  1. Just to make it clear evey sub i have fixed this way is still going to this day. as a matter of fact i took orion hcca tinsel leads out from a blown cone and put them into a lvl 4/5 coil combo that was an older sub that only had one set that sub has been the same way for right aroubd a year now and shows no sign of a problem. YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY!!! But it can be done and last if your in a money/time pinch.

  2. If you are handy you can order some tinsel lead from fix my speaker. remove dust cap with razor knife very carefully. find where the tinsel goes into cone and connects to the leads on the former clean out the ca glue with a dremal tool with a small sanding stone bit. solder the new tinsel to the connection at the former poke a new hole in the cone run tinsel through make sure you have enough slack for cone travel and solder to push connectors check to make sure it works. put glue back around the connections at the former and glue the dust cap back down. This will work i have done this a gew times with guys that dont understand what ckipping is and blow out tinsels. you can even add more if you would like. i did a lvl 5 from dual to quad a few moths back.

  3. Been working on a build for a while, had an irraggi quad kit for it sent the alts to mechman and without ever using them they dynoed under 250 amps with all chinese internals which doesnt make for a very bullett proof alt. so we had mechman swap regulator and recitifer. after that they were redynoed and did over the 260 mark. They sent them back we slapped em in finally got the truck up qnd running. with 4 3100 &1 3400 charging @ 15.2 full tilt for almost an hr yesterday i never saw voltage below 13@idle and @1600 rpm never below 14 thats with a 12k @.5 bridged. thanks mechman nortons car stereo in charleston sc will never use a different alt company!

  4. Also can't you run higher voltages with class d over ab? Most ab amps protect in the 16v range and get real hot

    yup the IA we did recently was on a 14v battery set up and it worked great at 16.4 charging. then on the flip side of that we put the same amp on a set of hybrid audio in a tacoma and my sq guy actually liked the way it sounded.

  5. I have done a couple and what seems to work real well as far as a nice tone with harshness and a low smooth idle, stock pipes chop the muffler do a flowmaster 40series (delta flow iirc) single in dual out and then add turn downs. And these have all been tahoe or suburbans. the shops and customers trucks.
