    Dual alternator kit requests...

    This is being built now.. I'd say after on vehicle testing, will be available in 3 weeks tops.. We're setting this up to run either a pair of our 320HP's, or a stock sm case and one 320HP.. Im not sure *yet* if we can run one lg case, and one sm case, but I doubt it on the S10.. Just FYI though, 2 of our 320's will do about 270 or so at idle which is realistically the limit of what the engine will actually turn at idle.. unless i missed it i guess we're still all waiting for one of these dual alt brackets. I have one large case Gm alt already and would want one of yours to go with a dual alt kit.

    AQ20

    I've seen results on **** that rising to .9ohms and at 12.6 volts IIRC it did 12k+ And also you said that OFC can handel 250-300 amps at 10ft... WTF are you doing to have runs that are 10ft to your amps? No one should use runs that long. i would say 5 ft tops. the shorter the wire the less resistence and more current carrying possibilites. Its rated at 8k because their load couldn't handel more power.

    Extremely Disappointed

    Thank you for coming in here Nick. You said exactly what was going to. The coil moving within the gap and having forced and compressed air constantly moving around it is what cools the coil. When you "clip" and the coil stops(you cant visually see it but watch it on a scope) the heat builds up exponentially due to no air movement. Granted yes there is air in the gap surrounding the coil but its not pressurized and in motion. The air being compressed is colder (dont believe me fill a compressor with air and about 30PSI and open the release vavle and feel the air temp) then the ambient non-compressed air. So yes "clipping" does kill the sub due to heat

    Yet another q vs bl

    If you want Q's id suggest the Q's the SSD's i've played with has some trouble playing the lows and making them feel like they are in your face. The BL's will have more motor force have higher SPL but i haven't played with them i dno how the lows are on them

    What should I expect from a btl n2 12

    the SQ is great on every BTL and Mayhem i've heard thus far it will sound great and get loud at the same time now i hope you have the electrical to power the amp for this sub. Upgraded Alt, Big 3 and a couple good size AGM batteries

    BtL N2 Motor Thoughts

    O hell yea thanks man! 18" please

    First SQ setup

    i would make pods in the stock door locations to make them sealed up which will help the midbass come in. I would try to go active over using another processor thats just one more thing to mess up look into the pioneer or eclipse they're great units are with the abilities of those units it'll beat out a processor or you could get the AQ4x90 instead and use its bandpass crossovers to setup your midbass. and then the other channel for your tweeters remember you dont have to turn the gain all the way on the tweeter side but i've played with the AA carbons and they'll take the power and they are VERY clear

    Fi BTL N1 or BTL N2

    alot of the setup comes from the enclosure and from how similar the N2 is to the Gen 2 BTL the SQ is great i loved the performance of all the BTL's i've heard just set it up properly

    BTL-N2 pics

    If you do own an engineering company AND possess the know-how to contribute in your company I would consider you in extreme minority nowadays. It's all about opening a company then putting your feet up and letting the cash roll in right? It's a shame really, nobody has passion for their work anymore. Now about that paper bag problem I think we should wire up a BtL with ninja stars on the dustcap and burp our way out lol thats the great thing about Fi/AA they do know how to do it all and they do it in house! Customer for life right here
