The problem is your bass desires and the potential output of your setup don't jive together. Nothing is going to make you happy. If you are okay with less bass then carry on, if you want what you tried to achieve it will fail again.

Ok, dual alternators are now installed, deleted the AC and used that spot for the second alternator, I have another alternator bracket on the way, going to put a third to the left of the passenger side alternator, and use that for the 12v side of things. Then run 16v for the two bigger alternators. 20 batteries is the plan as of right now. I also had a metal platform made to make the surface in the truck flush (Back seat area flush to cargo area), so I can build a box, and slide it in, then seal everything off. On to the pics...

I can say without a doubt that zip tying the two together eliminated my problem completely. The ipod itself still goes offline, but that's because it uses a hard drive. I am going to get a foam compartment made for that though.

You've managed to kill the driver three times already by pushing it past it's limits. You need another setup with the same output within it's working limits, sort of like saying this car is fast enough for me, and you're driving it at redline. I highly doubt lowering your enclosure volume to Fi's specs will all of a sudden save the driver, it'll probably have less output than before and you'll end up turning it up more to get the same output and you're right back where you started. Depending on your space you might be able to bump up to a ported enclosure, that'll net you a good amount more output so you won't have to be running the driver at max. A few other points that I'm not sure were mentioned completely, check your vehicle's voltage when playing music and make sure it's not low, if it is then it could screw with the signal from the amp to the driver--I think. I know you're using a sealed enclosure but you might try setting the ssf around 20hz (not sure what you listen to but if it's that dubstep / rap music boosted by people in their garages than that might help control the excursion somewhat). Someone mentioned lowering the LPF to 80hz, that's a good idea and I would even suggest going lower to 50-60hz (try different points and see what sounds best to you).

The 4runner is 1.5 times Evil now.

Another happy client for SSA! Great to hear.

Battery cage for the DIehard platinum to fit under securely, kind of ghetto since I don't have a welder, but nonetheless extremely secure

Front battery busbars I made..

Finished installing my python 5609p remote start & alarm I didn;t get any pics of it all neatly tucked, but trust me it is, lol.

Stripped the shitty side stripes off and dipped the chevy logos

yes sir. there a million topics and none are the same. but the good points i see are "you have 2 grand +/- in electronics... why skimp on less than 100 $ in wire?"

thank you for that bit of information sir. that is another thing that i have never been told. im glad i joined up here. imagine what ill know tomorrow!

The boost busted your sub. Should be OFF. Can't clip the crap out of stuff and expect it to last. Should be no sub that fails under music WITHOUT you hearing it go.

My friend actually superglued his usb drive in lol. But he's doing 63s

just in.. getting ready to wall this monster, my subs will be on the way this week. 6 15" Evils.
