There was one guy that did M2 that i am aware of, he did a 148.6 i believe

sealing around the wall typically doesn't get louder to the ear, just to the meter. If i were you, i'd wait on buying that herculiner stuff. Secondskin is about to come out with a covering like that and other liners in the same category and will cost less than $100 a can.

Well, i believe your guys step down transformer has 2 step down settings correct? Is one of the 2 suitable for running an alt at 17v and stepping down to 15v or slightly lower for the 12v bank? Letting the alt keep it charged is one thing but i like to top them off for competition use as well. I really do love XS Power. I only have a single D3100 and a single D5100 in the back and i just pulled just a hair over 1,100A at a comp yesterday for a total period of about 1.5-2.5 seconds and very quick ~400-500A spurts. After my burp run was over, voltage only fell from 13.2v to 12.8v! Stock alternator was fully capable of charging this back up and the voltage regulator inside the alt didn't even drop voltage while doing it and i was surprised about that.

And i found my stock cpu fan and slapped it on there after cleaning the processor off... It sucks finding out that the STOCK FAN runs COOLER than the aftermarket! And i'm still OC'ed 33% over stock.

yep, the fuses handled fine! 4 80A fuses accepted a current pass of just over 1,100A to get my score before they blew. It took 1.5seconds to pop so plenty of time.

OMG. AQ finally put line outs on an amp finally... Now people dont have to Y adapt the world together in their ride! I doubt i'd ever get one of these.... but.... it depends on the price... I have 6 3500s right now...3 of those amps would be nice but unfortunately i am about to downgrade my power soon and try somethin different for a while.

In MAY?!?! It better be done by then! Hell, i was expecting it to be done by the end of the week.

Apparently i cant do math. I am one point away from being tied for M4 Points leader. I will be redesigning my wall.... Hopefully i can overcome my competition at Carl Casper in 3weeks. I have vids but because my main pc's fan died this morning, i have to find a fan lying around and reclean the processor in preps for a new temp cooling solution while i order me a new one. No, i havent already fixed it, lol, i'm on one of 4 pcs i have as back ups in case something weird happens.

MECA results-Gary F. - 159.6db X1, Paul Strouth - 157.1db M5, and me,shizzzon- 153.4db M4 - i am now the M4 Points Leader.

Audioque does not make SPL woofers.. Audioque woofers have high inductance, from what i've been told, which is why they rise so high. Their amps do more than rated power just like any other good amp out there will. I am starting to meter the AQ3500ds soon this coming week so let's see what they are capable of for an amp under $500.

Audioque has been working on a new project that they may be deciding to release this spring of 2010! It will either be one or 2 different 10kd models but this is what he has said- Pricing will still be fair and cheap based on current models pricing. This 10,000w amp is stated to be rated at 10,000w @1ohm in between 12-14.4v @1%THD. There will also be a 20,000w rated @18v. This monsterous amp will have 3 sets of 1/0 PWR\GND terminals. I'm sure there will be a warning about having an upgraded electrical system, lol. Pricing still hasn't been announced yet and since Digital Designs has dropped out of the "Big Ass Amp Market", that leaves only AQ and a select few other companies left to manufacturer amps over the 10kw mark.

I'm not gonna post a lot of info in here right now because i dont have my specs in front of me but between now and the next few days, i'll be testing their power capability to a degree as they are wired at 0.4ohms right now... 4 of them are and will be kept that way for a week or two. As of right now, leaving them wired like that and keeping the gain off(that's if you have an aftermarket gain controller), the amp's exhibit no heat buildup when not in use. It was left running like this for 45 minutes. Some people may find this odd that i would test an amp with no output power but to the contrary... some amps wired this low are real touchy about certain wired loads and will go into protect without power output at all. Also, some amps may start building up heat just from being wired that low and is not good for them either. This amp is not like those which is good to see. I do not recommend wiring below 0.65ohms at rest on any AQ amps as I've not yet tested their capability. I will be testing how durable they are on low voltage drops, but that will be a little while from now. The only output number i have for you guys is this- 5.1ohms - 957w. I do not know at what voltage the batts were but i know for a fact it was below 13v because the car was off. Some more info about the amp- All of it's vents are on the bottom so make sure you keep this area clear. You can stack these amps on top of each other using threaded rod and nuts as bases but just a little side note about doing such an install- Use a 17/64" bit to redrill the feet so the rod can slide through. You will need to position washers in place on the rod prior to permanently mounting amps on top of each other. The allen wrench screws that are stickign out of the sides of the amp interfere with the washers properly going down to the feet of the amp, the washers must be placed in place prior to mounting amps permenently. The amp comes with a remote GAIN controller with clipping LED, power\protect light. It has standard controls- Gain, SSF, LPF, Bass Boost, Master\Slave switch. The amp uses no internal fan and does well without one. Wired at 0.7ohms daily, the amps do not get hot enough to cause pain if you set your hand on it for long periods. The remote wire connection is with the speaker connections. This mono block amp has 2 sets of + and - terminals. The purpose is inside the amp, these connections are internally paralleled. This is still a mono channel amp. This feature is to allow you to either let the amp parallel connections for you so you do not have to do it at the sub(s) or used for less resistance connections when trying to use the most and largest wire possible. Knukonceptz Kolossus 8awg wire will fit into the speaker connection terminals on the amp. The remote wire also accepts up to 8awg for unknown reason so you do not need a very small wire for this connection. I could not even get 16awg to fit properly, has to use something bigger. These amps will stay alive all the way down to 9.5v and can accept voltage levels safely up to 18.5v. This amp is rated to do 3,500w @14.4v @1%THD\4,000w @16v @1%THD\5,100w @18.0v @1%THD If you want to drive these amps into major clipping, you will gain much more power as you'll see later on when i add more later. These amps are no longer made and can be found used for under $500 shipped.

yea u know why, lol, too many people tryin to talk to him and no time to work.

call them monday if they dont respond by then at 1-888-441-0144. Dave will pick up the phone. U can also go to Steve's site and see if Kyle will respond if u are super eager.

last i heard they thought she had scarlet fever. Have they come to a conclusion yet?

I haven't seen this posted here or other places yet and am wondering what battery charger out there is capable of charging these new 14v batteries?

that's not how you measure wattage output from an amp! How do you know that the Dmm and the Ammeter both peaked at the same time? How? Prove it! You can't! Therefore the only way to do it with the equipment you have as best as possible is to eye both meters at the same time and take those numbers. You should never set peak hold to measure watts or impedance rise, lol, it won't work.

Get an SP alt from DC Power

yep, acoustical length is typically at it's highest when the port has a bend in it. because the internal height is 27.5" high, this is what happens- build port wall 20" long leaving it 7.5" from hitting the floor. So we have 20" + thickness of baffle(0.75") So now we are at 20.75" At the very end of the port inside, it must bend around the corner. the bend around the corner's length is equal to the port's width. So 20.75" + 7.5" = 28.25" Now you must account for 0.75" more for the thickness of the port wall itself. Now we are at 29" Because this port is sharing the walls of the enclosure, it is a slot port. Take half the width of the port and add it to 29" 29" + 3.75" = 32.75" If your port doesn't share the side wall of the box, then the acoustical length will not be that far off from the physical length. Let's say the physical port length was only 5" internally. That would be 5" + .75" for baffle thickness - 5.75" then you 'd take half the width which is 3.75" so this answer would be- physical length to cut - 5" acoustical length seen by box- 9.5" that's only 4.5" increase vs 12.75" for your current box drawing. That's why bends in a slot port have high acoustical lengths and the wider the port, the longer it is.

here is your figures- Using single sided 0.75" MDF all the way around, I get 8.25cuft GROSS. I estimate and subtract 0.65cuft for all 6 10s and get 7.6cuft GROSS. I then build port as follows- 12.5" depth-wise 7.5" width-wise 20" Deep Internal(leaving 7.5" of space before hitting floor keeping port width at 7.5") Physical port length- 20" internal. (this is what you make) Acoustical port length- 32.75" (this is what the box sees) tuning - 32hz. NET Volume - 6cuft even

hmm, you think maybe the electrical system is making it seem the pdx was louder?

i suggest setting crossover points AFTER setting gain or else the slopes more than likely will bleed into the note you are using to set gain with. also, if using a 0db test tone, you will want the clip led to be solid red when you are done tuning it because music isn't recorded that high. Once it goes solid red, just turn it up slightly. You may be adjusting it for different songs here and there as all music is not recorded at the same level... That's be too easy...

u ever get that amp setup?

guess i should leave a little earlier than normal if i run into a whiteout.

everything i mentioned is based upon stories that has happened in my area.... And to my buddy, lol, he's responsible for most of them, lmao. They work with a customer one on one. IF they feel that way about you then sure, they may let you make payments. They like to work with people as a person rather than a figure in the world to make money off of.
