you know i wonder if that 3prong plug can be opened up. kinda like a normal plug for extension cord. i am thinking maybe just use one of these if you can use one of those 1/0 step down terminal things crap i forgot there name let me google it and see fi i can get a pic! got it http://app.infopia.com/img/image/fp/VPID/1547191/size/175

wtf? wow nothign like compacting it all dman man! so that wire coming off of the positive terminal that goes all the way to the alt? and then that wire is 3 prong plug?

ya i don't know man. the only thing i would recommend you doing is calling up a local alt shop and telling them what you wnat to do and ask how can you do it. they might have to jimmy rig something on it you got an interesting alt and location lol

o wow interesting! what that silver screw on the back for? mouting(pic 3)? it looks like it has a point on it and you weren't lying that thing looks bitch to get at

ya good point there! jcardin

any updates on this issue?

4inch port..isn't that a little big? maybe step down to a 2inch port? or maybe 2 -2inch ports

and i assume you are refering to the 540MR http://www.cdstandbypower.com/product/battery/vrla/pdf/12_1029.pdf

I have a buddy who is running 2 of those C&D huge @$$ 100lb batteries! I think the main reason (my own personal belief) that they can't sell them due to how much they weigh. SO they have to sell them cheaper than normal plus i think they are like 30% bigger than most other batteries also. so due there added size and weigh factor. but my buddy swears by them as he thinks they are the best batteries around due to their huge ah and reserve!

Okay so I will just tune it to 41.5 Hz and I will not worry about spl! I guess! Thanks for your recommendation. Also quick question how do you know my resonate frequency of my car? Just from what you have heard? And yes why tune to half a hertz? And yes I plan on tuning to half a hertz so please do enlighten me as to how half a hertz will sound better/perform? and thanks for your help Kenneth

for my alt there is no wire to ground the alt to the engine block BUT my alt ground via the bolts that bold it to the engine. as for hooking up a bigger guage wire to your 3prong ya i don't knwo we would have to see a pic. maybe get a trouble light and your camera and see what you can do.

So in the future, about spring time, I am going to be upgrading to 2-15" NS in my car powered by 2-SAZ2000 strapped amps. So I will be pushing about 4000rms at 2ohm and now i am looking at which batteries to purchase. Here are the 2 which i found, either 2- XS2700 or 2- kinetik hc2400. My question to you is what would you use? XS or Kinetik? the price for the 2700 and hc2400 are about the same, on ebay and ssa. i am leaning towards the XS myself. but i have LOTS of time to think about it! please feel free to make some suggestions to other batteries but please keep in mind space limitations of 13"x6.7". I will get accurate measurements on Wednesday. Kenneth And please feel free to make suggestions. and keep in mind I want to the batteries to have about 100 AH plus! Thanks for your time and suggestions!

The design is one of shizzzons so i can't take the credit! umm i wouldn't call this a walled b/c i don't have a huge port and cubics to play with. the loading area port will not be restricted by anything as my seats full down so this setup is quite unique i would say. in sarnia and windsor we don't have very many shows at all and the closes meter to me is about 3hour drive ish. and right now i don't want to compete full time as i am going to school and what not! and yes i also agree with gary "Your resonant freq. is probably going to be around 44-48hz. With the design in your drawing, it will probably be tuned to low for a really good spl score. But would be great for music. To get a good spl tuning you would more than likely end up with a negative port length. "

negative port... so spl isn't for me then with this type of setup? and i should jsut stick to 45hz for my daily system? or did i just miss what you were saying?

any more question please feel free to ask them also a recommend tuning range would be nice so i have something to shoot for!

also those ports will FIRE directly into the cab and the LOAD area under the subs will fire into the cab as well

i thought you would say that. i guess i will have to play around with my ports then. lucky for me i am going to have an interchangeable port idea so this shouldn't be a big deal. but still a lot of work.

sorry guys here is the missing info car: 95 grand am electrical big 3, 2-d2700 subs are d2 so the wiring will be at 2ohm spl goal is 149-151 db!! (hopefully) deadening so far is jsut the front doors later on when i start my build i will deaden my trunk nearly completely here is what my box is here is the cut list for my box Top - 36*30 Bottom - 10*29.25 Passenger Side - 16.5*30 Driver Side - 17.250*30 Front - 18*36 Back - 17.25*34.5 Step - 4*29.25 Sub Mount board - 26*29.250 Second Port - 10*17.25 First Port - 10*17.25 all out of 3/4 mdf and there will be supports in there jsut not shown in the pic i also have a 200amp alt.

Sound Quality Level! but with those 2 big hitters what is "SQL" lol!

Z15

if they are 15's shouldn't he have like double the cubic volume?

and here are some sites for reference: http://www.kinetikaudio.com/2009/product.asp?C=1&P=KHC2400 http://www.4xspower.com/audiobatteries.asp

sweet design! lol!! and pardon my ignorance are those 2 15's or 2 12's? and how big is that port 10inch llol!!! i assume 12's b/c of the box being about 3cubics after displacement.

interesting i was talking to my buddy who was running a similar amp to the one you are talking about and the same thing happened to him although when his popped out and then hit the terminal again it killed a output transistor. something along those lines. but your sub still fires so ya i don't really know what is up maybe something in the pre-amp is half burnt or something interesting. most definitely take it in or even open the amp yourself and post some pics of it and see what the experts on here say about your pics!! also you said you are only using 1 of the 2 channels b/c channel 1 (or 2) blow one of your subs? is this sub still connected?

wow that is bad! recone ftw for sure!!!
