November 14, 200816 yr Author I should add tonight that my charging system seems to be working out great. . .I charged all the batts overnight with the Powermaster charger, and with the van running (mechman 250 amp alt), voltage held steady at 14.6-14.7 even while I ran sweeps in the 140+ dB range. Love the alt and the battery charger. Charger is awesome if you have a large battery bank!Brian

November 14, 200816 yr Author Ring terminal on one end (already connected), bare on the other end. . .Will not happen again!!!
November 15, 200816 yr Author Actually, I started the build back when finals were in NE and I would not be attending, but I have thrown it together the last two weeks to attend, since they are in Dallas.But, I have an issue that I am going to have to fix, and it will not be tonight. It is not going to bass race near what I hoped. . . It burps great, but does not play music as good. . .
November 15, 200816 yr Author Here is this (rolling burp @ 42 Hz), but it will not be near this on Sunday. . .
