  1. you dont need lag screws lol. alpine used 1" wood screws to hold in six 18" mayhems in a wall. those were much heavier than your neo subs.
  2. i am personally not a fan of PA speakers. you can make them sound good but i have not seen any of the SQ guys running PA speakers out here. I dont believe i will ever put them in my car. my meca score is in my sig.
  3. why you gotta hold out on the rest of us?
  4. maybe most spl competitors dont use them because they are not SPL subs. its not what they are made for.
  5. i know this isnt your question but is the bottom of that box open? just from the pic it looks like its sealed on bottom, sealed on top. when i made plexi windows i used screws into the wood with washers pinching the plexi and caulking all around the joint. but that didnt need to hold any pressure because it was an amp rack, so...
  6. run grounds from the rear batteries to the front battery. ground the amps to the rear batteries.
  7. ive only done it once. this guy cut me off to be the first car in the right lane. he wanted to go straight and i wanted to turn. so i had to wait a full light cycle because he didnt want to be behind one other car. he was talking on his phone. i made that a difficult thing to do and i could tell it worked.
  8. a kinetik 2400 is the size of a G31. same size as a d3100. the xspower batteries are better but kinetiks are still good. i always say to put the biggest battery you can fit. i wouldnt get the small ones.
  9. just turn the high pass filter (HPF) to about 80. thats really the only xover you have control of.
  10. best answer is to get the biggest one you can fit.
  11. lol thanks man. and whats your alt rated at for amperage? so far it sounds like too little electrical for what you are doing with your amps. do you have a digital voltage gauge in your car?
  12. i try not to turn it up when innocent people may be in the line of fire. never know who you might be pissing off.
  13. the voltage doesnt really matter. what is the amperage rating? what do you have for batteries? sorry to hear about your friend. we will get your system taken care of. if anyone is firm with you about running at a low impedance its only because they want to save you from burning your amps. dont take it personal.
  14. Ok this is how my friend had it run he strap the amps and then he took the + from each side of the sub and run it to the master + and the - from each side of the sub and run it to the slave + . at what ohms did he run the sub at ? its .5ohm but because two amps are strapped together each amp sees .25ohm.
  15. Ok so can i do that from outside the subwoofer box or do i have to do it from inside the box ? it doesnt matter. do you ave any idea how risky it will be to run at such a low impedance? and how much more electrical it will take? and if the amps fry it will be your fault, cant get mad at the manufacturer.
  16. i would get them in an enclosure. you can attach a box to the under side of the rear deck or fiberglass the rear deck and that will be your enclosure.
  17. look at the deka intimidator as a reference. http://www.remybattery.com/Products/Deka-Intimidator-Battery---9A31__9A31.aspx
  18. Or you could just bridge them like I did with mine and get more power. The last few shows I've gotten tons of complements on my doors. What would be the difference between somebody running the 6.5s vs the 8s vs 10s? Would it just be how much room they have to work with or would a certain driver be louder. that only works if you have two in each door/side. unless you like your music in mono. difference, in general, with those sizes would be the bigger speaker would have a lower FS, less handling on higher notes, and less "grip" for transients. but the bigger speaker will be louder.
  19. for audio, its not just the deka brand. its the deka intimidator that is the good battery. look at the discharge rate.
  20. you want a battery that can discharge as fast as possible. you need that power in an instant, not over an hour.
  21. i dont know how long the battery will last by itself on that amount of power. for me, as soon a i see a drop below resting voltage i consider the charging system is insufficient and i upgrade.
  22. wtf? how did you decipher that? lol. i never would have guessed. I would assume that common sense would come into play if he were asking about a car door, but you never know these days ah, so the difference is you have faith in the intelligence of others lol. wtf? how did you decipher that? lol. i never would have guessed. sure a battery like that will work, i used the same battery to run some small amps. however you will want a battery charger to keep the battery charged (obviously). just get a small automatic charger that will go from charge to float by itself. Thanks! Do you think it would stay stable at around 12/13v with a 1000 rms monoblock? lmao didnt you say 'nothing serious, just small stuff'? 1000w will give you a 100amp current draw. so... i wouldnt do that lol. i ran a little 50x4 amp off that battery and a 6amp charger and that worked well. added more power and it wasnt enough. what you really need is a power supply (thats what i did). i may have some options for sale for that soon.
  23. No, I found out my head unit isnt that out of date it has 2 sets of 2v rca ouputs. Even though she is an older model that lil jvc gets the job done. But didn't you say that your 4 channel amp doesn't have low level inputs(RCA's)? i have a 40 year old amplifier that has RCA inputs. what amp wouldnt have rca inputs except the little alpine one that connects to your deck? you wont lose volume from using splitters. all it means is there is less input voltage to each channel and you turn the gain up to match the new input.
  24. wtf? how did you decipher that? lol. i never would have guessed. sure a battery like that will work, i used the same battery to run some small amps. however you will want a battery charger to keep the battery charged (obviously). just get a small automatic charger that will go from charge to float by itself.
