DCR reads .7 but the load on the amp is still 1 ohm

When I put a dmm on the terminals on the outside of my box it reads .5 ohm.

Ok regardless. When you wire 3 dual 1 subs they wire to .67 load. Now when I add a second amp I will wire them to what 12volt says will give me a 1.5 load making each amp see a .75 load. At .75 or .5 they will be drawing more than I have now and need more battery power.

Personally, I' rather have a matching batt bank.

I really like diehard plats. That's what I have for my main battery. Awesome warranty and sears is right down the road.

They have a friends and family night every month with special discounts on everything. November was yesterday haha.

153.0@37hz headrest in Meca yesterday. Did a 131.0 in Park & Pound DB4. That was on 300amp of fusing.

Two 1st place trophies, best truck and best install medals as well. I really want to pull a 55 at the headrest though.

Now its time to add more batteries, distro blocks, more 2/0, add the second 5500 and also incorporate this DD 2 channel amp I have to run just the tweeters while the 4 channel runs the mids. Also gonna be doing my doors and will probably be running all Rockford Pro Audio gear soon. Crescendo cant seem to keep anything in stock so I will probably switch tweeters too. Will more than likely have 3 6.5's in each door and one or two tweeters in each door. Whichever one disgust M5 the most is what I will probably go with. lmao

Man after seeing this build your making me jealous I sold you the 5500!

Good shit bro

Thanks for selling me a good amp. lol Cant wait to see how 2 act

Congrats on the score and trophies!

I don't know why M5 would be disgusted. He helped design the supertweeter. He wanted a tweeter that mated perfect to a 10" mid. I also believe his rule of thumb is 2 to 1 ratio. So if you plan on 2 mids per door that would equate to 4 supertweeters. You can do a 1 to 1 but that wouldnt be a true sq setup. That would be more of a ""SQL"". Which is a phrase he coined as well I believe.

maybe 5 3100's with a good batt under the hood

I have a 3100 under the hood and 3 in the back on one [email protected] and the voltage is pretty good

If I got a 2nd I'd want to add a couple more 3100's

Hey Swift, anything over a 130.0 in Park n Pound is great.

You makin me not wanna finish my build now... lol.

I got something that's in the way right now but as soon as i am able to finally cut it out completely, my build will be progressing.. how should i say it? Fast? Near completion type fast,

Picked up 4 of the Die Hard Platinum 31's today. Now have 8 batteries total. Should be enough I hope. Those batteries are kick ass!

Good scores bro!

It's a Mac sighting =-O

Got Power?

Thinking this will be the new amp placements

Decided to start getting everything out and get this going. I will be doing some very loud doors while its all out aswell.

Looks great swift!

Anxious to see the results.

Did you manage to fit all the batteries under the floor or are they going in the tool box?

Which concerto amp is that?

Looks damn good mane

The new amp is a C1100.4 to run the front doors. Gonna be doing a large very loud front stage. All Rockford Punch Pro Audio. All batteries are going in tool box. 4 Die Hards and 2 3400's in the tool box and the other 3400's under the hood. I hope thats enough battery power. I think I may order some Knu Krystal RCA's. Now I just have random shit in there, some are tsunami, rockford and maybe even a Memphis set. lol

That's awesome buddy!

I can't wait to hear what you think of the fosgate pros. no one in michigan has them. love the new equipment you're getting

Decided to just make my own bus bars. The trick will be making them for the Die hard batteries as I have .5in thick Aluminum and only .5in studs.

Nice updates man.

These are the copper bars I got in to use as my fuse blocks. They were suppose to be 2in wide but these are only 1.5in wide. I still think this will work. I have a 3rd bar that will be used for the ground block. 6 runs of power to the block from battery bank and 4 runs going to amps and 1 run to the 4 channel. Bad thing is I cant run dual inputs on the amps unless I double up lugs. These will be mounted on pass side when you open the rear doors for easy access.

The ground block will have 5 runs coming off the amps and 4 2/0 runs from there going to the frame where they meet the 4 ground runs off the battery bank. I hope this will be efficient. This will be mounted on the driver side when you open the rear door aswell.

That' should be beast then.

At Home Depot they sell the copper screw down terminals that you can use to terminate 2 1/0 wires in a single terminal. Not sure if they make it for 2/0 but that would work if you wanted to run dual inputs off a single terminal.

After hours and hours of labor I basically have the copper power fuse blocks, copper ground block, battery terminals, and XS bus bars done. I will have to run jumpers on the Die Hard batteries unless I buy wide copper buss bars but I dont think its needed. Jumpers will go parallel and will also have runs going straight to fuse block and ground block/frame from each battery too. After spending hours among hours doing all this shit myself its very rewarding when each step is done.

No I can finally start cutting on the truck and running all the 2/0 under truck and up into bed / tool box, through the floor into cab and get the blocks mounted, amps mounted. Then I can focus on the front stage.

damn son, do work
