Congratz, 10 years is a long ass time, keep up the great...everything

bump this up this is a bump

Ordered up a 4 place and an 8 place, thanks Steve!

Looks better than factory, wow..... How do you think it would handle a MN winter from what you've read? What was total cost having someone else do it like that? PM me if need be Only certain people/places probably do it and none near me I bet, lol...........

Looks good man. Does your GF help with your audio adventures? lol

Post lots of pics. lol

They are saying about the same. Owner of Sundown in this thread.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/202681-any-new-2016-products/

Exactly a month later, everything all good now?

This is so fucking clean, I may have to copy it for my ride....I got the exact same vehicle engine bay engine or whatever but mine does not look *perfect* like yours......

How did you do the initial charge on it? Like when you got it in the mail, hook it to normal charger then put it into vehicle and all was well? I am assuming you have some XS Power AGM ran with it and no issues correct? You're supposed to be bale to use other batteries with them. Like for me I would have a D3400 under hood and Lithium in back. That lithium is sealed and doesn't gas out right? What does your alt charge at? cold when you first start vehicle does that Lithium see 15+ volts? What does it charge at hot (your alt) 14.8'ish? I am wanting to run 10k RMS in just substage and am a little worried I will make a S15k work out too much (is that possible?). Like DC power HO alt dedicated to only substage, D3400 under hood, 4 runs of OFC 1/0 front to back and only a XS Power S15k in back. If I stress that lithium too much what will happen?

Nucking Futz

sideshow_kustom, How are you liking the Lithium battery? Would you buy it again given the chance? Does the performance match the expectations? I know it was prolly hard to spend that much money on one battery to try it out but what are you thoughts? Equivalent to 5 G3100's ya think? same cost same performance but huge weight/space savings? or did it blow your expectations? Love it? never go back? I am thinking of getting one (if i need one) but that's a hefty price tag.

20% jeez cant beat that, thanks!!!!!!!

Run different RCA's over the interior one at a time to see, seems weird though that it comes through all speakers and your sub amp is in protect....=O

Process of elimination, unplug LC1 and go from there. unplug highs/mids amps one at a time. I have no idea what the problem could be just try and narrow it down if you don't have extra HU to try

tuned in as I am gonna be running this amp as well

ANOTHER transaction in the books with Orionstang and ANOTHER great experience. Items better than described, shipping was faster than it was supposed to be, prices cheaper than they should have been, yup, might buy from this seller again even if it's something I don't want just for the awesome experience.

I have had numerous vehicle professionally tinted and I know it goes on inside but hey, you never know (California) lol

what do you mean "we tint on the inside up here"? i don't get it. Oh, and thanks! oh sorry yes that.

looks killer with the tint, black on black on black on black with those rims and interior too, lol We tint on the inside up here.

Wow, just caught up from summer of 2015. a LOT of work going into that car, can't wait to see it painted... Inside is looking good too, sound deadener etc.

Good thread to read, especially post #10 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/204533-do-i-need-a-battery/#entry3100642

How much does your voltage drop? what does it drop down to? If you use amps that ACTUALLY put out that kind of wattage I would be curious to see what voltage you drop down to. If you use amps that don't actually put out the wattage you think they do then you may not need much else for electrical. Some people say that at 1000+ watts to upgrade alt but I think that is a little overkill personally. Takes power to make power but C'mon... If you already did the big 3, are adding a nice aftermarket battery underhood, run some decent wire from front to back (I would suggest one run of 1/0 OFC) and are using a 120 amp alt, if it was me I would see what your voltage drop is like after said and done, if it ends up dropping more than you like, add a small quality, aftermarket battery in back by the amps and for 1600 watts should do the trick IMO. Is alt PCM controlled and hot charge in the 13's?! Factory alt I'm assuming? What amps are you running? In the future, just as an FYI when you are saying how many watts you are running you should list your amps more so than the speakers wattage ratings. Also, go by the continuous (RMS) rating and not max power rating. Just because your speakers say 400 watts doesn't mean you will give them that. Some people might have subs that are rated for 3000 watts RMS but are only feeding them 2000 watts. Some people might have a lower grade name amplifier that says 2000 watts but realistically will only ever put out 1200 watts...... EDIT: other people will have other opinions. Hopefully more chime in, we both could learn something. Also, my advice is to stick around this forum for some time and learn some priceless info on car audio to set you straight. this is a GREAT place. I see your signature says you want to learn more. Please do some reading on here before you start your build or you may regret it...
