No it wont give you the same reading. If you place it at the sub amp you will be only receiving the voltage the amplifier is seeing at any given time. Correct me if im wrong anybody, but at the rear battery or headunit may be the same or close to one another. I usually just tie mine into the radios wiring harness

Some people hook the volt meter to the back battery, their sub amp or radio. Just depends and personal preference really.

When is more infomation going to be available? Im interested but just telling me the amps are capped at 15 volts doesnt help much.

Love the new SUV man, thanks for the heads up on Phonocar since i never heard of them before.

Congrats Swift, keep up the hard work.

Haha its crazy to see how magnets react to one another.

Too much chrome for me but as long as you like it. The truck seeems to be coming down the last stretch and im glad you covered that box up. Whats next?

What is your total buget for a front stage? I wouldnt add a midrange unless going active. Find a nice set of components that you can compromise with, that can give you that balance you're looking for. Or take a look at a Mini Dsp about $110 bucks to control all your processing needs for running active. A nice 8" and full range three way would be a nice setup, plus it wont hurt your wallet either. Seeing as you want a more midbass oriented front stage with the ability to have good amount of output. Just an option to look into.

The white baskets are a nice touch, not bad at all. Been considering B2 amps for a minute now.

First step would be to treat your doors before spending money on new equipment. Usually with a mid that has better lowend there is a tradeoff and that might be in the midrange frequencies. You cant have both, going active would open up your choices to better drivers.

The zcon takes more power than the xcon, subs are designed for two different applications.

The mini dsp's dont seem to be so bad, as im looking into one myself. If you would like to be able to learn and have fun tuning your system then take the chance. If it becomes to much of a hassle or you just want to go back to passives, keep your current crossovers and sell the mini.

Is that the only picture you found. Looks real good, got my attention.

Is the port going on the same plane (baffle) as the three subs? Subs OD shouldnt be more than 11", if you can fit that then you are golden.

It is man and you been on here long enough to know that you gotta help yourself, why spoon feed you when you can simply click on threads with all this information available at your fingertips. Difference between asking for help and being lazy.

Read through this section on the forum, there are mulitiple threads with all the background info needed on the DSS Ethos. Do some research man

Thats why they have a Tech Support Tab on their website, click it.

Blown already? This might help, needs to be updated though: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/61811-recone-and-glue-prices/

Yes.

Here is the Group 31 version battery just to show you an example of which line-up im referring to: http://www.sears.com/diehard-platinum-marine-battery-group-size-31m-price/p-02850131000P

Go look at batteries and see what will fit, Sears has Diehard Platinum batteries for good pricing. Check them out

I would replace the battery under the hood with the biggest that could fit first along with the alternator, then monitor voltage to see if a battery in the rear is needed. Depending on your listening habits you may get by without buying two batteries. Is that the biggest alt you can find for your vehicle?
