    DSS Tridents and Twisted Sounds S-10. Road to 166dBs

    Maxwell used to make the black caps in 2.5v. Most new ones are 2.7v.

    Started cutting and drilling all the small aluminum straps for the caps. The buss bars are done also. And a few mirrors, for effect.

    You obviously have put a lot of work in the electrical in this project..I hope you achieve your goals brother. Michael Thank you. It won't happen overnight, but it will be fun once its all together and playing again.

    Starting voltage will be around 14v. Hoping to not drop over 1 volt. I ordered another alternator today from Mike.

    Well the Ethos did well, so I have faith the tridents will too.The tantrics did very also. We will see what happens soon. My amps will be here in about 2 weeks (60k) worth.

    Spoke with Quentin today, and decided to switch over the the Tridents when they come in. Pretty excited to try them out.

    Cool no heavy batteries. Probable just for competition use mostly.They work just fine for music. Just takes a few more.

    Not a single battery in the truck. There will be one later to run the linear actuators and lightning. Nothing hooked to the truck though.

    Doing some test fitting here, then decided to sell all my caps. If you need some, let me know. I have a full new bank comingin a few days. Here is how it will look all finished. Going from 11000 farad to just under 20000 farads.

    I didn't say I was just adding power.It's a new set up. Not quite ready to share it yet though.

    I would have focused on the world record plaques if that was the case. Lol. Caps are spendy, but they work well in my application. I'm curious to see more testing on the lithium ion batteries. If they do as well as expected, I may swap out for a few of those. St that price point, I'll let someone else be the guinea pig.

    I've got 4 db to gain. That's rediculousness at this level. Plus still keeping in under the window line and within class rules.
