your amp could be clipping also. you might have the ggain set to high. if you do it will cause the sub to get warm because its clipping.

i cant finde yout topic about this i looked at your topis thing on your profile. What is aux + how do you shut it off? is there a little switch on the side of the case i did not notice 1 when i put it in but i was not looking eather or is it in the menu i have not sean anything like it in the menu? my topics called cda 9886 ipod setting. the aux is in the settings on the radio. find out what cda the radio is. should be on the front of it.

look at my topic about this. u cant have the aux+ on if you want the ipod on. i think thats whats wrong with it.

ive heard an 18" xcon, a 18" fi q, and i have a 18" death row. the xcon sounded way better then the q. my death row i think sounds just as good if not better then the xcon.

on most songs my volts stay in the high 13's. on the songs that it drops it usually goes from mid to high 12's. im gona put another battery in sometime. right now i just have a yellow top in front with the big 3. im using a saz 1500d.

i just ordered my 18" death row! ive been waiting to order it for about a month now. i sold my other sub and it just hasnt been the same without bass lol.

what are the specs on the box it is in right now? What are you gonna put it in? ill have to check the dimensions. im not sure what the depth is but its 20 inches tall and 37 wide. i have a 2000 jimmy.

so ive had my death row in for a couple weeks and it slamssss. its way louder then my bl. its nasty on the lows and highs. i can hear everything rattling in my jimmy. it sounds like everything is about to just fall right off. i have no deadening so it kinda sounds like shit but i like it lol. it pushes a lot of air also.

Great. I know the amps were not clipping cause the controller I used has clipping warning. This was not the case. I think there was a combination of things that caused the failure. The reason I got pissed actually was because if the system was not putting out what I assumed then the problem it self became different. Ok there are not putting out that much....et,etc, well then what the hell did the alt in??..these thoughts were crossing my mind. I think the combination of the stock pulley being on there, idling and cranking it at what ever it is putting out did it. I also did not charge the batteries to full capacity before installing them. I assumed (again) that driving the van without the system being one would charge them in a hurry with a 250 amp alternator. As soon as the new stuff arrives, I'm charging the batteries with an independent charger and then install them. In one forum I asked how many batteries did I need. All suggestions were basically as many as you can. So I guess the two Kinetik 3800 along with the two BATCAP 4000's will be wired into the regular charging system with the 350 Amp alternator. im tellin you man you dont need 6 batteries along with that 350 alt. at most three in the back and 1 under your hood. and probably need even that. youll just put more strain on your alt if you do this. Ok...The van has two batteries to begin with. I Only added the two kinetik 3800's. Lets see what happens with the 350 Amp alt and the smaller pulley. and your talkin about putin the other batteries in also.

beastie! cant wait to hear this.

ive never heard of it before you mentioned it tonight. all i can think of is hyperflex. thats a type of wire from knuconceptz. and when you said daisy chaining i thought you were talking about strapping amps together.

oh well hell. proved me wrong didnt he lol. i just seen daisy chaining and figured he was talking about strappin amps.

Hahaha funny. So you realize I do not know how much I actually need. But your answer makes me feel safe. Thanks. What I meant with playing as loud as I want and for as long is ...being able to play it maybe one song at the really high output and not having to watch ..oh wait...I have been playing at this high level for 45 seconds so I have to stop before I fry the alt. The pulley is straight forward. I wasn't aware that the smaller pulley was changed back to the stock larger one. I have a smaller belt being FedEx'ed right now so Ican use that small pulley. Basically the new kit will have an additional tension-er as well if I choose to run the second alt. Just one last question please. Will one 350 amp Alt be enough or do I absolutely have to run both if I want to be able to play for any extend of time??? This is some good advice guys..Many thanks. if you do as i said and buy a battery charger you shouldnt have any problems.

daisy chaining has to do with amps. the second part you said is right

lol thanks

It is still not helping the ones who speed become better drivers, it helps them be in control while doing wrong (it doesnt make up for there poor driving skils in any way shape or form). "Does this mean the detector makes me a better driver, not directly but I am a better driver while I am using it for its intended purpose." (///M5 said it best, it directly, logically and common sense wise does not make you a better driver period). Now being more attentive or having help on the road helps you out, yes I agree but if your not a good driver from go then that device makes it worse or makes excuses for you until it goes off). Just my .02 thats really wat i was tryin to say. it just makes them more cautious for a period of time. not a better driver but more cautious.

in a way i believe it makes people that like to speed a little better at driving. a person with a detector wont always be speeding because they slow down once it goes off. now a person without one that likes to speed wouldnt slow down. maybe unless they seen a cop.

what you need to do is get a battery charger so your alts dont have to recharge all your batteries. it sounds like thats what happened to your other one. see your alt had to charge all the batteries when playing your system. which led to the alt failing.

lol thanks man

ill have to borrow my girls camera when it gets here for some pics. im buyin one of mdizzle's old boxes for his xcon until i can get money to build my own. ill have a build log then

actually that works out better. since you have a 1 ohm sub you can wire your amp to a 2 ohm load. it says your amp puts out 1700 at 2 ohms.

well its better then ur stock 8 guage so it will help some. but if you can get 0 guage for your amp get some for the big 3 also. you dont need that much.

i thought the q sounded good ported. thats just my opinion though.

well if you dont feel like it can handle it you can just turn the gain down.
