Video I shot this morning after +17v spikes. 12v is depressing..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsa53kD8cvY

On my way to work today my alternator spiked over 17v and now is only charging at 13.0v. This is the second mysterious failure I have had with this alternator. Ironically when this happened I didn't even have my stereo above talking level. What should I do?

You will need to research enclosure dimensions and see if the specs you are seeking are sufficient

I would go a little deeper. Iirc any dimension should not be more than 2/3 less then another. So with a width of 45", minimum depth would be 15". Research this and you will get more precise information on box size ratios.

I too am anxious to see the epic proportions of this build come together.

Did you figure out what modifications are necessary for the car to support the weight?

Thanks for checking in gps69. More people we can get involved tne better! I know what you are saying about the "flea market" products. Nobody up here knows what they are missing out on. Funny huh? I can not wait to see the RX-8 with the LS1!!! All my family lives in Lancaster, I travel down there often. Lebanon is only a stone throw away. So far Carlisle might me a good location for us all to plan a meet.

More like some SA-15s! YES!!! Tryin' to get there, but running into resistance with the wife. Somebody wanna take her off my hands?? Sounds like you and I need to send out ladies on vacation together Mostly every free chance I get is "do you want to go....", "want to watch.....", "I thought we could.....", uhhhhhhh damnit I think lol. She is a doll, it just gets frustrating to get garage time in. The SAv.2 are going to be killer!!!! I am with ya. As soon as I get my recreational vehicle I am doing a wall of some sort with lots-o SA's!

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

That looks loud as balls!!!

Get'r done Ironic though that Mechman would not build an alternator for my Hyundai 6 months ago. Looks like it is all about who you know, or are

Lol very cool. That Pet Place has been around forever. GNT was literlly right beside it when they were at there last location but that was a high end home audio install shop. GNT was initially a JL Audio shop, Town of Sound was Lanzar and WeeBee was Kicker. They were the big names back then. Lol all winning systems had a mix of Alpine hu, Audiocontrol eq's, PPI amps, JL subs and MB Quart high/mids. Which I could buy all within 10miles of my house........how times have changed. I am anxious to see if anybody else checks into this thread. It would be nice to meet up with some audio addicts, now a days they are far and few

In my home town, Lancaster, there was Town of Sound (York), WeeBee Audio and GNT Stereo. All closed up but WeeBee which is much more home audio related now. If nothing else maybe by next year we can get a group together to meet at one of the Carlisle events.

I also remember back in the day there were shops and meets everywhere, now nothing. Lock Haven isnt too far from me.

I live in the Poconos, PA. Next year (my build better be done then!!!!) I would love to make it out to a few competitions. Nothing serious, just for fun. I never heard of any comps or teams in NEPA. Does anybody know of any? Anybody here live in PA?

Congrats

Nice ride man. BTW it is a lot more fun with the traction control off

Nice man. Now all you need is some screw down wire ties to secure the blue power/speaker wires going to the 1500D

Other than welding it, maybe JB Weld.

It is ok to be a bit wrong. Look at it this way, M5 was pleasant to you, anybody else would have been an idiot, hahaha!

Is it just the photo composition or is that coil REALLY thick!? Is the driver designed to compliment the NS-1?

This is about as shady as it can get. + they sell skar and sundown? and pretty much every other thing from 1800woofers and then on SMD it seems like if he has acess to MalibuOn22's account over there. I doesnt matter to me how many businesses Kevin is dealing with or owns. As long as my business dealings with him are honest then I will continue to buy from him. I also know that nobody is perfect, including myself , a couple hiccups here and there will happen. As far as I know Skar is a subsidiary of Sundown. Obsidian is too. From a business perspective, his deallings with forum members on SMD are meaningless to me. Skar has no ownership attachments to sundown and is owned by Kevin, and has nothing to do with Jacob as far as company goes. Jacob plays more of a consultant role in the SKAR business. Just to clear things up for you guys.... Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

It's not that big, maybe you just need a bigger vehicle! That would be one solution
