  1. there are a lot of movies now that have things that will go down to 5hz. i just want to be on the safe side. an example would be the parts where the alien pods come out of the ground in war of the worlds.
  2. i went with the eQ.2. I am very happy with it besides the auto turn-on feature. This should have been taken out of the whole unit.
  3. When I saw the first picture, I was like thats kinda cute like a fat panda bear. Then when I saw the rest of the sub, omg, its Grizzly bear. lol nice subs...
  4. sweet, i have the 96 accord coupe. our trunk is exactly the same. can you even put the back seat up with that 3000d on there? lol. nice battery rack. i think ill have to steal that idea. now i know that a d3100 battery will fit nicely in there. i am going to go with about 1.5 cubes net less than you because i built a latch to get to my spare tire. im going with two 10s though and about the same amount of power if i keep my mind set on it.
  5. it doesn't matter. it matters on how much power his amps are going to pull. there is no set number of batteries needed, it depends on the battery. i mean he could get one giant RV battery with about 300Ah or something and be okay. however, those batteries are massive and weigh about 150lbs.
  6. damn, you had to post right before me. lol
  7. what do you guys look at when you say that the wires are good? i have seen that not all 1/0 wires are the same. check the actual thread counts and look at the material around the strands. some companies use thicker insulation to call their wires 1/0 wires when it really has as many strands as another company's 2 gauge.
  8. check every connection before you start playing again.
  9. thank you. I am set now on AGM batteries. When I am looking at batteries to power my car audio, should I decide on the different batteries' AH rating and, max discharge current rating or short curcuit current rating?
  10. lol. what the hell? did you get a hernia from reading this or something?
  11. I found this on another website that promotes both types. "The Gel Cell excels in slow discharge rates and slightly higher ambient operating temperatures. One big issue with Gel Batteries that must be addressing is the CHARGE PROFILE. Gel Cell Batteries must be recharged correctly or the battery will suffer premature failure. The battery charger being used to recharge the battery(s) must be designed or adjustable for Gel Cell Batteries. If you are using an alternator to recharge a true Gel Cell a special regulator must be installed."
  12. I got almost the same problem. one of the speaker thread is messed up and I cant get any screws to work with it.
  13. I cant remember but I was on websites like apexbattery.com, powerstridebattery.com, etc. they sell many different types of batteries from many different companies. I didn't just look at one siding sites. it must have been a FAQ somewhere. so what if i found two battery with about the same price, similar amp hour rating, and similar size/weight, but one was incorporated with GEL cells and the other with AGM cells? which do i choose? edit: okay, I just saw at the left side of the PDF, "which is right for your marine applications". lol.
  14. i just found a PDF online off of some company, i dont remember. there were many windows open. but it shows that the GEL technology is a better choice between the two when moderate to heavy trolling and starting is needed. The AMG technology is weaker in heavy trolling. I don't exactly know what trolling mean. But it seems like GEL > AMG. Input?
  15. I may think about doing some competitions but that will be as an amateur and for fun. This is for a mostly daily application. My set-up plans are what I have in my sig. i don't have the subs yet and I don't have a high output alternator yet either.
  16. but i am trying to figure out what the difference between GEL and AGM is and which technology is better for car audio purposes.
  17. I have been searching around for batteries to put in the rear of my car to as extra batteries to power two us amps md2d amps. I am looking at powermaster, kinetiks, deka, and alpha technologies batteries. So, with each of these companies, there are different types of batteries. some have AGM technology while others have GEL technology. What is the difference? Which is better for car audio purposes? I think with the dekas, there are some GEL and some AGM batteries. I think powermaster is all AGM, right? And alpha technologies has both as well.
  18. wow, how? and me want. lol.
