A little bit of shadowing around the Sound Solutions Audio banner and a little angling of the the SSA reflection will give that logo some nice 3-D pop. Good work.

From what the Deka dealer told me when I bought my batteries, charging at these higher voltages will cause excess gas to build up inside the battery. Since they are sealed batteries the gas will balloon the case and short the plates. They will not warranty a battery if it's been ballooned. There is even a label on my Dekas stating do not exceed 14.7 volts when charging. In the case of high voltage/low amperage vs low voltage/high amperage what best for charging a sealed AGM battery? Right now I'm playing super safe as I don't want to ruin $1200 worth of batteries. At the same time I don't want to waste all day running back and forth to the charger to make sure everything is fine. I was hoping just setting the XP charger overnight will have the bank nicely charged and ready for a show.

5000w peak O_o Thanks. Interesting. I looked into some of those Schumacher chargers, and even the big DieHard charger I've got. The consensus was that at some point they'll charge at over 14.7 volts causing too much gas build up in sealed batteries. Thanks I dig the way it looks too. Might even be able to gather more attention than some of those scandaley clad bikini girls as some of the shows. As for the jackers..... For what it's worth the tint is pretty dark on the Suburban. If any thing I'll just throw a blanket over them when parked some where, so you cant see what's under there. We can only do so much. :\ Back to work

Looks like fun, congrats on the new toy. Now go make sum moar monies.

That's what she said. Looks good Buddy. Actually , looks pretty badass with the subs inverted and that monster amp. Lol. Thanks fellas. Since I'll possibly be losing a little bit of out put I figure I'd go full tilt on the WOW factor and go the invert sub mount. Here are some real pics of what the finished product will look like. WOW! Here is an over the shoulder look towards the rear. Third row seats are hiding all the bling. Lets try that shot again with the third row seat folded down. Much better.

Dang bro, that some luck, two broken chargers. I ran this one on a Deka Intimidator and it seemed fine. I had a volt meter on it just in case. It started out at 14.4, after an hour and a half it was down to 14.0, which seems on part with what the manual said it would do. The battery was on the charger for about 3 hours, but I never got the fully charged green light. The Deka was at 12.4 before I got it on the charger. None the less, brand and model number of the one you got a Pep Boys for $50. I want to check it out for myself. Naw, just a little something for chits and giggles. They are about as different as they come. Wait for the clear pic of them invert mounted, along with the Warhorse, this should gather some attention. We'll see. I'm getting a little antsy waiting to finish it off and get it going.

Chit, that sux. What happend? I'm just curious to see how the JBLs will sound. I've got a pair in my home setup and they rock. I think with a little cabin gain they'll be just as loud and sound cleaner. Blend better with the mid-bass.

Wow, even more interesting. I'm just wondering how intelligent this intelligent charger really is. I mean will another charger confuse it and think the batteries are fully charged or cause it to go nuts? Waiting to here what XS Power has to say about the matter. It'd be cool as heck if I could just hook up the pair of chargers without having to divide the bank of batteries. This charger is a 15 amp unit for those wondering.

That's pretty interesting man. I'm gonna inquire about it to XS Power and see what they would have to say about it. Thanks for the info. 04 Chevy Suburban

I'm sorry to hear you are going through this. All the hard work.

X2. Go for broke and tune at 28Hz. Also, once you have your setup up and running conduct some test to make sure you're getting the most from your setup. Drop off a buddy a couple of blocks away and play your setup full blast while alternating opening windows. Your ride will be like a quasi-6th order band pass enclosure. Effing high tech mang. Remember to conduct neighborhood surveys as well. Once you've driven through at full tilt, go back and ask residents how loud was your setup. Have them rate you loudness on a scale of 1- "Yes I could hear it inside my house", 5- " I could feel the bass inside my house" to 10 "Shit was falling off the shelves it was so damn loud!" Remember extra points are given if priceless family heirlooms fall and break. For clarification purposes: No, those stupid "Precious Moments" statues do not qualify as family heirlooms. Remember, be loud, be proud, and thanks for fucking up our hobby areshole!

you dont have a ford! I have a friend who does. If he wanted one I could help him out.

Do you have a pic of what comes with the idler kit? I'm curious to know what's involved before taking the plunge.

Ouch. Hope you guys are back online safely, crashing tools and scraping parts hurts. Good luck.

I had trouble with a crashing HAAS. It turned out to be my coding. The CAM software would animate a rapid movement in a straight line from point "a" to point "b". In reality when the machine machine would execute a rapid move it would turn both the "x" and "y" servos at max rpm. The tool would travel at a 45 degree linear motion towards point "b" then shut off one servo, completing the move in a straight line motion. It took adjusting setting in my CAM software to get it resolved. Pain in the ass to figure out what was going on though. If you ever need programing help let me know I'd be glad to help.

Congrats, everything is becoming a reality.

True story, saw it with my own eyes. O_o

WOW! Chit, I don't know what to say. Those are some humbling words from who I consider a true and honest heavy hitter. Thanks man. All I need now is a little work on the sub-stage and I'll be set.

Ha ha. What I meant was that I look like a dork in a pic I come out in. As for pics this is the only one I took. :\ I've been off on my pic taking game as of lately.

Awe shit!

It was a fun lil show. My poor 9515s are still trying to cool off from all the demoing. P.S. I take the worst pictures. See you all at the next show.

Good read. Right now I'm in the position of having subs with the wrong coil configuration so I am going to strap a pair of amps to get max output out of them. Once I do that and cook the coils I recone to the proper voice coil cofiguration to get the most out of my amps without having to strap them together. I'm joking about cooking the coils. Thanks for sharing the pitfalls of strapping amps.

I see what you did there.

Awe chit! I fhawking love Wilfred!
