I was in the exact same boat in February. My dad had shot himself, the last time I seen him maybe 2 days prior I had waved at him and he looked me in the eye and didn't acknowledge me at all. It has been that way my entire life. I can honestly say I didn't care one bit that he died. I have all kinds of people that tell me I need to talk to someone about it, but honestly I could give a shit less...I don't concider him a father not even the slightest. So I for sure understand what you're going through Steve, its a weird feeling no doubt.

Looking to purchase a DD M3A with the black case. I have money ready to go. Looking to buy new or used in good condition.

Step one: Go to sears Step two: Buy craftsman multimeter (Around $20, its the best for the $$$) Step three: Install 9v battery Step four: Turn on the multimeter and turn it to OHMS. Step five: Hook the positive & negative leads to one of the coils of the woofer. This should give you a reading, if the reading is around 2... (1.7-1.8 etc etc) it is fine (even 2.1-2.2).... Now if the reading starts going crazy and reading all types of numbers it means the coil is blown.

That appears that it could be a factory issue...it is VERY rare on DC woofers, but it does happen. Your best bet would be to contact Rusty and see what he can do for you.

You play them, they break in. Simple =]

Ugh. Your killing me lol freight for two of those would kill me...can you get a quick quote for shipping? 62801

Looking for some batteries. Preferably I need 2-3 NSB 90's or 100's (Maybe bigger depending on shipping/location) I'm also interested in some of the bigger Sprinter batteries also depending on shipping/location

Meh. I'm good.

Have you ever clamped one of those? Just curious...I'm thinking of going with a Cactus k5...just trying to weigh out my options

New? Used? Are you a dealer?

Looking for a 5k+ amp...needs to be at least 5k rms and no more than 6k rms at 14.4v (due to my class limitations) I also need it to be .5 stable. I have $$$ ready to go I also would prefer to buy new if the price is right but I will buy used if its in good condition.

They look promising...and for the $$$ they are def. worth a shot.

CA probably wouldnt be the best choice...unless you were really quick at spraying activator and putting it on. I would suggest some epoxy from walmart. It has a special tube that mixes when you press down the handle. Id apply a good amount and let it sit overnight.

The NSB G-31 isnt big at all. Same size as a d3100 I believe. It will (and does) put any other group 31 battery on the market to shame lol

Lets see them compared to northstar.

There are so many variables that will go into this. My suggestion would be to play with different box designs with the p3's til you absolutely stop gaining...then if you are not satisfied I would switch woofers. That being said, for your jeep I would probably stick with 2 15's, two 18's you could fit, but it will limit the airspace you have for a enclosure more. I had two dd9515g's in my jeep and I was doing 151.9 sealed and 153.7 in the kick on about that same power you plan on running.

That is some very vague help. There are a few different companies that are as good and BETTER than both of those companies. Quit with the nuthugging.

Okay, first thing...Scrap the capacitor. Its not helping you. Secondly, do the big 3 with good connections and good wire. Then test again and see where your voltage stands. If its still dropping below 12v then I would think about getting a upgraded alternator, there is no need for you to use more than one alternator for that little power. Upgrading your battery under the hood will help a lot as well. Also if you want "more bass" look into your box design. I'm assuming you are using a prefab box, making your own or having someone make you a custom box will greatly increase your output.

Id always suggest the bigger battery ether way lol...and you dont need the battery under the hood for it to work. Ive seen several people without batteries under the hood...ALSO...there are a lot of stock vehicles with starting batteries in the trunk and such.

1400 is bigger than the 1200 lol... Make it fit. My jeep isnt suppose to fit a 1800...but I made it =]

That sucks man! Hopefully you have insurance. This is another reason I decided to do a 4th order wall...if they want my woofers and equipment they are going to have to work for it.........and avoid gun shots lol

Yes, they could be just as loud. It all is going to depend on the enclosure and the placement of it in the vehicle.

10's can be (and are in alot of cases) LOUDer (not lowd lol) than 12's. That being said the only real difference between the two is the amount of cone area. 2 10's has a cone area of 157.08, and 2 12's has a cone area of 226.19 Now that being said, more cone area is (generally) louder on the same amount of power. Soooo basically it will all depend on what kind of power you are running and the vehicle as well as the type of enclosure you decide to put them in. Like I said, you can get just as loud if not louder with 2 10's as you can 12's

Yes it will work 100% fine. I just used 14 gauge as an example. Any kind of wire will work, the wire just simple serves the purpose of sending a signal to the amp so it will turn on.

Correct. Everything grounds to the frame/chassis. There is no need for a ground from the engine to the frame...there are huge bolts that ground the engine to the frame...thus making another wire from engine to frame basically useless (but not totally, like I said less resistance). Upgrade the engine ground to the battery, and then the frame to battery. Problem solved.
