  1. Right, I see your point, when thinking about it again, I kind of agree generally. In your case I'm completely buying the reasoning. However, Im still not convinced that a cable needs close to stipulated max amperage to get hot. From vids I've seen no excessive amounts of current are required to over time (some 30mins I think it was) would still make a SIGNIFICANT difference to OFC wire even at (what I remember as: ) rather real-life experienced amperage. This is perhaps a bigger problem in my eyes than in yours, since our market over here has flooded with low cost low quality CCA wire the last couple of years, even if prices is not more than about 30% less expensive than OFC still. Some people are making a good deal out of low quality. Not enought people discuss material, but stick with what gauge the cable is. Keep the good work up! Cheers,
  2. Impressive & Inspiring! About the CCA vs OFC, I recon the issue is not only about amperage rating with regards to fusing, but the general heating over time which builds in the wire when current passes through. Ie, the wire eventually gets warmed up in a way that OFC does not, which causes voltage drop even if the fuses won't blow.
  3. A friend had 2x18 hdc3, pushing them wiht 6k each. No bad smell, no problems.... Really great woofers... I dont believe 3518s would handle it that well edit: That is clamped power!
  4. I've seen that happen.... that aint pretty.... luckely nobody was in the vehicle at the time... Should be mentioned it was not about burping @contest, but regular garage....
  5. Go for a regular ported box. Around 1200cm^2 ort, around 50cm length approximate volume (including woofer displacement, port displacement) = 450-550L. Will be tuned in the 32-34hz area. Will rock the shit out of most stuff. Now: I hope u didnt just get these woofers with less than +5kw power? and less than 5 batteries or HO alternator? Otherwise you are fucked.
  6. CTEK is truly great stuff! Check out their largest; US2500. http://smartercharger.com/products/batterychargers/ctek-multi-us-25000/ Anyone with more than 2-3 batteries should get one of these to regularly get some extra juice put in. Just plug in and let it be. HAndles up to 500Ah battery banks.
