DSS Tridents and Twisted Sounds S-10. Road to 166dBs

[stevemead08 752]

I'd say I'm actually about 8-10k right now.

Having issues making power.

Something is fuct up. I'll know more soon.

[stevemead08 752]

Lots of work being done.

Deadening, tape, tuning.

Hope to have some results coming soon.

[stevemead08 752]

Some new test equipment has arrived. Now to track down this amp issue.

[daviddto 90]

Fun new toys, hopefully you find the issue. See you at heatwave either way?

[stevemead08 752]

Well I totally re did my cap bank and amp wiring hope I never have to to that again.

Also going to try a different ohm load on the subs. Quentin should have the parts out when he has some available time.

[stevemead08 752]

The final layout... For today anyway. As I stated, the entire bank is reconfigured. Hoping it's more efficient for the amps to pull from.

Turned the amps to work better with the new configuration and hid most of the wires this way.

Looks Clean brother. Can't wait to see it on a meter in person.

Ironically no, but sound deadener is.

And for me, above the window line either.

Covering up the vents I've gained a few tenths.

Well it's illegal anyhow. For Usaci anyway.

Lol.

I've seen judges take a vehicle apart to make sure it is up to specs (so to speak) if there is a discrepancy.

many years ago, but it has been done.

Vooliah! Few tenths...

Been busting ass on this truck doing testing and trying new things.

I have my first show since Oct. 2012 coming up this weekend. Going to attempt a few WR runs. Most importantly I get to see my good Homie BigJon. It's been a while!

Had to put a little cover on the bed to protect the goodies from getting wet if it rains.

[Julian 641]

Looks great man.

[jcarter1885 994]

I need to start getting out to shows just to mingle, have fun. I love that little truck

[Sencheezy 689]

That looks awesome. 

[stevemead08 752]

Thanks for the comments fellas.

[edouble101 314]

Nice to see this project hitting the goals you set. Like your previous SPL build this is gong to be a fun ride to see where this goes.

[stevemead08 752]

I still feel like there is more potential.

Suppose o should post my best so far before more changes are made. Little higher than I led on in previous posts.

Ethos doing work!

Clamping 4400 clean, or almost clean watts to each sub, no sweat.

[daviddto 90]

Doing work for sure Steve!

Are you still having issues with the B2s making power? Ive really been looking at switching to the zero.7's but if they don't do as well as expected, it might not be worth it.

7200w clamped from a 3k amp....

Oh okay haha, I was thinking you said you were having troubles with them. Thanks for the info.

[stevemead08 752]

B2 amps are finicky and require a vary very low input voltage. Tbat problem is solved. It kept going into protect.
