  1. umm wait just a second here. The fuses on the amp are to protect the amp.. not the wire. You still need a fuse on the wire that goes to the amp.

    FLAC is just a lossless codec. Smaller than AIFF, it has nothing to do with the reproductive qualities of music or how it was recorded.

    2.7" Coils

    I really doubt you know what's going to be better for the JL motor than JL does. After all, who spent millions on R&D? You or JL? Just saying, you're pretty much ruining resale value on it as well. It's an SQ subwoofer, good at sounding good. It's not some fart machine that you cobble together using bastard parts to hit 150+dB where it doesn't matter if it sounds good or not. I never said that I was trying to hit 150+dB. I just wanted to have it rebuilt for my own personal uses not to compete or anything of the sort. I wasn't implying that you were, I was using custom recones as an example. Thanks for being so uptight about it though. Don't ask for advice if you're not going to follow any of it.
  4. got any for 2/0? lol 124108-001 - 124108-001

    Could check the user manual as well, which if you bought it new.. it should come with.

    It'll probably produce noise, yes.
  11. XS Power D2700 would be my choice.

    What size ANL fuses to use??

    Basically, the thought process goes somewhat like this. You have three amps, you add up the amperage total of those amps and choose the appropriate cable to fit the current needs. Once there, you go with fusing per cable to fit your cabling needs.

    What size ANL fuses to use??

    Once again folks.. The fuse on the wire isn't to protect the equipment, its there to protect the wire. Everytime you drop the wire size off of the main run you should re-fuse the wire with an appropriate fuse. If you have a run of 1/0awg running from the battery to a fused distro block, and from there it splits to one 4awg and one 8awg. Your main line is fused with a 200-300a fuse because that's what that 1/0awg is capable of carrying. If you don't fuse the smaller wires to what they are capable of carrying (70-80a for 8awg, 100-150a for 4awg) and you short the power cable, you're going to be sending 300a of current down those tiny wires. That's going to result in melting wire, and most certainly, fire.

    The most EPIC movie on HID's...Ever!

    Looks like you lost some quality in the transfer from camera to editing program. Your frame rate seems a little low too. We'll have to eff with it sometime to get you to optimal quality.

    Ahhh the manual.. Handy things to check when you have a question.

    I have no idea what is going on...

    Sounds like either a loose ground or a pinched RCA.

    What size ANL fuses to use??

    Nice pic! That's the way I would do things. Everytime you drop the wire gauge, you should re-fuse to that new awg.
