He got banned for having such an awesome system.

when the saints come marching in? Or it could be "Im a little teacup"

its a car wash man, that blue is the soap...... haha

true, but also I said that you have plenty enough runs to where you arent anywhere near the limit of your wires power handling capabilities. That is why it doesnt get hot, but to the average Joe that has one run of 4Gauge pushing 1000W + Every added splice is a bit if a bottleneck. You have to remember that this is probably what this guy is used to working with. I only said that he is correct in stating that by reducing the surface area the power has to flow, you are in a sense bottlenecking it. But once again this doesnt apply to you. This is probably gonna go over alot of heads but Steve, you seem like a pretty smart guy so you should understand. If your power needs require a certain amount of wire to be efficient, that can be translated into surface area of the wire needed to carry the load effectively without resistance. simply put, if you need x amount of surface area to flow x amount of current, then as long as those buss bars etc. are equivalent to that number (x), then you could technically run nothing but buss bars and still not have problems. This guy is just assuming that your wiring is barely enough to flow the power, so he thinks that because the surface area of the soldering at the connections and the buss bars is less than the wire, that it is bottlenecking. Sorry, I just had to clear up my previous statement so that you wouldnt think that I too was an internet moron.

the ONLY truth to that statement at all is that it will get a slight bit hotter at the soldered and buss bar areas. Nothing that will affect power anywhere near being significant. And the only reason I say that the heat is true, is because it is a simple fact we all know. Well most of us. AC power flows through wire( this is why your typical house wire is solid) and DC current flows on the surface of wire( this is why automotive wiring is stranded). Also why larger wire size is needed for more current. It is logical to say that all the surface area of the stranded wire reduces when the current gets to the bar or solder, but once again all that will produce is a bit more heat. Nothing that will affect voltage or current significantly at all. Plus I guarantee he has more than enough wire runs to handle the amount of power, current flowing through there. If not he would have had problems along time ago. My .02

nice, but quick question? Why was the last battery in the stack fake? Notice, it didnt have a strap, and it was way light.

I run nothing but Quantum Audio. I have 4 15" cozmik series powered by a QCA4500D and my mids and highs are powered by a QA2260. Before I had all 4 subs I had 2 15s on the 2260 which is a 2 channel amp bridged at 4ohms and I hit a 140.9 sealed on the dash termpro. And that was a 30 second average on music.

yeah I was just thinking about that. I really dont have any pressure back there. If you could though let me know where i can get the pics of how to hook up the MLA module. And also roughly how much was yours?

nope I saw your build page before i redid mine. I braced the roof in the rear. there are braces across the roof,and there is foam inbetween the roof panel and the bracing. The only problem is that the foam is really soft and just by pressing on the roof it will compress the foam all the way. so even with dynamating the roof. IT still travels almost an inch. I measured it. So what I did was I took silicone and filled in all the bracing in the roof. Once dry, the roof doesnt move at all, but it is still a little flexible because the silicone isnt rock hard. Before I did this, I couldnt even hear the bass over my roof noise. Now I dont even hear it. See the foam in between the bracing and the roof. That whole area inbetween needs to be filled with silicone. Also, if you can see, the back has the same thing across it.

my amp is rated at 14.4V and I guarantee im not staying at that voltage. Probably around 2000w
