  1. Although I don't have much to add, I am curious as to what your resting voltage is when sitting overnight at low temperature with the truck off? As long as the batteries are charged, they shouldn't freeze. But with the high initial voltage, it makes me think that the amperage is near zero until the electrolyte "gets going". Almost like the higher voltage is the alternators unloaded voltage. As long as the battery cases don't start to bulge from excessive electrolyte outlasting, then I would say you are ok. Block heater on a gasoline motor? Yeah that's cold. I am not sure at what point a battery heater is needed.
  2. That has to be one heck of a voice coil!! The worst thing that happened was that it would trip the breaker.lol You should put it in a box and try it again to make some noise.Lol
  3. I have never used one of these but there should be a way to reduce the signal going into the meter. It might be possible to wire a 10k potentiometer in series to act as a coarse adjustment to get it in range and then adjust the meter as normal.
  4. Those a pillars look great, man you have been busy! I just need to find some time to work on my rig. lol
  5. It would work better if you can place it close to the amps.
  6. Maybe they could do a gold plus or a platinum. Or an add on option. The way it is set up now, they just paid a boat load to update the site to what it is today. Maybe when they do the next update in ten years we will have the option. Or maybe the internet will be outdated by then and nobody will using it anymore. Lol
  7. I am beginning to think that I am the only one around here that still drinks..... half that growler was gone this morning, working on the other half and ready to get more. COME ON GUYS! Whatever you are drinking, post it up!
  8. Even with the 320 you might need a few more batteries. Get a good volt meter and hook it up to the amp inputs. With my system I can play 3 or four songs full tilt going down the road before it starts to get into the low 12 volts and then I turn it down to recharge to stay safe. The amperage goes up tremendously when you go below 12v. The 320 will surely help. Put the amps and volt meter in and see what it does. If you haven't done the big 3 that would be good too.
  9. Having more power on tap is a good thing so I would do two 3k strapped.
  10. I just found out that my old surface tablet takes pictures old enough to fit. I can adjust the size of them when I drag and drop so they don't look too grainy.
  11. In Montréal growler of Tre Brasseurs Amber 6.2%
  12. I am going to get a set and put them on the back of my garage, pointed at the bonfire.
