What make is the vehicle?

how much torque? Couldn't find a number online. Therefore I win. The only thing I don't like the Buell so far is the unavailability of parts

I'm interested in seeing the EBR line-up when it comes out. I wouldn't mind a Triumph 675 or a KTM Duke myself. The only real Jap bike i could see myself on is an early 2000 Vmax.

I ensure you, I do get it. Although not all of what you said was true... The Americans are working their way to the podiums though! EBR Winning

Not a fan of the Jap bikes, but i do understand their appeal.

It's my love

I need to take a new picture... it's more naked now.

Aw got super excited when i read this and thought there was another Bueller here!

I just have my fans connected to a switch on the dash and then connected to my battery. Personally I wouldn't run that without fans, but that's not saying much. I've never had an amplifier that wasn't cooled somehow by external fans. You know man; it's always that "well it could be just fine.... or it could be not okay at all". Why risk it? You'd have to do more work later anyways if it goes south and your amps keep popping into protect!

I also think this is true. Plus this is also the case on the Skar models.

I always got all teary eyed for the Mayhem's...

But there isn't a chance in hell that your Jeep's stock electrical system will be able to handle 2500 watts daily. You're going to need a high output alternator and a battery in the rear.

This. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this. a 2500 watt amplifier can make wattage up to 2500 watts. You could run a 600 watt subwoofer off of it if you wanted to. I ran the same BTL you have off of a 3000d for over a year with out a single problem.

So essentially what you're going to get is a bunch of people recommending whatever amplifier they think is the greatest. We're all biased. I had a 2nd generation (same as yours) 18" BTL. Ran it off of a Sundown Audio SAZ-3000d which I still use now. I would recommend Sundown Audio amplifiers because I've never heard anyone who has had one complain about it. Lots of people here are SA biased, but lots of that bias is for good reason. If it was me, I would do exactly what I did and purchase a refurbished Sundown Audio amplifier from db-r electronics. They are the official Sundown Audio refurb company and the owner, Chris, has really good customer service. He even offers warranties with his refurbs. The amp i would buy. I would have bought that amp if it was for sale back when i bought my 3000d. If that's too much money for you, which is completely understandable, then pick pretty much any amplifier you want given distortion is preferably at or below 1% THD, efficiency about 83%, and measures output in RMS at a voltage you are actually going to see (12 v or 14v. NO 16v or 17v) There are endless amplifiers out there that would fit in the bill. Almost all of them do exactly what the specifications say they will do and malfunction at user error.

What BTL do you have?

What other brands have woofers have you ran? Do you want to keep the new woofers to two 15's in the same box you used for the Z's? Might be seeing me in your forsale thread when it comes about...

Officially have no idea what in God's name you two are talking about. And when you don't know what the terminology means, it sounds rather humorous. Likewise, lab reports are not fun. Do I care about transient signals? Well.... yeah I do, but not this much!

The biggest? that would depend on the amount of room you have to put the box in. Generally speaking, the larger box you have, the peakier (louder) the response curve will be AND power handling capabilities of the drivers used will decrease. WinISD is free software that can help you model driver response curves based on T/S specifications and can be used to compare boxes between a certain driver. You can find it for download all over google.

What budget are you working with? What electrical upgrades have you done/can you afford to do in your vehicle?

I hate it when people type in all caps.

+1 for making me LOL M5

For future reference, it's not always good practice to force an amp into protect mode again and again and again and again. The protection circuit exist, but usually can only take so much strain before they malfunction and then you have a real problem on your hands. This is what I've experienced at least.

Don't suppose here is any chance you know what shuriken battery he had?
