  1. Your running a 2 channel amp that is only stable at 2 ohms bridged... You have it at 1 ohm, with stock electrical.

    Lets make it simple for you, you keep doing what your doing, your going to clip your subs to death, and blow up the amp.

    Shyne is 100% right, wire each sub in series at 2 ohms, and run 1 sub at 2 ohms per channel.

    That amp is only stable at 1 ohm if you use both channels and not having it bridged.

    Couldn't explain it better myself and for the time being, be very careful with your voltage. Keep an eye on your volt meter and play it little with car off or @ idle.

  2. well lets say i want to keep it down to two batteries, 1 under hood and 1 in trunk what are my best options.

    because im thinkin maybe a bt100 under the hood and maybe one in the trunk, or a kinetik 14/1800 under the hood and maybe like a 2400 in the trunk? am i on the right track...any suggestions? my head hurts lmao. im trying to figure how you guys are coming up with this. are you trying to match the cranking amps of the batts to the rms of the combined amps. meaning a system that does 2k daily should have 2k worth of amperage from the batts??

    No mine is all from experience with more setups than i can remember... Id strongly suggest you run like a Kinetik 1400 under hood + 2 2000s or 2400s out back. I always say this, but if you're gonna spend the cash on the rest of your setup then don't skimp on electrical or security(alarm, tints, etc).

  3. I did that with some caulk we had, but someone said the wood itself leaks some air. I don't know if this is noticeable or not but I want to get as much out of my build as I can.

    I always resin the insides of my boxes, but that's more out of habit from when i competed. You won't notice or feel any air getting out what so ever is u apply sealant.

  4. I'm a fan of mine and they do get loud for having like 4k on the pair after imp. rise... I ran one daily for about a week or so @ 1ohm, while waiting for the second one to come in and it took 4k daily pretty well. I wouldn't suggest running that kind of power to each one, but 2k-3500 is perfect for them. The SQ is pretty good also, but is very box dependent. I got mine(silver cones) for an insane deal when my old shop closed down or I wouldn't have them.

    For that price/power it's a toss up IMO.

  5. so an optima yellow top d35 wont cut it for under the hood?

    That would be fine under hood, but also include 2 other big batts(powermaster 3100, Kinetik 2400, NSB90, etc).

    With 3k+ daily, I'd definitely suggest u run an HO alt... Anywhere from 200-300amp would do well, i'd suggest 250a and up though.

    Scores wise, who the hell knows lol... Could be anywhere from 135-150+ depending on enclosure, voltage, imp. rise, etc. I know you want people to "hear you coming" but please don't be another one of the idiots who sits @ red lights or pulling into gas stations at full tilt.

  6. ok it was all in the truck and the guy just told me to hold the mic in my hand and move it around, like even the digital readout was in the truck with me

    Are you serious?? If so that is truly sad that a shop doesn't understand how/where to place the mic.

    Scores were far from anything legal in any org. then... Personally I'd go back there and ask to re-test stating that they are fucking idiots.

  7. I don't think anyone knows what difference it makes, i sure don't. People luv to assume suff and really can't back up what they'er saying. Who really knows what a bass boast does, why even have it on the amp, if it's just gonna add distortion, heat, and clipping. Has anyone ever tested the effect of the bass boast, or are we going by what we've heard by word of mouth.

    The single best thing i've seen in awhile, thank you for your contribution.
