Just more proof of media manipulation. The Man wants us to hate eachother.

Yes it is CCA wire, and before anyone goes on a OFC vs CCA thing again here is why... I bought this wire a couple years ago when I was on Team Audio Technix. I got a good price on the wire and bought a lot of it, but all the smaller 8 and 4 gauge wires I also got was used a long time ago. So with me running the CCA wire I was able to get a lot higher amperage handling compared to OFC wire for about half the cost (even with the team member price discount I could of gotten as well on the OFC wire). Yes I will need more runs of CCA compared to OFC but its half the price and only double the runs. When I fuse my wires I fuse for safety not for the wires rated amperage load like most do. If I do end up fusing to small and blow the fuses than I buy the next bigger size in fuses. Its a lot cheaper and easier than dealing with a vehicle being burnt to the ground. If I remember correct the wire is rated at 250amps for a 20foot run of wire. My runs are 19 feet long. So here is some quick simple math, now that the cheaper in price thing was said. I plan to fuse each positive wire in the front and the back (between both the front and rear battery banks) with either 150, 175, or 200 amp fuse. Not sure which yet For this breakdown I will use the 150amps per run which will not even come close to stressing the wire what so ever. So 9 runs of positive wire at 150 amps per run will total me 1350 amps of current and not even stressing the CCA wire one bit! I have 3 DC Power 390XP alternators capable of doing 390 amps of current each when cold which is the most they will do since the amperage output drops significantly when they are hot. So the 3 alternators come to a total of 1170 amps of current. So already I got 180 amps of overhead and once the alternators are hot I will get even more overhead. Now if this wire can truly handle 250 amps of current per 20foot run, it will handle slightly more being only 19foot runs. Even though I will be most likely fusing at 150amps per run the fuses will handle slightly more current before blowing. 9 runs at 250amps per run is 2250 amps of current these positive wires can handle. Run for run OFC wire will walk all over CCA wire, but unless the ratings of the CCA wire are completely false 2 runs of CCA should be able to handle more current than the single OFC wire and still be half the cost (at least in my case it was). Sure Id have to run less OFC wire, but since room for the wire is not an issue and the same could be done with CCA I used CCA. I will be using OFC wire from my alternators to my 2 front XS Power S3400's. I will also be using OFC wire from my rear batteries to my amplifiers. I will also be using OFC wire for my speaker wires for my woofers. These are the 3 areas where I feel OFC wire will benefit me more, and wont empty out the wallet.

Thee CCA wire will not get hot if its not being stressed.. It has a 250amp rating at 20feet, im running 19foot runs. Im fusing for 150amps most likely, therefor if there is an issue the fuse should blow long before a 250amp fuse. Depending on the fuses, they will most likely blow someplace around 175-200 amps if an issue ever pops up. At that point its still long before exceeding the limit of the wire. OFC wire as well can get warm and even hot to the point it melts of the rubber casing when you exceed the amperage limit of the wire, so that is kind of a moot point. Run for run OFC will win, however its not run for run of wire, its multiple 9 runs of CCA wire that costs half as much of 4 runs of ofc and carries the same amount of current, and with all these runs I am only needing each cca wire to handle around 150amps to satisfy the demand of the power i can make under the hood.

If Jacob rates it at 5k then it will take 5k+. /thread

there needs to be a lot more young men like this one in the video. unfortunately he is outnumbered. we are all brothers in my eyes,we just don't all realize it.

It seems like it's going to be judged on this boy's character more than on what really happened. Truth be told this doesn't affect me since I already know that cops are going to get away with whatever they want, no matter what color the cop is or the victim. We're on one level and law enforcement is above that. It's just this version with the race being what it is makes for better headlines.

some of the cleanest MDF cuts ive seen in a while. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Dont care what you have to say about 5k rms to the sub. What EMF told me. Not sure why you bother replying here. You have no info on the sub so keep it to yourself. As I was asking sundown anyways to make sure what EMF told me is right.

I can 100% vouch for this. If you're near the ho-stroll or the dope house areas and are white you'll get fucked with by police really quick. My best friend, who happens to be one of 3 white friends that I have (lol, just kidding) gets it the worst when we go out. I remember one time in 100 degree weather and I know this cop was riding around all day, pulled us over. Me and a few friends, 2 of which are the only black friends I have (kidding again) had our finger tips barely touching the hood of the officer's car when he searched us. When he went over to my boy who is white, he shoved his face on the hood, started talking all types of shit to him and took like ten minutes to search him. Let's just say I was thankful I wasn't white that day.

Was you scratching your arm and looking all over the place with a look of paranoia?

Shit like this is why retards get beaten, tasered, and shot. Protip: The place to fight the police is IN COURT not on the streets while trying to "keep it real". If you take on a 90 IQ steroid freak with a badge and gun and dozens of friends who are the same you will lose. Honestly I have a couple friends that are in law enforcement and I can tell you that even decent guys after a few years of 40+ hour weeks dealing with the absolute dregs of humanity get a bit jaded, so even the "decent" ones can give you trouble if you go out of your way to be an asshole or win an argument with them. (And yes, I can count my cop friends so it's easier to keep track of them). Do not provoke them, do not run, do not make threatening gestures or fast unexpected movements. "I want to speak to a lawyer" should be the only words you say to them beyond identifying yourself. Your words are gospel truth. As a black man i have been harrassed by the police for no reason many times... Thats just comes with being black. I was pulled over in an all white suburb once ...frisked .. car searched and given a ticket for " driving with no apparent destination" Court threw that right out ofcourse. I wanted to call them every name in the book... but instead I followed the cops commands and let my lawyer deal with anything else... I am not giving the cops any reason to shoot me down or beat me down or lock me up for some fake charge. Usually if you treat them with respect and dont let them goad u into anything...all you have with them is a polite conversation.

I got you Ahmed, I like to hear these opinions though. I'll form my own or not form one at all. Just wish people were color blind.

I skimmed over this thread, and the race thing keeps coming up. It pisses me off. I grew up in a city full of hispanic and asian gangs, and guess who the cops shot all the time? Hspanics and asians. Now, I live in a very nice city. It is mostly white, but guess who the drug dealers and trash are? Whites. Guess who gets beat down here? Whites. Its all demographics and statistics in my eyes. I hope you all get the just of my statement, so I don't have to try and put my confusing thoughts into words.

so its this bad now. what happens when the cop is cleared?

shooting your way into a store with 100 other savages and laughing having a good time destroying and steeling everything in sight is really a great way to grieve. Sorry, i just hate thieves so much. I also hate race-baiters. the situation is just sickening.

i can't wait for these dumb ass motherfuckers to wake up one day in the next few weeks hungry, thirsty and in need of basic goods such as toilet paper......and realize there is no stores. Eat a leaf, shit a leaf, wipe with a leaf. Even the dumbest dog is smart enough not to shit in his own kennel. I hope they never reopen those stores. If i owned a business there i wouldn't. Let them get a ride 50 miles to the nearest 7-11. And don't tell me it was all outsiders. I saw the video's. Might be a few but, no doubt it was 99% locals. They don't care about that kid, they just want to do what they do best...act like mindless thugs and opportunistic THIEVES. Enjoy your tore up city. and we STILL don't know whether or not he actually attacked the officer first. I am still waiting to see myself. Regardless, why can't everyone be upset that ANY PERSON got killed by the police (if he was in fact innocent)? Why does EVERY fucking thing have to be about race? Reading some of the asinine comments on the internet about this situation makes me sick.

dont know if its meant with what i post but i did say ghetto people.. we have ghetto Mexicans ghetto Blacks and even Whites.. what gets you shot is your actions not you color.. seen many races get shot by cops.. people need to stop feeling victimized and saying it because its the color of the skin. sometimes it may be but not always the case? when have you heard people being killed by cops in the Good cities where people act responsible? only ones i heard are the ones who are in an act of a crime.. im Hispanic and i dont feel victimized by the cops or burn down my city because Sgt. Smith killed my neighbor. doing such act is taking a step back. people need to use their heads and act like humans and not like criminals.. people wont take you serious and its only making your race look bad.. again, im not talking race specific just in general.. you think i was involved in the protest Mexicans had a month ago and burning the US flag? no i was not. i didn't want part of it as it only makes us look bad as a community.. i refuse to take steps back and we need to make a change by proving we are civilized as a nation

i just read this whole thread, and all i can say is it brings me down! i don't really know anyone on this forum personally,and i read way more stuff than i post, just to gain audio knowledge. but i must say that reading all these comments i kinda get a feel for who everyone is,and how they think.im not taking sides because i only believe in whats right,and we don't know that right now.this is just plain sad,we are definitely not who we thought we were as a nation,but i already knew that.the best thing a person can do is educate and better themselves,and the rest will follow.

well aint i embarrassed i work for a plumbing wholesaler and never thought of using the fittings for a grommet... tweeter mounts and just about every other thing i have considered just not that. thanks man!

Well we may disagree their slightly, in my opinion, it's much harder working that 9-5 job for a small paycheck,insurance, house payments, utilities and worrying about various other bills, feeding and clothing the kids and such. Plus have to protect and worry about someone taking your shit. Not that easy when you think about it. Majority of hard working americans make just enough to get buy on.You should know if your a parent, trying to make your kids understand the right way of living. When they see thugs and guys youll ever criminals not working, selling drugs and such, with a boat load of cash. new cars, gold dripping of there chains etc. I regret to inform you that the majority of drug dealers in bad neighboorhoods are not living the life of luxury my friend. It's the ones you don't hear about living in middle class neighborhoods that are your friends and neighbors that move major weight and you never even had a clue they did it till you see them in the news. Girlfriends uncle worked with a guy doing maintenance and a high end apartment complex making $20 an hour always had bad ass cars owned a bunch of houses always said he just invested his money right to get so wealthy off a $20 an hour job well turned out yeah he invested in running a major dope operation he was moving 200lbs of weed every couple weeks. trust me this guy was no thug and you would never suspect he was the type for it dorky as can be and one of the nicest guys you would ever meet would give you the shirt off his back we never even had a clue till he got busted his grown adult kids didn't even know.

I don't think it's harder living the righteous life. Actually it's easier. I don't worry about being robbed jumped or shot. I get GUARANTEED money every 15th and 30th, my kids are hella suburban and don't know shit about missing meals. Yep, living right is way easier bro.

Ok,I just cannot understand how this country,as a whole,is suppose to be moving forward,yet,there's so many people still going backward's.You cannot help ignorance,and people who thrive on misery.We have the first African American president in this country's history,but I guess some people don't realize how important that is.Instead,there's those who want to stay negative,angry,and feel like they deserve silver and gold.Really?Why?You want this country to take care of you,yet,you will not take care of it,wow,way to go there.Try living in some third world country,see how that goes for you.If you feel strongly unjustified,educate yourself.Fight back with wisdom,not ignorance.

when you bum rush someone your head is down and forward of your body ... So a top of the head shot wouldn't be surprising. if his head was down, and he was running towards the cop, wouldn't the shot have exited out the back of his head somewhere?

when you bum rush someone your head is down and forward of your body ... So a top of the head shot wouldn't be surprising. Not me, left foot in front of me and right fist launching at the person when I run up on someone.

I got a criminal record, and both of my brother's have criminal records. Now, my youngest brother only has posts of weed and beer bottles, no guns or gang signs. My brother who just came home from prison back in June only has pics of him in suits and ties and shit. My facebook only has my kids. I wouldn't go judging someone's social media page for their true character.

I'm not defensive, I don't know what happened. I don't look at it as he was racist, I've seen officers escalate situations higher than they need to be just cause it seems like they were having a bad day. They are people to. I'm just against the idea that pulling some pics off of his facebook helps you determine his true character. I mean look at rappers now a days, how many of them do you really believe to be homicidal drug king pins? But they sure can paint a helluva picture of it

What exactly are you saying? I'm just trying to understand the point your trying to make. It seems as though you are determined to try to paint a negative image of this kid. But for what? Pics with teenagers putting up middle fingers is normal in this age group, or at least something I've seen plenty of... And posts about wanting to shoot cops for killing their friend in what at least they view in a unjustified manner wouldn't surprise me out of any person, and I'm sure nobody is worried about them since about 99.9% chance that they wont act on those ideas. And honestly even in my opinion he doesn't look too much nicer in the school pic than any of the other ones lmao. But that was a serious question though, what exactly are you trying to prove? Edit - I guess I'm saying he looks like a normal teenager to me

because there are no consequences for anything that the police have done.. Period

Possible theory.Did they show any pics of blood spattered all over the inside of the cop car? And the autopsy report i read they stated that the bullets didn't seem to be shot from very close range since there was no gun powder present on his body They still are unsure of distance because the clothes have not been examined yet. Emotions and Tension is entirely to high for this to be fair on either side, people's true colors (on both sides) do come out when stuff like this happens but I am going to continue to wait for the facts to come out and pray for the family because no matter who he was it has to be heart wrenching to bury a child.

really this shit hurts my heart.. Goes to show you that there is still an underlying race issue in America. Deeper than what most throught... Way deeper than what some thought.

there is now a "reward" collection being taken up for the officer.. the supporters for the officers are now starting to come up front.. this is going to get really ugly.. wow.. just fucking wow... edit: so i dont get labeled as a racist there are also collections being taking up for the family as well.. but a reward fund for the officer because they believe he did a good job.. fucking wow..

Never said that. What I DID say though is sometimes people are not how they're always perceived. Nate for example, is in IT however, like he said, has a passion for guns and such. That doesn't make him a bad person, but the point I was trying to convey was your perception of someone isn't always what It seems. I don't want to get attacked on this because I do think this kid probably pulled a stunt like "why are you harassing me" or was confrontational is some manner. my comments above were for the same of being devils advocate about the police officer.

This is some phenominal work all around!! Very jealous of your cutting skills and most of all your router bit set...damn those are nice! where did you buy them?

means more when its built not bought! Good job Brian do werk son

I'm sure the Team Sundown will be fine on 5kw...free air.

^I'm pretty sure this thread, or forum for that matter, isn't a place to to troll. And btw, sundown rocks!

Just remember.... Built, NOT BOUGHT, ok JP!

I made a giant penis.... LOL After testing pieces and re-checking angles, had to shave it down a little bit, angle was way to much. Ha Decided I could squeeze more space in the rear yet, so added a 5inch strip all around, which gained me about 5.75 cubic feet of space (of coarse that will shrink once I start layering)...
