The Havoc is close to the Q. The Havoc comes stander-ed (no options) except 1ohm/2ohm. Unless you have a dealer to work with for AA the Q may be easier to get your hands on. They can use the same box specs it really would come down to looks.

battery or capacitor

You have to live and learn but caps are a waste unless your running like 200 watts (my opinion) MLA -
We are done with the cs 144 older style GM plug modules. Thanks MLA
-
I was having problems with duel alternators on my 05 hummer basically the computer would shut them off when I would plug in the second alt.Coming to find out I was not alone lots of people have a similar voltage problem.I am wondering how many more people have this problem.GM has a new 80% charging set point 13.8volts is all the computer will allow your system to charge.Anyone else having problems all makes and models info welcome.
-
Keep me posted, you will see a better stable system in a few days when your batteries are full.

The module is designed to take back control of your alt from your computer. It was made for the newer cars for your exact reason. Works on stock or high out put alts. missinglinkaudio.com our # is @ the bottom of the page call if you have any questions or email any pics and or questions you may have. Thanks, MLA (Still working on the MLA section sorry its taking so long.)

Its cool bro, I no people don't have all the info on us but ask Questions. Np Thank you ,MLA

All the newer cars are charging at less than 14volts. So proving that you can never fully charge an after market battery like optima , kinetic ,ect... on a factory chargeing system. EDIT ) Sorry our designer has a 93 ford f-150 with a 98 battery and has been running it @ 15+ volts for the last 4 yrs and has never seen over charging problems. MLA
-
Well his battery will only see 15.3 to 15.5 COLD when his system heats up it will stablelize @ 14.7 so I guess like you said perfect for optima. It does not lock at 15.5 only when cold. Our designer worked for the airforce , and navy as well. We'll we dont make units for airplanes though so not sure on that one! thanks for the info.

Where did you get this information? If your battery never gets fully charged it wont last as long you think the battery companies don't know this. Any battery like optima , kinetic , ect... needs around 2.8 volts per cell to achieve a full charge. Kinetic likes their batteries to rest 13.5 or more. If your factory set up charges @ 13.8 you have to deduct 1 to 1.5 volt loss with your car off. In this case your battery will never see full charge. This is not just for competitors we have off road guy's that run lights, wenches, and helps out on airbag compressors. GM states anything between 11 & 18 volts is safe for your charging system. I agree this does benefit the audio guy's more but why does a battery go dead? (Low charging) Why do people buy bigger alternators? (more charge) Why have they made external adjustable regulators adjustable to over 16v. We are about safety, when his alts get hot or his batteries are full his system will still back off (charge) when needed. Steve Meade has one on his 4 alt set up for a couple of months now no problems. He even BOUGHT one for the hooptie after seeing the effects he got.

Cool, Your opinion how is the overall look of the module? When your ready to jump we'll help in anyway we can. Thank you, MLA
-
We can make you one to charge at 18volt as well. With two you could do quick connects and roll 18v to the lane the swap it back over for the ride home! For future competitors we can accomplish this set up with one unit. Lord ) if you decide to do this let us know I'll hook you up! Sorry I didn't know you were planing on running a 16v set up or I would of mentioned this set up.

sweet video's.............. chris your the man !! Hey, I have your vids from spring break in the ascendant audio booth with the curtain flailing through your window.I'll post them as soon as I get them on my computer.We also have the cs144,cs130 dogleg plugs ready.He thinks your alternator will work just fine.That add on was a cheap and unreliable way to increase voltage he ordered one (similar) it would top off @ 15v then back down to 14.4 cold very unstable.Were going to try to make yours able to work off your factory wires again.

Out of the subs that get shipped to us (FI) alot of times they never send any info with the sub so we have no idea who it belongs to and have to wait till someone calls.This may or may not be the case but Scott does not try to hide anything and he would prefer documentation.
-
No sir its not. Its being smart business wise. I never said They would screw me over, but people do get ripped all the time. I work vary hard for the things that i have, and i like to know exactly where my money goes. Its not like there would be documentation in writing (invoice) saying that im paying Fi to rebuild my sub. All i was told was to send it back to an address and someone would just call me on its current condition. Yes sir it is. Why would an established company whom does thousands of transactions try to screw you over a motor for their entry line subs? And yes there would be paper work for the transaction, what do you think the correspondence is via emails and the such with them. Im a Company myself. Send me some money in the mail and if theres no documentation of it, or if it gets stolen or lost in the mail then tough luck. Ive never meet these guys, although id like to, but stuff happens alot of times. Not trying to be hasty, but you have to have some common sense when your dealing with money. I have never sent them back a subwoofer, so i was only making accusations about how things were to be done.
-
Listen to it, if it sounds weird or Is moving like mad then tweak the amp down a bit.On the ported side of things make sure you set the sub sonic.If your not tuned right its brutal on any sub.Really play around with this when the sub seems the loudest but doesn't move as much that's your tuning set point.Keep the sub sonic 2 or so hertz below that point should be fine.Its not in writing but it gets ya close.

It took me a year to build in my garage.But it gets the looks and is a house payment lol

Yo nick where's my pepo music,and don't forget that song lil john was playing mane!!! Had fun at spring break when you coming to Vegas?
-
I hear you on that. As from talking to him on the internet hes been a pretty cool guy. What could i possibly do with a blown subwoofer? No one is going to buy it and i have no idea or experience with rebuilding them. Im possibly going to upgrade to a 15'' Q just because i hear such good reviews from people about them. Scott could possibly make money off me because i would basically be giving him a blown sub that he could re build really cheap and sell for full price again. Anyways, ill let you know whats up. Thanks for all the help I've worked @ FI for over a year now and I can say one thing scott would never resale a sub as new.Honestly it takes us longer to recone one than to build one from scratch.

Well I run both alts @ 16.2 cold, they set at 15.6-15.8 hot.My amps only see 15-15.2 after running through the system.This is why I asked if anyone currently has a 15,000plus 16.9 volt daily driver for the same reason heat.With the increase in voltage my system stays cooler while bumpin.It now stays charged and so the alts really don't work as hard to keep up.I know alot of people don't see this as true but we developed this at the FI shop if you really don't believe me ask my boss Scott.He was a part of this module as well after all it was the ascendant audio / Kinetic demo car for sema.
-
At idle when cold.After the alts warm up a bit they settle to around 15.6 to 15.8 pending on how im bumping. and how many watts are you pushing? Sorry, I was reading back through and see I didn't awnser. 18,000 watts to subs 20,000watts total.
