Here you go, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO. I can simply just remove the 2 0ga wires from the front batt, and simply plug them into both alts, (this way I wont have to buy more wire) this way the back batts will have stright up alt power. I can have 1 go into one bat, and another go into the other batt (See what im saying) would this be a better use of my new electrical setup, then what im currently doing? I think it seems better. This way my kenitics can pull power direct from the alts and not from my POS front exide orbital. (I will still use 1 run of 0ga from my primary alt to the front batt thought, if this makes sense.) Here are the pics. And yes, all my runs are fused!

I'll go take a quick pix of what it looks like under my hood right now.

each alt is 150a

I've been drooling over some of Steve's install pic on chickens hoopty, and noticed (I THINK) we went from the back of the alts directly to the back batts. I'm only using a sub 3000watt stereo setup, and was hoping just wiring it this way would be ok: Alt 1 (run a short 0ga power wire to ALT2) then ALT 2 to the front batt..... Will this be OK?

Those gauges, although very nice, might be over his spending limit.

MLA module can work with the stock alt. That wouldnt be an issue.

Be careful, when I first installed this gauge, it said im @ 15.7ish volts. Im like WTF! I knew that was wrong. Open the gauge up, and inside there is a dial setting to adjust voltage. I just took out my MM and set the gauge to what my MM said the voltage was.

Darvex has the stinger gauge.... www.darvex.com

got it, thanks....

ok, im going back to check. I though the song would start with "Do you have click" or something like that......

i hate to keep bugging you, but on itunes, the kings of crunk intro, is not this? Any other ideas?

I dont have a CD player in my tahoe..... Just an Ipod connection, that is why im looking for the MP3.... Is there no other name for that beat? Just kings of crunk intro..... Thanks for your help so far.

I cant seem to find that as an MP3. This is just the intro?

We can't. THe medic I was riding with put it in my hand and said do it. He also let me push 2mg dilauted IVP...slowly.....

I've seen some crazy (actually stupid) shit people do as im now doing clinical ride on ambulances for my EMT-I class. I had a call 3 weeks ago where a 16 Y/O M Pt who through a copious amount of GUN POWDER into a bond fire, well needless to say, he had 70% full thickness burns to nearly 50% of his body. He was going into decompensated shock, and was only breathing @ 7 breaths P.M. I through a endotracial tube down his throat, and started IV's, and administed some morphine to help the pain. Meanwhile the only thing his mother cared for was she was screaming at the father to make sure her ham sandwich didn't burn...... Then my medic called for Life flight to land. Fucking great day! I loaded to kid on the helicopter, and that was it. Moral of the story..............DONT THROW GUNPOWDER ON A FIRE!!!!

Im using 8ga speaker wire......

Im somewhere close though, I think the port specs are just off slightly. but either way, I appreciate all your work you did for e back 7-8 months ago.... Your a straight up good guy......

oh shit I had no idea.....I didnt know you could change screen names.......

Does this mean the box is well spec'ed? Accordman (I havent seen him on here lately) spec'ed it out for me. 16CuFT w/ 158SqIN of port (I think) 34Hz Thanks for your input, appreciate it. I believe the MD3D has a unregulated power supply, so 15+V should be good for the amp I would think.

Hello to everyone. Instead of making 3 posts, I'm hoping I can ask all my Q's inside this post. To make a long story short, Thanks to ROB @ DC Power, I have a dual alt kit coming next week to install on my 02 tahoe, a MLA 15.3v module for both alts, and was wondering these 3 questions: (1) Do you think I will be able to notice a difference now with running 2 alts? IE: Will the bass hit "stronger" now possibly. (2) Do you think the MLA module will help overall system response as-well? I'm thinking that the extra voltage that it supplies, will increase overall output? (My USAmps MD3D should maybe respond well to it?) (3) For shits and giggles, I just did an OHM load check on my 2 18"s (Fi BL's) There D1's and I have them wired into a 1 OHM load, and the reading my multimeter gave me was 1.4 Ohm (I have just 2 wires coming out the box, all wiring is internal, so this reading is with both drivers connected, you know what I mean) Does this ohm load reading OK? I would have thought a 1ohm load would read 1 ohm, but im hoping you tell me that this is fine. I havent been hard on these babies really at all, and there only 8 months old with maybe 10hrs of use. Just an FYI, WHEN I initially installed everything, I did 2 runs of 0ga to my back batts for the hell of it. Do you think that those 2 runs of 0ga will benifit me now with the upgraded amperage I'll have now with 2 alts? The BIGIII is also done, and all in 0ga. I like to do things right the first time.

I'm currently using a MD3D (08 model) powering my 2 Fi BL18's and it fucking rocks out. I used USAmps back in the mid-to-late 90's and even though USAmps aren't made in sunny Florida anymore, the MD line of amps just rock out. Personally I would get the MD3D.........Yes I know sundown is good.........

LOL!

thanks bro

Does anyone possibly know this answer? I hate having the feeling that what I bought a few months ago is now a piece of shit. Are the new BL's that "MUCH" better? My version of the BL's I have have the tinsel leads into the spider, like these new ones, and have all the upgraded options as-well. Should I just keep what I got, or upgrade to the new ones? Each of my BL's are seeing ~1200watts a piece.
