Met up with Jpagan to tune my setup with his new DD1. After tuning he recorded a little bit of flex for me since I don't have a camera. Thanks Joe! This entire system cost me less then $1000 so be easy on me System rundown 2 Sundown SA 12 D2. 4 cubes tuned to 35hz Audiopipe 1500 @ .5ohm Alpine Head unit from 2002! 2 Deka group 9A31's All Knukonceptz wiring

Now all you need to do is stop worrying about the rain and use it!

This certainly could have ended in tragedy

You should do the same thing then. Post up results of keep your mouth shut, especially if you're not 100% certain on what you're talking about. My amp got EXTREMELY hot running it at .5 ohms on just 1 battery. Now I have 3 group 31 batteries and it stays nice and cold. I couldn't tell you what it's pushing out for power but I enjoy it so far. I have the 1500 btw

if someone could build a 3-way crossover that would make things much easier

6's are 8 ohm. 4's are 4 ohm. tweeters are 8 ohms. If I wired the 6's and 4's together I wouldn't be able to run run them at different frequencies, correct?

Can I somehow run 6 speakers on one 4 channel amp? I'd like to run two 6's, two 4's, and two tweeters. Or would just a nice 6" mid and tweeter be enough?

So what if the Deka doesn't fit up front?

Great point. I just went outside to take measurements and it will be extremely close. I'll have to wait until they get here to be sure. The date on the battery I have now says January 09. Resting voltage is around 12.6

Makes perfect sense. What would qualify as "shot"? I'll do some testing with the DMM today.. Just don't know what to look for as far as the battery being dead. The car starts fine. The majority of songs at full tilt on the highway don't bring the voltage below 13.8-13.9 with the exception of Decaf songs and a few random songs. At idle and full tilt on the loudest songs the voltage will see 12.0-12.1 on certain notes but will always jump back up to mid 14's as soon as I hit mute or pause Here's a few videos from today of the voltage at my normal listening volume. Please excuse the garbage iPhone mic

Okay so I purchased the 2 Deka's. Now the new question is... Do I run one up front and one in the back or do I leave the stock Honda battery up front and run the 2 Deka's in the back???

Okay so the dimming will not stop. I can live with it as long as I know the rest of the audio world is dealing with the same issue. I can get HID's at cost so I may go that route. I'm sort of against buying a HO alt because I'm one of those people who can't keep a car for more then 4-5 months so the chances of me buying another 98-02 accord and being able to transfer a $600 alt is VERY slim and I have zero room for a second alt. The seller of the batts said the oldest stamp he's seen on any of this batteries he's sold in the past year is 2008 which I'm fine with. 99% sure I'll be buying two of them tonight

Yes $240 for the pair. Is there any way to tell if they are really old just by pictures? Also how do you connect a regular automotive post to the battery? I've been trying to find out but came up with nothing. That last part about the dimming is a complete bummer. Is there anyway to fix that at all?

So my two options are a new Kinetik hc2000 for $235 shipped or 2 used Deka 9A31 batteries for $240 shipped. Deka's rest at 12.5V. I wasn't going to upgrade my electrical anytime soon but the headlight dimming is driving me absolutely insane EDIT: Okay so I purchased the 2 Deka's. Now the new question is... Do I run one up front and one in the back or do I leave the stock Honda battery up front and run the 2 Deka's in the back???

I just bought 2 used sa-12's for $300

Which glue should I go with?? http://www.lowes.com/pd_88042-18562-62000_0__?productId=3121069&Ntt=wood+glue&Ns=p_product_price|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNs%3Dp_product_price|1%26Ntt%3Dwood%2Bglue&facetInfo= http://www.lowes.com/pd_627-970-1413_0__?productId=1094969&Ntt=wood+glue&Ns=p_product_price|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNs%3Dp_product_price|1%26Ntt%3Dwood%2Bglue&facetInfo=

That was probably the most useful response I've ever seen. Thanks!

I'm looking for something I can pick up at Lowes or Home Depot. Links would be great!

I would LOVEEEEE to see a 20B rotary swapped into a GM G-body

I put a gnx powertrain into a rx-7 a few years ago for shits and giggles. one of my worst ideas ever

It would be nice if you posted a link

Not my truck but god damn do I wish it was! I just found the video while looking around youtube. I'm also confused about how nice the highs sound with only those 6.5's visible. Anyone know this truck?? Are there a bunch of mids and highs hidden somewhere?

This shit gets down!

You just surpassed me in the nicest bike category! Very happy to see the CK stuff on there but those outboard BB's are wayyyyy too much money IMO. I do have some Ti frame/fork sets sitting in my shed from the mid-80's I should take some pictures of Speed M20 XXL frame Sinz Pro Lite Plus forks Thomson stem Fly JB bars Shimano DXR cranks 180mm Hawk Racing BB JW 4-bolt 40T Profile Mini hubset with Ti driver 14T Alienation Deviant & Runaway Tioga Powerblocks 1.95/1.75 Selle Italia SLR Thomson post & Profile clamp Shimano DXR lever and XTR brakes Just installed the new forks and the bike now weighs under 20lbs. 19.7 to be exact. I shaved off 10 ounces in the forks alone. They are the new Sinz Pro Lite Plus which is the same fork and race as the pro lite but with a chromoly steerer tube and a 195lb weight limit

The car looks good. what are you audio plans for it? I had something very similar but mine was a special edition gs-r. same year and color combination, except some asshole put the steering wheel on the wrong side
