  1. I have a question: (This is from denim's big 3 guide in the tech/how to section) The Big 3 Are: 1. negative battery wire to ground - just replace the negative batt. terminal and wire and ground it to the factory location 2. engine block to ground - replace the ground wire from the engine block to the chasie with a bigger wire (maybe 4 guage) 3. alternator to batt - add a fused wire from the postive post on you alternator (the one comming from the battery) to the postive terminal on your battery. DO NOT exchange wires just add a extra one. make sure it fused the same size as your factory fuse. hope thats helps Note on #2- Some cars have a batt-engine block connection stead of chassis to engine block.. So wait a minute, I want to limit the power my alt can give my battery? What if I had an H/O alt? This wouldn't make sense IMO. I could see fusing to the wire's amp rating or something, but how is more amperage going to hurt the battery and/or car? Sorry if this post detracts from the OP's question, johnecon just said to post 'em up, so I did.

    Question for competitors

    I don't smoke, so I use my ashtray as an earplug holder. lol If you want to carry it over into your daily driving practices for the sake of your ears, keep a set of plugs around for when you want to show off for friends and whatnot.

    Subwoofer recommendations

    There is an Fi BL 10 in the classifieds section that could take that power.

    Road to 160db's!!!

    Well... I still need to do this at a show for it to count. Then I will add some more amps. Or.... maybe see if I can do a 160 with 2 1000d's. I haven't made any new goals yet. You'll see what the future holds in store then? Good luck at your next show!

    SMD Subs

    An epic waste of money putting that many mids in there. I guess when you have that kind of money you have two choices: flush it down the toilet or spend excessively.
  7. I wonder if the performance is as similar as the guts... Anyone know for sure?

    Term-lab Alternative

    Hope you post any results you get. I'm curious as well.

    external ports?

    I hear tell of extendable areo ports, but I have no idea how well they work. Check Parts-Express, unless someone on here can tell you more about them.

    And now, see the amazing Adrian D go for 160!!! now he turns on the car and opens a window! lol Oh no, then he'd hit 170. We don't want to kill anyone now.

    Group Buy Prices on Batteries here at SSA!!!!

    I need money for this bad.... Maybe the tooth fairy could hook me up, quick, someone sock me in the jaw! Who needs teeth when you have an enormous battery bank to take a bite out of voltage troubles?

    s/d1200 vs yellowtop d34

    Basically, they kick ass.

    Sundown SA-8 Pre-Sale

    Ordered mine earlier this week. Hope they get here safe and sound and here's to fixing your surround! Hey, I'm a poet and I didn't know it. Seriously though, I hope you get it fixed earlier than May. Bummer dude.
  16. Also, if your goal is loud, (and I'm sure you've heard this), ported is the way to go.
  17. Pick one of the two 12s setups. "There is no replacement for displacement."

    Check my calcs.

    Anyone? If my information is unclear, retarded, or you just have a question, let me know. I really want to do this box up right, so any and all input is appreciated.

    4 Fi Audio IB3 18's walled off 15Hz tune in a VAN BUILD LOG

    This build log has really got my attention, and I think you are doing a great job from what I can see, but the problem is I can't see much! It may be just me, but there are like three pages of "bandwith exceeded" photobucket warning things. Either way, good luck, and I hope I can at least see the finished pics....

  22. I'm about to grab up a normal ANL fuse holder from Knu when I notice they have this "high current" fuse holder that uses multiple mini ANL fuses instead of one big honker like the normal one, (not the mini). They say it will have "lower voltage drop across the fused surface area" as well as handling higher currents. Is there any validity to this statement? Has anyone had any experiece with one of these to know if it really has any great affect on voltage drop? I'm just curious...
  23. I'll save the 5 bucks for shipping.

    I vote icons!
  25. But are we looking at 14.5 volts instead of 14.4 or is it likely to see a large jump? That is the question... Whether it is nobler to face the slings and arrows of a single large fuse or to... oh never mind. lol
