    do you think you have to put a battery in the trunk as well?

    what door speakers are you going to be running to keep up with it? What amp would you use?

    I am curious to see how your electrical system will hold up. I am planning on getting an optima yellow top and also a kinetik hc 1400 for the rear to make sure everything is recieving proper voltage.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Of course to put that in perspective if you turned the gains down to 3000w you wouldn't be able to hear the difference between them set at 4500w or 3000w.

    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.

    Advice on what, you already bought more alt than you need.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Your the 2nd person that I heard said that the Q doesnt work well in ported enclosures which is different from what i've heard. Have you tested in both enclosures? The Z15 and Q are rated at the same rms power, is the Z15 more musically or produces more SPL? shrug.gif Why does Z15 > Q? shrug.gif

    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.
