you could always paint them, but if they do tarnish you can just take a piece of sand paper to the place where you want to put a connection

well, a BLT is a nice sandwich.. but for a BTL, if it is dual 1Ω it would be showing a resistance of 2Ω , so basically something that does 1-2000 watts rms (depending on what options you have it will be more) at 2Ω a sundown, incriminatior audio would be nice. Julian.

Why don't you just go with a set of Q's or two twelve inch Bl's i have a fifteen and its only getting 800-900 watts rms and it absolutely pounds like no other, it only ran me around.. 320 or so? for a fifteen shipped to my door, but also here are some questions. Are you building your box yourself? sealed vs ported do you have the electrical system to support a big stereo are you looking for just musical bass or over the top bass? if you're just looking for some nice bass you could go with a nice ten.

yeah i know thats what i was concerned about i really want to add another 15 but i dont want to have to buy two new subs

x2 i second that.

are there any differences in the 08 and the 09 BL models? i would love to add another 15 but concerned about putting two different subs in the same box, are they any different to the point where you couldnt put them together in the same box?

im pretty sure it goes down to 1 ohm could your speaker terminals be shorting out? you may have gotten a DOA.

that is ridiculous i never thought RF would stoop that low. sheesh, show's what i know.

i second that, when you get into car audio thats what you see lol, try hifonics or crunch theyre pretty good amps

go to this forums market place thingy or go to sundowns website

yeah pretty much everyone on this forum would . They're little powerhouses. You could always go with a hifonics, they're nice amps and are usually over-rated but put out about 1xx less power, but i got a 1200 watt amp for 160 i believe 1200 watts rms at 1 ohm which isn't bad.

good, although i think thats rated at 14.4v (most) cars are like 13.4 while idling, sundowns are nice amps and are rated at 12v instead of 14.4 so you'll be getting some more watts at like 13v. Im pretty sure im right, correct me if im wrong.

id rather someone steal my system instead of a gun in my car, just knowing the fact that it could be used to harm/take someones life would be something i couldnt live with. i hope everything goes over well and you recover it all.

I've been in the same situation but some kid from my school rolled up in a nice ass car, a mustang to be exact, and he had like one 12 inch sony xplod, and an autobahn and was trying to show off (i have a very dinged up 95 lumina). i laughed at him and turned up my single bl and his jaw dropped and was shaking the taco bells windows and vibrating the signs, was quite funny

mine was aprox 600 bucks.. its well worth it. getting 4 teeth pulled at one time is HORRIBLE experience, ive been there i had to get my 4 pre-knines out, hurt horribly bad

Yep, thanks for all the suggestions

I re did EVERYTHING instead of using rockford fosgate ring terminals i made my own from some metal tubing and its great and cheap! im getting like 13.8v at full tilt while idiling which is great for a stock alt.

could be, maybe satan posessed my 4gauge tsunami wiring

nope, i don't think so.. 13.94 back bat at the leads of my second battery 10.08 at the leads of my amp

i don't think so the ground is securely grounded with a 4 gauged size bolt sanded down on both paint sanded down on both sides. the rings on the terminals are crimped and taped tightly.

so i metered my alt, front bat, back bat, and at my amp and this is what i got 14.16 (good) 14.05 front bat (good) 13.94 back bat (good) 10.08 (very bad) what could be killing a little over than 3 volts while idling?

it happens just after it hits full tilt after about 3 mins it starts distorting. i checked the coils they read just perfect. ill do that for you john.

its not, the fuse, im assuming its the heat from my car because it is atleast 100 degrees outside.

people on Youtube are VERY hard to educate. In general they all think they're right. Oh well right? I may be new/uneducated but im willing to learn more and take other more advanced users information, that's what separates us from other people. -Julian

So. my hifonics brutus bxi1208d is causing distortion, it doesn't start up instantly but as it gets going it starts to CLIP hard, the clipping light isn't going off or anything, im assuming its the heat? its about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. i have an Kinetik Hc 600, 4 gauge wire, stock alt. i get what i'd payed for right?
