Has anyone heard of DHD AMPS. I had one of there subs and it was good..beside the loud popping noise when turned off. Anyhow I'm getting a solo baric l7 and I was wondering if I could get another DHD Amp to push it???

it happens when one component in the system turns off before or after another component. how much power do you want, and how much do you want to spend?

for some reason I dont see a reason to pay the money for an L7, spend less on the L5 and more on a better amp.-Dean'I did nothing... I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be!?'

yea I thought about getting an l5...I'm not for sure yet...but what I'm looking for is something that will be able to push the sub close or at RMS!!! 650 or 750! So would be looking for a 800 to 850 watt amp. I'm looking to spend no more than 350 on the amp!!!DO WHAT YOU DO!!!

I plan to make an overal great souding system. I wanted it to be able to hit hard but yet good! THe sub was going to be molded into the side the trunk and the amp molded into the center space above the spare tire. So tell me this would a RF hx2 power..the one that has a rms of 1000 be better than the solo?DO WHAT YOU DO!!!

why not mold the sub into one side of the trunk, and the amp on the other? then you'll still have easy access to your spare, and keep all that trunk space
the power HX2 will only get a little louder than a K-series from elemental designs. but for the price of the HX2, depending on where you get it, you could get an A-series, an adire audio brahma, a resonant engineering XXX, an orion H2, etc. any of those subs would work very well off this amp.Comment

but you seem pretty dead set on a 12, so i'd go with an HC12 from resonant engineering. www.respl.com they are $259 directly through them. i'd run the HC in 1 cu ft air space for a sealed application.Comment

Ok you were saying something about the HC12. From what I know about speakers it looks pretty sweet..but what amp would I run on that?? Since you like to go with these brands that I've never heard before!!! oh yea..when putting the speaker in a box...does it matter if the speaker is facing inward toward the box (magnet outside box) or if it is facing outward (magnet in box)????Originally posted by blue LEDzLast edited by RacerX; 02-01-2004, 03:01 PM.DO WHAT YOU DO!!!

as for mounting the subs, standard or inverted does not really have an effect on the sound. the only thing you have to take into account is the displacement of the sub. i'm guessing that the HC12 takes up .1 cu ft of volume. so for standard mounting you would need 1.1 cu ft of air space. if you invert it you will only need about .9 cu ft. when you invert it you also have to switch the positive and negative speaker wires, OR if the amp has phase shift on it you can flip that switch. if you don't do one of those, the sub will be out of phase with the other speakers when inverted, and the blending point where the regular speaker and subs meet will sound like ass
