ShiZZZoN's Build Log

Does having anything thicker than 1/0 gauge really gives a noticeable improvement?

Is it worth going 2/0 or 3/0?

Where do you get this thicker power/ground cables?

[shizzzon 461]

it's not noticeable for daily use. If for competition use, then it's likely.

Knukonceptz kolossus cable is like 2/0.

Stinger makes 3/0 but is very expensive.

you can go to weldingsupply.com to get up to 4/0 but you must remember this-

welding cable may oxidize because it isn't tinned and will take several years to occur.

also, the ampacity chart on their site is NOT for electrical use. It's for arc welding so don't assume their wire is the highest rated wire in the world.

Soooo, how was the show? Any pics?

[shizzzon 461]

i didnt take any.. i was too busy watchin movies in my car, lol.

I'll get pics of my build in a week or two... i'm still changin the port around.

[shizzzon 461]

ok, had time today to get the REAL basic meter specs off my new wall i built since i never had time to do it.

I don't have an official meca stand so i gotta do everything in the kick for a consistent reading.

This is with no deadening, no bracing, no precise tuning, CAR OFF and voltage well under 12v pulling ~800A of current off 1 D3100 and 1 D5100 (~175aH)

My headrest to kick score is 2-2.2db difference last time i checked.

Kick score off 320A of fusing- 155.7dB\Head - ~should be at least a 153.0db

Using 3 15s and 3 AQ3500ds

Last score with old wall-

4 15s and 4 AQ3500ds Tuned with car ON at head- 153.4db

:)

Looks like i'm right where i was last time... but with no tuning, deadening, bracing...

I got's me some work to do,

I'll be getting a head score this friday night.

[thebiggmann12 14]

do work! lol thats badass bro.

[mccleery3 166]

Right on bro I'll bet it brought a big smile over your face after the disappointment at Carl Casper.

[shizzzon 461]

yea man, the night before casper, my termlab must have been on crack cuz all the readings it was giving me was literally pissing me off because it made no sense.

[shizzzon 461]

this is JUST for the amps :) each run is gonna be less than 3 ft. I don't think i'll have a voltage problem... not with 100ft of wire

[bigrank916 72]

Are you sure its enough?

[Julian 641]

this thread is 90% talking and 10% actual work

get to it!

[shizzzon 461]

Anybody wanna see what over $4,000 worth of AQ amps look like?

I'm about an hour or so away from installin em into their enclosure so i can secure them to my false floor in my Scion tC.

It's gettin dark so i'll have to take a flash shot of em, hope it turns out good.

I wont have any wires ran to them tonight, i'll do that tomorrow i guess.

[slim2fattycake 85]

Man, with 4k, you know how many of the ********* **3000**s you can get. lol.

[shizzzon 461]

man... u know how many 12v batts u would need!

16v all the way baby! less weight and more power!

[shizzzon 461]

Ok here they are. I already spaced them out after takin this pic. I'll "try" and install them tomorrow but.. 120lbs of amps n mount isn't light to carry by yourself.

[ssh 924]

is that enough space for the heatsinks to dissipate the heat?

[stocks 2]

[shizzzon 461]

no it's not, i'll have to space them out later. Unfortunately, i don't have alot of space to do that either.

I'm only gonna be able to space them every 19/64th of an inch, that's just over 1\4" per amp.

Luckily, i'll be running them at 0.7 ohms now rather than 0.3 ohms...

Even when running them ar 0.3, they didnt get all that hot on music.

I'm running them at 0.7 now so i can gain my efficiency back since my division is based on fusing so i need all the efficiency i can get.

[Life Of Infamy 0]

4k worth of amps DAAAAAAMMNN!!! Beautiful, just beautiful

[shizzzon 461]

this is what happens when your amps don't have line outs and u gotta do everything the old fashion way...

Now, this is what happens when i install them-

The final pic will come soon... just gotta go take it.

[slim2fattycake 85]

You should do the consecutive remote turn on like I said. That would be cool to see one amp come on right after another instead of them all coming on at once. I saw this thing in person and those amps look crazy stacked like that in his hatch lol.

[shizzzon 461]

u may have seen it in person... but not wired up

Here it is wired up-

[slim2fattycake 85]

God, thats ugly lol.

[Kanaworm$ 292]

Looking good!

[shizzzon 461]

i tested at 152.2 then i taped around all subs and all 90degree corners and did a 153.4 biches,heheim still not tuned... but i got the official headrest stand now
