So I'm guessing you all wanted pictures that looked something like this? About to pull an all nighter painting Andrew1 point- Fi q's question
1 pointShit, if you're just comparing to the CVRs, then the SSDs will still do the job better if paired with a right enclosure.1 point- What component speakers?
1 pointyou can narrow your search greatly by finding out what tweeters you like. most tweeters fall into 2 general categories, hard dome and soft dome. im sure youll be able to find some locally to listen to and determine a preference. personally, im a fan on soft dome tweeters. hard domes are too crisp to my ears.1 point- Team Decent Pathfinder build

1 pointThats how we were before a show this weekend.. And how it was at the end.. Then got recovered home..1 point- From ported to sealed
1 pointIt's a total mess ! As you can see, I have wire of all colors : it's ugly but it works so well !!! I really need to do something to clean up my install. But wire is so expensive here. For example : o ga wire is sold at about 17€/m : $20 for 3 feet. What can I do ? I don't want to add a sheet of mdf (too heavy !). I will try something with carpet, maybe !1 point- From ported to sealed

1 pointI used this system to power my sub : it comes from pro audio speakers. Easy to unhook the speakers : it's kind of plug & play, and it only needs a little hole in the box to fit tight. But my main concern is about the wire size : we used electrical cable, but it's small when I look at what people use. So far, I have no problem with it.1 point- From ported to sealed

1 pointTrying to do a 160 at a show, with 2 1500d's and 2 NS18's. My highest posted score at a show was a 158.7. Got home today and there was these at my door. ;D1 point- Road to 160db's!!!
1 point- IA Recommended Enclosure Sizing
1 pointIf you're buying a Warden, chances are... you don't need help on the enclosure.1 point- good tunning 8" 500rms
-1 pointswhat? i'd say 28-30 You'll miss out on the upper frequencies but your front stage should be taking care of that anyway... What nothing. There's nothing SQ about a box that only accentuates frequencies around the tuning point. The OP said he wanted SQ, so a sealed box is where he needs to go.-1 points- power question
-1 pointsIf you use ohms law you can figure the max output of your current system by multiplying your volts by your amps. I've got a 200 amp alt and haven't got anywhere near utilizing all of it and I'm running a sundown saz-2000d. The last time I was clamped I hit around 750 watts. My voltage dropped pretty low- around 11v but was some where around 70 amps. I never push it that hard on daily use. That was taken at about 1200 rpm idle. Aside from that you have to consider running your air conditioner, wipers and headlights for normal usage. I think you will be okay. A second battery will help alot since you've done the big 3. If you find your lights dimming after you get your install done it means you probably should upgrade your alt.-1 points- power question
-1 pointsThen your alt is broke....... :-/ at 11v your alt should be working it ass off. At least mine does, my 240 does around 227 at 12.4v and 1,400rpm. the alternator is only going to put ou what you call it to do so. If you are pulling 227 amps at 12.4 volts your system is putting out 2800 watts. Like I said I was only pulling 750 watts so my alternator only had to put out so much current. My shit isn't broke man- it just means I've got tons of overhead.-1 points- power question

My shit isn't broke man- it just means I've got tons of overhead. I really hope all of these numbers you are posting are based on measurements of the actual voltage, amperage flow, and output of amp/amps that you have taken. And not just you knowing the math behind it and assuming it's all correct. Example 1a: 227amps x 12.4v = 2,814. So, based on your math, my vehicle needs NO power run any of the systems it needs,and also that my amplifier is 100% efficient. Example 1b: You said your amp was putting out "750" watts, based on your math since you were at 11v pulling 70amps, it should be making 770. But then, again, the vehicle has no power to use and the amp would have to be almost 100% efficient. Both of those seem pretty implausible, but I'll go with it. Example 2: "If you use ohms law you can figure the max output of your current system by multiplying your volts by your amps." Really? It's that simple............... P.S. Your alternator will work at "max output" until the unbalance in supply/demand is met. So, your "200" should have been damn close to putting out 200 if your at 11v. And all this was done a 2a.m. Sorry for any mistakes. the cool thing about everything is the numbers don't lie. Your alt isn't ever goin to run at max output unless the max load is called for. If your alt can only put out a max 180 amps and 15 volts then I'll be pucking damned if your amp ever pulls more then 2700 watts. When I say system I mean all current load on your electrical system not just stereo system. That's how you figure your max output. Your not going to get 15v so this max is actually higher. I wouldn't just pull some shit like this out of my ass. Yes- like I said- last time I was clamped. That means I had meters on my shit measuring my numbers. I don't remember the actual numbers for each measurement but if I dig deep it was like 10.98 volts at 66 amps. The actual total wattage was 768. I did 143dB at that time. Whatev In essence I was only utilizing 35% of my Alts rated output. Like I said my shit ain't broke I just have lots of overhead. To op- sorry bro-1 points- Big Will's Build, 4 XCON 18s!
