secondary batt question
SQMonte replied to GORILLAslap's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Yep it matters, but it's been answered already as to why. But also, if you get batteries that are different type, gel/agm/sla, and that have different ah ratings, that can be an issue too. Cause different types and different capacities charge and discharge at different rates. -
I think you should do some testing before deciding on what layout to go with cause what works best in one car might work work as well in the next. In most trunk cars sub/port back works best, but if you're gonna compete you'll most likely get better results going sub/port forward and sealed off. If you go that route, make sure you seal off the rear deck too, you don't want any air getting back into the trunk at all.

Lookin' good....no mobile theme or is it still in the works?

The guy is just cutting his teeth, u guys are over complicating things, K.I.S.S.In order to pull that off with good results he'd have to make sure the trunk is completely sealed off, and the rear deck too. Not exactly an easy task for a greenie. Plus you lose some of ur low end that way too. If he's going for numbers it would def be the way to go though, but not for a strictly daily car, IMO. Subs up, port back is kind of iffy too, I wouldnt go that route unless you've done some experimenting and are sure that would be the best setup for your car. That usually works best in suv/hatchback applications, can work in trunks too but again, gotta experiment.

Yeah, 4ft3 total after all displacements. The AQ1200 does rated @ 1ohm so you shold get dual 4ohm subs so u can wire them down to 1ohm.As for ur batt and alt....how old is ur batt? If its 3+yrs old I'd suggest replacing it....the alt probably wont be necessary right now, just make sure ur battery is strong, do the Big 3 and run 1/0 wire. The 1/0 is overkill right now but it will allow u to upgrade in the future without having to buy and run power wire all over again. Agreed 100%
-
This being your first real build, I think the AQ1200 would be perfect. Yes those subs can handle more than rated but that doesnt mean everybody should do it. Kinda like putting me behind the wheel of a Nascar and telling me to drive it 200mph with a track full of other cars.....yeah it can do that but im probably not the best person to do it. U have more than enough room back there for a nice box.....I'd go about 4ft3 and tuned to the low 30's. Have fun!

would it be fine to run wire under car
SQMonte replied to pittross's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
Perfectly fine, just use some common sense -
How would you accomplish that if the sealed portion is on the opposite side of his port?
-
So the only thing that changed from ur previous setup to this one was the box? I always thought 4th orders should be 2:1....how did u come up with the volume calculations? Seems like you just kinda guessed and hoped for the best. I think your sealed section is way too big, especially since the ideal sealed box for one of those is .85ft3. I know its not what you wanted to hear but I think the box is your issue. Sorry bro
-
No worries, I can adjust it as needed

http://www.meelec.com/MEElectronics_M6P_Stylish_Earphones_p/earphone-m6p-mee.htm Then you can go to Big Lots and pick up a pair of JVC Marshmallows for $10 and jack the ear tips off them and you'll have some nice sounding IEM's that you can wear as long as you want and won't fall out I have this exact setup and love it

I did, and kinda miss it now (the ability to run active) that i'm mixing and matching my mids/highs. Pioneer has some new active decks coming out and i'm considering getting one but I'll have to get my hands on one to see how it is and go from there, which is why I don't just get the Imprint for this deck and call it good. Your xover points for your mids sounds like what I want to do with mine, but cut it off at about 2.5k-3k on the higher end since my tweets can play down to 2.5k. I seen that xover earlier and it's an option, gonna do some more searching around before I decide what I wanna do
-
Alright, looks like I need to look in to a different xover then. Thanks man
-
My tweets are about a foot to foot and a half away from each other and my 3 way is going to be mids/highs/sub.Should I get these to cut it off on the high end? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-FMOD-2500Hz-Low-Pas-Midrange-Electronic-Crossover-USA-/390329421937?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae1725071#ht_2009wt_1396

Considering buying an electronic xover and I've found a nice old school piece that will allow me to set highs/mids/subs but doesn't allow bandpassing the mid. Is that that big of a deal?
