    Im surprised they let you go that fast for your first time in the car. They must of forgot to limit you. When I did this same thing, I had to settle for the nascar becuase my big ass wouldnt fit in the indy car. My top speed was 145

    I really dont know why you need a ton of juice for the set up you have. Im running a DD M3a and C2C and with the car I own, with a 90 amp alt, and a die hard platinum, it doesn't dim the lights at all. I have my amp set to the subs rms rating of the sub and while just playing a test tone at 50 hz, my alt is only putting out 60 amps.

    When you listed all of the equipment in your last thread, you stated "the amplifiers are a Alpine PDX-F6 with two 30amp fuses and a PDX-M12 with four 25amp fuses." I doubt you would even see the current draw being close to the total potential of your amps. So I really think you are going a lil over kill on the power and batteries. Unless you are trying to go into spl comps where you will be clipping the hell out of the amp where it would need a lot more juice.

    Even though you may have set your amps with a DD1, that dont mean that everything you listen to will not clip. Usually when you are clipping, the voltage will drop and hence why your truck is trying to keep up? The only time I even see a drop in voltage is when my amp is clipping hard. I would try to ask your dealership whats up with the alt first before trying to add a ton of batteries you dont need.

    I've been searching on here and the internet about port area. I've seen anywhere from 12"/sqft to 25"/sqft.

    Some say a smaller PAF will act more like a sealed enclosure and tighter sounding with higher power handling. A larger PAF will act more free air with a higher output at lower frequency but will sound loose and lower power handling.

    I thought the box had more effect than port area does.

    Where I'm at now. I have a single v1 sa8 in .63 net tuned at 37hz with 17"/sqft. I'm running a sax1200 at 2ohm gained down to 600wrms (clamped). I like the sound but seems that the output is a little lower than I expected. I really have my eye on the new v2 sa8 and would like to build a box for 2 of them running 1ohm.

    I've been using Winisd and Torres calculator trying a few different designs. Depending on the size of the port and number has a big effect on port area (duh!) but just don't know what range I should be looking for.

    I'm looking for a little more output, but like a punchy sound for rock/metal. I also listen to some dub, so like it to go low as well. Don't listen to rap at all. Not looking to chase any TL numbers or a one note wonder.

    Any other info needed just ask!

    Thanks!

    17 sq ft of port? fuck thats a huge port.
