thanks man i appreciate that. sorry guys, i still own the van but i am working on the Honda at the moment. Van = next. Plus, getting woofers from Scott is like ordering autographed American flags from Kim Jong UN.....

ordered my X-18's....RIP to my Corolla.

Having a second VM-1 can be a great tool. By plugging one into the 12V (lighter) outlet, you will be reading the voltage at battery/alternator basically because there is very little current flowing to the 12V lighter outlet. Voltage drop is calcuated by this formula Amps X Ohms = Volts, thus is you basically have zero amps flowing, you can not have a voltage drop, and thus you will be reading the battery/alternator voltage. HOWEVER, voltage AT your amplifier(s) can be a totally different thing. Huge currents can flow to the amplifier(s), even though the resistance of the wiring is small, it will still cause a voltage drop. I connected one VM-1 to my lighter, and one right at the amplifier's connections by lengthing the wires going to the VM-1 (you can make these as long as you like without causing any issues or voiding your warranty). With music and subwoofers, I see 0.8V - 1.2V lower at the amplifier. On the dyno I'm seeing 1.6V drop at the amplifier. 1/0 AWG is good, but it ain't that good. I am pretty confident that most people who try this will be very surprised how much voltage drop at the amplifier they have. I challange you to measure yours and post your results. By having multiple units you can check your system like this, and try to correct it by using better distribution/fuses and wiring. If you are wondering, the basic formula for how much more power your amplifier would make with different battery voltage is ((Higher battery voltage / lower battery voltage) ^2 ) x how much power you made at the lower voltage Example, I just dyno'd the T2500.1bdcp in my Jeep. It did 2365 watts into 1 ohm with the battery voltage AT THE AMP at 12.24Vdc. If I could keep 12.6Vdc at the amplifier, the amp should dyno this much power: ((12.6V / 12.24V) ^2 x 2365 watts) This works out to 2506 watts at 12.6V. Rockford rates their power at 14.4V so, clearly this amplifier makes rated power @ 1 ohm and then some. If by some act of God I could keep 13.8V at the amplifier I could get that amp to put out: ((13.8V / 12.24V) ^2 x 2365 watts) This works out to 3006 watts. Now this is only true if you have an amplifier with an unregulated power supply. Some amplifiers, like JL slash series for instance, have fully regulated supplies so this math doesn't apply. Those amplifiers will put out the same power reguardless of the battery voltage within a resonable range.

BassMunky, if you'll read THIS post that was made before you commented. I have heard and read Steve HIMSELF say VEHICLE OFF

Here is a little gift from Psyph to all of you.....he is working on "the making of a morrison volume 2", and wanted you guys to have a little teaser of whats to come. If you like it, let him know, im sure he will chime in here. He gets off work at 10pm tonight so he wont be on for a few. Anyway, i havent tried it in the Tahoe yet but i did try it on the towers and this song SLUMPS! C/S guys, Decaf......lets see your work on this one. If you ask me this one is begging to be chopped/screwed!! enough talk, here is the link......enjoy.

I'm not going to flame you dude like everybody else but I will say that I grew up with nothing and saw those kids in school that had and got everything they wanted.My mom struggled just to keep food on the table.That made me want to do something with my life and be able to make sure that my kids are the ones that get what they want because I know how it feels to see others with stuff you want.If your telling me that my hard work making enough money to provide for my kids so they don't want for anything is wrong then you sir have a problem.Yeah maybe those kids parents were rich but they worked for the money they have.I had my first ride I purchased on my own broken into and It hurt me to see my car like that with everything missing.Rather your rich or poor when you lose something it hurts.Next time think about what your saying before you say it.

i am not sure what is so funny about seeing people upset after being vandalized and having their stuff stolen. When someone takes your stuff its like having your heart ripped right out of your body. Ever happen to you?
