My Trunk Is Louder Than...

[trevorb9 2]

Hi,

This will be the first build log I have ever made. Been on the forum for years and have gathered a lot of my knowledge and expertise from this forum. I have been working on audio system for about 4 years now, and have had many different setups in my Saturn with each just getting louder and better. It has been a journey.

This is my current system and my latest build i may also throw some build pics in from my last system.

ENJOY AND COMMENT!

Nice and braced!

I love this Setup it is a great daily system... I could not be any happier with the BTL N2, It is AMAZING!

Awesome Pics !!!! Very nice setup !!!

[sefugi 166]

[onebadmonte 235]

Looks good. Nice sub. I want one.

[Dictator 39]

Running that amp at 4ohms any reason why not 1ohm?

[jcarter1885 995]

Im so jelly, I miss my Saturn Ion trunk (you could fit a 5ft^3 box in those things without a problem). Looking real good.

Thanks , It has been a journey to make it here!

Don't have the electrical.

I need another XS battery and a H/O alt.

I drop into the low 12's with ac running and system blasting at idle..

Yeah I love my Saturn they get loud and the sounds stays in the car pretty well with it sealed up..

That is pretty close to what I built only .5 cubes difference.

Thank you..

How did you add so much to ur sig?

[jcarter1885 995]

I think the amount of room in the signature is controlled by post count but I may be wrong. Yeah it sounded nice with any system I had.

[shizzzon 461]

it's sad that the vehicle with all those kinetik batts is only seeing about half of those batts worth of performance the way he has it wired...

looks sick though

[shizzzon 461]

yes.. any quantity amount looks crazy.

If someone could tell me exactly how many batts and bass amps he has, perhaps i could make a good suggestion.

But, if it's only what i see, 8 bass amps and 7 batts.. that's not really ideal.

I see. That would make sense though. I need to post more then.

Same here. Poly-carbonate panels don't resonate to badly, unlike metal...

How is that?

Garys truck, is stupid loud n LOW, At 16 hz his dash flexed like an inch!!!

IF you have not gotten a demo yet.. your missing out!

[shizzzon 461]

i never made reference to how loud it is. I stated the way the batteries are wired, the owner is not getting the full use out of his batteries and his performance is probably about half the batteries i see if wired properly.

If you do not know his quanity of equipment i asked earlier, then i can't make a suggestion.

I understand that. I thought i should state how loud it was, because that who i am.

How would you wire them?

I am not sure how many amps he has.

[shizzzon 461]

That's the thing.. I do not know how many batteries he actually has as i have stated earlier and also earlier if he has only 7.. then i can't make a good suggestion.

We must find his build log then!

[shizzzon 461]

lol.

If he has 1 batt for every amp or an amount fo batteries that is divisible by the amount of bass amps he is using.

IE-

8 amps and 8 batts.

8 amps and 24 batts (3 per amp).. etc...

Even distribution and proper wiring of each amp is crucial.

Wiring in a straight bar on down results in every battery that is further away from the amp's power line discharges LESS current and will continue to.

Now, i'm assuming in the pic that he has power line(s) coming from both ends of the bank.

That would indicate, if i'm seeing that properly that half the amps are on the left, other half on the right...

IF he really only has 7 batts.. that is probably his best bet to a degree...

If he access to some BIG ASS chunk of aluminum bar, i could suggest something else but too troublesome since everything is working.

I'm real picky about performance and safety and getting the most out of equipment.

He does have runs of wire on both ends of the copper bar.. It does lose current but probably nothing that serious..

He probably has some batts under everything too.

I can defiantly see that.

I feel you on that one, i want to get everything out of my equipment in the safest fashion.
