Man I was hoping that Steve would have some in stock, but he also doesn't. So right now I am thinking of getting two D975's instead. How much of a performance drop off will there be? Again I am most likely going to get a 260A dc power alt (accidentally said 270A in my original post, my bad).

Well I just got an email from SSA that the D1200's are back ordered till January. So I am going to check if anyone else has them in stock. I need these ASAP, I am going to be working on this car within the coming weeks. I like the idea of 2 smaller batteries in case I run into placement or mounting issues.

I called XS the other day and they confirmed that the starting battery was a group 34. I decided to order up a D3400 for the front and two D1200's for the rear. I hope this is all I will need electrical wise. DC is supposedly backed up with orders, so I will do the big three and add these batteries in the meanwhile.

Do you think a D3100 would fit in the spare tire well?

Hey guys I was wondering if a D3400 up front and a D1200 in the rear will be enough for 3200 watts rms. Or should I put a D3100 in the rear? I want to be able to play my system at full tilt without starving the car's electrical needs. I plan on getting a 270A HO alt from DC power inc. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to order up tonight before the black Friday sale ends at SSA.

I have heard the T3's. They sounded pretty good for being a set of RF components. I would just get a demo and if you like them go for it. If you can get a deal on them it's hard to pass up on them imo.

A set of HAT L8SE's should sound good.

Anyways I run stinger HPM and the RF premium cables. Both are very well built and haven't had any problems. No offense to you or your setup, but you don't really notice the differences till you run audiophile equipment with really low tolerance parts.

Pear Cables.

The redesigned type-r is solid. I would take that over the kicker.

ASUS is pretty mainstream. Anyways I would recommend the HP Envy series. They are a great macbook pro alternative. They don't have the same exact fit and finish as the macbook pros, but other features makeup for it. I personally have a HP Envy 14. I have had it for a year and it has been rock solid. They used to have a 1600 x 900 radiance display option on their original Envy 14, but they stopped offering it. Now they only offer the 1366 x 768 display, which is decent but its not as good as the radiance display. The radiance displays were macbook pro display esque. I wouldn't look too much into the screen issue, because the updated Envy 14 makes up for it with sandy bridge and other features. It comes with a display port and hdmi port which you can easily use to hook up to a nice monitor. You can configure it up with a quad core sandy bridge i7, which has 4c/8t. Imo this is kind of a overkill for a laptop, but it packs a tremendous punch if you need it. It also has switchable graphics, which helps maximize battery life. It also has USB 3.0/esata, which is nice if you need more storage. Also the battery life is good on mine, with the first generation core i5 I can easily hit 5-8 hours with the slice battery. But this all depends on how you use it. I am sure you could achieve even more with the new sandy bridge processors, since they are way more efficient. It also comes with a intel wireless nic, which are some of the most durable and reliable. Lastly it has beats audio, which is pretty much the best you can do for laptop audio. Also sony has stepped their game up, I also recommend their new laptops if you are on a lower budget. You should look at some of the sony's in person because their build quality is pretty good, but it's not like a HP Envy or a Apple Macbook Pro. Link: Envy 14

I am glad that RF has the rights to distribute Helix and Brax here. They make some very high quality and well built equipment. Their amplifiers are awesome.

Well it depends dealer to dealer on the cost of the amplifier. It will likely be 2500 plus. The Arc Audio SE lineup is amazing. Some of the best sounding amplifiers I have ever heard. If I had the money I would personally go with all Arc Audio SE amplifiers or full Audison Lrx's. None of the amplifiers mentioned earlier are comparable to the Arc Audio SE series. IIRC the amps are hand built and each component is top notch and hand picked. The SE 4000 does 4000 plus watts rms. It's not even comparable to all these internet brands that are built by Korean and Chinese build houses.

If you can afford that Arc Audio SE amp I would buy that. But FYI it's ridiculously expensive. You can't really compare it to most of the amplifiers mentioned.

That's a really nice mobo.
