So, I was installing a new amp, messing with settings, running back and forth between the driver's seat and the trunk to listen. I was back at the trunk, and peek around the corner to see my 2 year old son, Alex. So I grabbed my video camera from inside, and took a video.

DISCLAIMER: I normally do not listen to this type of music. It's bass heavy, so I use it to set things properly. A lot of the videos where people are showing off their subs, they are playing this song.

I got a kick out of it, so figured I'd share :D

That's cool. What are you pushing that sub with?

Directed d2400. It's running at a 2 ohm load right now. New sub will be a DC level4 or level4 xl dual 2 ohm, obviously wired to 1 ohm.

Right now it's rated at 800 wrms. The 1 ohm load will up that to 1200 wrms.

Thanks man. I've played piano since I was 2, and have played guitar for about 12 years now. I've been teaching him both, as I have a piano in the living room. He's still a long ways away from learning guitar, but he has a lot of fun trying:

Definitely looking mesmerized when he makes his way to the sub!

Great pics Brother. When he gets over bring him over to the studio for a little father/son craziness!

lol. Guess "bass" can be taken a few different ways!

Speaking of, A few buddies an I were camping on a nice lake out in the middle of nowhere a couple weekends ago. One of the guys threw a cast out from knee deep water, and caught this smallmouth (sorry for pic whoring lol):

That video is great and so is the fishing pic. I do have to say, your boy is the biggest 2 yr old I have ever seen!

Well, he's almost 3. But he is big for his age. He was over 36" tall at 2.

Thanks for the compliment!

Are you partial to Directed? I'm running one 12 in Diamond D9 dual 2 ohm and it sounds great!

Not really. I bought the sub because it was on sale at the time (think I paid 127 for it). That was quite a while ago. The amp I got for a freaking steal (165 shipped). That amp retailed for over 700 new. So it was really just stuff that fell into my lap more than anything.

Currently in the market for a sub, as I'm selling the sub/box that's in my trunk right now. Can the D9 handle 1200 watts continuous?

Just checked out the specs. Not bad! Pretty close to the rated power of mine.

Have you checked out DC Audio? Seems to be some okay stuff. And reasonably priced (Their level 4 runs about 275 shipped, and can handle the 1200w easy).
