so you have it all in now? damn if I knew all that could fit back there. The 6 12"s I was talking about took a lot of space in a tahoe.

biggest I've seen in a truck near that size was 6 12"s. You also need space for amps and batts, unless your running all that stuff in a different area.

kinda off-topic. Can this site understand what we are talking about? I don't mean like it's living or understanding us (some terminator shit), but I see Lexus ads above us.

Pretty cool situation to be in.

Some one needs to go bust his shit up. I was never taught about fault tolerance in school. I'm reading up on it now, but still trying to understand how it works.

wow, i must know some nasty chicks No, I know where your coming from. 4 just seems low as an average.

So I heard that the average woman has 4 sexual partners in their life time. I think that is grossly wrong. I know chicks that have done 4 guys in a day. You guys think that's accurate? No disrespect to fathers here, but I think most girls have done 4 before the get out of high school.

^^^^ that

I heard there are more cures for things than we could imagine. I hear there was something that could cure nearly all cancer by cutting it's blood supply off. I heard it cost a fortune thou.

^^^ thanks. MECP tells you one way, but they don't account for newer battery technology. I think the Optima is their example AGM battery. So are these anything like Xstatic's battcaps or a different creature? These batteries sound impressive.

I have a few Q's. I've learned that you have to provide the power to make the power. You should be able to make more amperage than your setup in full could pull in order to get the most of it. Let's say a 4 alt setup in a chevy that makes 1200-1300 amps should power a 13000 watt setup. I know about how batteries provide a little amperage in the circuit. My question is, a setup that pulls more power than you alts can make, can be powered off batteries? I thought if the alts didn't put that power back in, the battery would eventually be drained down. I thought thats why a lot of people with 20, 30 and 40 thousand watt stereos using batteries to power them could only play them for limited times? Like a car making 500 amps and the stereo pulling 400 amps, would only need one battery for filtering since the alts are making all the needed power. Sorry I asked so much, but I have a pro on hand, so I gotta learn.

I was hoping for a blow-thru in a elcamino

That tickled my innards

I started like in 03 or 04 and remember it like yesterday. Loudest thing I remember from then was a pickup walled with 4 of the orange MOJO 15"s and the MOJO amps. I can't remember if there was a 4K then or if it was two 2Ks. That seems weak now.

When I first got into audio, the biggest amps I saw in shops were like the MOJO 4K and such. I was in shock and awe about that much power. Now that is used on one woofer. I;m fairly young, but my idea of bass head wattage has completely changed in recent years.

This is something I've wanted to talk about as long as I've started here. When I first got in the hobby, it didn't take much to impress me. I thought 1000 watts was a lot of power. 2000 watts was for real bass heads. 4000 was for people out of their minds. I got my first true taste of car audio going to shops, talking to owners and listening to their demo vehicles when I was younger. That was like the most power you heard about in shops and still is in some. Now guys have 1000 watts on tweeters. I now feel to be adequate, you need about 10K wattage wise. True bass heads are now 20K and out of their mind people are 30K and up. I know a lot of you guys are seasoned vets, but anybody else thought the same? My last stereo was 2400 watts and I thought it was loud. My very first was 800 watts. I don't even want another setup until it is low and loud enough to choke me and blur my vision. It wasn't until I go here, that I saw the power I was dealing with was for amateurs.

I hear ya, but I swear they have a guy here that is active. I could be wrong.

I've wondered about getting inspected with walls. Do you have to take them out for that? I would love to run a wall my next time around, but they seem so involved.

I'm pretty sure you got that the wrong way around, H/O alts produce the most power at higher RPMs, stock ones would most likely be designed to produce their power at normal speeds and idle. You can have H/O alts made to do more at lower RPMs though. We wouldn't need aftermarket alts if that was the case. I have a bunch of car audio book that say other wise. Most aftermarket alts put out more amperage at idle than a stock does at the highest possible RPM.

You need a bigger alt because most stock alts don't produce much juice until they get high in RPM. Your honda I believe has a 320A alt at DC Power. That would handle everything and more.

I was impressed because he was doing 148 (I guess burping with 3 1000/1s). Yeah, that stereo was probably worth more than the truck, but he didn't care.

I'm not a JL nut hugger, but their shit can hold it's own. 6 w3 12"s in a tahoe was one of the loudest, deepest and best sounding setups I've ever heard.

i my eyes, pick-ups and SUV on air bags = sexay

Don't you love it when people have a problem with site rules or an admin and attack you? That like the Cowboys dropping too many passes and attacking Jerry Jones for it.

I believe only GMs/Chevy have the space under the hood to run multiple alts. I really find that crazy. A lot of rides can take two, but they have to be figured out.
