are you rebuilding?

2 NS-1 strapped at 1ohm..... i may run them unstrapped and run them each at .5

bump

hot green tea would be good stay away from anything acidic

your and brandons are the loudest vehicles i have sat in... (i heard BJs but i didnt sit in it) rainmans was the first 50 i ever heard all i can say is i cant wait till i drive a daily 50 car

im getting the bracket made on thursday but this is my test fit

I am in no way bashing mechmans products and never have. That is another time and place. I simply stated the fact that this unit only does 40a at idle. If you are using this as a secondary alt to charge your 16v batteries, is this going to be a burp only setup where you always have the RPMs run up? Mechman came in and stated that this is a SPL unit built to be run at RPMs 1500 or higher and I understand that but it just would not suit my purposes. I like to be able to get out of the truck while it is playing or at least not have to worry about keeping my foot on the gas while demoing. Now a 400a unit that does 240+ at idle would definitely interest me. If you want to jump my case for bashing something, make sure that is what I am actually doing before you open your mouth. its not a burp only vehicle but i dont ever plan on being out of the vehicle while its playing and i def wouldnt on full tilt i might get out on moderate volume but having 10 batteries is sufficient enough to support that for short periods

its in the manual how to strap them and i wouldnt recommend strapping at .5 ohm your final load for a strapped pair should be 2ohm especially if you dont have any experience strapping amps in the past

i have an idea for the logo (not the banner) i would like "Vital Signs" to be arched at the top and "Audio" arched at the bottom and in the middle would be like an EQ display like this but smaller but i would like the bars to look like they are in the shape of this

i highly doubt its cracked from the system

if you are offering the 6.5" in 4ohm ill take 2 pair

the monitor doesnt get signal from the cpu... the picture comes from the gpu you probably just forgot to fully connect the wire for the display check all your connections

the psu doesnt provide power to the monitor... if its a desktop

Exactly what mechman said I don't need and idle amps cause thus will be charging a separate battery bank at 18v my stock alt is more than sufficient to support my stock electronics and 2 100.4s at 12v Cj you need to stop posting just for a reason to bash mechman

spend the money and get a mechman unit he could probably even work something out with you that would actually fit your truck the right way that one from ebay probably does 200a yes but at like 5234985720956 rmp

i knew i chose right when i built my first system i had a pair of type r 12s i was probably hitting 135 or less but i thought i was cool back then

Ok, but do you absolutely need to use the other outputs on the alt if it's a secondary alt? Also, I'm not trying to replace the original alt in my truck, it's only a few days old. yes you need to use all wires for it to charge not unless you get a 1 wire alternator not true

Ok, but do you absolutely need to use the other outputs on the alt if it's a secondary alt? Also, I'm not trying to replace the original alt in my truck, it's only a few days old. yes this is possible i am doing this exact thing on my truck i have a '91 c1500 and i am putting a 400a mechman alt on it as a secondary for an 18v system but the new alt is for a new body style truck with the ls based engine call mechman and they can hook you up proper you just need a single one wire turn on lead and you are golden

It probably has to do with your vehicle I have a really common alternator so mine is like mass produced

the only time you ever post pictures of anything on SMD is when 1. you buy a new gun or 2. somebody fucked your shit up

i saw the thread on the GM blowout and i couldnt pass it up i placed an order that day for a 400a unit and bam 2 days later its in my hands at first i was concerned because the dyno label said it only did 165a at idle and 274a at full output so i made a call (very friendly by the way) and it turns out there was just a mixup with the labeling and my alt is completely fine i cant wait to put it in if i ever need a second 400a unit i wont hesitate at all to hit up mechman thanks guys 400a of greatness

Port firing towards the trunk on the drivers side will be the loudest

Port towards the back
