looks good man! try a hair trick next

haha true that! i want as much as possible before upgrading later on lol. i need to get me one

question, doesnt -15db seem like a massive overlap? compared to something like -3 or -5? idk it makes me think that my subs would stink up a lot. all the huge gain overlaps like -10, -15 confuse me. i dont fully understand it yet. i do know that the distortion is increased but then the dd detects it so would that mean its fine to use a -10db, -15db tone rather than -5db then?

im sure he will love it. its a really nice headunit

i have the 5901 on mine running on a 14v setup with the same voltage levels as you with no problems daily. i think its safe

i thought my headphones were going to explode with the high gain setting lol

nice truck! i got an 04 ls

i just laugh and tell them they bought shitty stuff! i had a guy tell me the same thing pretty much. i let him hear my system and told him about non mainstream stuff. he was so impressed he now has a Fi BTL in his house and runs 2 12" Q's in his car. i guess i converted him lol

DC ftw!! thanks! i just threw it together but i wanna make more now lol yeah man these subs are monsters! thanks! no they arent flared i dunno how id make flares for them lol. you know what my old box was tuned to 32 hz but i feel like this box moves more air especially on the low notes haha. if i could figure out how to make flares for the inside then i will pull my subs out and put em on when im changing to fatter screws lol

cousin and i made a new box not too long ago. just got around to making a lil video. camera really doesnt do any justice. you can tell the flex a lot better from my cell phone camera (records in hd) in the last clip. but anyways lemme know what you guys think. thanks i feel like they want more power ill take requests on what to do for the next videos lol

yeah i cant do curved glass i take mine to get done at a shop 30 minutes away, they also did my windshield in one piece in an hour and looks perfect. then again they do this everyday they better be good at it. good work=returning customer 2nd windshield they tinted for me and they took care of me both times. i dont know, even tho the autozone stuff is cheap ive had it on the jimmy for over 4yrs no problems, hasn't change colors or peeled or scratched yeah i was almost going to. i WILL redo mine later down the year because i want to get better at it and do it in one piece but its fine for now i guess. the part where the second piece overlaps is covered by my box and from the outside its too dark to even tell but its still messed up I was almost going to try them but i just didnt wanna take any chances. you arent the only person i've seen that has/had good luck with them.

tinting isnt incredibly hard but it can be difficult. like Beatbox said you need A LOT of patience. i did my car's back windows with 4% over the factory tint and it came out pretty good for a first time. i gotta give my props for the pros though that can easily do the back windshields with no problem. i had trouble with mine and ended up doing it in two pieces cuz i fucked up a lot. my back windshield has a retarded curved shape that hates heatshrinking lol. gonna redo it some day. just make sure you get quality tint and not the ones you can find at autozone or the likes.

I see that's what I was wondering about thanks. Hmm ok cool. As you can tell I'm still learning haha. I will do something all out one day. But no not really. The only one I know of is one for various 5-6 cylinder gm's and it's kind of universal, and that's the one Boilermaker used for his Trailblazer and even then he had to do some cutting and what not to make it fit. I'm willing to try it but I don't have the money right now. I don't think there really is. It's not a huge deal to turn the voltage down though. I just wanted to see what they would say about it. But thanks man. Yeah that's exactly what I do every morning. It's not really a huge deal. The only issue I really did notice though is that my a/c doesn't really work when I'm in the 16 volts. I've noticed that today when I turned it on. It wasn't cold until I brought it down to 15.6 volts. I'm def not complaining though I love running at 16 volts.

Yeah that's actually exactly what I wanted to do, 2 270 amp alts from DC Power or possibly something from Mechman. Anyway yeah man that is on my list of things to do. Unfortunately for us 4.2L I6 Trailblazers we have to do a lot more just to get enough space for a second alt. Only one I know of who has two is Boilermaker (Sp?) with the 4 lvl 5 18's. I will def consider what you said though. One thing though, did you ground the back batteries separately or are they grounded to the chassis or where ever along with the front battery, since they are being charged by a separate alt?

Haha wow I didn't think of that! I don't have multiple alternators just one 250 amp alt. Hopefully in the future I will but for my car its hard for more than one. The car actually runs fine its just that when the voltage goes higher than 16.6~ the abs and ebrake lights come on the dash but they turn off after a little while when the voltage goes down to about 16.5 and below. My car actually runs better at 16 volts. Interior lights are brighter, horn is louder, windows roll up and down faster, car cranks and starts up MUCH faster... I love it lol. But thanks man.

Yeah it is strange. My brakes aren't really that affected from what I can feel. What really scares me is on some cold mornings it goes up to 17+ volts to almost 18 and my dash lights turn off. I just turn it down really quick and turn it back to 16.5 after it warms up though. The dash lights cut off around 17.1 or 2. Is there something I could do to prevent it from going up that high on cold starts? I can try and check tomorrow when I have some time before work.

I am charging at around 16.5-6 volts. It mainly happens whenever it goes over 16.6 but once in a while it does at lower volts.

Hey so I just got my d1400's in yesterday and I got the batteries installed and everything, but I'm having a slight issue where my abs and e-brake lights would come on every once in a while and stay for a little bit then go away and then after a little bit come back on. I can also feel like the car wants to accelerate just a little bit. I'm not sure if the VCM is causing it from running at 16 volts, but I was under the impression that 16v was OK for most new cars. I have a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer by the way. Is it because of the VCM? Will I need to get a stepdown module? I don't wanna have the brakes fail on me when I'm on the highway or something.

How long can they be "safely" charged at 15+ volts? I'm asking because Steve Meade had an MLA Module on his and now the VCM which I saw was charging at 15.5V on his thread which I quoted here. I just got my VCM in the mail today and installed it and I have it set to 14.8V. I'm just curious.

Yeah I was thinking about that but I was trying to keep the box from going over my back seats. I was thinking about glassing the corners too but I've never glassed before Yeah I'm for sure gonna add more bracing. The whole box is 3/4". I kinda feel like I should have done a double baffle but I guess its too late I just need to brace the interior better. For now I'm gonna run my Sundown SAZ-2000D at .5 ohms until I can afford something better. I also have an XS 3100D coming my way too but I will get more once I'm ready. Yeah I think I should have done another layer but I literally used up all the wood I had at the time. It seems extremely solid right now I mean I sat on top of it and tried to get the wood to flex but it didn't seem to move at all. BUT that was just me I'm not 2 18's lol

Hmm ok I'll look into that thanks. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

How would I brace the port? I was thinking about adding another 2x4 going across but I dunno how I would get a full piece in there with the box pretty much constructed. Any ideas on that?

Hey whats up guys. I don't really post much but I'm in the process of building a box for my new 18" DC XL's that I'm supposed to be getting hopefully this Saturday. It's mostly done but I'm not finished painting it but before I finish I wanna make sure its real good so I thought I'd put up a few pictures and hopefully get some more ideas on what else I should do if I need to do anything more. I will probably need to brace it some more but it seems pretty solid but I don't know as this is my first big system I'm gonna have. By the way that space in front of the box that goes up and over is supposed to go over a row of batteries that I will be getting. Don't make fun of my box lol And its gonna go in this beast lol 2004 Chevy Trailblazer Well lemme know what you guys think and what I should do to it thanks

But I already have a deep cycle battery. Shouldn't that help a little with that? The yellow top battery pretty much stopped my voltage drops right now and I have about 1400-1500 watts right now with the stock alt. I get what you are saying though and I will get another battery too.
