I Need An Alarm
thacarter546 replied to bibby>Chode's topic in Security Center - Car/Home Alarms, devices, tactics, tips....
ive heard VERY good things about asian wolf alarms. I might get that one you listed. They also have a bad ass package with a keypad that you have to program and punch in a code before you start the car. -

Wheels Or Stereo?

Another thing is that too much tire makes the rims look stock. two inch tires are about perfect. ride like shit, but totally worth it -
Wheels Or Stereo?

Wheels will draw a ton more attention to the truck. They will make people look twice at it. They make the BIGGEST difference in appearance on the truck. I would do the wheels. -

My Sound System

Lol those subs are rated around 300 watts and that amp will put out no more than rated. If i remember right it is rated at 14.4 volts, so your puttin out maybe 550 watts before box rise or any of those other factors people like to throw in to trash on lower end amps. Not a bad set-up at all looks pretty nice, but your putting out NOWHERE NEAR 2400 watts -
Batt Caps
thacarter546 replied to memphis_finest1's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
They can help. From what ive read they are usually beneficial, but they are now substitute for a large battery bank and a HO alternator. Your gonna need a ton of power few monsters or pc 2250s would fit the bill and a 300 amp alt or two would be nice -
Theyre not amazing, but they are pretty nice amps, i know this isnt very scientific, but i can set my gains to about 1400 at a 2 ohm load before my coils get hot. i honestly dont think it puts out any more than that at that load. i really wanna try it at 1/2 ohm, but havent got the time or courage to try it yet.

I would say the ford anecdote is waaay off. I dont know about the navi, but going from a fully loaded Crown Vic, to the Town car or even a fully loaded grand marquis to a Town car was a HUUUUUGE jump up. The ford and mercury didnt even compare as far as ride quality goes. all three had about the same performance however. But the lincoln is like riding on a pillow everywhere. Completely different beasts. You may be happy with the loaded ford, but the lincoln is a whole other monster. Only reason i had to throw this in was my dad has owned all three and i have driven all three. The L7 is a nice driver, but not really comparable with a w7. I would compare a w7 more to a MX or TC-3000 or IDMax

I know the 4000 and 6500the pwersupply would burn out on em. No personal experience sorry, i just saw multiple threads on roe about guys who burned em up repeatedly
-
I dont care for them, the pca series had a very high defect rate btw
-
I think i'm sold on these everyone who has em loves em. I wanna get two 10"s toss 1100 watts to each then maybe keyword maybe toss another PA a3000db on em and give each 2200 watts They dont sound holloow do they?
-
I wouldnt run those amps if i were you. I have plenty of experience with the power acoustik line-up those amps dont do near rated power. the ps1-5500d does about 1100 watts before it starts clipping. There was a thread on roe that showed a full benchmark and test on em. The ONLY decent lines from power acoustik are the Gothic series. Ive ran a few of these and while they arent bullet proof they take a beating and have done me just fine. And the Axxxxdb series I'm running the A3000db for my sub right now. It puts out fairly dirty power 5-10% THD there is a noticeable difference in distortion between this amp and the gothic that it replaced. Both of those series are mildly overrated but IMHO OKAY amps for the money. The rest of their amps are moderately to heavily overrated(more than 2-300 watts) and i would not run personally. For 300 you can get the a3000db which is a better deal imo it puts out a good 2000 watts and is good down to 0.5 ohm and is damn near bullet proof
-
Really they are decent amps, its just you get what you pay for the qc is NOT there there are defect ones. Hifonics is in the same boat. There are people with great and people with not so great. If you were looking for a big mono amp on the cheap i love the Power Acoustik A3000db i have one and love it for the money.
-
Some of the cadence tx series had a problem. They had a high defect rate and some of em shot straight dc into a couple subs. Ma is decent, a little bit overrated, but you get what you pay for.

They are sexy as hell, i wish theyd compare them to the dd 9500
