    FI BTL specs clarification

    running that much power you are going to need some good OFC 1/0 wire that is rated for 350-375 amps @20ft, a high output alt rated for 220-300 amps preferably at hot temps not cold, depending on if your car has a full frame or if its a unbody design you may want to run a wire not your ground as well not just grounding it to the sheet medal, if its a big SUV you should have a nice steal frame that you can cut a hole in the floor and use the nice medal as a ground. you will need 2-3 after market batterys that includes your battery under the hood so if you did 2 thats one in the back and one under the hood. use proper fusing if you have a battery in the back fuse at the front battery and at the back battery on the positive run. you will need to do your BIG 3, if you don't know what that is theres a nice wright up on it somewhere around hear. you also need to set your amp with a DMM theres a wright up on that as well. avoid low voltage it will cause clipping and can cause damage to your rather pricey investment. also the btl N2's take 4.5-8.0cuft of air space a peace witch you need room for 9^3ft - 16^3ft depending on your needs and how much power you run. make sure you have room for a box that big, the btl's need a ported box they are not meant to be run sealed. i wish you all the best with your build, but please don't do a crappy job and then be mad when you don't get what you want out of it because you went cheep some where. the AQ3500.1 is a nice amp for what it is. it does rated power, it has a light that tells you when you are clipping your signal witch is great for some one who is just starting the hobby, it will help you keep your toys from dieing and let you keep your investment around for a long time. i also suggest you get a stinger volt meter for inside your cab so you can keep an eve on your voltage.

    simi on topic, what if you where to inter-duce a feed of rather cool air in the sub box, there by letting the air cooling work more effectively? say we cool the air in the box to ~33-35F. or a heat-sink inside the box that is cooled with LN2 or liquid He and let the air moving in the box pass over the heat-sink and have that cool the air. yes, no, maybe?

    i got it for 550 shipped and insured, and to have power if i needed it later on. its only @2 ohms right now and my voltage is ok for now, at night with lights on i haft to keep it down at 42 vs 45 during the day. electrical upgrades will come when they can. so unless you want to pay me for remote tech support, tuneup of your desktop or laptop, or need work in the area done it will haft to wait tell i can afford it.

    yes it can, it's a great SQ sub. want to try and make a trunk wall and give my sub some more room to play. they said they would haft to costume make me a an alt, car is to new and i would also haft to send them a OEM unit to get mounting info. my alt also has a new wire that the older alts do not have.

    as soon as i have ~$600 for an alt, new car = hell for getting a alt for the car. i was close to having the money then things happened, stupid traffic laws.

    Fi BTL 18" N2 Box

    so if it was you what would your amp of choice be and what would would be the smallest box you would put the N2 in for daily. also would FI ever make an amp? sorry to keep wasting your time just like your point of view on things.

    Fi BTL 18" N2 Box

    i don't go around running my Q on .5 because i can even if the saz-3000D said it could do half ohm i don't have the electrical to back it up and i like my amp and plain on keeping it around for quite a few years. so nick i know you have probably said this at one point or another but what do you think about how i have my rig set up. 15" Q on a saz-3000D @2 ohms in a 2.8^ft box tuned at 30hz or 32hz with aero. think its ok to leave it as is? also what do you think about a loaded N2 (D2) for daily in the same box for spl events or fun, last question what are your thoughts on the saz-3000d as an amp and how it preforms at 4ohm, 2ohm, and 1omh loads.

    i wanted to try it out and see if it was worth a dam, its ok. i really just used it to assist the spl tiles more then any thing else. that and get in tight spots that is a pita with normal dampener. also did every thing i could to get road noise out of the car just due to the fact that i could barely hear some one on the phone if they where on speaker phone and shoved in my ear if i was going ~75.

    hope i have some warranty left, they may need to replace my clutch or gear box. i am thinking of doping a FI BTL N2 in there for spl days, instead of my SQ daily build.
