Thought i would throw this together since im wiring up some batteries over in my build section. Ive had a few people ask me how i do it so here it is. This stuff is going into a PURE SPL Honda CRX. It will burp not play music very well. Anyway here is the soldering portion of the install. Here it is sorta "mocked up" how its going to be in the rex. Those are Kinetic 2400's Using ALL Rockford 1/0.....of course! Trimmed back about 1/2" and a 1/0 lug slapped on Grab you a decent propane torch and some solder. I use 60/40 rosin core solder. This will take practice but you will feel like you know something if you get the hang of it. I always get it nice and hot before starting. But i never use the flame itself to melt the solder. Heat up the BACK side of the lug preferably up higher by the hole at first. This allows the solder to melt up higher and slide down and into the wire pocket. This also saves you from melting the crap out of the wire jacket. you want to feed the wire and lug by pushing it against the hot surface and NOT the flame itself.......just keep pushing, get as much as you can in there without making it slip out the bottom and dripp everywhere. I do this until it is flat smooth puddle of shiny solder on the top. The trick is you need that wire to wick the solder or its no good. Now i heat it up toward the bottom of the lug until i see the wire underneath pull the solder into it. Pull back so it goes down gently and then let it cool a little bit. The wire should be saturated in solder now. Now i thow another pool over the top by heating up the lug up by the top hole again and letting it fall down into a smooth flat surface. Make sure it fuses with the lug all the way around and your done.

Amps have started to ship. We have to test each amp before it leaves the shop so it does take a little bit to get all of the pre sale amps shipped

Aside from getting tensil lead slap do they really need to be sewed down at this point? I would just add some strong glue to where they enter the cone and where the connect to the terminals and call it a day. trying to stitch them back on I would be afraid you may cause a problem in the process. And a level 6 12 being completely experimental anyways I would just leave it.

If they will send you 2 more 3500s to try out, I would at least give it a shot. I have seen amps come out of the box that test out fine on the bench, but just get a little screwy when installed. Usually something in the protection circuit is bad that doesnt show up until you start trying to turn it up. You should see a small gain if you can get the 3500s to work correctly. Also I would try adding dual inputs for the amps if you havent already. Everytime I have added duals, I have seen a .4-.5db gain.

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, hide yo daughter cause n8 is hacking errybody out here! Edit: https://www.3kings.com/default.aspx Looks like they know you know, they took down the sundown stuff.

I love watching n8 work.

they are well protected at least information wise. website is hosted in kansas company is registered out of jacksonville florida and registered C/O his lawyer. in other words you cant reach him without the legal team because of client confidentiality. IMO thats when you know you are doing something shady. I do have an 800 number to reach the company as well as the web hosting guys number and name. just depends on how much you really want tthem to stop selling.

I fronted Will the amps for the swap, so he isn't out anything :-), nonetheless seemed strange to us as well, we should figure it out and get you new 3500's because in theory they should work where the 2500's are strapped. Not sure what is possibly going on with the 2 we sent, but I have no issue swapping them.

Hell no. That's stupid, you don't reward a company for doing shady shit.

It seems like yesterday that I got a call from a giggling Steve Meade about a demo at which some "chick's eye popped out" . . . Success is always about timing. Steve, your timing has always been excellent.

We heard you the first 3 times.
