    Did you order an extra set of recones, because you'll probably need them with putting that much power to the ethos

     

    When both coils are wired up.. doubt it smile.png

     

    Quentin stated before if he were to rate these thermally it would be closer to 2500wrms per sub so a ~7k on 5k worth of subs is fine.

     

    And like Jon said, can't beat the price to performance!

     

    The drivers need 1800 watts to reach xmax in their recommended enclosures.  The recommended power ratings I give are what are needed to be operate the sub.  I'll never give a max "safe" power level.  That's kinda like a car manufacturer saying its ok to run your car right below redline all the time. 

     

     

    What was the context of the conversation you mentioned 2,500wrms?   I know i remember you saying that.  Of course variables in an install can alter suggested power ratings rated on a thermal level and you are rating them differently which is fine but i know you mentioned 2500w before in conversation.  Now you got me questioning in what context it was mentioned in.

    Well, it seems it's always something when it comes to my exotic builds..

     

    Now, all 3 companies who manufactured shocks for the newer Gen Scion xB have all been pulled and discontinued without reason!

     

    Talking with a performance retailer, Tokico has went as as far as discontinuing all shocks for all scion vehicles as of 2014 without reason.

     

    I don't know what's going on but something is up..

     

    So, I need a source, sources that I can contact about custom shocks.

     

    I need it as a backup.

     

    I do not know if the current stock shocks are equipped to handle the new coil springs and won't know for some time until installed.

     

    I do not know stock spring rate but current spring rate on new coils is 360.

    What is SCHA cable?

     

    1- when running power cable, each end should be fused.  Front to rear runs for example.

    However some instances are not required in my opinion for typical reasons-

     

    Wire from amp to battery bank if the wire is less than ~3ft long.  

    Wire from alt to battery(up front battery).  The fuse should be close to the battery.  I see no reason to have a fuse close to the alternator. 

     

    2- if you need to use more than 1 fuse to sum the total fusing for your run, you run them in parallel, not series.

    What you described is series wiring.  If you had a 250A fuse at each end of the cable, that's only 250A of fusing.

     

    3- don't fuse at 500A even on 4/0 cable!  Another personal opinion of mine, do not fuse a single cable(even if it were 2000KCMil cable) larger than 300-350A.  

    The time it would take a LARGE fuse to blow, something dangerous would probably already happen preventing the fuse from protecting from fire, etc

     

    On your alt charge cable, fuse per wire, not by the alt itself.

     

    Example-

    Let's say you ran 3 1/0 cables from alt to front battery.

    I'd fuse each of those cables with a 200-250A fuse.

    I dont know.. hopefully good enough that you'd buy one, lol.

     

    I can tell you now what you'd get-

     

    IT does have some scratches here and there on the top and sides.

     

    I do have the remote gain knob and wire for it(never used)

    I believe i even still have the allen wreches as well(never used)

     

    I can do $820 shipped.

     

    See where we go from there.

     

     

    PS- I have recently bench tested the amp to be in working order.

    It was pulled out of my car last April of 2013 when i got my new car now and has been sitting ever since.

     

    I did have 4 of these amps.  2 have been sold and the last two wait to be sold.

    i would advise removing the amp out of your car completely and putting it on a power supply and test it there.

     

    Or just take a single 12v battery that is not connected to anything and hook the amp up to it.

    Run rcas to it from something NOT installed in the car at all and see if you still get noise.

    After speaking with technician, they suggest the following-

     

    They believe that one of the channels is being driven by more input voltage than the other channel.

     

    They want you to troubleshoot eliminating all noise and guaranteeing properly balanced preout voltage before concluding there is something wrong with the output section of the amplifier.  

    They currently do not believe it requires service until the noise issue is completely removed first.

    OK.. HOLY JESUS!

     

    First off, don't ever do that again! lol

     

    10.2v is WAY TOO LOW

     

    Second, if it truly is just stock everything, one way to increase voltage back up, assuming your battery isn't old or damaged, is to run a dedicated 1/0 or larger cable from front batt GROUND to rear to a distribution block as close to amp as possible.

    Run amp's ground to this block.  

    Also, from this block,  run it to car's frame as well.

     

    From alternator to front battery, run 1/0 cable from alt bracket or as close to alt as possible to battery's ground post.

     

    Then finish doing the Big 3.

     

    That should help voltage a bit.

    i seen the word sub in the phrase and threw me off.  sub implied fully assembled speaker and i'm thinking cone at that point.

     

    square voice coil sub could mean single voice coil with square cone.

    or what it really means as you see it, square voice coil.
