December 16, 201113 yr how was your voltage after playing for a while with the 3 3100s? I'll be running 2 HC2400's on my 5500 with a yellow top up front!Question for the electricians.. lol.. I would like to run bus bars on the batteries themselves, except my batteries will be laying down. is it okay to bend the bus bars like this |_| (except flipped over.. as in the flat part on top) and run all my +/- to the middle of both batteries? Would that work or is that just a horrible idea? lol
December 16, 201113 yr Author Never dropped below 13.And I think that idea would work. Just more fabricating. And make sure the bars wont touch anything that could ground them.
December 16, 201113 yr Author naw they are quiet. just drove for an hour and a half listening to varius music and neither the zcons or the bc5500 got evevR warm
December 16, 201113 yr naw they are quiet. just drove for an hour and a half listening to varius music and neither the zcons or the bc5500 got evevR warmTook a TEN hour drive from nashville to dallas and BTL or PA3000bd got warm either should say something about Hand built woofers EH?
December 17, 201113 yr can anyone else confirm 100% if what I said would work about bus bars?... Just want to make sure before I do all the bending, etc.
December 17, 201113 yr Author you may get more of a response making a thread instead of asking in a build log. but i dont really see it being a problem.
December 17, 201113 yr american made ftwFTW! im glad you like them look, they look loud, i like the flexx going on can anyone else confirm 100% if what I said would work about bus bars?... Just want to make sure before I do all the bending, etc. yes it will work.... ive seen them done like that before... just make sure like liljestrand said that theres nothing around that can ground them out... maybe build a battery box ??

December 17, 201113 yr why are you clogging up someone elses build log with questions about YOUR stereo?
December 17, 201113 yr not meaning to clog up his build log, just asked a question since he was on the topic of batts and such, wanted his input since we are using the same/equivalent equipment on the question I had since he seems to know what hes doing since his build looks awsome so far!
December 17, 201113 yr Author you could do what i did and make bars that you wire to. would prolly be cheaper and less of a chance of grounding things.
December 17, 201113 yr might be an idea! I'll see what kind of room I have left since I'm quite tight for space but if you have pics of what you did for bus bars it would be very helpful!
December 17, 201113 yr you could do what i did and make bars that you wire to. would prolly be cheaper and less of a chance of grounding things.are the bars you have pre-drilled aluminum?
December 17, 201113 yr Author Well I had a coworkers neighbor make em. Basically aluminum bar stock with holes drilled. Bass_4_ever just look at the pics I have of my batteries. Its just 1/2" aluminum bars screwed to a board.
March 24, 201213 yr Author Update time.So next thursday I will be meeting up with some team nwspl guys to build the new box. So I had to get a rush on with the rest of this stuff.zcon on the left and sp4 on the right.xcon zcon sp4crescendo 1100.4bc5500 and 1100.4This will be the placement in the spare tire area with some modifications.Lift for the 5500. Did this to run the 2/0 cable under and also so the dual inputs can safely sit over the 1100.4With the stand in.gutting the car to run the 2/0inside viewthe 3 new runs of 2/0 i ran so 4 total...this was not easy to get into the firewallcables inside.I called it good there for tonight. Was getting pretty sore with all that bending and pulling.Still gotta put everything back into place...run 1 more set of rca's and 2 more sets of wires. Install the crescendo pa mids.
March 24, 201213 yr looking good, I think th SP4 motor should have been bigger considering the coil size
March 24, 201213 yr looking good, I think th SP4 motor should have been bigger considering the coil sizeagreed... its weird how the SP4 and the Zcon look like they have the same motor...
March 24, 201213 yr looking good, I think th SP4 motor should have been bigger considering the coil sizeagreed... its weird how the SP4 and the Zcon look like they have the same motor...Ironic?All SSA motors look nearly identical to Fi models.
March 24, 201213 yr Author From the looks of it they look exactly the same tbh....just different sized coils...i could be wrong though.
