One of relays/isolators comes stock, and its to trigger the starter I believe. The other one is so the Kinetik and diehard are not always connected, They are too different for me to feel comfortable having them together at all times. The center console because I wanted it hidden but to be closer to the amp, because I was losing 2volts from the front to the amp. I plan on putting a pair of Diehard platinums in the front, which they will always be connected to eachother. Then 2 Kinetiks which will be run together by the amps. So this temporary change will set up for that basically.

Very complex build, Definitely be interesting to hear in person. Thanks for sharing.

Thought it was gonna be a demo :/ oh well, nice vehicle, nice sound system!

Got the battery moved to the center console. All wired up to the relay Cleaned up the look of the wires with some shrink tubing Fuse going to the 2nd battery Temporary zip ties to hold the wire in place (I already have clamps) Ground going out of center console to the seat bolt Power for the soundstream going out I'm trying to retune the amps and head unit, the higher voltage cleaned up the bass, but at the same time something sounds a little funky. Maybe I'm just used to how it was before I'm not sure. I'm getting a tiny bit of a hum sometimes, so I'm gonna recheck the grounds. This is kinda progress for the new build because its laying the foundation for my electrical. Going to add another run 0/1 gauge, and some more batts. I don't really care about the current center console because I'm going to make a new one out of MDF, which is probably where one of the amps will go.

I like it

Considering the oldest sub I have is a 1st Gen Alpine type R, it seems old to me Yeah you never know when you might get the urge to just hook all of them up in your living room for some realistically loud explosions. I did check it cause I figured it would have done some damage without the spider, but the coil looked brand new, no rub or blemishes. Pretty surprising.

Thanks, Yeah I definitely had a good time today messing with these. Once he buys a new headunit we can finally listen to some decaf and see what they can really do. He actually is running that amp too, I'm trying to convince him to buy a 2000w amp to put on these if we fix them.

So... DCON's it is. National back order And? I'd rather wait for DCON's than go buy a Kicker. lolI love ssa and their subs, but comments like this and the way you guys hate "mainstream" brands is petty. Well.. Kicker subs are poorly made in my opinion, and a lot of other people think the same thing, a lot of people think differently also. Depends on what you've experienced with them. Poorly made? Bullshit. A lot of other people don't think for themselves.Are they an end all solution? No way, but a ton of their gear definitely has a place. I said in my opinion, obviously there is a lot worse. Sure there's a niche for it, but for real quality I think there are a lot better choices. Great first time subs though, which is mainly who the largest buyers of kicker subs are. That being said I hold my statement, They are definitely not my cup of tea. As I said in another thread, or this one I forget... Ive heard the new comps, and they are loud as hell for 12s on small amounts of power. They might be a good choice for beginners looking for SPL instead of SQ. Although I haven't heard them sealed, so maybe SQ is an option with them.

You weren't prepared for that knowledge drop huh? Not at all. Love the sarcasm

Flame cover huh? That's interesting hah, I dunno if I'd like that either

I think it looks good haha, it has a old school look to it. Know a couple people who still run old audiobahn amps, they don't look quite that good either

nice looking amp, what is it rated for?

I have a 5.56 AR, I'd buy ammo whenever you see it, cause if its like here in the rest of the US then its gonna be hard to get a hold of. People are stocking up masses of ammo here, namely 9mil, 223, and 556. Every time I go to sportsman's warehouse, or other carriers of ammo the shelves are nearly empty. I've heard its because of the recent bills about assault rifles, and guns in general. I have around 2,000-3,000 rounds stored away.

I like it! Gotta love those full range neo drivers.

Very nice setup, I would love to do a blow through someday.

This actually really pisses me off, cause sundown is a great company. They don't deserve this kinda BS.

ROFL, no shit eh?I thought we had already been over that. Haha yes we have.

Nah this wire has a really stretchy outer coating and the way I bent the wire made the outside pull back. The wire is solid in the there, I pulled on all of them as I hard as I could and they didn't come out. It just doesn't look very nice, so shrink tubing will fix that. Oh and yes it's soldered, and the ground dual input is actually slightly crimped too cause the were designed for that, not solder.

Thanks So I got the alternator in, but I didn't have time to move the HC1200 and rewire the amps. Also got the wrong size shrink tubing, so I will have to pick some up tomorrow to make the wires look a bit nicer. The 1/0 gauge terminals were a little tricky, very tight fit so my cuts were all over the place on the pvc outer coating... The wires look like they are run kinda messy but that will change tomorrow when I move the second battery. After doing it I took it for a drive and not only is my bass a lot clearer but all my interior, exterior lights are brighter. Charges at 14.4v-14.8v, goes up and down a little bit. I haven't had a chance to check voltage at amps or while under load or anything, but tomorrow I shall. A look at the wire Old tiny wires from my alternator Old alternator Sexy big block shot The wiring Grounds Alternator wired up Overall look

Id personally go with the Sundown SAs, just to throw my initial thoughts in there.

Its a locally manufactured brand called Arctic Ultraflex, it is nice wire but likely wont be buying it again as it was 5$ a foot. But I wanted to get this alternator in today so I bought this instead of ordering some which would take at least a week to get here.

Picked up so 1/0 G wire, fuses, and connections today to wire up the Alternator, and move the HC1200 to the center console. The wall is coming soon, this build is starting a lot slower than I expected. But money isn't right quite yet. Soon hopefully. Oh and I'm switching to the crescendo 3500 for subs, because I rather have a little extra power maybe with impedance rise then not enough. Pics:

Thank you, Ill see If I can find some locally.
