So i purchased a stetsom 7KD and I am curious what the external fuse rating is. i looked up the manual online but it only has info for the two ohm version. The one i purchased is the one ohm 12 volt version. Also when i install this amp I will add another battery or two to what i have.I have noticed that a lot of setups have unfused connections on their terminals. As of now i have two batteries with two fuses 12 inches from each terminal. so if i install a third would i need another two fuses or would that only be necessary if they were a certain distance apart? And of course when i do the install i will do another positive run and dual input terminals. Thanks

I have noticed some noise coming from one of the ssd's and took it out of the enclosure. turns out the tinsel leads have burned down some of the padding.I'd like to replace them to get rid of that terrible noise. so how do i go about taking the pads off? And i was thinking of grabbing some felt pads and 3m spray adhesive to repair. would that do me? Thanks.

Also for what it's worth the audible difference would be minimal if you can even hear it. Is that because my efficiency would go out the window?

okay then, thanks a lot for the input!

Are you wanting to run it at .25 all of the time? yes, but that doesnt mean full tilt entire play time, id only run her 10 to 15 minutes at a day maximum at a "satisfying" output. and some days with very little output.

it rises to 2.4-2.7 ish when wired to one ohm

I have an AQX 3500 (loving it, stays pretty cool and no fires lol) but i was wondering if this amplifier would be ok at that low of an impedance if i had a proper electrical to support it and no bass boost. Thanks.

Hi,I was wanting some guidance on where i should take my electrical to minimize voltage drops. The amps are: hifonics BRZ2100.1 and a soundstream RUB500.4 Electrical: 150A alternator, shuriken BT-80 and shuriken BT-20 (both measure a good 12.7-12.9). 4 gauge big 3, 4 gauge to the soundstream and 0 to the hifonics I was aiming more for a bigger alternator. According to math, give or take a 14.4V crank 14.4v/2600w=180.5A. I'm not sure what current the car is drawing from that. would i be safe with a 240A alternator or do i need to just go 270? and would upgrading the big 3 to 0 be necessary? Thanks!

so i was thinking 4.8 cubes before displacement tuned to 40 Hz.... winisd says that ill gain 6 dB at 42 Hz.

The max room i have is 14"H x 36"W x 26"D(+/- 1" on width and depth). so that renders about 5.7 cubes.

http://i46.tinypic.com/2csgayd.jpg like i said she needs a to be repainted And it looks like the maximum dimensions i have before putting the seats down id 36"L x 14"H x 16" D

my box is 3.2 cubes now and i could NOT see how i would go any bigger without putting the back seats down. if it were even an inch taller or deeper it wouldn't clear the hatch. i barley have any room on the sides either, cursed hump in the interior over the shocks -.- Don't get me wrong people tell me its impressive and loud. but i feel like it could do a little more. my main concern is that even before displacement it falls below recommendations. i understand that people do not always follow the recommendations, but ive heard others say that FI's recommendations are a good guide to go by. and the low end is quite. Below 28ish hertz it has minimum output.

yea ill share some pictures soon, its dark out tonight ! shes a four banger but once i get it painted im sure i could turn some heads ^-^. also have an 81 that me and my bro are working on, it has a 306 we took the engine out and replaced all the gaskets and painted it..... it is running stupid rich though. all i have is a 750 to put on top need more like a 650 :/

more peak output please.

Hello all SSA members, william here .. eh you may call me Kyle. Im glad to have an account with this awesome forum and hope that i can learn from many of you!

XD ok ill do it right this time lol

I have no experience in enclosure construction at all and have been tearing through forums for some helpful advise in enclosure designs. I am pretty confused at this point about some things and was wondering if anyone could clear it up? I am under the impression that if a certain speaker is in a smaller enclosure that it will handle more power and a larger enclosure will be more efficient (less box rise). so if that is true, will they be equal in spl if they receive the same amount of power (after rise) rather its in a "smaller" or "larger" enclosure? i have also heard of people covering ports to play with their tuning, is this just a solid cover reducing the height/width of the port? does it have to be as deep as the port or just cover the outside? the setup: 93 mustang hatchback 150A alt shuriken bt-60 and bt20 brz 2100.1 (clamped at 1172w @47Hz) 2 fi ssd 12s in a prefab box ~1.6 cubes per chamber ~38Hz Im pretty happy with the setup as is but i want to get a little more "pressure" from the 12s(didnt really want to sacrifice the back seat but oh well) sorry if the questions seem a little on the dumb side, help is greatly appreciated!

thanks a lot! ill go ahead and jump over!
