The Power
1 pair of Sundown Audio SAZ1500Ds

The Subs
DC Audio Level 4 subs with the level 5 dual 1ohm coil.

The Enclosures
Nothing too special, just a simple pair of ported boxes, reinforced inside with a few layers of fiberglass and resin..

currently, they are 4cu.ft tuned about 40Hz..

The scores so far..
150.1dB at the MK show in skinner park..
151.6dB (unofficial) at the Hillview College free IDBL testing..

My current goal is to make 152dBs.. ideally, i'd like to see a 153 though..

nice stuff man.........

3stagevtec · Postby **3stagevtec** » April 26th, 2009, 10:51 am

subs are 15"s, still not fully broken in yet..

currently my vehicle peaks at around 47 - 50Hz, and my boxes are tuned a little too low to match that.. hopefully i should be able to get a little more dB out of them..

Can anyone prescribe the best method of breaking-in your subs?

break in is mainly to loosen your sub's suspension.. playing low frequencies (between 20 - 30Hz) with your subs in free air is a good method.. while breaking in, keep the sub's excursion to about 1/2 - 3/4 of its max capability..

it usually takes a long while for them to break in, so an overnight play is recommended..

another easier method it to play them at moderate volume for the 1st week or 2 before you go all out on them..

this contraption sounded DEVIOUS!!!

I can't get over the Bass!

Smooth!
Loud!

I'll never forget the sound!

(I still say you could have unscrew yoru door speakers and stick dem on the hood for a lil galery)

I made 138.(7?) with the type-r but i sure i could clock at least 140.

noyztoyz · Postby **noyztoyz** » April 28th, 2009, 6:59 pm

3stage y u doh adjust yuh system a lil bit so yuh could do a lil gallery, or is it beacause those amps are runin half ohm?

a lil later on i will build up a gallery set to match them.. the funds a lil low right now..

the plan is to use a single pair of Faital Pro 12"s along with a pair (or 2) of compression drivers...

the amps work great at 1/2 ohm for both SPL comps and music! as long as my voltage doesn't drop too low (i.e below 12V) i shouldn't have any worries..
