Lucky 76

i had my infinity kappa tweeters running off the h/u and they just clipped the sh!t out of them at like half volume ... they also shut down the h/u's internal amp very quickly with eq set to flat no loudness and sla on lowest setting

you will get no power out of your remote wire ... it is just a 12 volt constant to turn on your amp with little amperage

y not get a q and upgrade the cooling on it with the bp option ... it will handle that power daily

that's what she said

you should double up on ur crossover ... it is less frequency for your amp to filter out without an oscilloscope you cannot really test where your h/u clips that is why people say to turn it down to 3/4 (better to be safe than sorry) ... yes you need to tune the front and rear gains independently as they are driven separately sometimes making one set of outputs more than the other ... also make sure that when tuning each gain that you test both the outputs going to that gain as one can be slightly higher (always tune to the output with the highest voltage) ... do not tune to the birthed amount of power because your amp will most likely clip ... bring the wattage down some Having multiple crossovers in the signal chain causes phase issues. really? when i worked at boomer mcloud in watertown they told me that it was better to filter them out at both the h/u and amp ... which would be better to do? amp or h/u?

both my rockfords do =) He has a 3000BD who has a 3000bd?

They're wired right, meter is saying 1.2 ohms at the amp. Can you take one out and check? Cause you just measured DC resistance. resistance should be the same in ac or dc shouldnt it?

the subs are the ts-w3001d4 by pioneer (premier) ... there will be 2 of them in the enclosure and it will be powered by a hifonics brutus bxi2006d so i am guessing around 1500 watts to them ... this is some stuff i had lyign around and i sold it to my friend ... he wanted a ported box so we are trying to figure out how to build it ... i cant find the box calculator on ssa anymore =(

i am also going to swap on the h/u for the new pioneer avic-z110bt

ya there is no fans as of now ... i had to take the plexi out because it melted from the t40001bd =( .... i am in a little of a rut right now ... everything is in but they sent me a bad t8004 that somehow put out dc and broke all my xxx 6.5s ... so now i have to send that back ... ill post pics of what its looking like tho

both my rockfords do =)

Most people will just hit it with a sledgehammer, but a vise works MUCH better. that is badass

ya my old 120 dollar tsunami pros were so tight they ripped the rca inputs off my jbl and infinity amps even while twisting them out lmao ... its time for a new set because the stripping on the jacks are coming off and i have to guess which are which

i was looking at the knukonceptz krystal rcas ... they are looking pretty nice for the price ... anyone have any experience with them? ... they look similar to the high end jl interconnects or the mid grade monsters

voltage is not dropping as rpms rise ... i understand i need to put another ground on the engine block but i dont have any wire at the moment ... i would think that it would be more important to have one closest to the alt.

i am going to charge the battery tonight and dom said if worse comes to worse that i can send him my factory one and he will build it according to that

alright thanks ... my friend put attached the harness and i asked him if it was in secure and he said it was ... u never know unless you do it yourself though ... im going to check that when i go home

yes but why would the check charging system come on if i just swapped out the alt ... i had the bat checked at advanced and it said the battery was good

but you dont understand ... it was not this bad with the stock alternator ... this one is charging at less volts and even when i put maybe 500 watts to it the thing drops to the 11s w engine revved

because we know what the problem is now and now we are just getting off topic whats the problem? my charging system cannot keep up with the amps ... the voltage drops are causing the amps to work too hard ... also the t40001bd is a unique amp in itself and can get pretty hot according to rockford ... i did testing and the temp is not as bad as i thought at 0 volume (approx 95 on the output side and 91 on the input side) during all tests

i have a single alternator that is a 260 ... i have not even turned my system on high because i am afraid of the voltage drops ... i have a 4kw rockford and my 4 channel does like 100x4 at 4 ohm ... i do not have an external voltage regulator as dom said it would not be needed .... i think the problem is either the serpantine belt or the tensioner pully but i do not know if my check charging system light would go on

y must everything not work for me =( .... i installed an excessive amperage alt about a month ago and it was not putting out anywhere its intended amount ... it would charge at only 14.1 and voltage drops would be incredible (into the 10s) ... no check charging system came on ... i decided to buy an iraggi to replace the ea alternator ... it still charges but only to 13.9 and now i am getting worse voltage drops and now the check charging system light comes on ... the pulley is smaller and also making a high pitch turning sound that i did not heard before in the ea ... i checked all my wires and it seems like everything is going where it is supposed to go ... the only thing i changed was that i rerouted the ground from the engine block to the top sanded part of the casing where the mounting bracket is bolted in

because we know what the problem is now and now we are just getting off topic

i have heard nothing but good from pioneer accept for this ... the new pioneer is looking very promising with built in ipod sound reconstruction sofware
