Well got my ex back i finally got off my lazy ass and shipped it back last thursday. and it was waiting for me when i got home yesterday!!! i know devin had issues with elevations Customer service but i didnt have any! including shipping to and from i had the sub back in less than a week!!! now for the good part. well i spoke with joe was worried about its power handling and after speaking with him a bit he told me to give it my amps all! i was like wtf! are you serious? thats 4kw! now with impedece rise im sure it was more like 3300-3500 and i have the gains back down quite a bit and -2 for sub on my headunit. and ill provide proof if necessary.

well i put it in last night its in a 2.5cf slot ported box tuned to 32hz. wired it in parallel to a 2 ohm load and put it bridged on the autotek 4000!!! lol well i drove around for about an hour last night in the country and played tons and tons of high bass songs including some bass tones and bass tracks from the dbdrag competiton cd. get this IT TOOK IT ALL NIGHT LONG! and the best part it was loud as hell got incredibly low and sounded amazing doing it. although my mt's were louder (not by much and i havent put it on the tl yet) this sub sounds imensly better. i was worried about a hollow sound as the woofer cone is tiatanium and is fairly open however there was very little if any! im amazed and i cant wait for lunch break to go listen again!

That's awesome man, glad to hear you had a good experience with Elevation's customer service. That is super fast turnaround for a repair! So is that last year's execution or did you get a new one?

yea its the a recone it was from the one that had issues rubbing. damn ups. but it doesnt matter im so pleased with this woofer its insane. it is a perfect sql sub in my opinion. not a huge spl sub like the mt or dd9515's but still hell of a good sub.

That's cool I have a guy wanting to put four of them in a Ford Expidition for SPL competition, what's your opinion on how well he can do with these in the right box putting 1000 watts to each sub. His goal is 155 so I could really use your proffesional opinion because if he can do it around here then it could result in a lot of business for me.

hmm 155 with 4 fifteens is alot of cone but i dont think that is enough power. 155 db is loud and its gonna take a shit load of time and money to get that loud. box design is everything. you will probably go through 5+ boxes and tons of time. if he runs 4 15s and competes dbdrag meca or any other org hes gonna be in a pretty high class and get his ass handed 2 him everytime. hes better off taking one giving it alot of power and a proper box. make sure he knows if he does this he wont be able to street beat the system. x's arnt made to take huge amounts of power although mine is handling it suprisinly well i wont reccomend it. hes deffinatly gonna need to get a shit load of juice MIN 250+ amp alt and batteries but dont forget if he wants compete check the classes because they have battery restrictions. spl is a hard game and dont let anyone tell you diffrently it took me 2 years and a lot of money to break a 150. although i chose to do it with 1 15. 330-350-1135 call me after 4 if you have more questions.

Thanks Bill I will definately give you a call. He won't be competing in any sanctioned events just local stuff. I will talk to him about going with one but he is new to spl and thinks he needs more, He hit 149.9 last year with two Mojo's. I will give you more info when I get you on the phone as I do want him to be achieve his goal it's just hard to get him to make the right decisions... still kind of caught up on a lot of misconseptions.
