haha i made my decision before you even answered. i'm gunna go! your post just made me even more excited lol.. so i'm gunna get some sleep til about 8:30 maybe 9 with the snooze button then get some gas and some money out of the bank and head on up to tewksbury so i will see you tomorrow Bill cant wait.. hopefully i can get 2nd after you ofcourse.. no way im touching a 143.. or maybe i'll be in A1.. but i dont think i can who knows though

Ya brotha! Thats good info my traveling partner will be happy to hear that. Can't wait, so I am to assume your going to be in the 150's now right? Don't answer that I want it to be a suprise. I'll make sure to tell the retard you loaned out your test disk to bring it to the show, oh wait thats me! & you didn't loan it I accidentally jacked it! Doh! btw to anyone in the North East, the man I quoted here is THE MAN when it comes to enclosure design and fabrication. He's built enclosures for almost all of my fellow club members including myself (as well as many other competetors) and all of us got instantly loud! He builds one of a kind enclosure to boot. Want to be loud AND unique? He is the MAN! And his prices are crazy! I'll prob. never build another enclosure myself, cuz now I know him! Glad to see you posting here bro, this is a great site! OK back on track in this thread (sorry but I had to say all that) Alot of personal high scores gonna be posted at this show! It feels like an eternity since last NESPL event, thanks to the rain its been about a month!! Weak, thanks for nothing mother nature! btw Tuscon, I found a new "old song" that hits great in my ride, doubt it hits higher then what we tested but its close. I'll have to use it on my 2nd run perhaps, sure you'll be familiar with it. Finally NESPL is back in full swing, street beat happening too, sickness! Been since Sanford for that! Hey Mr. Barber you change that 99.9% to a 100% for tom.? Your coming right? Gonna be a good one to hit up. dude... my friend that was gunna go with me just bailed.. ledgit 10 minutes ago... and its a far trip and didnt wanna drive by myself haha... and plus i could sleep in now but is this one strictly spl or is there a car show part also? tell me something that will motivate me to go. lol Go for the love of the sport! Enjoy hanging with some friends and soak up everything ya can to put into your own build. ! Have I been reading right that it's easier to get a trunk loud than a van? haha i know i know thats whats making me still want to go anyways... just got a lot going on

mannn.. idk.. my friend that was gunna go with me bailed and it's kind of a far trip for me i guess and i dont really wanna go alone.. and i could also get to sleep in but i realllyy wanna go.. is this strictly just an spl event or is there a car show also? tell me something that give me the motivation to go. lol

how early is early? because that sounds good haha and thanks that's good to hear -Marcus

haha seems like I've missed a couple things while I was out today lol but I'm almost 100% sure I'll be heading up to Tewksbury this weekend so I'll be seeing you there Bill. there's still a couple odds and ends I still haven't tied up but I really have no time haha. but I'm pretty damn sure I'll be in the 40's this time. I wish I would hit a 145 but I'll be happy with a 141. with all the impedance rise and shit I don't think I'm seeing full potential out of my amp. and my electrical isn't set either. a high output alt would do me good but the prices are crazy. but all I can do now is prepare and hope for the best. -Marcus

going to try my best to get there since it's probably the last one I'll be to get to until next season. looking forward to every event next year though. I think you guys will be surprised in the improvements since the raynham event

nice spot i think- no? saving batteries $50 at a time

Ok so more pics.. What could it be? Hmmm... Aha! Finally.

yea its finally at 1ohm. the voltage is pretty good.. if i stop and keep it at full blast it dropes to the 12's.. but if i kepp moving i only see drops into the middle 13's. but thats at the front battery. i havent checked the back one yet. which i should and am going to do tomorrow. then i'll give you a better answer haha. but i have a funny feeling i'm not seeing 2,000 watts.. but i could be. gotta figure it all out soon. have a feeling it's the box.

So it's been a while... got in the Deka 9A31 and everything. and it's all in and i have a good amount of pics.. just don;t feel like uploading today. but between work. working on my setup. and football. its hard to find time to take pictures and post an do all that good stuff haha. anyways everything is about wrapped up FOR NOW . i dont know how much more i really want to put into this car.. seeing it's only my first.. and i want an SUV by next spring. BAD. trunks sucks mannnn. SPL isn't as good. suvs are much easier to work on and in. but the BTL is tearing up my car pretty nicely more pics soon! and vids! wait............ where's my effin rear view mirror? oh there it is... on my passenger seat? it decided to snap off while i was driving haha.. i have to say it startled me a little....sanpped the plastic in half and it can;t be fixed.. so to the junk yard for me.. maybe i can find a crashed up maxima with a mint rearview

Ok well i'm from southeastern Massachusetts and I need an XS Power D3100. I don't really want to buy one online so I was wondeing if anyone on here could tell me where I could find one. If anyone knows a place in my state please just hook me up with the name and number so I can figure it out. I'd even be willing to drive to Rhode Island or Conneticut if it wasnt too far.. Thanks!

i would go with one 4000 personally you'll match the RMS of the subs so it'll be safe - 2000 to each and i've heard two btl's off one RF 4000. and damn.. i think you'll be plenty happy with one RF4000 and so will your pocket

Has anybody ordered a battery from remybattery.com before? If so, how did they alert you as to when your stuff ships? They didn't ask for an email or anything in the order form. Or do you get pleasantly surprised one day?

iiiiiiiiiiiiight thanks man

did the battery(ies) come charged? most places send them out charging around 12.7 or 12.8 so you should check them first before putting them in. hmm and i don't have a charger either... but what should it be at before i put it in

did the battery(ies) come charged?

yea i just got an email from them.. i totalllllly forgot i made an account before hand since you need one to buy anything lol and maybe by friday if i'm lucky but any deka batteries in those orders perhaps?

yea thank god it does.. really turned my stomach thinking about sending it back. still does but I think it'll be ok. anyways... I might buy a battery either tomorrow or the next day so once I get that-you know the deal! 1ohm. but I will be extra sensitive on the volume knob to be extra safe.

Ok so yesterday i smelt a weird ass smell. It almost smelt like manure or something. Then I smelt it again today, twice. The second time i popped the trunk and stuck my nose in the port.. found the source of the funk... It was a burning smell. I was listening to music at full tilt which i regularly do. The oinly change i've made was putting on the loudness feature on my headunit. So what's the deal? The spider is fine and the voice coils look ok but they have spots on them that look like rust or something. Also the burn marks of the terminals aren't from me. My sub came like that. Here's the pics. I ripped the sub out to investigate. But i'm stumped. It seems that the smell is coming tfrom inside the holes at the bottom of the basket. The arms of the basket were warm to the touch which is weird. the magnet is also warm to the touch still after being off for 20 minutes atleast. The cone moves fine BTW with non noise. First Terminal

this event sounds badass haha. I definately plan on going. although it is an absoulte hike from where I live I still want to go.. plan on seeing me there as long as everything goes the way I want. I'll be back in school but it shouldn't be a biggie.. can wait! and I'm curious as what to the special trophies are for... hmm?

AFAIK running it at 4ohms won't cause more wear and tear. BUT Look at it this way, it gets less power at 4ohms than at 1ohm so in order to get the same output you have to turn it up (gains or headunit or loud or bass boost) more which may lead you to heading into clipping with incorrectly set gains in the quest for *MORE* bump. That being said I don't know if running it with more power (if you wire to 1ohm) may let it die faster due to the damage already received? If you can, go have a look at a good "setting the gains" tutorial online and set them properly. Once you've set them that IS as much output as it gets in the current setup (box, placement etc...)............. Any type of boost or loud or more gains may lead to damage (could be slow long term or bang pfffff gone) even if it sounds louder at the time. Glad to hear that it sounds fine though..... hopefully alot more faithful service is to be had from the beast. Jono running it with more power is worrying me but then if i goes then i know i should send it in i already know how to set the gain lol thanks.. i do it with a dmm thanks for helping! turned the loud button off. and reset the gain. and i won't go higher. i just wish i had a oscilloscope so i can pinpoint exactly where to stop. but i don't.. only a dmm.. know any where i can find an oscilloscope for a reasonable price? and if and when i wire it down to 1ohm.. will more power kill it since it's already damaged? or would it be the same? (doing everything properly) thanks!

ok so i just tested out the sub and it sounds fine but i know i still damaged some coils. the coils that i can see still look brand new.. but idk about the ones that are deeper that aren't visible should i be alright using it? i will not abuse that thing ever again. this was a big notification to me that they aren't industructable would it be wired to 4ohms have to do with more wear and tear on the sub.. since there's more resistance and all? or am i wrong? thanks for the help guys.. i'm just nervous to go play it and have it get messed up even more! how long should it last me now with minor coil damage with?

but back to finding a battery.. im researching now and i decided i;ll just email xspower's support email and ask em if they have any dealers near me (not that i need the battery now anyways :/ but i mine as well pass the time)

haha thanks.. i'll remember that for next time
