  1. Am I Going To Be The First Person The Have "watercooled" Amps?

    Peltiers for the win, it's not like you have a shortage of high-current 12vdc on hand ;)

    Watercooling the outside of amps is inefficient. And you have the wrong term above, head is CONDUCTED not CONVECTED from the inside of the amp.

    To put it in PC terms, what you're proposing is kinda like having a huge aluminium heatsink sitting on your CPU and then attaching a waterblock to the side of it. It's inefficient because your heat goes silicon -> heatspreader -> heatsink -> waterblock -> water -> radiator -> air

    Currently it just goes silicon -> heatspreader -> heatsink -> air

    I'm not saying it won't be cooler but the huge number of relatively poor thermal junctions will make it suck. You would be better off machining channels in the heatsink and using that as the waterblock.

    Even better, you could do away with the heatsink and machine your own custom copper waterblocks that you screw the transistors directly to. THAT would be properly badass. While you're at it you could even lap the transistors for better cooling :)

    Also I don't think having rads in the glove box would work - you're talking 2 very very long runs of tubing (flow fail) and a pretty crappy place for the rad. I'd put it in front of the port for added cooling :lol: :hairtrick:

    My bad I just repeat what Boon said but yeah x 2 But also would love to see the H20 build!! Go for it and good luck!!

    If you need them cooled off that much you gotta bunch off air pumping out from the speaker box!!

    Well given it's not a sealed enclosure..Have them mounted to where the port holes can fan them, not directly in front of it if your worried about vibration ruining the amps..but using a bit of that air cooling them I'm sure you'll be able to fabricate something to direct a tiny bit of that air towards them..

    It was the hc 600 thats has more power than a hundred 1 farad caps and the hc800 thats better than 200 1 farad caps...? If I can remeber correctly in their ads.. good question but not even a 100 farad cap or 100 1 farad caps can handle a 100,000 WATTS!! When 100 1 farad caps are all drained they become a much bigger extra load for the alternator to restore only to have them all drained out again in less than a second..Where as the kinetik requires much less and more a storage instead of a sucker!! Caps= suck and spit and suck!! Batteries= store all your wasted power then gives it to kindly,LOL!!

  7. Got It Narrowed To 4 Batteries....

    I have had a Kinetik in my car for about 4 years now. I don't have a big comp system, it is just a daily vehicle. I have a HC1400 under the hood and that is my only battery. I live where it gets very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer, so it gets some abuse. I have NEVER had one regret buying this battery. I have other friends who have run PM and Batcaps and both were less than stellar. But like with anything, you will get a bad one now and then no matter which brand you go with. Everyone is going to have a different experience.

    Also the spl world record holder! :hairtrick:
