    What up, my name is Brian aka onlyusemeblade, know Steve through Youtube, I have a YouTube channel same name, not trying to promote it. I am caddy guy, 34 years old on my forth Cadillac. 2008 dts, about to have system from my 99 fleetwood put in my dts. Wanted to say hello 

    Checked out your channel, good stuff. You're pretty funny. Subed to show support. Hope you find some useful info on this site. Lots of knowledgeable people on here. 

  7. Epoxy onto D pro?

    I have my 4 channel amp on the floor behind the passenger seat not even mounted down lol. Just through some blankets over it so I don't get jacked =_=. It doesn't even over heat!

    I would be concerned with that, in the event of an accident, it would become a projectile. I know it's under a seat but if it were to fly forward it could hurt someone in your passenger seat. I mean at the end of the day it's your car/amps/passengers but just as a thought to consider.

  8. Epoxy onto D pro?

    Just a thought. Consider gluing strips of sturdy wood to the floor before you apply the D pro, then put D pro everywhere else. I have had success doing this with strips of oak and PL adhesive. Then attach your amp board to the strips of wood that are glued to the floor or wall metal. This will allow you to avoid drilling holes in your floor. If not possible please disregard.

    I believe his point of putting it on the D pro is that he didn't want to stick anything to the floor just in case he needs/wants to pull it up. Easier to remove the D pro than to remove a piece of wood attached by PL.

  17. Why sheets over spray?

    With new advancements in the liquid form of dampeners, why are the sheets still preferred over lets say a roll on paste (sludge) or a spray on dampener (spectrum)?

    Brandon, it is mostly because there are so many cheap/useless liquid deadeners out there that have made people wary of the liquid product. Unlike those cheap knock offs, Spectrum has been tested to perform as well as 2mm thick Damplifier Pro when built up to the recommended 3mm thickness. Cheaper liquid sound deadeners are mostly water (Check the Polymer content of any liquid deadener it should be up the high 40-45% area like Spectrum, less polymer means more fillers and water) , especially the ones you can spray out of an aerosol can (the polymers needed for proper sound deadening would never spray that thin, that is why a 2mm minimum opening shutz gun is needed). Another reason is because not everyone feels comfortable with paint products and are afraid of runs or not looking good, when in fact it is very hard to mess up when applying Spectrum as it doesn't run like thin paint. The very first project I (Eric) did with Spectrum was a huge eye opener for me, I never would have thought it was as easy as it is to apply. And being water based the clean up is simple with water in the first 30 minutes.

    So just a recap:

    1 - Spectrum (3mm) performs as well as 2mm Damplifier Pro butyl

    2 - Spectrum is much easier to apply

    3 - Spectrum lasts as long and stays bonded as well as our high quality American made butyl products (Spectrum handles 400 degrees/Damplifier handles 450 degrees)

    4 - Spectrum is less expensive and lighter weight in most projects.

    Once a customer tries Spectrum, they really love it.

  21. XS Power lost a customer today...

    Did you read the warranty statement? I'd have to agree with a few others that you should figure out for yourself what the problem is before blaming the vendor. Looking forward to see you do an exact repeat test with another battery to see if it drains over the same time period under the same conditions. Document your findings here because we are interested.

    But that's not the point he is making. He's already said that he understands that there is probably a draw somewhere. He's saying that his customer service experience was bad. They told him to buy the s3400 from them so it would be in warranty after he described his situation and when his s3400 died they didn't hold to the warranty they said would be with this new battery. He's not blaming XS for the battery being dead.
