still can't post pics yet, i'm gonna wait til tuesday\wednesday when UPS finds my other battery. But in the meantime- later on today(sunday), i should be done with everything "bass-wise". I gotta start replacing my factory speakers next.

he confirmed this a while back on my car that this will never happen to me, it better not!

yep, my AQs come with one so i ordered a PAC to control my Sundown 100.4 as well, just in case. Scosche makes one too but the better reviews all go to PAC Audio.

talkin to the source it better than talkin to a group of customers who form a decision based on assumptions. While there are companies that are active on forums, some aren't so the phone is still necessary.

ok, so everything i ordered came into today... kinda. I am missing 1 of my 3 batteries. The ups driver said that his info shows that i am suppose to have 3 packages but only 2 were on the truck... He finds that odd so he gave me the number to call so they could trace it down to see if they could find it... I called, lady said all the trucks are back and she was gonna see if it was put on the wrong truck and call me back... Well, she never called me back and UPS isn't shipping on Monday either.... so, thanks to whoever messed up. Luckily, that particular battery won't hold me up from installin everything else... Some other things have arose in the install that are going to need to be reinstalled another way which pushes me back farther so when it's not raining, i'm gonna be busy busy busy,

I am impatiently waiting for UPS right now... The order for my batts that are being drop shipped from Powermaster is currently in an unknown status right now. They emailed Powermaster requesting information as to why or when i should expect my order since they are in TN and i'm in KY, should only take a day. I've driven to their city before, only takes 2.5hrs to get there. I've been waitin 3 days so far. If UPS does not deliver the batts today then there will be a delay obviously. Crossing my fingers.

I wouldn't have said that, he ain't playin, lol

i do have about 40sqft left BUT wait until i get the whole car done before i just get rid of it. I might need to use some more after i get the setup in there.

no, i still own 2 Audiobahn Eternal 10s ironically from about 3 yrs ago. I sent each sub 334w of actual metered power, non-clipped and after 47 seconds, one of the subs started to heat up very quickly and now one of the 2 subs sounds loose when it moves a lot. Conclusion- on music, they were fine but on bass tracks, they fail horribly. Their power rating of 900wrms is the MAXIMUM recommended amp rated power suggested. So i would suggest not using anything more than an 1800w amp. These subs are pretty efficient because it literally takes hardly any power to get them loud, that's good for those low on cash, they just can't take power well.

haha, yea i better, because in my install, i have no diodes to blow, just pure fireworks.

i'll be contactin u soon, trust me, hehe. My buddy helped me lift the box in the car today so we can test mount the amps on the box and make measurements to see what fits and what doesn't, test fit batteries if they were here, deciding how to secure the batteries and how to secure the box itself. We will have to custom make brackets to hold the batts and box in place and i just found another way to possibly mount the amps but can't confirm it until the batts come in... it looks bad ass, we loved the look, can't wait to permanently get it in there..(Thank You AutoCAD). The box is completely put together right now! Tomorrow, i gotta drag it back out and flip it upside down so i can finish sealing the top with Liquid Nails and Silicone II. After that, then i got to finish laying the rest of the L brackets in place and sealing them inside the box too. After that's done, then i got to determine if the box is going to require All-Thread or not. I won't know til all L brackets are in place. After that...., hehe it's a matter of UPS giving me everything tomorrow and me starting to make the baffles for my 6.5s. So, i'm not too far away. There's going to be a LOT of wiring involved but luckily most of the hard part(running under the carpet) is done. There is still some under the carpet work but luckily the car is still halfway gutted.

sounds like u need a motivator. Get ahold of 418fis and tell him to stay on your ass so u can get it done. That's basically what i tell my friends around here. One of em actually listens and does exactly that... that's why i might be done with everything in as little as just a few days from now.... but that's if my batts come in tomorrow too. They are being "drop shipped" straight from Powermaster... but that was as of 5-19-08, it's been 3 days and i'm only 1 state up from them, lol.

i thought of contactin u today but didnt because i only needed help for like 10 minutes and didnt want u drivin all the way here and back with gas bein as much as a cell phone bill is, hehe. I just needed some measurements. When i get all my stuff in, in about 2 days after that is when it's goin down!

2 AQ1200ds strapped = 2,940w @2ohm = $500 i'm gonna list some other amps, i might know nothing about them so u can research them yourself- AudioPipe AP30001D Crossfire VR2000D JBL BPX2200.1

hmm, maybe too low of voltage? That's the only 2 things i can think of. Oh well, i need some help lifting this box so if u wanna haul ur ass over here, hehe, and give me a hand, lol. I gotta pretty much just sit here until i can find someone to help me. I am not suppose to be lifting heavy items since i have a hernia. I've dragged this thing out and it is ridiculous. No way i can drag it out AND bend over to put it in and out of the car just for a couple measurements.

hmm.. what can i say? Doesn't sound normal does it, hehe. Maybe he had it wired under 2 ohm strapped. These amps from what i hear are NOT lenient on disobeying the recommended ohm loads. I will have mine wired @1.4ohms strapped so there is no worry for me to drop below 2 ohms after rise. I thought today was suppose to be the big day to get the majority of all my stuff in... apparently i am wrong. So far, i have gotten 3 packages in from UPS for just installation accessories, i'm still waitin on a LOT MORE.

got some pics of the inside of the box before i start doing severe bracing and then putting the top on.

thats different. I would never get a 1,2,5,10 farad cap, those are just wastes of money. IF you have the alt power to run the car and the entire stereo system, then a large capacitor, like one Kinetik sells will deliver more power to your amps. Voltage regulator isn't fast enough to react to quick bass hits but a cap can but should only be used if your alt is strong enough to support the entire system already.

well, it does have a lot of humor in it so that's a plus. At the beginning, there were a couple of camera tricks that were done i assume to prevent him from "working" to hard... or so i thought. When it happened so early in the movie i thought that was how the rest of the movie was gonna be but it wasn't. There was one other unrealistic scene later on after that but besides that, it started gettin REAL good afterwards. Movie is 2hrs long and well planned for that time allotted as well. Not dragged out with pointless boring scenes at all and displayed enough information to understand what was going on with the characters, enough what people would need to know. The ending was unexpected for an Indiana Jones movie but quickly followed with an Indiana Jones finish and some more humor. There is talks of another one in the future. Surprisingly enough, there is a lot of action that is still involved with this one. Mostly solo action though. You may be used to him having someone with him that helps out a lot. While there is someone always with him, he is the one that is doin all the work. That may have been a slight error in the fun factor of the movie by giving him too much main character scene time but nothing to argue about when it comes to the movie as a whole. I'd watch it again for sure.

ur lights will dim pretty nice. You will need to take it for 8 about 8 min spurts of very low listening on the stock alt to keep the front battery charged. Of course, anything longer than 8 minutes is better. I have a voltmeter on my battery terminal(i own a tC) and sometimes, it wasn't fully charged when i parked but most of the time it was. Usually only time it wasn't is when i was blastin on and off the entire time i was driving. This is off of a 1,500w amp.

nah, gettin a smaller pulley so i can get 140A at idle.

just got back, Man, that theater was PACKED! Movie was pretty good, "out of this world" if u ask me, hehe.

i hope not! Can't charge over 14.3v on 16v.. that's a big nono, hehe. I have no idea what the max charge voltage is for their 16v. If you are asking what's the max charge voltage for their 16v hooked onto the 12v cell.... i would have to assume it is the same. the reason i would think that is why would they make all these batts and make this 16v totally different... But then again, who knows.... Only way to know for sure is ask them over the phone.

in power comparison- The lanzar opti2000d would put out more power but only if you can keep the voltage above 13.2-13.5v That amp has been tested to do around 1,940w @13.8v but at 0.5ohm nominal. 1 ohm is around 1,600w. So, if you plan to run at 1 ohm nominal, sundown over lanzar for sure. The sundown can sustain it's output rating even at 11v, and the higher the voltage, the more power. I know nothing experience-wise about the Brutus line so i can't comment on it.

hey, does anyone know if kids are already out of school? Just wondering because if they are.... i might need to go get my ticket now.
