http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCYBqDfxBBU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=024Zq0KB6Ng&feature=youtu.be gonna make some more vids, still doing some tuning but it's definitely stronger...

How the police always side with the female, regardless of the situation. She ain't gonna fuck you, listen to fucking reason.

tangled ethernet cables. FUCK THAT JUST FUCK #*${T@)#(

that's what I thought when you shut that door lol, sounds solid man, good shit, I still have to get a demo will, I never even got to hear it with the vvxs

preciate it bro, I'm taking Ethan & his bro for a lil family father & son vacay to an amusement park Six Flags, hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOTHER door shut at .37 bro. Dig it man... job well done mang..... You need to take Ethen out for ice cream or some shit...lol. He did well. Both of ya did. Nice job bro....

That's a tough one to answer. The X-max of a dick through a screen would depend upon many variables. We need klippel to test this......

That's a tough one to answer. The X-max of a dick through a screen would depend upon many variables.

Could you do a comparison between soldered terminals, crimped lugs, and lugs/terminals that are squeezed on with a bench vice / some pliers? I have a crimper I could use to either loan out to you guys or make some connections on some wire and send that down

Id rather see a CCA and OFC race for the chase... Just me...

i can run the test.....but really, i can already bet there won't be any difference in the numbers. The crimp or the solder would have to be real bad for it to make that big of a difference in the test. I can hammer a terminal on the concrete and get just as good of a connection as anything else. The thing is, a few months later, it might fail. It might pull out. Longevity is the problem with a crap connection. Might work great today...but next week? The exposed strands that WERENT soldered might eventually corrode, causing a less then good connection EVENTUALLY. When i solder my wires, not only is it a proper solder, and BETTER then a crimp, the ends of the strands are also encapsulated. Encapsulated (sealed off) ends won't be able to corrode and will stay solid for life. IF YOU DO IT RIGHT. Also, in a pinch, if you need to use that terminal again, you can always heat it up and pull your wire back out, and use it again. Try that with a crimp. IMO, the best possible choice if you are a real stickler, is to solder AND crimp the big wires. I usually JUST solder though. **** FYI: I ONLY USE OPEN ENDED RING TERMINALS - im not speaking about the close ended ones....i hate those things.

Pic of one JUST finished!

I'm sorry if I missed it, but what the hell is a om-1

those are 12" frames and warden motors. this thread sucks fat dick.

this is classic... guy: what do you have in your car bro?! you: just 2 12's.. guy: nice nice, well i got 2 15's, JL audio! you: cool bro, so do you wanna hear my system? guy: sure, 12's normally hit pretty good, but not like 15's. you: ^lol

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.

when we moved to the single black cord instead of the red/blue/black wires, the color changed a little. The white one is now the remote. Inside the adapter, they are wired together but when you cut the cord, there is 3 separate ones. Its pretty simple. As simple as it gets

does XS measure their batteries by wattage like kinetic and stinger?...ive definitely already decided on XS but not sure what model... my setup: 04 cadillac escalade 6.0L crescendo bc2000d - (2) 12" Alpine type R's Alpine 600-4 - polk audio components in the front &coax in the back aftermarket 300amp alt. ...there are other details but just wana get the idea of how much power im using out there to get an accurate answer thanks!, hope someone can help me!

these guys are doing BIG things up in Delaware!! Welcome Defiant Audio! Of course, Hit up their shop if your in the area! Guys (D/A) when you see this, please post your info so people know how to find you!

what amps are you goin to run rusty and how much power?
