LaFountain Design has been retained to build the new crescendo site Just about to get started on that.

I have a Nikon D7000. That picture actually isn't very good. I have blown out highlights on the 900.6 I just snapped a single pic in auto. If I would have closed the car doors to shut out some of the daylight and shot in manual mode I would have had a better picture.

wow that pic looks nice. what camera do you use ??

Thanks, Stefan. I have a motto. "Doesn't matter how ugly it is as long as it is effective and you can cover it up." I don't foresee any problems with wrapping.

As always, stellar.

I figured this should be stickied because this will REALLY help all of us get our cabling cheaper.

Current ratings may be different than what you expect and this is because the current ratings are based on a precise voltage drop %. Just because a wire can handle or is rated at a certain current rating doesn't mean that's the best capable for the job! If you have seen current rating of wire higher than what is listed above, that means it will have an even worse voltage drop % at the given length comparison.

Happy Birthday Brad! Your posts are some of the best on SSA!

Love their amps!

the market here is some times flooded with stole things that are not hot......IE some of these mexicans around my way are pretty smart... and if they applied them selfs legaly they could do big things... but its cooler to be a cholo. anyway... they have a spoter in say Chicago there lil cuzin named lefty or something... so he spends his time driving around.. and spotting cars with rims at there house!! he takes a note.. 2 times a year these guys drive up from texas.. spend a week jacking people everynight... then... bring them back to texas and sell the wheels and stereos... where they are not being looked for... and they can sell them with out a " hot warning" so they can get more value. with our a worry of someone bettingf busted and saying i got them from so and so.. he sold them to me........ pretty smart... but its goes even further then that.... they robs cars here! there own friends. car dealer ships what ever.... take them up north and have lefty sell the texas rims and audio up north... where again.. its not being looked for..... pretty smart for some cholos im drunk.. but its a true story.

That's how benni roll, with sparkle cooch.

OK sorry. Pallet cleanser

I need something to pass the time. And I do fuck a tattooed chick every time the wife says I can. .... I mean, when I let her out of the kitchen 'n shit. :-D

Awesome. It'll be nice to have an online catalog vs having to call.

I am down roughly 70 pounds, and my arms are back in the >18" zone. I hope the strength and lung capacity will catch up soon.....

I tried to get a crescendo sponser before DC.

Nothing you can do now, but let it work its way out. Next time you do this, do NOT wash up with hot water. It opens your pores and allows the fibers to embed themselves deeper in your skin. Or use hot wax, that will pull most shit out of your skin. Thanks for this; AWESOME info! Just remember you can not wait a couple days to do this. It must be done fairly quick, I keep hot wax at work for this, metal splinters suck! What sort of wax? Does the hair come too? I'm a fucking monkey.

are you ??? i see you claim to know so much and have advice for everyone else.. how ever foolish it maybe... but have yet to post a single pic of your anything.......... What do you run Chris? I'm interested. What are you doing for your new enclosure Lantz? i haven't decided what to get for subs im looking at FI sp4 & n2 or mayhem or dc but i have a pic of my equipment of course i ment inside your own topic, or build log, but thanks for posting.. looks like you have some decent equitment... but also a barrage of audio control items that dont normally fit so well togather.. make your own topic, i would love to hear your plans of an install.

you would run 2 4/0 power from 400a alt to d3400. Each of these would be fused with 300-350A fuse. You would then run 2 4/0 power from D3400 to buss bars, fuse within 18" of it leaving D3400 and 18" before hitting buss bars. Each of these 2 runs are also fused 300-350A per. You can technically fuse with a 400A fuse per wire as suggested but i am real critical about safety and feel leary about a fuse that large in a vehicle. You need NOT run power cable from alt to buss bars AND D3400 to buss bars like u stated earlier... That's redundant.

i have own both 12" alpine type R & 12" idmax in both sealed & ported boxes type R is a "all-rounder" subs that can play both low & high bass well depending on the enclosure & how u set ur lpf & ssf the idmax will murder the type R in every way meaning both sq & output idmax : if u want it loud , it loves a large ported box (between 2.5-2.75cut) tuned high 20s to low 30z & a clean true 1000wrms is perfect for it idmax also sounds great in a sealed box if u want it that way for a SQ applications but output is alot lower sealed hope that helps

You got a free upgrade..happy christmas. Those are flatwind coils

Apparently, the bigger the cock, the bigger the cock. . . And the smaller the brain.

Thanks for posting this. Some guys obviously do not understand that this is not a 1/0 vs 1/0 thread.

Take it easy guys ! Bigjon : I love the animated "the end" you posted ! Who is this 323guy ? He seems to be new around here but acts like he's....I stop it !

Well, it looks like you've run out of excuses. Lol. You're on your way to quite a build, I'm looking forward to some more progress.

More equipment, same progress...

HDC's are Chinese made... so basically they produce the sub for... 30-40$ a piece and sell them for how much? The BTL's are machined here with materials sourced from here (granted not all but nearly) and sell them for nearly the same price. Also If you've seen the inside of the motor the "cooling" vents look like they were drilled by a drunk 5 year old.

A couple helpful fellas on another forum pionted out that my port opening was too close to the bottom wall I had 3" of clearance. So, to my dismay I took the enclosure apart and squeezed another 1" of clearance for a total of 4". Not too sure it will help any but hopefully it is good enough for my goals. After more research and better judgement, I decided that an aero end was necessary on both ends of the port. Test fitting the flared aero on the rear deck. After literally hours of test fitting, trimming and test fitting, I finally have the rear deck cover modded for the port. I will be making a trim piece out of floral foam and carpet to make it look better. I received my alt back from Excessive Amperage. For no charge he modified the alt for an external regulator and supplied the regulator! Got my DD M3a
