  1. Even though the Big may be hard to do (the positive wire from battery to alternator isnt completely neccessary if you dont upgrade your alternator and you already have a nice size wire on there such as 4 gauge). I only replace my ground wire out the big 3 (battery negative to cars frame and alternator negative/engine block to cars frame) and it gave me steady voltage and higher car turn on voltage. A cap wont help you since you are having voltage or not enough power issues in my eyes.
  2. x2, OP did you even contact them to see what they said or did you just come on here to bash them without seeking customer service first? Hopefully it can be resolved and fixed, but keep us posted with everything that happens and not just what is wrong.
  3. Less than 37, so you better buy on fast or you will miss out. You should be asking this the day your gonna buy it, that information is useless to you now.
  4. It will push either one fine, whatever is your budget is what you should go with in my opinion (this is a choice you will have to make).
  5. Alright no problem and good luck.
  6. Well thats a start and look to see if there are reviews on line of what your looking at also.
  7. x2, Hifonics is a good budget amp just known to fail on you if you get a bad one and they dont have the best customer service. You will not regret getting a 1600 watt amp over a 2000 watt amp (the difference wont be noticeable), plus cvx's dont need 1000rms hence there 750 rms rating. You can look at a 2000watt amp just make sure you set your gains correctly (with DMM) and watch how you use the volume knob. An amp on sale that will push them nicely is a Sundown SAE-1200v2:
  8. Since there is no such thing as underpowering a sub then yes it will suffice, until you get the amp you want in the future if you plan on upgrading.
  9. How far off is it than a TL because I am also really just considering buying one and paying if off by letting others use it for a small fee. All I know is it is not accurate, I have heard some say its acurrate, some say it is off by 3 db's, som say 5 db's and then up to 10db's. I have never heard of anyone actually doing a test to see how far off but I know there off by at least 3 db's or more if I had to guess.
  10. Looks like nobody will be able to tell you with that shitty quality of a photo that you posted, do you think someone can look at that and tell (be serious).
  11. No problem at all, but dont get me wrong I do have fun with it on some songs to though (just make sure you need it before you buy it thats all Im saying). If you have money to spend and want to have some fun and tweaking measuring device till you get a TL Meter or something I would get it. Just my .02
  12. Yeah its one going on right now, hurry up and hope on it now begore it ends. is that the only promo there doing? Nobody knows only FI does and when they come out with promos they will let everyone know at the same time, so if you dont see anything else then this is the only promo that they may have for the holiday season. Plus they just did one where they gave a free sub away a few weeks ago.
  13. I only use mine for voltage read outs, no the meter is not accurate but an effective way in telling whatever tweaking your doing is helping or hurting your system. I do listen to alot of old school so it helps in that region but if you dont need it for those needs there is really no point in buying a bass processor.
  14. Yeah its one going on right now, hurry up and hope on it now begore it ends.
  15. Yeah thats what I plan on doing for my next box.
  16. Yeah you and me both, appreciate it . Sorry OP for the thread jacking but if you are having problems with pictures just let Denim (PM him) know and he will work on it and fix it if he can.
  17. ok well good luck in the future with it, how is that Z15 treating you (thinking about ordering one tonight)?
  18. Yeah that should do justice in whatever your gonna put that in.

    Wow, did he say you were a c-word (are we in grade school, if your man enough to say something about somebody at least say the word) . But dude seriosly go measure the space you have available and go from there, if you have enough space for a 2.25ft^3 enclosure than do that, if not then go smaller. It is that simple, yo gotta do some work on your own nobody is gonna baby you and do all the work for you. Plus grow-up man, he is helping you and you want to get emotional (those are female traits so leave them off this forum and keep them for you personal life) .
  20. Well PM Denim, he will get it taken care of for you (anything I need done on this forum he does for me with no problems).
  21. Now those are some "low profiles", I would hate to hit a pot hole and I wonder how long the tread last on these.
  22. Jacob recommends 3-3.25 ft3, tuned between 32 and 35hz. I would say the standard 12-16 sq in of port area to every cuft. So if you are doing 6 ft3, then about 72-96 sq in of port area total. I have one of these in 3.25ft3 enclosure, tuned to 35hz. It sounds great with only about 400rms! I plan on purchasing one of these today and going for 3.39ft^3 @ 29.99Hz, cant wait till you get this build log up and rolling. Ill be making some and getting something to .
  23. I hate those kinda terminals since it is hard to overtighten them to wire without stripping the thread on the little turn piece, plus the wiring can slip out if not tight enough or getting pulled someway or somehow. Just my .02 but keep the build log going.
