  4. The San Antonio show, who's goin??

    in Car Shows

    Hahahaha! Who is this guy? :turkey: I think to compete it's $20 and that gets you two runs. They are 30sec runs on any music you want. On top of that they use two mics. One on the passenger's headrest and the other centered at the base of the windshield. The score taken is the average of the whole run, averaged between both mics, not the peak measurement. I'm not too keen on what's the best music. I've had good luck with the remix of that Air Force Ones, not the one on the Nellyville album. Sorry about the lame song advice. :P Unfortunately I'm not going to make this show. I will make the next one in September though. Good luck if you go and compete. :drinks:

  5. PWK Design enclosures

    I paid for one of his designs for a pair of DD 9515s. It takes a while to get the plans. He communicated with me very professionally and the design worked. I don't have any sophisticated measuring equipment to tell you what the frequency response turned out looking like in real life, I can say it sounds very well with all types of music. Any body can model a tuned box, but how it will respond in a vehicle is another story. Manufactures have good recommendations. If you are looking to experiment start off by building a box to their specs and note the pros and cons. That way you'll have a good idea of what you are looking for if you do decide to pay for a design. Good luck with witch ever route you go. :drinks:

  8. Just Moved to Texas

    Welcome to San Antonio. There are a few of us San Antonians lurking around here, me being one of them. No big shows coming up. Along with the sites Vic713 listed you can also check out Streetspl.com They have teamed up with a couple of local audio shops to host shows in the San Antonio area. The next show is August the 14th. I'll probably be there if you want to make it out and meet some of the guys. :drinks:

  16. Dual alt install and now belt squeal

    You got a pic of that dual alt setup. A slipping serpentine belt means you don't have enough pulley wrap around the accessory you are trying to drive. You might have to step up to larger idlers to fix the problem. Good luck.

    Negitive ghost rider..... He just needs to play with either 1 of 2 things OR BOTH!! Either get a 1/2" shorter belt, install it and see how it is then. Or replace tentioner and shorter belt and try it then.... No need to touch any idler pully

    You're right. Now seeing his setup, it's obvious the belt wrap around the pulley isn't the issue. I would do a new tensioner first, assuming this kit was just installed, and the belt is new and was included in the kit. I'd want to see where the tensioner lands with regards to stock before making the jump to a shorter belt. Too much tension will wreak havoc on accessory bearing. If you wanted to be able to drive like a mad man and keep a multi alt setup from ever slipping you'd have to make the jump to 8 or 10 rib belt.

  20. Would it work if I...

    Gotcha, So if I got a Shuriken battery for the trunk and kept the one up front would it cause any problems?

    If you let the car sit for an extended period of time the batteries would end up draining each other. It fight this it is recommended to use an industrial relay (200+ amps) or a battery isolator. This is only if the vehicle will sit for an extended period (a month or more). If you are using this vehicle on a daily basis everything should be fine.
