because most amps nowadays are non-regulated, that means the amp will make more power with higher voltage... And that's why... The amp has some basic limits- AC voltage output can only go so high before it clips... AC current will output the same as AC voltage if outputting at a real 1 ohm load. The amp will draw what it needs to current-wise to produce a certain amount of power... But nothing changes here, if the actual load is below 1 ohm, current output will be at a dangerous level. Risk frying things from moving too much current inside the amp. So.. from what i'm getting at is- Running a higher DC voltage input at your amp will make it more efficient, but doesn't make it magically stronger over a 14v system. Now, if we were comparing daily driving at 10v vs 16v.. then yea, that's different. However, blabbing about all that.. a good electrical system can run many of today's amps at 0.5ohms. Not saying you will be ok because i don't know how you will monitor your setup.. But sundowns, AQs, Crescendos, DCs, American Bass VFLs- they all are built strong enough to withstand that stress... BUT it depends on how you stress it! Take me for example. I run at 0.5ohms but i do not crank it for more than a few seconds at that level. I don't want the actual load to be pegging at or below 1ohm for any measurable length of time. So.. if you want to wire below the stable load- I only do it for competition and loud demoing. For only daily driving, it's pointless. Wiring low is for numbers. Wiring normal is for enjoyment.

Wow, dash and that trim panel look killer! is this "done" audio wise?

Dash turned out great. Very nice setup, very clean!

Quick test vid of the DVD function.

Little more work done. Getting the HU installed. Grasshoppa getting some instruction from his wife... Awaiting the dash trim. Dash face installed and trimmed out.

If you want them to sound like SERIOUS shit then .

Check out all the new Mechman Alternators and accesssories now on the SSA store.

Dont buy something if your not going to use it for its intended purpose, asking if they will get loud means you shouldnt buy them if thats what your worried about. You buy stuff to meet your goals, not just to be buying it but its your money.

Two 12" Xcons.

2 12's I hear the zcons get really loud and retain sq, also btls would be great. Don't forget IA as well, ppl tend to overlook them.

Agreed. I have multiple runs of 1/0 and it dropped my voltage to 9.4volts wtf. Then I switched and ran a single run of 8 gauge and bam 16.5 volt. Wtf. There has to be something wrong then... (or is this a joke ? because it seems like it)

Nice! Really nice. Loving those numbers in the lower frequencies. Well done Sir. All my favorites too. Blonds, Brunettes, and Redheads. Cheers -

Sorry onebadmonte ... but the king of SSA has spoken ... Try to fight him and recommend something else that will help the op will only damage your reputation points ... Thats why I quit ... Just my suggestion bro ...
