You guys scared him off since you told him to type in English! I got money in da bank

In a nutshell, pros: gives you a short extra power burst during high demand cons: that power burst could potentially be 100x greater with a larger battery unlike a battery it can't make its own power so it will drain it from the battery

No this thread = learning. trip, I know you want to get this up and running asap but let me tell you that it's worth the wait financially speaking. I rushed into my first stereo 2 years ago and 6 months later I became disappointed with it. Even now I'm not finished buying and installing all the stuff I want but I know I'll be much happier because I took my time on this one... well actually slow income made me take more time. Do it right.

What's the amp?

Yeah but I've already figured out that a bunch of 12 gauge will equal 4 gauge, if not more, so if I still have voltage problems after that, I'll just get a cheap cap, but I'm not sure what size cap to get. I'm thinking around 2 farad, the manual on Rockford's site says 1.5 farad, but I wanna get a cheap off brand one, like Boss or something. NO Ok ok, jeez... lol sorry it's so blunt but the lasagna finished cooking. Really, you'd be wasting your money to go this route. In the money it takes to buy a cheap cap, you could get all the used 4g you need.

I think it's becoming more and more obvious to wait until this can be done right. Why rush it when you might risk it?

Is that true or were you just making a number? If 2.5 (whatever) runs of 12 gauge equals 1 run of 4 gauge, then I might just do 3 runs of 12 gauge. According to the american wire gauge chart the conductor diameter of 4guage is 0.2043" and 12gauge is 0.0808". 0.2043/0.0808 = 2.5284653465346534653465346534653 mmmm Im not sure it works like that. BCAE website wire section: If you need to know how many 12gauge wires are equal to 1 4gauge wire(s), press this . The answer is: 6.35

That's great but where is the sub?!!! oh wait there it is

Learning to set your gains is free. It takes less time. If they learn that there might be chance to blow the subs, no doubt they will ask why or how to fix it. I bet 99% of the time people will say something other than fusing it. In which case the user would probably prefer to set gain rather than fuse it (if he ever found out) from popularity.

A fuse assumes chances of too much current. You would have to assume you are going to send your sub too much power to begin with. If you can choose how much power to send to your subs, why would you fuse it? Shakes head.

what?

3500rms to one dp21? Even if you wire it to 2 ohms it'd be a shame not to use full power.

it would be 3 q's or four ssd sealed and only 2 q's or bl's in ported box in the trunk. Ahh ok I must've skipped over the sealed part and assumed ported for all.

Good luck getting three or four 12's in a ported box in just the trunk.

MAP Pricing on them will be 12" $379 15" $389 18" $399 + shipping. That's less than what I figured :clap: but I forgot about shipping

School has been a bitch and sleep has been out of reach because of it. That's why no progress in almost a month except for today. In case I forgot to say, the sub and the sub amp has been out for a WHILE now, I think even before I put the 800 in. In that time, I sold both RF T1k's and bought a SAZ-3kd. All 3 of the sundown amps are sitting in my room on my sub box because I have yet to build the rack for them. I was really wanting to built a sweet looking one where they all have their back against the sub box and angle down on each other but I don't see a point since the box for the next subs will allow NO room for it. It will look kinda plain, just to serve as a rack and nothing to look at. Either way, it'll take time I don't really have. So in the meantime, I'm trying to take care of the little things. Today I relocated the ground from the panel connecting the trunk floor to the back seat to the frame. It was more of a bitch than I thought it would be but it's in and it's super secure. I didn't think it was worthy of pictures since it's not much of anything... so maybe next time.

verrrry nice!

jes plees mang!

Congratulations! What's the name?

hey mang

Dang that's like a banana rave

What I want to do is hook the speaker outs from my amp to my computer with some adapter to see exactly what frequencies are present between the crossover points. This way I won't have to guess where 2500hz is on a lpf/hpf knob that is only labeled with 500 and 5000hz. I want to visually see the range on a db/hz plot. Is there a program like I described above? What's the name of it? Is there a device that will accept the + and - speaker wire and convert them to a stereo connection for the mic input on my computer? Would this just be a regular adapter that connects the - to one lead and the + to the other lead of the stereo connection? This is to help get starting points my fronts. If it works well enough, I may just use it to fully tune it unless there are convincing arguments against it.

I had to prop it up against a bus and back away like 50 feet to get all of it in.
