???prop-stick thingy??? To each his own, the ride and system is NICE The thing that holds the hood open...I dunno what it's called. A lot of show cars, whether they have the hydraulics piston things or not, will open the hood like a foot and hold it open with something like an anodized aluminum rod...

I'm with jbondox. I haven't worked on high-end cars, though, but I do appreciate work. There's a lot of work there...but why the trashy calipers? Clean them up for a photoshoot, especially if you're going to be that close. I don't see much in the engine bay short of a strut bar; lower the hood with ...

Still no noise. Wtf? I didn't touch it since I re-soldered the board. After which I installed it and it still whined. Now nothing. I hate electronics.

Gonna upgrade my sub to a 9500 or Z95 motor and a dual 2ohm VC and get me an M3a. I may run this in my van powering another DD3515 for SQ.

It's been doing it for a while, not just the past few days. I've gotten quite a few good bites, lol. 250v household circuit enough? hahaha It was warmer today than yesterday. It's never shown a preference to air temperature, but it does usually ween off after the amp warms up. Still no noise at all ...

It's not all about SPL though is it. The Stroker Pros certainly aren't about SQ, that's for damn sure. -EDIT- A note that I thought was rather funny is that my DD 3515 is actually built more for SQ than SPL, yet look how it does on the mic compared to purpose-built SPL subs. I hardly believe they a...

I once ran against a guy in a similar car to mine. He had his 15" Stroker Pro and claimed 3000 watts (from what amp I don't know). He only managed high 140's. I was using my DD 3515 with 2 M1a's strapped pushing 2786wrms (clamped/metered) and got mid 150's. New Stroker Pro's are crap. I also be...

With cover off, power on and nothing else connected, YES the whine is present. I did try pushing on the coil with my fingers, but I was merely pushing on the wire, not the donut inside; it didn't change anything, there was still the whine. Tomorrow I will try what you've described. I didn't think ab...

Um, well, what's your box tuned to and what do you want it to be tuned to?

What is the volume of your enclosure? What are the length, width and depth of your existing port? What thickness material did you use?

I de-soldered and re-soldered every single point that I could find on all the boards. I used silver solder. The whine is still there, and it still sounds like it comes from the same area. It comes and goes, though, always has. Its noise hasn't changed a bit. The weird thump, like a tapping ground, i...

PG Xenon X600.1 -Noises-

I've had this amp for a few years now, it's served me very well and it's run everything I've thrown at it to insane numbers. My current setup is the X600.1 with the 528T mod pushing a DD3515 @ 2ohm. It's tipped the meter 151.9db on the TermLab in 3.5cf tuned at 63hz in a 2008 Suzuki Reno. Now the pr...
