hey I forgot about this thread, sorry man! with your 125amp alt on 12.8VDC you can support a 1600watt setup. since you said you don't want to compete and you want more of a daily setup, plus you said you want to pound it at a red light and make it sound good. plus your budget is 300$ based on those goals I am going to suggest either running 2 or 4ohm load since that will yield less of a pull on your cars electrical setup. and i am not sure if you care about used amps or bnib amps but on ebay i seen this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Kicker-KX800-2-amplifier-Barely-used-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem336685ed9dQQitemZ220763385245QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo#ht_500wt_1182 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290437189065&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3307wt_905 or if you want to go mono http://cgi.ebay.com/Kicker-08ZX750-1-/250798382165?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item3a64bf9c55#ht_729wt_1139 or http://cgi.ebay.com/Kicker-KX600-1-Car-Amplifier-/170623673957?pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item27b9f6a665#ht_695wt_1139 or even better you could get http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_67_69_80 or http://www.db-r.com/sell/store2/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_67_69_108 I like the idea of the kicker 800.2 though! if i were you I would jump on that for 200$

just like this my good man! also note in that MS paint is the BIG 3 upgrade!

1. always put fuse within 12inch (1ft) of the battery 2. will this work? http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=BT-104P or http://dts.ystoretools.com/1248/images/250x1000/gbpa1s.jpg 3. yes wire all 12vdc batteries in parellel with each other (+ to +, - to -)

every time I have purchased with KNU they always send me a shipping number. I also live in Canada. It also took them 2days to get me a tracking number after it was processed so what did you buy?

when your car runs out of gas because you decided to buy new subs rear-view mirror is none existent all your power window motors and auto locks are dead in your car back seat is missing for weeks always getting pulled into customs at the boarder because they think you are transporting drugs, or people in your port! your v6 3.1L engine feels like a v1 0.0L engine due to all the extra weight in your car your car/truck/suv has excellent control in the winter, due to the extra weight in your trunk!

lol! ^

you answered my question correctly! wow very nice! and that amp is a beast!!!

so does your box want to tip forward at all? lol that amps is HUGE also what are those things going into the amp outputs? also on the top of the amp is that more set screws to attach more subs?

hey man monster cable isn't my favorite stuff to use because its flex is crap and they have that stupid piece of plastic running down the center of the wire to make it look thicker! other then that i think the monster is rated for 300amps which is what 3840watts on 12.8 volts! in the long run is it bad.. no.. do i like it no lol! will you be fine with it yes! is it expensive.. it is average priced i believe.

I like the dust caps!

first verify with a dmm your voltage (i know just for kicks do it please) next check all ground connections have you done the big 3 how old is your alt? check your serpentine belt next thing if all else fails pull your alt off and get it looked at ASAP if this doesn't work so well switch batteries.. maybe your battery died or can't hold a voltage? i don't know what to tell you man i hope you figure this out.

holy cow those are awesome!! very cool thanks for posting the pics! you rock man!

.. pardon the noob question but what is a crimp sleeve? how do you use them? and i like your through the port wires! lol!

not a problem man glad I could help! enjoy your night / upcoming week! also do you have a build log? if so post it up!

bass boost must never be on brother! since your h/u clips at 53 I wouldn't play my system above 53 for a daily setup. look at it like this your amp will AMPLIFY Anything the H/U tosses at it, now lets say your H/U sends a clipped signal to the amp... since your amp isn't selective in what it plays it will most definitely play/amply that clipped signal and send it directly to the sub! is that good.. you be the judge amplifying a clipped signal good>? bad? your call!

so what you are saying is your H/U clips at 53 and you are saying you touch the gains on the amp and it goes directly into protect? so now i must ask what ton are you using to set your amp with? and if the amp is clipping then it is clipping nothing you can do about it.

dcon? why step down? just get the xcon or wait it out!

hey superman don't pull so hard! LMAO lol JK sorry to hear about your misfortune!

well Mr.T I got a few more questions for you: 12. what ohm load would you like to run, keeping in mind these subs are D4 or S4 so you can run 2 of them in either 1,2,4,8 ohm 13. how much power do you want to give each of these subs 14. got any good pics of your x? lol JK now to restate my 3/4/9 questions 3. have you ever done car audio before? if so to what power extent (how much power) 4. what is your alts rating and front battery rating 9. do you have any extra batteries laying around or wires? or is this a fresh build! at any do you have a preference towards amp brands?

ya I kind a figured just hooking a dmm up to the wire would yield 0 ohms lol! at any rate thanks for the link I will look into it more although the issue is still around that i am in college and money some days is hard to come by lol! but hey if yo know anyone who has this type of test stuff to help with this please forward them my e-mail [email protected] or p/m me here! thanks again man

cool! it almost looks bullet proof! hey would the rhino liner have a positive effect for car audio? would it be like putting sound deadener on?

test equipment is expensive and i am poor as i am a school still lol! but I am sure my findings will shed some light on the brands out there and help a lot of ppl pick a brand of 1/0 to use!

Right on conduit material! very do-able as for over sized wire or not i think that would relate to the conduit OD as for what the jacket is made up of umm rubber? plastic lol!

I plan to do a few tests, flex OD (outside diameter) Conduit OD Jacket thickness cost 1-10 rating ohm test.. I also wanted to find someone with equipment who will be able to pass say 150 or 300amps though the wire and measure a voltage drop which I think would be pretty beneficial to know. other then that if anything comes to ANYONE mind please post it here or if someone MAY have this type of equipment to test a voltage drop please let me know!

transducers? why? I push Capacitors!
