My kid is a bass fan already.

pektel · 08-05-2010, 11:50 AM

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

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:

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

pektel · 08-05-2010, 01:12 PM

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.

Chingas · 08-05-2010, 01:22 PM

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!

JaKaacH · 08-05-2010, 01:52 PM

I was going to recommend RattleTraps and spinner baits...

pektel · 08-05-2010, 02:22 PM

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!

pektel · 08-05-2010, 03:11 PM

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

Thanks for the compliment!

bigswol2 · 08-05-2010, 03:20 PM

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

pektel · 08-05-2010, 03:24 PM

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?

JDTexan · 08-05-2010, 05:26 PM

I was really hoping this thread was about catching large mouths but that is a great video!

longknocker · 08-05-2010, 05:44 PM

Awesome Video, Peter!

bigswol2 · 08-05-2010, 07:39 PM

1200 all day in a sealed enclosure. I'm running a memphis 1000 on mine vented.

pektel · 08-06-2010, 07:32 AM

IBQTEE1 · 08-06-2010, 08:57 AM
