so what are you driving and what is your current alts amperage? for me i have a sax100.4, saz2000d, 2-batcap 2000's and a 200amp h/o at full tilt i get about ~13.3volts so for me the h/o helps out a lot i used to get about ~12-11.7 volts. but not no more since i got my h/o. if you plan to pound your system for extended time periods a h/o would help you out. also what are your goals? just a daily system to ppound and to show up those kids with crappy best buy setups? or do you plan on going an spl route?

im using there 2/0 wire and its very easy to work with. is it more flexible than kicker wire. no. but do you really need it to be that flexible? i dont. great wire with a great price. and its 100% copper. o wow flexible and 100% copper! that is enough for me! i am sold! lol! i don't need it to be TO flexible. maybe enough to bend about 60degrees is enough

so has anyone used this 4/0 wire yet? if so how was it to work with? it is pretty cheap also i was looking for a strand count but didn't notice it.

this^^^^ welding supply is the best place for wire IMO X2 WOW https://weldingsupply.securesites.com/cgi-bin/einstein.pl?PNUM::1:UNDEF:OR:304-1170 4.30-5.42

i am actually thinking about upgrading my wiring from my battery to the rear batteries with 4/0 rather then my 1/0 i have now! but for 7.50/ft is a little steep maybe i will jsut run more 1/0 wiring now lol!

7.20/foot! on ebay the going price is 7.75/foot http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-0-AWG-Tinned-Marine-Battery-Cable-Boat-Wire-BLK-ft_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem45ee5898ffQQitemZ300351527167QQptZBoatQ5fPartsQ5fAccessoriesQ5fGear and http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-0-AWG-Tinned-Marine-Battery-Cable-Boat-Wire-BLK-100_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5883737629QQitemZ380162504233QQptZBoatQ5fPartsQ5fAccessoriesQ5fGear

so that is what that means!!! thanks for explaining it in such a way that i was able to understand it.

umm it was my understanding that you first set your gain on the amp via a tone (50-60hz) then set the knob all the way to the left, min then plug it in. and away you go! when you turn the knob to max it will be max of the gain that you set. so if you turned your gain to say 30volts, when you turn the knob to max you will get 30v!

hey i never thought of that lol. thanks i will e-mial him right now!! thanks again!

I would say yes that 90Ah will be ok for the 2-SAZ-2000D's but if you go to a competition or try to pound at full tilt for a while it may be a small factor (but it depends since music is dynamic). I would suggest upgrading your starting battery to give you that extra AH if worried about it or it becomes a problem since you can get those batteries cheap. thankyou so much for your reply! and i will take your recommendation to upgrade my head battery and i can get the nsb 90's for 150 each in canada just incase someone was wondering how cheap. and i don't mean to be a dick or rub it in.

Nightshade v.2 = 2000-watt RMS model * ETA is mid 2010 (maybe sooner) is that the refered to as the monster?

ya but if it is turning off without a huge current draw why is it shutting off still? something has to be wrong. and maybe at the h/u

x2 it isn't very safe! but coming from me as i watch movies while i am driving! do as you see fit lol!! will it work while in motion...umm i should think of it as a cell phone! as you move the cell still gets signal strengh right? and if you are moving into a signal you should get pretty good picture lol!! but then again that is just what i think and i cuold be 100% wrong on that! so don't take my word for it!

i c! interesting!! and good idea! and what do you drive right now>?

why would you use a 3500 at 4ohm? just get a nice 2channel amp. 750 rms isn't to much. and yes i think you will need another battery a small one to prevent your lights from dimming!

bump bump anyone?

i am glad i got mine before you ran out! lol!!

will do, thanks anyways ur logic makes sense but im just makin sure awesome! thanks! well i am off to bed now be sure to post an install thread with a bunch of pics and maybe video! and good luck and feel free to ask question!! just do some reseach before asking the question! some (most) admins will complain to you if you don't and tell you to read the noob posting guide lol!! and above enjoy your stay and learn a lot! i know i have!

here is a cool website i jsut found! read the ground section about a little more then 1/2 way down the page http://www.mmxpress.com/technical/ampinstall.htm then give this quick read about fusing and fires if you don't fuse! http://www.mmxpress.com/technical/fusing.htm second paragraph!! very interesting read lol!! and good comparision on why to use inline fusing! happy reading and enjoy!

i don't know lol!! i jsut hook up the ground up first so the POWER has somewhere to go once you put the power in. but if you have no fuse in there is no power anywyas. as for the little sparks i guess they are coming from ground lol what else is hooked up lol! but i imagine i am so wrong on that and i know someone else will chime in tomrrow morning!! so just hang on for a few hours for a full answer on that!

and yes techinically speaking you should have one more fuse between the batteries BUT if your batteries are super close don't worry about it! and remember we use fuse to be safe! if something were to happen the fuse would pop! and if you didn't have the fuses there the wire could catch on fire and potential burn down your car! which isnt' good!

well here is how I WOULD do it. to be safe! AND i also included rest of the big 3 upgrade! so you don't BLOW the amp simple jsut tkae out of the inline fuse leading to the amp and plug the ground in first! you might get a little spark but don't worry. does this fully answer your question?

UMM i am lost! (See that wasn't hard! llol) so the RD 3250 is your amp! and those other 2 box's before the amp are batteries? i assume? if so you are MISSING a fuse!

that a boy! don't wiat! b/c after pre-sale this price will go up to like... REGULAR price will be $350 MAP / $549 MSRP when in stock!

don't wiat to long! and you can never loose with sundown!! lol!
