If you were anyone else, Id probably give some smart ass response to this. If you wanna get louder, do it. You got the space.

If you haven't heard this speach you should.

I used to be on **** but a guy at school told me to get off that and get on SSA so then i signed up and fell in love

Nice score buddy Get some chicks for hairtricks next time.

Semi-finished product. Im going by walmart to get carpet on the way home.

Thanks Aaron! And of course I wont! Box guts...

You step up to a 3" coil on the Icon and to a 1000 watt rms rated sub woofer. I have a DCON 10" and absolutely love it. Cannot beat it's price for the quality you get

Its gonna be the yellow wire, which is just a constant + going to your alt so when you cut it dont let it touch anything.. the diode should be 'forward', so since the alt is what is reading the voltage you want it facing the alt. A better idea looking at the diagram again would be to wrap two diodes in opposite directions and do it that way. The opposite facing diode would protect the alt if any current was to try to flow back into the alt.

Holy crap I see my sundown wallpaper on your HU! And the other day I saw it in someones sig on another forum. I never realized how much people liked the wallpaper, maybe I should make more!

You weren't given excuses, just the facts. If you choose to think they were excuses, so be it.. You cant get mad at not being able to get ahold of me when I've called you more times I can count in the last few months to give you updates, it works both ways Randy.. As for the return labels, check your junk box.. If you dont have them already, that's probably where they ended up... I know they were sent though.. If you dont have them tomorrow, call Kyle and ask him to send them again.. As soon as we get them back I will send you a check and you have my apologies for such a bad experience..

I hope so... I've spent plenty of $ with them to at least get a recone and some epoxy out of it.... Don't see why you'd expect a company to fix your screw up just because you've spent "plenty of $ " with them. If you cooked the coil, you cooked the coil. And that coil is cooked, whether you did it intentionally or unintentionally. Admittedly running the amplifier at low voltage doesn't help your case either. Fi might help you out, I wouldn't be surprised if they did just to be nice. But acting like you deserve it or something is owed to you is a jackass way of going about it. They don't owe you shit. EDIT: Didn't see Nick's reply before I posted.

I hope so... I've spent plenty of $$ with them to at least get a recone and some epoxy out of it.... I really don't care what the thing looks like as long as it performs well.... and I am not impressed in the performance department, especially compared to the gen2... But who knows, the numbers may blow my socks off.... I am over a 150 already with plenty of room to grow wattage wise and box efficiency wise. SPL isn't what I'm doubting, the quality of the sound is what I'm not impressed with.... compared to the gen2.

I never did like the look of those new N2's...

The amp is rated at 3000 watts at 1 ohm at 14.4 volts Since I haven't gotten my electrical problems fixed my voltage is dipping down far below this... therefore these subs weren't seeing any higher wattage than their rms.

of course there is!

lol. yeah a girl cant tell if its 3 or 4 inches to the pussy so..........

But you can't even get this handled so why would I trust any amount of my money with you? How's this, I need a large alt for my van, send me one, I will verify it works properly has proper output and it durable. Then I will send you the money, would you do that? Why shouldn't you? We have thousands of happy customers, why shouldn't you be one of them? Not trying to be crass, but there has never, ever been any question about what our alternators are capable.. If you want the best, we have it.. If you want something big, we have that too.. Durable, last time I checked our return rate was hovering around .05% (5/1000) which is unheard of for even stock alternators. If you want an alternator, call us, order it and ask that we don't charge until we ship. Pretty simple.. But you can't even get this handled so why would I trust any amount of my money with you? It sounds to me like this was an intricate one-off piece that DC Power wanted to ensure would be perfect for the customer the first time it was installed by the customer, so it would make sense that it takes some time and reworking to get it perfect. It's a shame to see the consistent fail in DC's suppliers and outside shops and, while that is out of their control, I think damage control could have been done sooner by apologizing for their inability to fill the order due to these shortcomings in their third-party affiliates. The fact that DC kept the customer believing the order would be filled in a timely manner is really what made a bad situation a horrible one. Pretty much you hit that on the head.. Yes, we took our time on this because something this specialized cant be the only thing you work on, so it has to be worked on at certain times.. All in all, between waiting on outside parties, there was probably 2 months time lost in here once we started working in earnest on it.. Other than parts that disappeared and the 16v issue, this was probably the single best engineered bracket I ever did. And when I get it back, I'm going to frame the MF'r and put it on my wall in my office! In a nutshell, trying to do something no sane human would try to do in the first place usually ends up being problematic, and this one ended very disasterously for us, lesson learned, trust me..

Personally, I always judge a company on how they react when something goes wrong. The way DC Power handled this insured that they will never see my business.

Ironic statement You act as though DC was sending the customer an off-the-shelf production product that should be readily available. It's clear that this wasn't the case, but the OP was quite vague in all of his responses to try and hide this fact and taint the reputation of the company. Was it an excessive wait? Yes, absolutely, there's no doubting this. Was it a product that no other company would dare undertake? I assume yes, or the OP would have demanded a refund a year ago and taken his work elsewhere. Should this incident dissuade you from doing business with DC Power? I would say no, so long as you're not doing a one-off custom. It sounds as though they are/were understaffed and under-equipped to handle such a product themselves (though I believe I read they are looking to get the tools necessary to do this in house?). Having been around when they first joined the boards, I can say for sure that they would not have been invited to SSA had they not a stellar reputation and customer service. This is a sad incident but I believe Rob and Kyle have learned a huge business lesson from this and I don't think you'll see this issue again.

Your right this was not an off the shelf product.. But lets shed some light on this.....the bracket I got fits a 1998 Chevy truck not a 1994...so on a 1998 Chevy truck there has been multiple alternators done several times"Steve Meade-Johnathon Price just to name a couple" I admit they have 4 alternators I ordered 5...But on the same engine as mine there have been setups with 6 alternators done.So the plan was to redo the front of the engine by putting a bracket off of a 1998 Chevy truck onto mine. Which means i would need a new power steering pump bracket and would personally have to have custom power steering lines made along with a remote reservoir to be able to access the power steering fluid. So yes its custom. but over 2 years to get my product and they ship alternators that are 12 volts not 18 volts that i ordered. and no Chevy bracket or pump and then the Thread I made" this one" was removed from the site.So DC Power had no intention in full filling my order they just sent me some shit in a box in hopes that would quiet me up. And Rob if I called Apple and ordered a Mac Book I would not take two years to get and I would at least get every thing I ordered so at this point I have no intentions in sending anything back with out my money.And as far as revenue you lost because of this..this is a problem you created you said it could be done and could not deliver so instead of admitting it and moving on you not me drug this Shit out over two years so you have no one to blame but yourself and your actions for this as i know there are more than one machine shop in California..you should of manned up and refunded my money over a year ago when I asked....and yes I asked for my money back and every time you told me it was almost finished and would be shipping within the week. I ordered these alternators from DC Power when they were on Steve Meade Designs. and their customer service seemed to be top notch. They were giving free alternators to customers of other company's and helping them out. i don't like starting shit but I also don't like it when some one lies to me and sends me shit that they cannot get to work.. And I like how you said : "Pretty much you hit that on the head.. Yes, we took our time on this because something this specialized cant be the only thing you work on, so it has to be worked on at certain times.. All in all, between waiting on outside parties, there was probably 2 months time lost in here once we started working in earnest on it..

In a nutshell, trying to do something no sane human would try to do in the first place usually ends up being problematic, and this one ended very disasterously for us, lesson learned, trust me.." Hell Iraggi took your bracket of 4 alternators off of Johnathon Price's truck and built a bracket for 6 alts in a month not 2 years...so I don't know how it has not been done yet...Some one one upped me while your still pucking around. So in a nut shell if you don't want to send my money back Ii will take care of the problem the only way Ii know how.as I know the statute of limitations in California is 3 years.

Yeah, well they're shipping today so consider the saga over and done with.... Me calling you a thief.....What do you call it when i send you money and you don't send everything i payed for. and what you did ship me is useless it's not 18 volts and cannot be made to got o 18 volts. and here where you said you were done... so how was the correct items going to be shipped if you said you were over and done with......

Not really, smoother airflow = good

You essentially called me a thief, so Fuck you Randy is all I have to say to that.. Your labels went out today, you don't want to send them back, then do what you gotta do.. ***for the record, nobody has done a 3/4/5/6 alternator setup on that engine for that setup, it's not possible to do it with the way everything is mounted to the engine on the stock front end accessory drive.. If it was as easy as you seem to think it is, it would have already been done.. You don't believe me, you go right ahead and do it yourself without changing the entire FEAD to the '96-'00 Vortec. Dominick didn't one up us by doing 6 alts, he had the one luxury we didn't have, he had the GD vehicle.. It's pretty easy to do things when you actually have a vehicle sitting in front of you, it's kind of hard when it's several thousand miles away.. Had we actually had that luxury, I promise it wouldn't have lingered, same goes for your instance...**
