XS Power To infinity and beyond!

XS Power Power is as Power does.

think of how you would make your amp work outside of a car. pos to pos, neg to neg whats the difference? the only reason you would take amp to chassis ground in back is because its easier and cheaper than runnin a ground up front...

most likely clipping... turn your bass boost down

Direct + and direct - are the best connections you can get... least resistance...

a shitty jigsaw will cut out a shitty hole... it helps to have one with a pivoting blade. find your center and put a screw there, tie string around pencil and other side to screw, make distance from pencil to center screw the recommended mounting hole size, make sure you hold the pencil completely up right to get best results...

i have 4 runs of power from my alt going to the back and 1 from my front batt... along with 1 ground from my alt, and 1 from my front batt to the back, and i have my batts in the back grounded 4 times...... 1 per batt in the back. 1 positive run per battery in the back. so you are saying my setup is wrong? i never said anything was WRONG, are you saying every system should be setup exactly like yours to make it RIGHT?

the alt is grounded through the engine block ground. and i dont see any reason to hook rear batt straight to alt. how many volts do you get at the batt with nothing on when your car is running?

Im confused with what your trying to ask... The engine ground is the ground from the battery up front to the engine block... Not all the way in the back of your car... So for your big 3 its Batt NEG -> Engine Batt POS -> Alt Chassis ground -> Neg batt question would be, do I need to do ground upgrades if I'm running a ground cable to the back? I will eventually do it I just don't have any extra coin to get more wire. the big 3 is for your charging system not your amp directly.

you alt might not allow 300A but your battery sure can...

1/0 copper is rated @ 300A...

thnx for reply, i wont be competing at all but i will starting my car in below freezing conditions (damn upstate NY). would the D1200 still be ok to replace my Autocraft Titanium in winter?

i just noticed the litte pink dick in the bottom right corner, nice touch!

just did big 3 in Knu 1/0, works great, 14v all day long... F your local stereo shop!

the guy at my local stereo shop said that at their training sessions they were told only to double the size of your existing stock 3 and that the 0 guage Big 3 could be bad and fry something in your fuse box. He told me to do my Big 3 in 4 guage. Just got my Knu KCA 1/0 in today soo... Is there any truth to this? the voltage output of the alt and batt is the same how could this be? Save their ass on liability maybe.

my first was a Punch 250 pushin 2 Orion XTR 10's in a bandpass box in my 87 Celica GT then it all got stolen right in my driveway ARG!

the calculations ive seen for kinetik (Maxxsonics video) uses AH to determine what battery will suffice. ive come up with 80+AH. but accordint to the XS Power chart the D1200 with 44AH should suffice. Does it come down to the technology differences? i have a stock 90A alt and want to utilize the full potential of my Merlin MD2D @ 1500w rms @ 1ohm. What XS Power batt would i need?

ive done same thing and to me with 60/40 split seats, driver side rear seat down, sub box on passenger side sub facing driver side and if ported port facing back to be loudest...

yeah i was thinking that maybe in the future i would upgrade because its been a year of slowly collecting the stuff i need to start it. so by the time i want to upgrade even more i figured id have the extra money. i dont see me getting anything more than the 2200 any time within the next couple years. i agree 100% with your statement but i just want to make sure that with this set up i wont have any noticable changes if i used the kca over OFC Look at mechmans website he's bow selling shok and I think if you email the email in the thread about it they have a SMD price for te OFC spools holy cow. 184.. how much cheaper do you think he would go.. i doubt if i can get anything better than the kca for <130 range that ill be able to afford it 0 gauge

the last bullet on the description says: "Limited edition racing series - Same as HC2400" sounds like a deal to me...

250hz-35hz=215hz/2=107.5hz is 12:00 so a little bit toward 11:00, maybe like 11:17 edit: i might be wrong heh...

if it does end up being your tinsel lead it means your gain is to high... dont ask me how i know this...

whats wrong with a cube shaped box?

get out the DMM...
