    What diodes?

    In the alternator.

    Oh I thought you meant diodes outside of the alt lol. Yeah just switch it to AC I guess. Make sure you use a clamp meter if it's anywhere over like 500 mA or whatever your DMM is rated for..

    I was told to set it to ac volts and measure at the bat. Which I did and got .05vac

    You measured at the battery? Your alt puts out DC volts not AC.

    Not if a diode is going bad. Alternators put out ac voltage the diodes turn it into dc volts.

    If wired in parallel the load will be 2ohm. Both speakers will see the same power......dependant on install and whether or not your amp is 2ohm stable.......could be a good or bad idea......you will not be able to cross the bass out of the 3.5 without an external crossover of some kind.......

    Thanks for the quick response!!!

    Would have NEVER expected to hear you give a response figure down to 20 in a sealed box!!!!!

    If they will give decent output from the mid-30Hz and up range I will be BEYOND pleased.......

    Given that they will be in a sealed alaignment is the BP option going to be needed??? Or will the lack of "fresh" air defeat the purpose anyway?

    Also,will the drivers be happier in a twin chamber or single chamber box??

    Does anyone know what the F3 for a pair of X 10's sealed in 1cft will be? Will be at 800~900 wrms for the pair.

    I listen to metal-hard rock, with the occasional techno/hiphop just for show off.

    Trying to save some space and these woofers call for some tiny sealed numbers so I think this is the way to go.

    I'm considering building a down fire for 2 D-CON 10's. Will be subs down,port back, box against back seat. Going in a Land Rover. I only cosider this because I do use the cargo area often and want keep the subs out of harms way.

    My question is how much room do I need between the floor and the woofers???? And should I just elevate the box by the end plates or do a 3sided lift leaving only the rear open???? Or is it a bad idea all together????

    Is a daily thumper setup.......just want to keep my investment safe.

    It's going in a '99 Land Rover Discovery. So there will be little to no fab work other than the box. All four doors have comps from the factory. 3way in front. Plan to just leave the 2" at the top of the front doors where it is and dead and put tweets in the existing A-pillar pockets. I'm lucky that the factory 6.5s are in very nice enclosures,not just stuck in the door panels. Those factory mids try to dig down......they just don't have what it takes anymore.

    I have decided to go with 2 sets of Iseries comps and a 10" DCON for drivers. I will be running all off of a SAX 100.4. One set each on channels 1&2 with the sub bridged across 3&4.

    My question is which of the 3 box designs in the download section will be best at this power level(320wrms)?

    It will be for daily use with no intentions of competeing. My music tastes are metal/rock with the occasional hip hop/thecno thrown in for showoff purposes. Thanx for any help/info.
