    been talking with XS, about to pull the trigger on 4 banks of caps that way they're standing by when I get home, and then I'm gonna work on getting some Havocs  I don't really want to go through and update all of the pictures to get rid of the photobucket trash, but I will try to find some time when I am back in the states and able to. This build will be revived!

    Looking forward to the progress man.  Where are you stationed?

    BTW, theres a Chrome plugin that allows you to see PB pics.

    No thoughts or opinions on adding a 3rd 12 or adding 2 x 10s? Would rather make use of this new 1.2k I have than sell it for half price...... but something tells me if I added 10s it would just be a waste of money.. don't see too many ppl running 2 different size subs... 

    I wired down to .5ohm... much better, but don't have scope to reset gain, (or maybe it's lack of reserve battery at this point) get some bad voltage drop now down to 11.5 while driving on some songs....

    now I need a ton of secondskin to get rid of the horrible rattles my entire car makes lmao.. sounds like shit with everything rattling as bad as it does now with it at .5ohm lol..

    Why on earth would you sell it at half price??

    You're gonna have impedance rise so you'll likely be 0.7ohm or higher under load.  It doesnt make much more power under 1 ohm, but you'll certainly be using more of what you already paid for.  We are running this amp in my buddy's JK at 1/2ohm with a 250A alt and (2) D3400s with a 4th order.  Totally happy with it.  Definitely boost up your reserve though.

    That is an option as well, I think my electrical will handle the load,  at most i drop to 13v at full tilt at idle with the 3.5k wired at 2ohms.. (with decafs/got 160s music)

    I just didn't think these level 3s could take that much power, they are in my daily driver, and at fill tilt 90% of the time I'm in it. As well as several 5hr+ drives a month. 

    But if others chime in with good results with that setup I'll give it a go. Only cause I bought the 3.5k used though. 

    Just swap the wires and try it out.  Watch your voltage.  If you dip in the 11s then increase your reserve or alternator.  You'll be surprised what your system will do wired down.  If you get stinky coils too fast or voltage drop, then pursue another option.  This option is a 'free trial'.
