Having the part and wrap warm really helps. Set in the sun or in a warm room. Large pieces like that are easier with 2 people. One to hold and peel while the other smooths out. A plastic bondo spreader work great for laying down and pushing out any bobbles. .

Actually, the ID at the quick connect opening of the flow rite is .92. Thats not even the narrowest portion of that fitting. Inside of the flange, the fittings narrows down to .835". The 1" threaded fitting that the wake maker, ronix and straightline sacs use, has an ID of .965". Maybe this off season, i need to do some more pump testing. Put an amp clamp on the pump leads and measure current while filling into the bottom of a sac and see if it changes as the sac gets full. Also compare a short and long hose. I can also time the fill rate into the top of a sac, then time again into the bottom and see what kind of difference head makes in the real world.

While thats true, those are the nominal ODs of the fittings, not the true IDs. Back when I did my testing, the threaded sac size was the 3/4 thread opening by fly high. We did not yet have a 1" threaded opening we see on the strightline and WM sacs. The ID difference between the fly high 3/4 (.525 ID and 1" (.735 ID) was noticeable, but not huge. No real difference between 3/4 and 1" hose though. The difference came from the fitting upgrade, not the note. Yes, I made 3/4 hose fit over the 1-1/8 fitting for the test. I would presume that the 1" threaded fitting or the flow-rite thru-hull would show a little increase over the .735" ID fly high fitting, but not enough for me to cut a hole in the sac. Again this is all based on aerator pumps. Positive displacement impeller pumps dont really benefit from this. They are not effected by head pressure near to the degree as aerators. Once the flow hits the narrow sac fitting, the speed of the water increases and the GPH in to the sac stays about the same. I also like to use a PVC/Rubber cement when bonding in these added fittings. Use some on both the flange and the jam nut on the outside. I also like to use the straight thru-hull with a 90* quick-con on the hose. This allows the hose to move without pushing on the glued in fitting.

Its a little gain in flow rate between the 3/4 fitting an 1" in a standard 3/4 threaded fitting, but not huge. Maybe like 12 seconds difference on a 400 lbs sac. Just note, this is with an aerator pump. Impeller pump will not be any different. Smaller fitting just increases the velocity, but flow rate remains the same. I would not add a fitting just in an attempt to gain a little flow rate. Rather for the need for an additional fitting or one in a different spot.

The DX2.3 is not just a souped up DX2, but a completely different amp, Its the chassis of the DX6, so about a 1/3 larger and heavier then the DX2. The Syn-DX2.3HP deliver 600W rms x 2 @ 2 ohm. IMO, its a perfect amp for a bridged XXX12 woofer.
