we are all going to get ban from here for life for even talking of this but....any word on the price i need something to put 3k on daily

I have 2k on my bl daily BUT I know when too let off and back out of it, you have to be smart if your going to push it. if you want to make a set up that's newb prof then stick with 1400 or less, you could clip a bl pretty hard on 1400 and she will live to see another day

probably at least 200amps Yeah you should just call mech man or another quality establishment and have one built for you, a rewind will fail and wont work for what your trying to do....also dont forget that your car will also need about 70 amps ontop of the system....you will need a GOOD ho alt and a good dry cell low internal resistance 12 or 14 volt batt

what kind of power do you plan on pulling from this alt and for how long do you plan on doing it? if you only need to go from 90 ampd to 130 you can hot wrap or over wind, and if you need a few more culomes of current then you could just get a smaller pulley

their is alot more than just powermaster some of the best would be mech man or DC power engineering... a good ho alt will run you about 400 bucks for a 250 amp unit

I would go with a smaller car/smaller system (Hahhah like 3 or 4 15s...small my ass) , less cost involved with smaller car, less materials. etc. That would give you the ability to to give every square inch of the car the utmost attention to detail.

the 4G from the alt to the fuse box isn't hurting anything so I would leave it, and too many grounds is like too much sex ya cant have to many of them so adding more wont hurt but if the connections are clean and secure you should be ok

I was trying to stay under 1000 total I have a 7 series Samsung flat screen already, I just thru out the Samsung name bc I saw that they have the sound bar and I can hook it up to the optical out on the TV and control it all with one remote and they all match but im open to any ideas you guys have, I would even be down to make my own towers (if people do that)??? Can you still get good imaging with just a center, two nice towers and a sub?

I have 2 T1's in that back of the GFs grand am ive got them on 2 nine.1 they take about 900 all day with np

no im not stuck on just those two items BUT I dont want to have wires and crap all over the room .......

Lynyrd Skynyrd------------Free Bird

What kind of car??? Are those dimensions all the MAX and are they outside dimensions??? looks like space will be tight. you only have 8.5 cubes BEFORE the port and the sub

sounds to me like you have a dead short... that would be the only thing that would pull that much current. Clamp it i know youve got some laying around..... clamp it then plug in the fuse and see what shes pulling.....

I dont know the eff. of this amp but I ran the #'s at 80% @ 13volts bc you proly wont hold perfect 14.4 at this power but.........314 for the amp then the car will need at least 50 so just say 375 amps, I dont think they make single units at that size so your going to need to get 2 alts. Unless you just want to burp this thing then just get 2 group 31 batts and play loud for 10 seconds at a time

Sry I got Ahead of myself....is this RMS or Peak power??? and what type of car? Some newer cars have ECU controlled voltage regulators that may or may be on a delay, depending on current inrush to the source...IF you do have something like this you will need batts to support the amp until the delay timer excites the stator.

To play a system of that size you will need about 275 amps of power if you plan on running this thing continuous. PLUS what the car will need so maybe like 350 amps total (im running these numbers in my head just a estimate) SO a 350 amp alt..... and the amount of batts you run will depend on the amount of reserve time your looking for

What is the average gain you would get from a mid size trunk car???? Like my car....and how do you calc. this out??

Well then I guess I need to get a meter..... has anybody on here tried those meter you can hook up to a DMM and get a read out look it up on the lil chart thing and get a db read out ( don't know the name or make of them)

Mechanical failure is when something physically breaks on the woofer. Like the spiders rip, tinsels break, seals rip, coil former bottoms out and becomes deformed. ect...... im sure someone else will jump in and explain more, beyond my knowledge of the subject

All this VCM does is turn your cars electrical system into a constant voltage variable current system instead of the constant current variable voltage system we all have now

I have two Rockford 2500 bd1 that I want to hook up to this woofer? is it ok to get them dual one ohm and hook up one amp to one of the terminals and the other amp to the other terminal??? Thanks NO unless by some grace of god you can guaranty that both amps will put out the EXACT same amperage and voltage, you need to buy a bigger amp or just use one one of those should be about 3k that would be a good match for that sub

That box is the EXACT size boox that I have for my BL.....weird

Whatever set up you decide on you should do whatever you can to get the most air flowing around your box and back into your cabin.

if ya dont want to give out someones screen names then at least give us the name of that amp??????????

forgot to mention to do the BIG 3 no matter what you pick for an amp
