    Crescendo Logic AGM Batteries

    Whats the amp hr on these cresendo batts? and has anybody seen these http://www.vmaxchargetank.com/ they're priced pretty good on ebay
  2. since I cant find a tripple alt bracket for my 01' Tahoe 5.3L other than the DC Power's bracket. Would that be able to be used with my stock alt and two Mechman G series 240 alts?
  3. trying to make a couple buss bars for a battery rack and wanted some ideas on what kind of material to use. I stay not too far from a home improvement store and was looking to buy a few flat metal bars. In no way shape or form am I giving my first born for copper lol. I wanted to know would aluminum get too hot? They'll be about 30-36" long x 2" wide x 1/8" thick and I will have about 600amps of current going through them. Or should I use plain steel or steel with zinc plating?
  4. also found a pretty good site that has some nice bars http://www.onlinemetals.com/index.cfm. Also I have another question. Do u suggest I run full grounds from front to back or could I make short grounds from the bars to the chassis in the rear?
  5. thanks guys. I think I did see some 1/2" thick bars in Lowes this past weekend. Pretty cheap too. Thanks again

    Crescendo Logic AGM Batteries

    sooo im guessing there isnt a chance of a group buy offer anytime soon or ever?
  7. Does mechman make a dual alt kit for a 2001 Tahoe 5.3L? What are my options?
  8. Ive used glass and even bedliner on the outside before but it was mearly cosmetic and sealant purposes. But just using dynomat isnt going to benefit u. I think u mean dynomat spray. I have heard that spraying the inside helps but I dont know how true it is. Glassing the inside smoothens air transfer and adds strength

    External Ports

    appreciate that

    External Ports

    if u have a regular internal port that needs to be say for example 20" long to get a 30hz fq.....would it still need the same 20" length if it was external to get the same 30Hz tuning? I know internal volume would be more considering less displacement

    If we made an SAZ-4500D...

    What happened to the 5K idea....wasnt the pre sale on that $950?
  12. Whats ur opinions on this scenario? Considering enclosure volume is pretty close, power recommendations are about the same. Price is similar....whats ur opinions?

    Xcon vs Loaded BL

    just something I was messing around with a while ago
  14. SKEEMASK

    Xcon vs Loaded BL

    cool. It would be more along 2.64ft3 after bracing, and sub/port displacement tuned @ 32Hz

    Xcon vs Loaded BL

    how do u think 4-Icon 12s would do on a 5K with about 2.5ft3 per sub?
  16. SKEEMASK

    Xcon vs Loaded BL

    yea I see. Ive been getting some attention from Atomic wanting me to run their subs but IDK. Ive been noticing u guys doing ya thing here in the last few yrs. Im looking more @ ur stuff now that Ive seen the Blazer setups. very impressive with just a 3K (not that 3K isnt alot of watts)

    Xcon vs Loaded BL

    Im basically looking for something with decent cone area and that can handle my Atomic. Im taking the back seats out my T-bird and building something that will go in place of the back seat. It will be level with the rear deck and extend out to about 4-6" from the headrests and from seat belt to seat belt. If I went with 3-15s.....it would have to be subs up port forward. If I went with something like 4 or 5-12s....I can do subs up and port up. Strictly music.....I wanna be able to listen to my music very loud, with pretty reasonalbe sq and still hit the lanes if I wanted too (basically a Ground Pound). Just to let u know Im not a noob to the audio scene...Im just basically soaking up as much info on these particular subs as possible

    Xcon vs Loaded BL

    what about the Icon.....whats it geared towards and what kinda power handling and tuning?
  19. SKEEMASK

    Xcon vs Loaded BL

    dude.....thats not saying anything. Explain why, thats the whole purpose of this thread.
  20. SKEEMASK

    Xcon vs Loaded BL

    15s Im comparing the two drivers cause Im looking to do a 3-15 setup in the near future off my Atomic 5K. I can do 3 dual1ohm subs and run the amp just under 0.7ohm around 0.67....yes I know imp will be higher. Im designing a enclosure that comes up to 240sq" of port tuned to 31Hz and 14.1ft3 after bracing and port/sub displacements. Thats about 4.7ft3 and 80sq" of port per 15

    XCON DUSTCAP OPTIONS

    any pics of the different caps?

    power for a saz3500?

    im going to be running the same amps as you. i have a 250 amp mechman alt, one D1200 as the starter since it was the biggest i can fit under my hood, and i have a D3100 as the second battery. if you can fit the D3100 as the main use it, but if you cant get the biggest powermaster XS you can fit under the hood and use the D3100 as the second that right there should be pretty decent for that amp. If XS battereies are a lil too rich for u then Id go with a medium sized deka under the hood and 2-larger Dekas in the rear
  23. so whats the real deal. would they be able to handle 2500rms daily tuned low?

    Help me pick drivers for a 3 way front stage

    I went with the Mach5 MLI-65 for midbass, the Dayton RS-120 4" midrange and some Kenwood tweets. That Mach5 is a beast. Its rated @ 100rms but if its gonna be used as a dedicaded midbass from 80hz up then u can give it well over 100watts. I tried the Dayton out before and it was seriously loud in many different directions u angle. Its rated @ 30 watts but it has a low sensitivity rating so Ull want to run about 50-80rms to it. But that again can achieved depending on what its used for. when u read reviews u gotta look at what they were trying to do with it. I saw a review on that particular 4" 1 time before that wasnt so nice. But the thing about it was the guy was trying to use it as a mid bass and not a midrange. He was pumping midbass freqs into it and expecting it to perform. If its used in what it was intended for then u cant beat it for $24 bucks.

    FACING THE PORT

    Still doing my Thunderbird blowthrough build with the 2-12"BTLs but Im already looking ahead of what I can upgrade to. I know what I wanna do (no Im not telling). Soooooo I want some opinions on a enclosure I thought up. The question is really about the direction of the port. The box will be a half L and half T shape.....(removing rear seats) part of it would be in the trunk but most of the box is in the cabin. so the subs would be facing up with the port forward. reason why I want the subs up is so I can use some plexi. It'll be just above shoulder level. Leveled with the rear deck. This is what Ive drawn up. Do u think the port will be fine facing forward? note this is probably gonna be the only way I can get the port in and still use the glass window.
