I cant say yet. But debut is on the 27th, this coming Sunday! Ill post up givaway pics. youll definitely wanna see the pics!!! I decided to go with Tsunami. I ordered 550ft. Pardon my french, but that's a fuck load of wire You only need about 20ft from the main battery to the rear you know? jk jk

Is it personal? I may be a young gun in the car audio world and i obviously look up to him. He has turned into what started as a hobby into something much bigger. That is like a dream for most of us enthusiast isnt it? i mean why not make money off from something you absolutely love. Why do you care what I think? You are old enough to make your own opinions and don't like mine anyways. No daddy, I didn't mean it like that!

Don't bite the hand that feeds.

I just got one, have a ssa shortcut on the home screen, it's pretty cool. Just looking for a widget that shows latest topics from ssa on one of the screens, would be very cool.

Last box I had built I decided to have it built locally since shipping would rape me. Told the guy I wanted 45s in the corners, double baffle, dowel bracing, and binding posts not a plastic terminal cup. He said he had something better then those terminals and blah blah blah. I come back a few days later, no 45s in the corners, no dowel bracing, and a big fucking plastic terminal cup screwed in with silicone all over. You could tell he didn't even predrill for when he screwed the terminal in, wood was splitting. After a couple weeks of playing, rear panel on box started to flex inward and outward. Total shit. He was mecp certified. Oh and I gave him a demo the next day, he said "damn this has to be at least 150db." I was like nah more like low 140s. Went to a show a month later, did a 143 lol.

Ya you should be fine

Cause its cheaper I guess lol

Bl can take 2000watts. And yes op, you will need another battery.

Haha I just laugh, its all that's left to do.

Yeah I try to keep the build log late a couple days so you always have a stream of new stuff to post. (sometimes at least lol)

Kryptonwhite has some more WIN worthy content for you M5.

Or It'll fall apart like a graham cracker in milk

Absolute love for this thread, new awesome pics everyday,

The batts should help keep voltage up. They should have enough reserve depending on what amps your running.

I'll look through my tunes and try to find some more songs that are laid back and slow then get intense. Always good for demos, people aren't expecting it

Loud Mouths by Wise Blood. You can download the track for free Shizz, http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/Wise_Blood/track/Loud_Mouths Beginning of the song is ehh, and slow. Then it ramps up in terms of vocals (around 0:20), some mad bass to go along with the vocals would be killer!

Yes it's fine, especially if your willing to charge the batts regularly.

I'll have some bass in my car sometime next month, I'll wait, money is tight atm

Yeah, sounds good. I'll have to wait a bit before I can really test them out

You can install the amp, set the gain by ear, play some bassy music at full tilt with the car running and put a dmm (digital multimeter) on the starting battery to get a voltage read out, or you can install a stinger lcd voltmeter in your dash or next to your amp. If you decide to install a stinger voltmeter, remember you have to calibrate it. Calibration is easy, just need a dmm, and match voltages.

0/1 gauge. Welding wire would probably be cheapest, you can buy it from weldingwire.com (it's what I use and many others, all copper.)

I'd buy the biggest xs batt you can afford for the rear, set your gain on your aq1200, watch voltage at full tilt, if it's in the 12v-12.9v range with the car idling then I'd back the gain off until its in the 13v+ range.

I wouldn't worry about the extra battery straining the alt. Just give the battery a good charge before installing, and watch your voltage at full tilt (making sure it's not just sitting 12v draining the battery) Wiring the extra battery is easy, run a strand of wire from positive stud on front battery to positive stud on rear battery (fuse the wire in case of short circuit), and run a strand of wire from negative stud on rear battery to chassis (grounded like you would an amp)

Just because the AQ is RATED for a 200amp fuse doesn't mean it pulls 200amps with a clean signal. I'm done arguing with you. Let's get this back on topic for the OP plz Your absolutely right, that's why I also said if the amp was 100% efficient (which it is not. lulz) that it would pull around 150amps at full tilt (which isn't anywhere near 24/7 either) Point is, that amp would induce massive voltage drop on OP's stock electrical, and a big expensive battery would be needed to help alleviate the voltage drop.
