Out of curiosity where did you ground the battery at and where did you connect to engine block at? I'm doing the big 3 on my blazer this week and was looking around under there but didn't see a good place to ground batt within 3 ft of post, thinkin I may have to have a longer negative run and tap a hole in the frame, looks like that's what you did?

Ah ok. Yeah I purchased mine January '12, thing was flawless with straight body and only needed new tires. But like I said, I was young and dumb and didn't do my research, ended up paying $7500 including taxes, title, fees, and new tires. Only had 85k original miles one owner when I purchased tho. Sucks to see me go for the 3-4k range now tho

I only use mobile for the viewing of this forum, and while trying to log on the last few days I received a message (#2000 I believe) saying "your are not allowed to visit this community". And it wouldn't let me pull up my messages or do anything really. So I e-mailed big Steve and didn't hear back, but I figured I'd try logging in again today and it worked just fine. I'm just curious if my username was suspended or if I did something wrong or if there was just site maintenance going on? Because if I did do something to deserve a vacation I would like to know what it was so I can learn/grow and not make the same mistake again. thanks

In my buddys install we are working on, we wanted to run the 5k. Problem is, this is also a speed oriented car with the audio being secondary on the list of priorities. This won't be a daily driver by any means. Anyways, we are working with the restriction of an upgraded alt and and upgraded starter battery and nothing more (batt mounted in trunk). That being said, we thought the 3.5k may be less strenuous on the electrical. I just noticed the 3.5k is capable of 5,100 watts at 18 volts. My question is if we get an externally regulated alt and a 16v battery, will running the amp at a higher voltage cause more electrical strain then running the same amp at say 14.4 volts (12 volt battery)?
