Front stage is Diamond Audio D6 components for now. Trying to figure out what to do next. I really want to do a nice 3-way setup. So many options..... I know Sir Lancelot could help you out!

Thanks for posting Robbie. No problem with the rear spacers. Kyle and I have been texting over the weekend and we have it figured out. I sent Kyle a few emails the last one is most important. With this XP design the factory alternator bracket needs modified. This may or may not be something the average customer can do if he does not have the right tools. Here are some angles that I measured. This may help you determine if the pulley size is correct. The belt I am using is a Dayco Poly Rib 5040350. The mechanic that looked at my car said the belt tension was perfect. I could tighten it more if needed...maybe I will. It is impossible to get a straight on shot of the alt installed on the vehicle. Here are some pictures, hope this helps.

Thanks bro. My next install I will be mounting the faceplate where the rearview mirror is teathered to the hu in the glove box I am getting my car inspected this afternoon. I used to work with the mechanics that are doing my inspection. I wil have them look over my belt tension. It is very tight now. Hell I had to put a wrench on the crank to rotate the crank to get the belt to slip on and then I adjusted the tension more after that. The factory belt was super tight, hardly any deflection.

Thanks Kyle.

That would be ironic for my belt to slip everytime the bass drops I am waiting to hear Kyle or Robbies opinion and go from there. Imo these super effecient high output alts need a direct ground. I will do it and see.

I will add the ground wire asap. Congrats to you too!!!!

Driving to work this morning my voltage was very sporadic. It was jumping from 15v down to 13.4v. My headlights were dimming because of the nearly 2v changes. Engine rpm were above 2000.

Thanks You beat me to it while I was sleeping Sure thing Robbie, thank you I wasn't watching engine RPM. But I will take note. I was planning on running a 1/0 ground from the alternator directly to the battery but I only have one 1/0 lug laying around. More 1/0 lugs are on order. Do you think this will help any or would I be wasting money? I am typing you an email now Kyle. Where would you connect this wire to? Between alt case and steel bolt when mounted to engine? I would think the ground would be sufficient, considering the case itself is the ground, when it's bolted in, that's a pretty big piece of conductive metal it's bolted to. Yes at the alt mounting location. I currently have two engine grounds in 1/0. Running one directly from the alt to battery maybe worthwhile, idk. Other alt manufacturers recommend it..... lol I didn't even notice that stealth install cus I skipped around in the video but that is badass. Thanks

I haven't had any time to work on my build. I just bought a house and I am doing some renovations. I am adding a 230v sub panel in my garage for my Lincoln 180c welder I got a DC Power 270XP! I want to add a direct ground from the alt to the battery, hopefully that will smooth out the voltage.

The only reason I mentioned to check resistance is to verify that there isn't a broken conection in the line which would not pass a signal. I also mentioned polarity which is important. You can not check resistance in this senerio if you go from male center pin to outer ground ring or jacket and vice versa.

I guess two 18" gets you on team SSA What are you doing for your front stage?

Here is the vid of my stock alt. Another 79 minutes and the DC Power alt video will be uploaded. I will post it tomorrow morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p58n2TZEk6Y

So does it fit..... Yes! I had to "adjust" a few things but it is in. Kyle I will be emailing you the details. I am uploading some videos now.....

Dear SSA techies, I am going to be running my 15" XCON in a ~2.5^3ft sealed enclosure. I am curious if when the 15" ZCON is available will I be able to do a direct swap in my sealed enclosure? Thanks, edub

I seen your vids, chit hits no doubt but.................... we need pics

Check out aftermarket Escalade parts there may be components you can buy designed to solve the issue you have. I personally would not use spacers, just my opinion.

Good stuff. Did you download from the link you posted? Yes sir. Datpiff is the best mixtape downloading site in my opinion. Now that I have you guys' attention, I'd like to get your opinion on another rapper that I've been persistently listenin to lately. His name is Rittz, and he resides an Atlanta. Check him out here and tell me what you think. Rittz Mixtape I love his stuff personally. And YelaWolf as well, of course. If you don't know who YelaWolf is, shame on you!!!!!!! I am going to take a week digesting Mac Miller then I will check out Rittz

Good stuff. Did you download from the link you posted?

I should have added that if you do not have any measurement on the dvm then you could have a bad rca connector, wire or both. You should have a measurement on the dvm such as 0.000

Measure the resistance in ohms from one end to the other. Remember rca connectors carry both + and - in one connector so make sure to connect the dvm accordingly. For our lengths it should be zero.

Pics or Lies. No pics of the install cause it was too dark. But I do have a pic taken of all 3 lines of amps from earlier in the day. Post em up Sir. I would love to see them. The stock photos looks really nice. What are your thoughts on the amps you installed? I didn't say it was a great pic. Was getting pics of the guts and everything and just took this to show they really do exist. I won't say much, but the build quality is top notch. Lots of standard parts used as with almost all amps, but there are a few upgrades these amps incorporate that you just don't see on amps costing more than double what these will cost you. Professional pics coming soon. Sunday we will be doing power test for actually real world output at different voltages and ohms. Epicenter Jon, send me a 3500bc so I can compare it to my 3kwp Did you ever see the previous gold Crescendo amps in person? The gold color is nice. Here are mine:

Looks great

Nice looking build man!
