Help me decide.. money IS an object so dont go too crazy.

We dont need anyone in SS 5+

I'm liking the idea of 8 x 10's
Would be great.... 8 x 10" atomics?? and the crown

Looks like SS5+ it is..

hmmm 8x10" sounds interesting

go the 8 x 10" for a nice SS5+ setup. from what iv seen theres not alot around. how would u wire 8 10" on the crown to give it a nice load?

JBL W10GTi.. DVC 6ohm Gives more wiring options when you use a lot of them (knew I'd find a use for 6ohm coils one day).

i just love the look of alot of subs pumping in unison

Your single amp is best suited to Street or Street Max. Stick with it.

With 8000Wrms you should be hitting high 150s. Guys in Europe are getting this from a single battery.

Besides, SS 5+ will be a scary place soon.

Phil

yeah steve i think you should stick with the smax

yep another vote for SM1-2, who else would there be for me to compete against if you dont keep at it.

Yeah I suppose.. I did find another bottle neck in the system to unplug

But 8x 10"s !

8 x 10's would be awesome if all set-up correctly.
I cant believe there is not more interest in SS5+ and higher scores as well. I would have through the top few scores in that class to be 155db+.

Mark Klatt has hit low-mid 50s in SS 5+ using just two D2s. He's faded off the scene recently, but tells me he'll be back.......

As soon as I finish our new X5 SQ demo car, we'll start work on our Vito. SS 5+ will go places then.

Phil

me

hahahaha, was wondering when you'd pop your head in.

/yawn

LOL

Yawn? You find a brand new X5 on 23x11 Breytons boring?



Phil

Actually I do find that boring, all it needs is some toffee nosed tart dropping her yuppy larva at a private school then going to have a latte with friends to be the perfect picture..


Back on topic.. Got some goodies coming, I've made up my mind on what to do.

What's wrong with yuppies?

Phil

Well what is it?

8 x JBL W10gti ??

No ... I find your brand boring. Well not so much the brand, but the bandwagon following it has. I personally think DD has had a negative effect on dB Drag Racing in general (well in Australia anyway).

No competitor thinks they can enter with their JL Audio's, Cadence, Hertz, Pioneers and so on subwoofers anymore. The perception is they need to have DD (with some exceptions to those who have remained loyal to their chosen brands).

Yes, I have used DD myself and I didn't think this back then.

I take my hat off to the success of Digital Designs products, there is no doubt they are good used in the right application. But I honestly believe there are other brands out there that are just as good, but for some reason DD has 'this' following?

I don't know. I'm tired of it personally and really want to see some other contenders sticking it to 'em. This SPL forum may as well now be called "DD SPL Discussion".

Not trying to get anyone offside here, and this is NOTHING personal towards you Phil. I'm just really over it. I am sure there are others out there that share this opinion (well I know there are), but I know that the DD supporters are going to jump down my throat for posting my outspoken opinion.

I share the opinion thats why Im bringing back the Venom

No in all seriousness though I tend to agree there seems to be a fear of DD every one is going DD and for good reason too. But there are good drivers by other manufacturers out there at similar prices that are doing just as well esp in eastern europe wher SFA people use DD drivers and they are hitting big numbers over there why cant we?

Wow, kick a guy in the guts why don't we.

You don't think the success of the brand has a lot to do with the way it's supported?

I've been in car audio since 1992, I'm an addict. I built my first Australian Record winning car in 1999 and have built many since.

I fly around the country helping our dealers and customers build their cars. I sit up late every night, talking to competitors all over the world.

I design several custom boxes everyday for people all over the country.

When a CAA member did the wrong thing by fellow CAA users, we stepped in and handed out $2000 worth of brand new amps.

Is it any wonder the brand has done so well? How is this such an evil thing?

Alpine gets recommended on here 10 times more than DD, yet does anyone even raise an eyebrow?

Phil

alpine is recommended quite alot on here but not from alpine themselves.
there are quite a few ppl on here from alpine and other companys who dont push there products onto members all day everyday.

big difference

Find a thread where I flat-out suggest someone buys DD. I don't think you'll find many.

We've been through this before. I answer questions and give info when it's raised or asked for.

Why can't I love our products, do you think have made them my life if I didn't beleive in them?

Phil

do you really want me to bring any up?

i could find heeps, even in the days you sold MTX!!

you can love your products all you want, what you do behind close doors is your own business

but there is a line. if you took the time to read the forum guidlines you will notice that commercial advertising is not alowed from non advertisers.

I dont seem to recall DD's being an option on my Poll list.. or BMW's.. or 20"s.. or anything else like that which seems to have taken over discussions. I just wanted some input from members as to what to do with the car.

As it stands I'm getting ANDRA & RTA approved restraints & seats fitted and doing a new wall.. a better wall that's stronger and larger than the current one with a twist. IE the cars going to still be Street legal & dB Drag legal, and daily driven.
I've worked out some wiring issues. Now the only difference between the car burping and the car driving is which headunit is switched on. No fuses to pull, no switches to flick, no wiring to change.

Sounds trick, good luck with it.

It will be interesting to see how much the nubers will grow with the install improvements..

I haven't been involved with MTX for about 5 years.

We are an advertiser, have been for years.

Phil

Look Phil, I respect you and your products, but please take this to PM's with Rob if you want to continue and take it out of my thread. MTX, BA, DD, whatever, none of this has anything to do with what I'm doing or what I'm asking people.

All I said was that SS 5+ will get scary after July 2006. You asked what class you should aim for.

I can't help it if the usual sledging started.

Phil

I use and have used DD products and I wouldnt have such a problem with it except for all the bs that goes on in here that really makes me ashamed to open my boot.

If a product's good it should speak for itself.

As far as i see in accounts your not an advertiser Phil??

Email sent.

Phil

i feel sorry for blackice.... this forum should be a place of learning and we should have respect for one another... it has now become a brothel.... with everyone f@#king each other... get over it and unless u r gonna help blackice, get off this thread... on a side note, i hope that u did get the jbl's mate, and hopefully ull do frickin well with em too... good luck mate
