any suggestions? I have a smaller than stock pully on it.

big 3 done with 0 gauge

kinetik 1800 in back

wire: knukonceptz standard 0 gauge wire for everything but the crunch amp which has some good flexible 8gauge(idk the brand off hand) also using the 8 gauge as speaker wire for my subs. regular speaker wire for everything else.

box: around 4cuft 37hz (filled with polyfill) I need to get around to building a new box. I was using this box for 2 type rs so its high for the idmaxs. Im planning on building my subs into my rear deck and could use some advice => https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/669159.html

Voltage dropping to 14-13.8 after warming up is normal.
Alts usually over-charge when cold, my old 185A on the Silverado would charge 15.2v when cold, 14.4-ish when hot.

It all has to so w/ the regulator, heat, and resistance.
If you want more manual control over charging voltage, look into a externally regulated alt.



Also, Troy...if you don't mind....hit me w/ a price for an setup to support 5kw rms in my 5.3L '04 Avalanche
Tax returns are coming up

Mo Ducka, 13.8 is normal. Death I'm in bunches in anticipation on my new build, but between getting hit hard with taxes, a kid in the hospital, needing a new washing machine, dropping a few grand in home renovations that could not wait any longer my build has been delayed

I really hate to sell my AB amp, but Soundigital makes the most power in the smallest case. The AB is rated at 14.4v, so by the same standard I could fit 40,000 SD watts where I could fit 10,000 AB. It's just a matter of space. I hear nothing but good things about the new SD gear, they've made improvements that seem to make them great daily and comp equipment. Joe, I saw that same write up- I think it was the SD 12k that was still making 10k rms @ 1.8 ohm wasn't it? The numbers were really impressive regardless.

T3 has also had sketchy reviews in the past, but their new subs have several improvements, and all the old TSNS subs still handled a crap ton of power. I know I would be happy with BTLs, but if I can gain a db and put a lot more power on the subs for daily use- I would rather have them. T3 seems to be making an effort to expand and improve, so if their product is as good as they claim and their c/s stays up I'll be running pretty much all T3 speakers/subs in the future. For the price they're running right now I can't pass one up.

Canaan, I sent an email a minute ago, I'm sorry if I didn't go into a ton of detail I'm just not used to being up this late lol. Feel free to email or call me any time.

Hey troy how much do the new tsn s cost in all sizes? And what about soundigital? I got a quote from a guy on a 5k but wondering if you could maybe get it cheaper? If you don't wanna post prices you could email me codywruck@live.com and I'll keep it a secret if you don't mind and have time. I have emailed them multiple times and have yet to get a response...

Both companies are having sales on the SMD forum right now- which is where I'm getting my pricing.
The SD 5k is like 890 shipped which it actually does 6,600 or so at 14v 1 ohm. One hell of a deal imo.

The TSNS is also on a "super sale" right now of $600 + shipping each, regardless of size, options, or dust cap color.
I don't get special pricing on anything, I've just been lurking on the forums waiting for sale prices

Both companies I recommend getting a phone number and calling directly. It took me a few tries to get the right people, but once I got the right numbers people picked up immediately and were very helpful.

Ok that sounds right to me I don't really want sd I can get more power for cheaper but of course the amp will be alot bigger but I do like the pricing on the tsn I want an 18 how much longer does the sale last?

Till tomorrow unfortunately, but they will probably have another in a few months.

I can't find power cheaper lol. The 16k is 20k @ 14.4v, which is where everyone else rates. 20kw for <$3000 when you talk to anyone is about as cheap as it gets. I see AQ3500s for $600, figure 6 amps to get the same power is 3600.
Also the 16k will still do 15k at 2 ohms 14v, while any other amp loses half it's output when you double the imp. Finally size does it for me, they're just so small!
