I just turned it up to where I thought was proper.I dont have anything to set it with really.I thought since I wasn't clipping according to my bass knob I was fine.

Hey all.I got my system installed and have been bumping for about a week.Havent had any promblems at all except for when I play higher notes.When I play the higher notes I can smell my subs a little bit.I noticed this like the day I installed them so I have been staying away from songs with the higher notes because I really don't want to ruin my new subs.I have my gain set slightly less than half way and that is really all I have touched on my amp.I have a DC 5k amp and 4 10" DC lvl 3's with lvl 4 upgrades.My enclosure is tuned to 33hz and I have 2 100ah batts as reserve with a 250amp Singer alternator.I have a clipping indicator on my bass knob and I always make sure it never lights up and it doesn't,even on the high notes.So im a little confused.I can play the lower notes all day and have no problems.Even the real low notes.Im not sure exactly what hz the note is that does it I just know that I have never had this problem before and it sucks becasue I can't listen to half my songs.So what should I do?Do I need to set something on my amp or head unit or what?I have a Kenwood KDC x994. If you guys need for info on my setup please let me know becasue I want to get this solved ASAP.Thanks HawkEye

Just got a phone call from the guy who I bought the batteries from and he is sending another battery out tomorrow.Very cool guy.Thanks for all the help guys.

Yes I contacted him as soon as I got it.I havent heard back from him yet though.

Just got an email back from support and they said I should not use it. This really sucks.I bought 3 from the guy and I got 2 today and one is not usable.I have no clue where the 3rd one is either.GRRRRRRRRRRR Teach me to buy used batteries lol

its a AGM battery is all I know and its made by alliance parts, part number A06-30097-011 or AE8A31 Also I didnt buy from a company I got it from a guy on another forum. so did you google this? and if so what did you learn about this battery? sealed or not ? point being that is the OP job to do and let us know, isn't there rules on this forum called noob posting guild, and don't those say something like do research and then ask based on what you find? All the info I have posted came strait off the battery labels I read.It says on the label sealed lead acid battery.Here is a picture of it.

I posted everything i knew about the battery above. Also i just looked over the battery and it does say sealed lead acid battery on it.

Yes that is a pic of the top of the battery and it is indeed cracked.The crack is right below the negitive terminal post.I took the nut of the terminal so I could get a better pic. Also,thank you for the link Cablguy184.I emailed customer support about it.

its a AGM battery is all I know and its made by alliance parts, part number A06-30097-011 or AE8A31 Also I didnt buy from a company I got it from a guy on another forum.

Well I plan on using it inside my car along with another one of the same thing.Can anyone give me any more input on if I should or shouldnt use it?

Hey all.I just got this battery today and I opened the box and found this.Its cracked right by the negitive terminal!!! So my question is can I still use it?Its soposed to me a deka 9a31.Help me please!!!

Hey all qick update. I got everything I need except wire at the moment. I bought 3 9a31 batteries and the should be here soon. Ive been doing a little thinking and what if I did 1 run of 4/0 guage wire for the + and - ? Would that work ok or should I just do the 4 runs of 1/0 guage? Also, why exactly do I need to run negitive wire from the front battery to the back? Could i not hust do a couple of grounds in the back so I wouldnt have to run all the wire?

OK cool.You mentioned that they looked similar to the deka's and I have also read on a couple other places that they are basically rebadged deka intimadators so that is why I am thinking of buying them

Hey all.Been looking at some batteries I could get locally and was wondering if 3 of these batteries would work for me. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/SSB0/AGM31DT.oap?ck=Search_N0056_SSB_-1_4061&mn=Super+Start&mc=SSB&pt=N0056&ppt=C1980 They are 105ah each so I assume that 3 would work but want some more info and opions on them.Thanks and let me know.

Check it out!!!Got my subs and enclosure today Now just waiting till The 1st so I can buy batteries and wire.Getting Close to install time!!!!! Top Shot Side Shot And Look At That Booty!!! The Enclosre

Is that d3100 still for sale?

Do you guys get the ultraflex wire or just the regular wire?Is the regular wire still pretty flexable?

Well I need 4 runs of about 12ft each.Let me konw if you have any and ill buy it from you most likely.

Ok. Where can i go to get some? Isn't it like weldingsupply.com or something?

Thanks to rabbit for the awesome looking enclosure!My subs shipped out yesterday and will be here friday so im stoked to get both!! As far as batts im probaly going to get a pair of d3100's and see how it goes with those.Im thinking of getting tsunami 1/0 wiring becasue i have used it before and really liked it.What do you guys think I should go with tsunami or something else?

Glad your back up and running! I cant wait to get my enclosure!!

Ok cool. So do i need to make a hole in the firewall for each run or can i run all of them through the same hole? Its a noob question but i am still learning as i go with all this lol.

Yes this is a daily setup for the most part. I do plan on competing this summer when i can. I got dual 2ohm subs so i can wire them down to 1 ohm. Ive never had a setup this big so im still not sure how many batteries i need. I was thinking about a couple of xs d3100's or something similar. Also i was thinking instead of 2 runs of 1/0 guage i would do just a single run of like 2/0 welding wire or something.
