i would do double all around and triple baffle, with about 250 plus sq in of port tuned to low 30's.
if you run out of room.... then you dont have room for 8 12's. 6 12s in a great box will shit on 8 12s in a tiny box.

vid is a waste anyway.

damn. i dont even want to know how much that ran you...
sexy though.

i have lost all faith in shipping companies. i expect things to be broken when i buy online now. and the funny thing, no matter how good it is packed, they will try and work their way around paying a claim or refunding money to fix or order a second item. fucking assholes

lulz. good to know im not the only one.

it will do it for about 30 seconds then work again. Been getting it off an on all day.

This amp is getting hardly any love anywhere, it's like everyone wants to hate this amp... i don't get it, it's so sweet for the money.
are you serious, i havent seen one person hate on a ct sounds product, everything coleman puts out performs to spec or above and beyond. Plus he has better prices than 80% of the market.

What happened to the infamous ghostrider guy? His reputation was ON FIRE!
he basically said F SMD and went to rickteg forum or whatever it is called to show them how to set a ride on fire.

I keep losing cars in my garages. Pisses me off. Needs some patches. Some DLC for more vehicle upgrades would be cool.
rockstar posted about 3 days ago that there is a BUG. they are trying to fix it.

Here is a price comparison also for the wire I am using for these tests. Each wire is 52" long, but for ease of pricing I am going to go with 4'
(these are considering power and ground hook ups)
1 run 1/0 cca
14.83v/2987w/13.56v
$18.48($2.31 per foot)
$12.80($80 per 50' spool)
2 runs 1/0 cca
15.13v/3175w/14.11v
$36.96($2.31 per foot)
$25.60($80 per 50' spool)
1 run 1/0 ofc
14.95v/3131w/14.02v
$29.12($3.64 per foot)
$27.52($172 per 50' spool)
1 run 2/0 ofc
14.91v/3274w/14.16v
$37.12($4.65 per foot)
$36($225 per 50' spool)
The single run of 2/0 is the most expensive option, just beating out the dual runs of CCA by $0.18, but it also yielded the best result.
Now to the hot topic. 1 run of OFC vs dual runs of CCA.
The dual runs of CCA cost $7.84 more than the single run of OFC and yielded only 44w more but at .09v higher than the single run of OFC.
Price in red is the wire price per foot. Price in blue is the price if a full spool is bought.
If a full spool is purchased, the CCA slightly edges out the OFC, but now you also have to take into consideration that you will need 2 more lugs, AND a set of dual inputs($30). Now that you are having to purchase dual inputs, that make the dual runs of CCA MUCH more expensive than the single run of OFC.
So what really is the best option?
In my personal opinion, the OFC is the better option. Less runs, less work, and less money overall.
who the hell are you buying 1/0 CCA from that sells it for 2.31 a foot? Should be about a dollar less than that.... shipped.

well here is a little math i did....
1 20ft piece of OFC 1/0
500A load, loss of 1V and 500w
2 20ft pieces of CCA 1/0 (so 250a per cable)[this being less money than 1/0 OFC]
250A load x 2 (so 250 per cable), loss of 0.85V and 425w (212.5w per cable)
Tony, is this correct? or is it there more to it than just dividing by 2 when using 2 cables instead of 1?

Story is good, gameplay is extremely good, ton o side stuff, and morr

Bought 2 HDC4's from kevin, he shipped next day on both, gave me a great deal, couldnt have been happier.

Let's just say that you had access to two engines. One engine made 400hp and one made 500hp. The 500hp engine costs more money.
There would be no point at which one could say that the 400hp engine was superior to the 500hp engine, assuming horsepower was the only metric. However, one can rationalize why the 400hp engine is a better value but that still won't make it a 500hp engine.
How does that apply to this argument?
it doesnt. because you cant put 2 engines in one engine bay. would a 800hp engine that costs less than a 500hp engine be better? engines are a TERRIBLE analogy for this.

OFC > CCA.
When you see why you'll slap yourself.
Edit: you guys are really gonna argue with an engineer that just reinvented an amplifier topology to build the T15K? Maybe you should humble yourselves because you sound as bad as the noobs on this site who know everything already.
Not to be an ass, but the opinion pushed is being backed by REAL WORLD TESTING, not on paper. yes as a DIRECT comparison, OFC > CCA, but for current carrying capacity (not resistance), for the cost CCA is better. You can do 3 runs of CCA for the price of 1 Run of OFC. OFC will carry 300 max, CCA will carry close to 600.
So are you willing to lose battery capacity in extra resistance? Cost isn't the only factor influencing the answer here.
actually, i will take a .1 or .2v loss from resistance from CCA and have MORE power getting to my batteries and amplifiers than gain .2v and not have as much juice flowing back
i have tried both in my truck... came out that 4 runs of CCA bounced my voltage back faster than 2 runs or OFC or 1 run of 3/0 welding, and maintained better voltage during play....
-
Hmm Amp Dyno and DC 5k= CCA vs OFC. This one will be fun. Keep an eye out for a video in the next day or 2, I have a spool of 1/0 CCA coming from Sky High.
if you do this test, use 1 run of OFC, then double or triple inputs for CCA, to see what is better for the cost.
-
Tony is the most intelligent on this forum on this topic... But that doesn't mean everything gets a free pass, we just want some explaining, especially when real world record holders are using CCA and not OFC.
My box design for 8 x-12's, 4 CA 3500's

this is what i came up with. Port is still small for me, but not knowing how much height you are willing to give up, this is about as good as it is going to get. Doubled all around, triple baffle, didnt do bracing because it is just a visual representation.
