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

Recommended Posts

Why are you wiring 7 of them in series?   Is that what they normally do for car audio?  I figured you would just do sets of 6...  Not sure how good that 2.5V rating is I guess...

I'm trying to achieve 17.5v. I'll lose some capacity but with the number of banks I have, i'd rather have the higher voltage.

Yeah I figured that is why, you think you'll be above 15V charging?

I'll be externally regulated alts charging at 18v.

Maxwell claims 10% over-charging is the limit. So really I could charge each bank to 19v with somewhat safe conditions. I only to push it to 18v.

Oh yeah, you need 7 of them then...  I thought maybe you were running a regular charging voltage.  Good call.

This will be an extremely competitive class. At the same time, it's all new rules and power restrictions. Nobody really knows what the scores will be. I'll be looking to use all available power to win at finals.

Can you paint over it once it is completely dried and cured ???

I'm considering doing this (or something similar) to the lower rocker pannels on my truck ... then repainting to match ...

Any opinions on color? I wanted to wrap it but now I think I just want to do a cheaper rattle can job. Something satin. Nothing glossy.

Just not sure what color.

I've looked at the 4.3 in depth. I would remake the whole braket. It would be pretty nutty, but thats the only way i see it being done. I dont really see where an add on braket could be placed. Lemme look some more. :)
