You need 4...
Not for 4 SA-18s I don't, they are 600 wrms each woofers.
lol I know man, I'm just about to dump them and figured I would offer them up one last time

I just went on the hunt to see if I could find any microwaves in my house.
So far I was able to dig out 2.
Sadly all of my microwaves are not made by DC, but its the same thing anyways.
You need 4...

I might have to snag a couple 5ks as my 4500s barely fit with like .25" clearance width wise... lol
On a side note, I really wish you guys would swap out the .5" coarse thread allens on the sides into the heat sink with some beefier 1" fine thread screws. The current ones seem to back out way too easy.

It's great seeing Jeff do well, well, when he actually posts pictures... Congrats man!
-
Waaaaay to blow it Ninja...
Congrats Rob!

Your truck makes the room look small or like it's some kind of trick with a model and a Matchbox Car... lol

This is going to be bad ass
IMHO which ever one can demo a low to mid 50 for more than 10, 15, 20 minutes at a time wins (if there is such a thing). That's the point of a demo vehicle anyways right? Play time...

I missed the part where you mentioned you removed the factory ground? Mine has all sorts of crap running to that ground so that might have something to do with it as well.
Basically you want everything that grounds to go through that pickup (amp ground and factory ground). If I remember correctly it constantly samples load and adjusts accordingly, but it should only be looking every 30-60 seconds not every second. That makes me think it might have something to do with that factory ground. This is all info I read about the charging system and second hand knowledge from some alt manufacturers and techs I've talked to over the past couple years, I have too many grounds so I was never able to try it myself.
-
You want your amp's ground to go through that pickup if you were to "do it right". Outside of that there isn't anything else you can do unless your vehicle is one with an override. Most of the SUVs and trucks (not mine) will leave economy mode and go into charging mode if you manually turn on the lights or on models with a tow button if you hit the tow button. Those are the only two tricks I know of.
With these vehicles you really only have a few options. Get AD based alts (which is what the HO alt companies should be suggesting) and deal with the charge warning, go with externally regulated and deal with a charge warning, or get an MLA. For the record I bought an MLA last year, just never got around to putting it in, should have it in next weekend though finally. If I were you and if you don't already have an HO, get an AD based alt instead and just deal with the charge warning on the dash (tell the alt manufacturer what you're doing and they will give you instructions on how to wire it up).
In reference to your voltage... It's walking right? By that I mean one minute (it shouldn't be constantly moving every second) it's sitting at 13.2, the next it's at 14.1, then 13.6. then 12.8, and so on? If it's going from 14.2 to 13.3 when you turn it up then it's drop, not the PCM... The alt should still provide amps no matter what the voltage is. I have next to zero drop even when in economy mode (12.8-13.2).

noticed only 1 vote for no fusing..
thats the dumbass on here..
i always fuse everything( pos lead to battery off alt is fused then the leads going to back is fused.. then a fuse in front of the amp..
what bugs me is dudes who have a 120amp alt and use 250 300 amp fuses..WHY so itll melt everything before the fuse pops
More than likely because they draw from their front battery?
-
You fuse to prevent a fire, not to save your amps.
Long story short, unless your vehicle is worth less than the cost of a 300a ANL ($0.90) or you don't have the room, fuse it.
-
hey steve, on the pics of the subs being wired up i see that you have to grounds on the left side but not 2 on the right coil, where is the other ground running 2? and what ohms are you running that SMD at?
It's the right coil running to the left coil then both to the amp.

Might have found some subs so no longer looking.
Trying to get a pair of subs together so I'm looking for (must be willing to ship to 48124)...
D2 Mayhems or just motor(s)
or...
D2 N2 BTLs (has to be a pair)
or
D2 BTLs or just motor(s)
or maybe...
D2 DC XLs or just motor(s)
or?
If you're local (near Detroit) and interested in my subs I would work a trade plus cash on your end. I don't think I need pics saying that, but if I'm wrong delete this last sentence and I'll post a pic and readd it when I get home from work

300 is 2ohm stable, 200 is 1ohm stable... The mod lets you take the 300 down to .5ohm or less, but it's below spec so it could easily blow up. 200a fuse as mentioned is more than enough. Generally speaking the fuse won't save you from blowing up your amp, but it will keep your car from catching on fire.
I ran mine around .75 for like 8 years or something. It died when I was getting a jump and the guy on the other car grounded mine out. I swapped it for a 1400.1 I had in the closet and it's been running at .75 since (it was running at .5 prior) so another 5 years give or take.
Best I ever saw out of my 300 was just over 1800 at 15.x volts. I'm pretty sure when they came out though they were rated at 1200 not 1400 even though they became 1400 (.5/.1/.2). Could be wrong though...
-
Damn rob you should have still came down and watched me and tony blow shit up lmao
lmao yea I heard all about it
The main reason I didn't come was that I started a new job a couple weeks back and need to be on my "A game" for a bit -
Thanks for posting man! Wish I could have made it down, but I did get my amps back Saturday
-
All I know is that tacomas have shitty frames...I drilled through it no problem. Sanded it down good and secured my grounds. Was getting voltage drop down to 10v. Switched my grounds to the batts and was back up to 13.5+
where do you think those batts are grounded?
The the carpet obviously.

bumping a very old thread for a game that is a legend!!! UT2004 / UT3 best games ever
UT99 FTMFW
Wasted way too much of my life playing a mod called TO (TacOps).
-
I like how flat it looks now without all the gloss. Nice! Doesn't seem any faster/slower which is a good thing
Hopefully that kills the bots. -
Yea its fine and that other fuse is for your hitch (last picture posted).

Your money is not safe without a prenuptial agreement. Regardless if your significant other knows about it or not a good lawyer will find it. Next thing you know you have a call from your significant others lawyer asking what happened to the $347,233.42 that was in account number 4328849204 with at Bank of Got Yo’ A$$ Sucker.
It's not to prevent them from getting their share, it's to prevent them from pulling the rug out and you are out of the house without a pot to piss in. I've seen it happens to friends and family in the past.
Basically it's possible for everything to get frozen. If and or when that happens if you have both your names on everything you are left with what you have in your pocket. Say you just got paid and it's direct deposit, you're out until next pay day assuming they can change it fast enough. This is just insurance against the worse case scenario where you find yourself without a place to stay and no money.
Most of us have friends or family that can help, but I for one do not like asking anyone for help especially in an event where I could have prevented it.
The sad truth is most people just don't think about it. -
I’ve seen a couple few posts lately of guys getting totally screwed over by their woman and just wanted to take a minute to point something out to you guys (I guess the ladies too as it could go both ways).
Always have an emergency fund that only you know the details about. Sure emergency money is important, but this fund should be enough cash to get you through a few weeks after your shit winds up on the lawn (if you direct deposit and are locked out of the bank you might need longer) and NEVER touched especially when times get tough because the odds of you getting the boot go up.
When I was getting married I told my soon to be wife that I had money stashed on the side (I don’t keep secrets from her) that she can’t see or touch in the event she screws me over. Her immediate response was “You really think I would do something like that to you?!” and my response was “yes”… I know what you’re thinking “oh man I bet she was pissed fuck that, that’s too much hassle”, but it’s worth it. Basically the explanation breaks down like this, while she might never toss me out in the street and shut off every CC and the like, I could potentially do something stupid enough to make her go that far. An hour or a couple days of arguing about it is a price well worth it if you do ever find yourself pulling up to your house and your shit is on the lawn, your cards are shut off, and your locked out of your bank accounts.
I have a private account with a big bank which has no paperwork that comes to the house, no checks, no nothing. It’s in my name and she has no access nor does she even know which bank it’s with. I also have some in cash stashed as well (again nothing major, but enough).
Guys I’m telling you, don’t get caught with your pants down (funny expression for this conversation I guess lol). Your wife can literally tear you down to NOTHING in minutes with only a few phone calls and remember to look out for numero uno because when push comes to shove she can completely ruin you if you aren't prepared. Don't think that I'm saying "if you're a cheater you better be ready", because I'm not as that isn't my style, but... That's the whole thing, the "but" as you never truly know what might happen.

If I goto a barber he wouldn't know how to do a Faux-Hawk. I goto a Salon and see my stylist. I get so much shit from friends. Price of being Metro I guess. LOL
My old one would (same location since the 50's and they have 8 barbers w/ strait razor skills even), they do mostly 12-20's and while most of the guys are old, they know the drill (some old school cuts are complicated) and there are a couple younger chicks anyways. Oh did I mention it's $7?
Now I got to a girl friends basement... Screw waiting in line.
I go to the Hooter's equivalent of a barbershop called Judes.
I was waiting for one of these to pop up haha We have a couple here, hell one is like a bar too... Not the greatest idea for people driving, but it is MI.
The sad truth is most people just don't think about it.
Hey.... an OG peeps out there??? Sound off a bit...

This time around I couldn't say no to a $225 lease on a Silverado w/ a v6 lol
I just sold off my TB this past summer, the thing sat more than it played so I figured it was time to take a break. I'll just wait for the mid-life crisis to hit before I do something else... haha
