like i said before. i would upgrade the power wire and big 3 in 1/0 and remove the cap. install the new voltage meter and see how bad your voltage is then. if needed go for a second battery (wouldn't hurt anyways, but no reason to get it if you dont need it, eh'?)

testing voltage? i have my volt meter set up to my amp, so i can see exactly what it it receiving. when i say volt meter i mean something like this wire that to the amp

i would say take the cap out. upgrade to 1/0 gauge wire. get a new volt meter, and do the big 3 in the 1/0 as well, see what that does for you.

how do you know the alt isn't big enough? i would say it is for only ~1400 watts, epically with two batteries. get a volt meter and see what your voltage does with the two batteries, you should do this with just the one battery to see if you even need the second. take it one step at a time, should save you money in the long run. Dont forget to do the Big three as well! Hope That Helps Edit: damn, you guys are too quick, see next post lol

thats a lot of air. nice job

very nice, what brand? DC power? Love your avatar! lol

at the rate you're knocking boxes out, you need one of these! haha

of course you could use the tweeters and get the 6.5 you want and build your own crossover. (get the specs of the tweeter) or you could just get a nice amp with built in Xovers, OR a HU to do it more precisely.

the Quart Xover is made specifically for the Quart's 6.5. Every driver is built differently and have different ranges of frequencies it can play. Unless you can match all the speaker's specs exactly, i say dont do it.

you mean to put the sub a cardboard box of the same dimensions that you want your final box to be? it wont hold the sub. let alone play the notes accurately. you need to just build a sealed enclosure for your sub out of some 3/4" mdf or something.

It seems like there are a couple batteries on the SSa store that aren't on this list. do you have a more up to date chart? Like the D or S1400. Maybe with SSA subs in the background, and not MTX?

OP, congrats on the wifey and kid! they're fun (kids that is, no idea about wifes, but i love my niece and nephew!)

thats not a trunk though....

test what you have now, position the box differenty, use different port and sub firing positions (sub back/port back) and keep testing to see what gets the loudest. if you want to get crazy face the port and sub to cabin and seal off the trunk. tune higher if you're just going for strictly numbers.

if you lower your volume knob that lowers what the amp sees, yet if you turn up the gain on the amp the power is going to greater, so it may even out. you just have to do it and see what happens. i dont suggest running at .5 ohms, but thats just me. i haven't heard good thing when RD stuff breaks.

"This will be a pic heavy build and video heavy. Along with comparison pics with a 18 BL 18 XCON 15 Nightshade 10 ssd um I thinks that's it lol. I will save it to a disk and load it on amother computer and get it one here later. The only equipment I have thusfar is the comps and some wood. I guess I could post that up later tonight I'll make sure I get some pics. =) will probably be lots of pics coming soon!!! =) ^^^^ I will get some this weekend lol. I don't have internet access at my house so its kind of hard for me to get pics posted but where I'm doing the build I will get some. I have some pics and will post them up tomorrow Along with some pics. Comparison pics and build pics tonight. Maybe even a video! " and now a broken camera! ahh this thread is a tease...

so far so good. any numbers yet? lol

there is no set number for +- watts for a sub, it depends on the box the sub is in.

pics. maybe?

nice tweeter location/mod. keep the pics. coming. so far so good

ummm normally sealed boxes are too small to go straight to ported. we would need every dimension of the box to figure out the size and volume you have to work with. idk how to calculate port lenth and all that so its going to have to be someone with more experience.

das' a lotta' 45*s nice work. keep it up

haha that is a great post ^^ i saw that kid lip singing something on youtube, was crackin up.

lol, yeah you really need to fix that post. read the noob guild lines and edit that jumble of words to tell us what you really want to do what did you fall on? why do you have batter in your truck?

What, are the periods, commas, and punctuation playing hide and seek?! From what i understood... You are trying to get louder with the equipment you have now? If so, build a ported box to the sub's specs. and see if that does you any good. Do the "big 3" for your electrical if you haven't already.
