Wow, that alt is a beast compared to stock! What amps and batteries are you running?
at the moment only one battery yellow top optima. need to wait till spring to finish now. 2 mtx te1501d to 4 12" L7's. still have alot more work to go.

Yesterday. hooked it up. Voltage drop at idle full power 11.7 at lowest at the amps and 2000 rpms drops to 1700 rpm full power never dropped below 13.8. alt sits at 14.3 idle. love it. didn't get spec sheet though, i thought it came with 1. i could have been wrong. thanks mechman.

epoxy or some of that "steel" glue. test the steel glue out first on something though as i've had bad batches of the stuff that never gets hard.
likely that UPS dropped it.
problem has beed solved. i can return it and he will refund me $125 so after i ship it, i will end up with about $100.
-
you could put the magnet back on, but lining it up might be a bitch.... how did it come off in the first place?
I got it like that either UPS dropped it or it was shipped like that. I honestly believe UPS did it. Before anyone asks, i paid for shipping, but, he shipped it so i had no option for insurance. IF i can align it, how would i secure it to the basket? Glue? What kind?
-
Kinda figured it wasn't repairable. next question is why would i need to take it to a shop to verify it is "non-operational"? I sent him an email with the video. I guess, I get burned on this deal.
-
I don't know how to post the video directly so i posted it on youtube.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this if at all.
I contacted the seller, He wants me to go to a licensed audio shop to verify it is not operational and he will need documentation that i did. Is the magnet just glued to the Sub frame? is it fixable? Even if temporary.

2 18" DC Audio Level 4xl's
Then throw an xs d3100 or two in the back. Call it a day.
i have absolutely no idea how 18's respond never heard them before. do they sound good for any music or rap and such? I sometimes listen to country and eighties rock.

this be very important
200 amp alt 0/1 awg throughout still need battery for rear. and i already have the amps 2 MTX te1501d 1 ohm stable.birth sheet on 1 says 1779 other 1 says 1670.I'm also think of going to a larger alt if the 200 amp can't keep up.
-
so 1500 for 4 subs yes?
$1500 for subs. everything else is pretty much ready. except the enclosure.
-
so many possibilities there. could use 2 18"s or 4 15"s or a bunch of 12"S. but for your enclosure question, 1 big ported chamber FTW.
FYI...It wouldn't be just for spl, i should have mentioned that in the original post. and a daily driver
-
go with some dc lvl 4 15's and an amp to match!
or some sundown nightshade 18's
4 of thoose would be out of my price range. look good though.
-
I am probably going to regret asking this but i need input. my friends all say go MTX or Kicker's. I have $1500 to spare, i already have 2 mtx TE1501d's. Electrical is all ready except a back battery. I have a 2001 pontiac grand prix, back seat already removed Probably doing a wall. What ever i decide to go with, should i do 1 big enclosure single port or a port for each sub.
-
I went through 3 Stock alts on a 95 cavalier before i learned about the big 3 and optima batteries.

150dB what? Legal, sealed, termlab?
Can't be done with your equipment. You'll need at least 4kw to even get close. More like 6-8kw.
termlab mic at the front passenger side windshield...legal?. these subs say they can handle 2000 watt rms 4000 max. what amp would you recommend? What frequency should i be aiming for? will a larger box help? if i have to I'll give up my entire back seat space, it has already been removed, but didn't really want a wall.

gonna ask once or twice more. anyone goin to DB drag in august? just wonderin
kent is about 90 miles from me. i will go up but i doubt i'll enter. the car is not ready for big competitions if it ever will.

I have 2 cerwin vega stroker 12 inch dual 2 ohm, box is aprx 4 cubic foot measured on the outside including a port that is shared. a mtx 1501d rated 1137 watts rms at 2 ohm. big 3 has been done,and a 200 amp alternator installed. the car is 2001 pontiac grand prix and the trunk has had dynomat done. my max spl is 141.1 db at 52 hz. i would like to get 150 db or higher. are there any suggestions? thanks in advance.

oh, yeah, technically it wasn't stock. it is a db electrical 200 amp alt,but was having flickering problems with only the car running, stereo off and massive voltage drop (below 11 volts) at 2000 rpms. worst $200 i ever spent. it is the same exact size as the factory alt though. it could hold it's own with just 1 te1501d at 1 ohm.
