  1. looks great! what year pathfinder?
  2. congrats on a 145.4! i shoulda been there also looks like you got solid electrical
  3. you should be able to do so....hows the flex??
  4. good good...any pics? lol
  5. daily driver 07 trailblazer walled of behind back seats will compete just on the fun level every once in a while but mainly just a daily driver box will be 14 cubes after displacement tuned to 31 hertz what kind of electrical are you going to have to back that beast up?
  6. lol. Well I'm glad there are companies like Fi and Sundown Audio. Unfortunately when you have to use those "other brands", things can happen I guess. Uh..not to burst your bubble or anything...but.. Those amps aren't made here. hehe
  7. Dude. I can't wait until you hear it. Are you coming Sunday? Still not sure yet....i no i am scheduled at 11 BUT...who knows maybe they dont need both of us to come in, i hope
  8. Blue dustcap also! A BTL that close to your face is
  9. correct. Bracing will be applied
  10. I never wanna have to do that
  11. hahah do these tips up above, the last thing your gonna want to do is be forced to stop to fix these problems example: just got back two weeks ago from a trip to california all the way from michigan in a 1991 camry with 1500 dollars worth of problems but the kid decided not to pay a single cent to fix it....one tire looked flat, break pads smelled aweful, overall we made it back though. SO thats the good thing only reason we took his vehicle is because we could get 600 miles a tank
  12. your going to need at least 1/0..for power, ground, upgrade the big 3 in 1/0 also. You will def. need a HO alt with running that much power. example: even if you had ten batteries in the trunk with a stock alternator, they would not charge
  13. cool looking mountains in the background, oh and nice car
  14. a few links that may help: Charging systems The Big 3 Battery Isolators Sizing batteries to match your audio system The ratio of power to volume explained There's no real way to tell the amount of power your amplifier is supplying based on the volume or bass knob, since a "1200 watt" amp is rated by the manufacturer with a resistive load on a test bench with a stable power supply and a full spectrum pink noise test tone input at full output, whereas you are using the amp with a dynamic input source, in a car cabin subject to factors like cabin gain and transfer function with a subwoofer that's a reactive, inductive load in a box subject to impedance rise, while the speaker itself varies in impedance based on the frequency it's producing, and where half the audible volume from full output is equal to a tenfold drop in power output, and so forth.. you get the idea. The actual power output of an amplifier in a car is typically nowhere even remotely near what it's rated power is on the amplifier case. Also of note, you shouldn't really be relying on batteries to power the audio system when the engine is running. As long as your alternator puts out a higher voltage than the batteries, it's the alternator's job to supply current. If the alternator isn't large enough to accomplish this task, then it needs to be upgraded. Good luck! AAH OK im running 110 amps stock alternator. so should i get bigger alternator then?? As said up above do the big 3 upgrade and then check your voltage drop with a dmm and go from there...
  15. what the hell are you doing on here then? lolo
  16. all these tips are a great idea...but if its a hair test, i dont know what to say then
  17. please read noob guidelines and then come back and post...i would not recommend running that much power to a single BTL...i dont see the point of having to get a recone a week later because of improper tuning
  18. Welcome to SSA!
  19. I would go with the BL's but it all depends on the install. I have never been a big fan of Alpine woofers I've been pretty happy with the r's. what do you like about the BL's, and what don't you like about alpines? I prefer the BL's over the type x's because of the output BL's. I have never heard the type r's in person but as far as the type x's they sound pretty clean but the output is not really there. Maybe i should have said I'm not a big fan of the Alpine type x woofers instead of making a general statement about all of their lines How clean are the BL's? I don't want dirty bass, i want it tight and loud why not first just try out a single BL? and then go on from there....who knows maybe a single BL will be loud enough for you....
  20. remember vegas is behind 3 hours.......
  21. just wire the sub to one ohm....+ to + to amp, also - to - and then to amp
  22. just mess with it...and go through all the settings
  23. turned out nice! does it still say Mac N Cheese on the inside? i did it with a pencil last week lol
