Yeah, I know. It's been awhile since I've been here. I do lurk every once in a while, though.
Anyways, I have upgraded my sub stage! I went from a 10" Boston G5 and a Crunch P1500.1 to a 10" Eclipse Ti and a JBL GTO14001.
The Crunch put out max power at 1ohm, so it did just fine on the D4 Boston (rated for 450w). Once I got the Ti, I knew the "425w" the Crunch claimed at 2ohms would just not cut it, so I started looking around.
By this time I had built a new box for the Ti -2.6cubes at 27.9Hz with 36 square inches of port area. I had the Crunch powering it and I planned on waiting for the right deal on a more powerful amp.
A couple days after installing the Ti and being disappointed because I just knew I wouldn't find a quality amp for cheap, my buddy tells me about a GTO14001 on eBay for $200. I jumped on it and am glad I did. It does max power at 2ohms -perfect!
After receiving the JBL, and having to solder female RCA jacks to the board because the original ones were ripped off :(, I got it installed.
I was immediately happy with the output, but while adjusting the gain I quickly realized the amp has no SSF. Minutes later I got some Harrison Labs 20Hz high-pass FMods ordered.
As soon as they come in, the gain will be going up!
Pics:
Yes, that is black duct tape. It looks pretty good in person actually.
This is my first time mounting an amp any way other than flat LoL
Thanks again, Haemphyst!
