    Rushnrun's Dodge Ram 1500 install

    let's see it what ORG are you building for? each one needs a different design to be loud at the mic location.. sealed on the dash is way easier/louder than the meca headrest score... 2-3db louder... I haven't metered mine on the dash but I'm sure it does a pretty little number. I am building it for USACi's Street Beat...... but mostly for daily driving and pounding. damn when did this happen. oh and rush run that setup is looken really mean man. Also it just hit me mine does peak at 43 so im sure a higher tune would do the trick. I do have a single 15 box tuned a 36 something with alot of port area but i dont wanna run the risk of burping the x-con on 3500-4000 watts.

    Trying to hit 155+ with this set up...

    I agree i think you would be more happy with a strong ground pounder. I wouldn't doubt you could make a strong 150 either.

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE ON FORUMS?!

    Like he said. I gotta add every moron thinks they know how to install a system and make it sound good but they don't. That guy just proves his ignorance when he says its all plug and play.

    Rushnrun's Dodge Ram 1500 install

    thanks! do you do meca as well? I see you have a headrest score posted as well. **playing "white Girl" I can do a 149.9 *(peak)* this plays music all day with no issues (due to the low power and low tuning) Yeah i do meca but i think my main problem is my car. I think if i could brace the roof up some and use a box tuned higher than 30hz id do a lot better. I was going for a groundpounder though and i got that for sure.

    Post your SAZ-3500D Power Tests

    If you have one sitting at the shop you can swap out my 3000d for a test if you want. Just to get numbers cant afford to upgrade any further haha.
  15. boo i want one, too bad they are expensive
  16. If they say they are 4ohm components that means after they are connected to the crossover it will be 4 ohms. The main deciding factor is actually the mid range driver since the coil on the tweeter is so small. It has a small effect on the overall independence.

    glad to be here but

    very dependent honestly. probably wont hear a world of difference but a small amount might meter a few db's higher though.

    Mazda Tribute x-con build

    clamped the amp today and got some good numbers. more than i expected with a rise of 1.7-1.8 Forgot to use a higher tone though, only used a 45hz tone so im sure with a higher tone like 55-60 it would changes the numbers a little. 77.1 volts x 37.5 amps ------------ 2891.25 watts

    New System Ideas. Have To Downgrade :(

    thanks. ill look into that. well i brought it in last time and i had to get a new radiator and new brakes, some stuff non-related, but they said my alternator was failing so they "rebuilt" it and im guessing it went again so im guessing im gunna need a new alternator when i go back. That'll be a bitch. And last week i just bought a new starting battery. Ill go with it being an alternator. Personally to me i don't trust rebuilt alternators at all.

    New System Ideas. Have To Downgrade :(

    Your mechanic may be an idiot. What are his reasons for the belt not being able to handle it? Other than that recheck all your grounds and power wires. Also be sure to have your alternator and battery tested that will most likely show you the problem. Iv had a 1200d when there wasn't sufficient power it cut off and didn't harm my car at all, I will say you'll need to pick up a small battery they are pretty hungry little buggers.

    155 is far harder to get due to a vehicles failure rate. It can be done but i think its gonna take a good deal more than 4kw.
