Got the shipment in yesterday and everything was in good shape. He even threw in a free hat! Sums up another good experience.

Welcome

I just checked my order history. Sorry, they are pretty good, I was thinking caraudiodeals. Did have a problem with a US Amps bass mekanik they sent me, it was missing parts too, didn't really work either.

Shipped fast though? Kind of hard to not include a part of a battery...lol. It's not hard to send a B-stock or used battery Also says something about the "new, never opened product" I agree with Mark, check the XS Power, they really are quality batteries. Otherwise go with some Deka's or Shuriken's for cheap ones.

I have been shipped products with parts/manuals missing. Everything always worked fine, but REALLY sketch.

What did you do?

The worst is when you actually DO try and argue/inform them, and they act as if YOU are the ignorant one. Makes me cringe, that's why I stopped.

I recently purchased my two new Q 18's, and they arrived about a week ago. The UPS guy dropped the boxes and he bolted to the truck. I went outside to bring them in when I noticed a box was severely torn, retaped, and then ripped again. I know this was UPS, since my previous experiences with Fi, as well as the other box, have always yielded nice packing. The subs seemed fine, but I also ordered a T-shirt and banner for my car. The banner fell out of the hole in the box, I am guessing, and the shirt had a hole in it. I contacted Fi about the problem, informing them about the shipping problem, and Scott got back to me the next business day. Without asking any other questions or asking me to go through the problem with UPS, he had already shipped me a brand new shirt and banner!!! He also mentioned to let him know how the install turns out in case something turns out wrong with the sub in the bad box. Fi really knows how to take care of their customers. That's why I have bought from them time and time again. (By the way, I never have had a problem with the shipping, so don't let that influence you negatively) So thanks guys!!!

I have to keep checking in just to see this build, it's so sick

And how would you go about having a second isolated alternator, I'm all ears. And why necessarily keep your electrical "seperate"? Or am I misunderstanding you? OP, what do you need a second alternator for? How many batteries do you have/ plan to have in the future? Also what kind of dual alternator set ups have you looked into, also what brands? You would have the hot from the alternator running to a second battery, running your system, while the stock alternator only has to deal with stock electrical. You would keep them seperate so that if for some reason your second battery is draining, like when you don't have the vehicle running, it could go dead and you would still have the main battery to start your vehicle. Wouldn't have to worry about your system drawing excess current, except for the safety of your equipment. Wouldn't have to deal with lights dimming, you would still have stock electrical with no aditional draw. Oh, so you didn't mean the alternators weren't running on a single belt, I misunderstood you. With two batteries in parallel you are also optimizing the internal pressure of the batteries.

If I ever get around to figuring out how it works, I should have a crude measurement setup. Don't be so modest Maybe those 8's FR is from 50 to 5k using F30s instead of F3s or F10s lol. Seriously though, can you maintain that type of effiency and FR with crazy amounts of HD? I think I have seen some drivers like that, but never recommended to use like about 2k.

How does memphis do at low voltage compared to sundown? Also in efficiency? Out of curiosity, not much experience with memphis.

I was advised to do a double in EE and Computer Engineering, and if possible another in physics since only three more classes are needed for a EE and ECE. Masters in physics or EE couldn't hurt .
