Cool! Now what would addding some distilled water to my Interstate do? And how should i go about doing it?

What do you mean use DI water? I am assuming that means distilled, but use it how?

Thats exactly my thinking, but even when i crammed as much wire as i can into the power and ground on the RF it still wants more power. Even when this Interstate was brand new. 4awg wasnt enough so i loosened the power/ground teminals and now i have as much solid copper wire as i could fit without breaking anything. the more power i give it, the louder it gets. I only have the gain at 3 out of 7 and the Punch EQ off. At one point we had it wired with 4awg power/ground, and connected to three 850cca batteries, and it drained them pretty fast for an amp rated 400rms @ 4ohms bridged. i think the batteries held up for a little over an hour before it would dim lights and shut off the amp. (car was not running, transmission was out at the time of testing)

First question: What is a "float charge"? I've heard the term a few times, but never what it means. Second: How do you maintain a "float charge"? Again, I've heard about it and from what i hear it seems like a good thing, but don't know how. Third: What are some "budget" batteries? I don't need to power a small country, but i would like a decent reserve, as my RF 200.2 beats up on my current battery, a somewhat old Interstate 1000cca. Fourth, and finally: What are some ways to help keep your batteries healthy, or functional for longer? Thanks guys! I forgot to add, that for the time being, i am using a Pyramid 3amp constant/4amp surge AC/DC converter to charge my battery, only temporarily because my friend smoked my actual car battery charger. -Chris

Sure DD is good, but you don't have to be all over their nutz...rofl. Some kind of guy.

Priceless....... Classic........

Whatsa "music keg"? sounds cool, but i have no idea what it is

Holy bleeding eardrums Batman! Nice score, very nice score. :bigclap:

:bigclap: Excellent! SSA, another win.

Thats not cool...People never cease to amaze me... -internet is preventing SSA animations from workin, nick, your avitar dinosaur is always a different color when it freezes...

I hear great things about both, but i favor Sundown. Jacob is a pretty cool guy, even helped me on a project i did on audio for school. That ladies and gentlemen, is a cool dude.

:bigclap: Awesome. Hopefully that'll filter some of the "forum challenged" users out from those who are serious

Hmmmmm.....This might help me inspire my parents to let me redesign the home theatre....

:bigclap: Phoenix27, i find your attitude a little offensive.

Time for a beat down....

Sound good! Keep us posted

I'm not positive, but you may be able to ask Jacob to throw some extra spiders in there so it can handle a bit more power. Not sure about 3k though. I was looking at the Omegas the other day, do you like yours?

How do the Type R's handle all that power thermally? And what song is that?

If i were you, i would see if i could hear the pair.

forum member....

Where is this offer coming from? I hear that RD has horrid customer service.

Oops double post...

The 20001BD will do just fine. But, in the right box, the BTL could take that 4K all day. You would probably want D2 coils so you can wire it down to 1ohm at the amp. Also, it would be in your best interest to add a battery (maybe more) and upgrade your charging system. Be sure to post your build! Edit: Damn Shizzzon, you beat me to it

Thats awesome, i know i would sure have a hard time doing what you did.
